As you know, the heart of the entire X-Files universe is the relationship between Mulder, who is constantly looking for alternative solutions, and the sensible and scientifically approached Dana Scully. Her succinct summaries of Mulder’s theories are an art in themselves.
Here is a small overview of Mulder’s ideas as seen through his partner’s eyes:
“You missed your chance for a grand entrance, Mulder. You could have crushed him
and even tell him who the wanted murderer is, this, um… Jersey Devil”
(1/04, Jersey Devil)
“Let’s say a miracle happens, you convince Michelle’s mother and under hypnosis
you will get confirmation that the little one is the reincarnation of Charlie Morris.
Can you tell me what court would consider something like that as evidence in a case?”
(1/21, Born Again)
“Mulder, mushrooms are not medicine. They taste good in hamburgers,
but they will not raise anyone from the dead!” (2/11, Excelsius Dei)
“Influencing someone to buy hair dye is a little different,
than to get him to drive straight into a speeding truck” (3/17, Pusher)
“You’ll end up just like him. Listening only to yourself,
in hopes of catching a glimpse of truth, devil knows what for” (3/22, Quagmire)
“Mulder, I can finally agree that this woman practiced some form
black magic. But to return something, you have to swallow it first!” (4/06, Sanguinarium)
“You’re not implying that a decapitated body walked out of the morgue on its own…
are you implying?” (4/14, Leonard Betts)
“You say I hit him twice (…) and then he jumped on me
like a flying squirrel?” (5/12, Bad Blood)
“Okay, I admit it – I’m scared. But it’s not rational!”
(6/08, How the Ghosts Stole Christmas)
“Mulder, I don’t even know what to say to that. People don’t live forever!” (6/09, Tithonus)
“What he meant was that when he heard stories about sea monsters
I do not automatically recognize them as God’s revealed truth” (6/14, Agua Mala)
“Mulder, couldn’t you for once… just to see what it’s like… take the simplest
and the most logical solution, instead of immediately thinking about UFOs, Big Feet and such…?”
(6/21, Field Trip)
“Mulder, instead of blaming the ghosts right away, maybe at least initially
should we just ask his buddies?” (7/06, Rush)
“Humans can’t rise from the dead, Mulder. These ghost and zombie stories are just a manifestation
our repressed cannibalistic and sexual fears and desires” (7/18, Hollywood A.D.)
(about Mulder) “Yeah, I can guess what he’ll say. He’ll say you’re some kind of genie
from One Thousand and One Nights or something like that and that you grant people’s wishes” (7/21, Je Souhaite)
and:
(after giving a long and complicated scientific argument, seeing Mulder’s face)
“Okay. What’s your theory?” (1-7, at least a dozen times on different occasions)
