Drive
Another nosebleed. Mulder and Scully investigating fertilizer sales, weren't they going to split them up in the movie?
This time Mulder is the one being kidnapped for a change. And there's another reference to him being jewish.
Apparently, the FBI are commonly reffered to as "you people".
One of the quotes I frequently use at work (in my head anyway) is "big piles of manure".
Triangle
Another one of my absolute favourite X-files episodes in which Mulder travels back in time and ends up on the Queen Anne luxury ocean liner at the beginning of the second world war.
Never expected the Lone Gunmen to show up in an FBI building so openly.
As always when Mulder's in danger, Scully's a force to be reckoned with. Which leads to lots of threats and profanity. I'm guessing it would've turned into a cat fight if Fowley had crossed her path...As a matter of fact she even pretends to be Fowley on the phone and discovers Fowley and AD Kersh have connections with CSM.
Meanwhile on the ship, Mulder, Mr "trust no one", once again trusts everyone. Skinner saves Mulder and Scully again, even while speaking German. I wonder what Mulder would've thought about Scully kissing Skinner on the lips in the elevator. Mulder kisses Scully with the excuse that they might never meet. I seriously doubt he needs an excuse to kiss the real/future Scully though (or maybe I'm just going through an identity crisis thinking I'm Scully due to an excess of X-files). Scully punching him was fitting though, I mean she doesn't know the guy remember (and that also gave her an excuse to kiss and make up later)?
Mulder wakes up in the hospital, tells Scully what happened, conveniently leaving out the fact that they kissed, and then tells her he loves her. The look on Scully's face is once again priceless.
But I don't just love this story, the way it was filmed is really fitting as well with long continuous scenes (reminds me of Rope from Hitchcock). Can't have been easy to film though.
Skinner: "I could lose my job, my pension, I could even be subject to legal action." [Scully sighs and starts to open the door, but Skinner slams it back and keeps his hand on it] "Use your head, Scully. It'll save your ass."
Scully: "Save your own ass, sir. You'll save your head along with it."
Scully: "I want you to do me a favour. It's not negotiable. Either you do it or I kill you. You understand?"
Spender: "You okay, Agent Scully?"
Scully: "No, I'm not. I'm a gun ready to go off so don't test me, Spender. Don't even think about trying to weasel me."
Scully: "Don't ask too many questions. I don't care what you do or who you do or who you have to grease, I need that information and I need it now. Are we clear on that?"
Spender: "Crystal."
Scully: "And, Agent Spender... If you're not back in a hurry I am going to hunt you down, and so help me God..."
Kersh's Secretary: "Agent Spender is with Assistant Director Kersh."
Scully: "That rat bastard!"
Scully: "Now what, Einstein?"
Mulder: "So, in case we never meet again..."
Mulder: "And he was there, too."
Skinner: "Right — Me and my dog Toto."
Mulder: "No, you were there with the Nazis."
Scully: "Mulder, will you settle down? It's an order."
Skinner: "Not that he takes orders..."
Mulder: "You saved the world, Scully."
Scully: "Yeah... You're right. I did."
Frohike: "What kind of drugs is he on?"
Langly: "I want some."
Mulder: "I would've never seen you again. But you believed me."
Scully: "In your dreams. Mulder, I want you to close your eyes and I want you to think to yourself 'There's no place like home'."
Mulder: "Mmm. Hey, Scully."
Scully: "Yes?"
Mulder: "I love you."
Scully: "Oh, brother..."
Dreamland I and II
Mulder pretending to be Mulder (or someone else) is always fun. Actually, it's downright hilarious.This is where they have the "get out of the car" conversation, with Scully sounding a bit exasperated while talking about a normal family life. Later on Mulder looks a bit exasperated himself trying to live a normal family life.
The mirrorscene with Mulder in his underwear is just brilliant.
Meanwhile, "Mulder" has turned into Kersh's golden boy and has gone past the sexual innuendo he usually throws at Scully. Which is indeed "bizarre".
This is the first time we see Mulder's kitchen and bedroom (redecorated with a waterbed and mirror on the ceiling, most likely the real Mulder would've decorated it in the same way).
There are so many great and hilarious scenes in these two episodes, right down to the last scene where Mulder opens his door again to make sure he has the right appartment.
Scully: "Mulder, it's the dim hope of finding that proof that's kept us in this car, or one very much like it for more nights than I care to remember. Driving hundreds if not thousands of miles through neighbourhoods and cities and towns where people are raising families and buying homes and playing with their kids and their dogs, and... in short, living their lives. While we — we — we just keep driving."
Mulder: "What is your point?"
Scully: "Don't you ever just want to stop? Get out of the damn car? Settle down and live something approaching a normal life?"
Mulder: "This is a normal life."
Scully: "Mulder!"
Mulder: "Hey... Hey, Dana. How's it going?"
Scully: "Mulder... Where have you been?"
Mulder: "Oh, sorry, I just got a little lost on my way in."
Scully: "You got lost?"
Mulder: "I'm just a little, you know, little lost in my head."
Scully: "Yeah."
Joanne Fletcher: "Her nose! You said you'd give her an answer on her nose."
Morris Fletcher: "Um. I think... I think she's a little young for plastic surgery, don't you think?"
Joanne Fletcher: "Oh, for god sakes, Morris. A nose ring! She said she wants a nose ring!"
Christine Fletcher: "I hate you! I wish you were dead."
Morris Fletcher: "Well... my work here is done. Have a nice day."
Mulder: "Who do you suppose that was?"
Scully: "That wasn't your source? Well, I'll run a trace."
Mulder: "Uh... No, no. I think we should notify El Jefe ASAP. We don't want our collective asses chewed out all over again."
Scully: "Mulder? Are you sure that's the best thing to do?"
Mulder: "Look, little lady. I think it's time you got your panties on straight. We're federal officers, we go by the book."
Scully: "You don't think that we should follow up on this?"
Mulder: "Are you out of your pretty little mind?"
Scully: "Am I out of my mind? Mulder, you are out of your mind! What is up with you?! I'm thinking about having you examined for mental illness or-or drug use or... Or maybe a massive head injury! This is an X-File, your life's work, your crusade!"
Mulder: "As I understand it, we're off the X-Files
Mulder: "Bitch..."
Morris Fletcher: "Does Scully sound like a woman's name to you?"
Morris Fletcher: "I'm Mulder. I'm really Mulder. I switched bodies, places, identities with this man Morris Fletcher, the man that you think is Mulder, but he's not. Of course you don't believe me. Why was I expecting anything different? Your full name is Dana Katherine Scully. Your badge number is... hell, I don't know your badge number! Your mother's name is Margaret, your brother's name is Bill Jr, he's in the Navy and he hates me. Lately for lunch you've been having... like this little six ounce cup of yoghurt... plain yoghurt... into which you stir some bee pollen because you're on some kind of bee pollen kick even though I tell you you're a scientist and should know better..."
Joanne Fletcher: "Cheater!"
Scully: "Look, any of that information could have been gathered by anyone."
Morris Fletcher: "Even that yoghurt thing? That is so you. That is so Scully... Well it's good to know you haven't changed, that's somewhat comforting."
Joanne Fletcher: "You know, Morris, most men when they have a mid-life crisis they go out and buy themselves a sports car. They don't run around calling themselves Fox."
Mulder: "What? Baby..."
Scully: "'Baby' me and you'll be peeing through a catheter.
Morris Fletcher: "You don't look too happy. Don't tell me I'm going to have to put two kids through school."
Scully: "I'd kiss you if you weren't so damn ugly."
Mulder: "Take a picture — it'll last longer.
Morris Fletcher: "If I... shoot him is that murder or suicide?"
Scully: "Neither, if I do it first."
