Mulder:
[
Investigating a body] Have you noticed that this man's shoes are untied?
Scully:
Mulder, what's your point?
Mulder:
This means something.
Sheriff Hartwell:
Yeah. Okay. Uh... what she said, that's what I'm thinking, and, uh... Yeah.
Scully:
First of all, if the family of Ronnie Strickland does indeed decide to sue the FBI for, I think the figure is $446 million, then you and I both will most certainly be co-defendants. And second of all... I don't even have a second of all, Mulder! $446 million! I'm in this as deep as you are, and I'm not even the one that overreacted! I didn't do the...

makes jabbing motion with finger]
Scully:
with the thing!
Mulder:
I did not overreact, Ronnie Strickland was a vampire!
Scully:
Where's your proof?
Mulder:
You're my proof! You were there! Okay, now you're scaring me. I want to hear exactly what you're going to tell Skinner.
Scully:
Oh, you want our stories straight.
Mulder:
No, no, I didn't say that! I just want to hear it the way you saw it.
Scully:
I don't feel comfortable with that...
Mulder:
Prison, Scully! Your cellmate's nickname is going to be Large Marge. She gonna read a lot of Gertrude Stein.
Mulder:
Historically, cemeteries were thought to be a haven for vampires, as are castles, catacombs and swamps, but unfortunately, you don't have any of those.
Sheriff Hartwell:
We used to have swamps, only the EPA made us take to calling 'em "wetlands".
Scully:
But I just put money in the "magic fingers"!
Mulder:
[
hops on bed] I won't let it go to waste!
Scully:
Begin autopsy on white male, age sixty, who is arguably having a worse time in Texas than I am, though not by much. I'll begin with the Y-incision.

She picks up the scalpel provided to her and the blade falls off]
Scully:
Yee-ha.
Scully:
Why would a real vampire need fake fangs?
Mulder:
Fangs are very rarely mentioned in the literature; they're more or less an invention of Bram Stoker's. I think you were right about this being a guy who's watched too many Dracula movies. It's just that he happens to be a real vampire.
Scully:
[
waiting to speak to Skinner about Mulder's "staking" a suspect] Mulder, just keep reminding them that you were drugged.
Mulder:
[
impatiently] Shhh!
Walter Skinner:
[
enters room] Agents...
Mulder:
[
interrupting] I was drugged!
Walter Skinner:
Ronnie Strickland's body has gone missing from the morgue, in conjunction with this the coroner's been attacked. His throat was bitten.
Scully:
The coroner's dead?
Walter Skinner:
[
uncomfortably] No... his throat was... bitten. Just sort of... gnawed on.
Scully:
[
bewildered] But... he was dead!
Mulder:
[
bemused] I saw that.
Scully:
He had a stake through his heart!
Mulder:
I saw that too.
