her abduction. But in his flashback, they are playing Stratego and watching
television in the living room.
NOTE: Did you notice that even though she wasn't there as long as he
was, Scully did not appear to have a drop of persperation on her, while
Mulder was basically sweating like a pig once he got there? Yeah, I know
men sweat a lot more than women, but still.
NOTE: Just wanted to point out how wonderfully Skinner kicked CSM out
of his office. :)

Irresistible

and U.F.O.'s than the kind of cold-blooded, inhuman monster who could prey
on the living to scavenge from the dead." - Scully
"A body has a story to tell." - Scully
"Is your hair normal or dry?" - Donnie Pfaster
"I know this house, girlie girl. There's nowhere to hide." -
Donnie Pfaster
"The conquest of fear lies in the moment of its acceptance, and
understanding what scares us most is that which is most familiar, most
commonplace." "It's been said that the fear of the unknown is a rational
response to the excesses of the imagination, but our fear of the everyday,
the lurking stranger and the sound of footfalls on the stairs; the fear
of violent death and the primitive impulse to survive are as frightening
as any X-File, as real as the acceptance that it could happen to you."
- Mulder
WARNING: Beward of escalating fetishists! Oh yeah! Like you could tell them apart from regular people!
NOTE: My absolute favorite episode!
NOTE: Did you notice that when Agent Bocks types, all you hear is a
bunch of keys going? You know he's really not typing, just banging
on the keys. But that's irrelevant to the story, of course.

agent." - Mr. Nutt
"I could be mistaken. Maybe it was another bald-headed, jigsaw-puzzled,
tattooed, naked guy I saw." - Mulder

- Mr. Nutt
"And you'd be surprised how many men do as well."
