The X-Files

Duane Barry: The government knows about it, you know. They're even in on it sometimes. Right there in the room when they come.

Duane Barry: They're not taking me again. You got it? They can take somebody else!

Scully: Mulder, it's me. I just had something incredibly strange happen. This piece of metal that they took out of Duane Barry, it has some kind of a code on it. I ran it through a scanner and some kind of a serial number came up. What the hell is this thing, Mulder? It's almost as if... it's almost as if somebody was using it to catalogue him.

Ballistics Expert: Could be a shell casing or a small artillery fragment. The edges are dull, but it could have been white-hot when it entered the body.
Scully: That would make sense.
Ballistics Expert: But look at this.
Scully: What?
Ballistics Expert: These small markings. See them here?
Scully: Mm-hmm. Looks like some kind of a stamp.
Ballistics Expert: Like it's been tooled or etched. Pretty fine work, too. This square we're looking at is only ten microns across. Strange.

Scully: Sometimes when you want to believe so badly, you end up... looking too hard.
Lucy Kazdin: I actually called you down here for another reason, Agent Mulder. Uh... in the x-rays, the surgeon found several pieces of metal. In his gums, in his sinus cavity, and one in the abdomen. I had them checked, I felt you'd want to know... and there were tiny drill holes in his left and right rear molars. A dentist who examined them said they could not have been done with any of the current equipment in use... not without chipping or damaging the tooth. Anyway... I thought you ought to know.

Scully: Where's Mulder?
Krycek: He traded himself for one of the hostages.
Scully: What?
Krycek: He's in with Duane Barry.
Scully: You've got to get him out of there.
Krycek: Well, they're working on it.
Scully: No, you've got to get him out of there now or he's going to be killed!
Krycek: How can you be sure?
Scully: Because Duane Barry is not what Mulder thinks he is.

Krycek: Is there anything I can do?
Lucy Kazdin: Yeah, what's your name again?
Krycek: Krycek.
Lucy Kazdin: Krycek, have you got your notepad? Grande, two percent cappuccino with vanilla.

Mulder: Well, if you just wanted somebody to come down and read the script, you didn't have to bring me out.
Rich: This method has proven extremely successful in winning the hostage-taker's trust.
Mulder: No, no, that man is afraid. And the only way you're going to win his trust is by trying to understand what he's afraid of.

Mulder: Nobody's going to try anything, Duane. Who is this guy? He's F.B.I., isn't he?
Lucy Kazdin: Former F.B.I.
Mulder: And you didn't think to mention that?
Lucy Kazdin: He's been out of the bureau since 1982. Institutionalized on and off for over a decade. It's beside the point.
Mulder: The point being that the bureau wants to minimize its embarrassment, isn't that it? That we can police our own.
Lucy Kazdin: They would like it done as neatly and cleanly as possible.
Mulder: Well, you're off to a hell of a start.

Lucy Kazdin: You really believe in this stuff, Agent Mulder?
Mulder: Is that a problem?
Lucy Kazdin: We're here to save lives. You'll begin negotiations immediately. Every three hours, we'll reevaluate your progress and let our tactical commander advise and update on the use of force.
Mulder: If this man is an abductee, I need to know more about him, his personal history. Each abduction case is different.
Lucy Kazdin: That material's not been made available to us.
Mulder: And nobody's thought to call the hospital for records?
Lucy Kazdin: Look, Agent Mulder. The guy's a psycho. Your object is to keep him on the phone. The longer you do, the more chance he's not going to kill anybody. We stop to do a Freudian analysis, next thing we know, we've got four dead hostages. So whatever crap you got to make up about space men or UFOs, just keep him on the phone.
