MULDER: Yes, but she's... she's not the type that's easily persuaded.

ARTHUR DALES: Is that so?

SCULLY: What he means is I don't hear a story about a sea monster and automatically assume it's the Lord's gospel truth.

ARTHUR DALES: Why did you bring her here?

DEPUTY GREER: Oh, no. You're gonna kill me.

MULDER: No, I'm not, but I'd like to.

SCULLY: Because sea monsters can only be read about, Mulder, because they don't exist.

MULDER: If the sea is where life began-- where our ancestors first walked ashore-- then who's to say what new life may be developing in its uncharted depths.

MULDER: The good thing about zero visibility, Scully? Can't get any worse.

MULDER: He's gone.

SCULLY: It's gone?

MULDER: No. He's gone. The deputy.

SCULLY: Where'd he go?

MULDER: I think the deputy went out with the bathwater.

ARTHUR DALES: If Agent Scully had not been there with you I shudder to think what would have happened to you. I'd say you owe her your life. It takes a big man to admit this, but... if I had had someone as savvy as her by my side all those years ago in the X-Files I might not have retired.
