QUOTES

[over phone]
Mulder: It sounds to me like that's witchcraft or maybe sorcery that you're looking for there.
Scully: No, I don't think it's witchcraft, Mulder, or sorcery. I've had a look around and I don't see any evidence of anything that warrants that kind of suspicion.
Mulder: Maybe you don't know what you're looking for.
Scully: Like evidence of conjury or the black arts, or shamanism, divination, wicca or any kind of pagan or neo-pagan practices. Charms, cards, familiars, bloodstones, or hex signs or any kind of ritual tableaux associated with the occult, santeria, voudoun, macumba, or any high or low magic.

Scully: A scientific explanation?
Mulder: Yeah, a medical cause. Something called Corea.

Scully: Then why'd you call? ---

Mulder: Oh God, I mean it's amazing what I can accomplish without incessant meddling and questioning into everything I do. It's just... (Two pencils land in Mulder's lap from up above. Scully looks up, and there are 100 pencils stuck into the ceiling! She looks down again at Mulder, who's all sheepish)
Mulder: There's got to be an explanation...
Scully: Oh, I don't know. I think some things are better left unexplained.
