SCULLY SEARCHES FOR HER MISSING PARTNER AS MULDER SEEKS PROOF OF ALIEN CONTACT -- AND FAITH IN HIMSELF AGAIN.
Reassigned to separate jobs after the closing of The X-Files, Mulder and Scully meet clandestinely to keep in touch and try to resurrect the Files. Mulder is so shaken by Deep Throat's death and the loss of The X-Files that he begins to doubt even the foundation of his quest: the abduction of his sister, Samantha. Mulder is called in by his congressional patron to investigate the possibility of alien contact in Puerto Rico. Mulder journeys to an abandoned listening post in Arecibo, PR, while Scully strives to find him before a hostile UFO retrieval team does. Mulder must face fears stemming from his sister's abduction as a remarkable experience in the jungle tests his faith both in his quest and in himself.

Quotes
____________________
(Mulder's opening monologue)
Mulder: "We wanted to listen... I wanted to believe, but the tools had been taken away. The X-Files had been shut down. They closed our eyes. Our voices have been silenced. Our ears now deaf to the realms of extreme possibilities."

(Scully drifts off while teaching students)
Student: "Are you OK, Agent Scully? You kinda sounded, uh, a little spooky..."
Scully: (reacts to Mulder's nickname)

(Mulder and Scully in carpark)
Mulder: "$4 for the first hour of parking is criminal. What you got better be worth at least 45 minutes..."
Scully: "You know, Mulder, from back there you look like him."
Mulder: "Him?"
Scully: "Deep Throat."
Mulder: "He's dead, Scully. I attended his funeral at Arlington through 8-power binoculars from 1000 yards away. Now the picture frame was turned down, you wanted to talk? What have you found?"
Scully: "I wanted to talk but I haven't found anything."
Mulder: "It's dangerous for us just to have a little chat."
____________________________________________________________
Scully: "What makes you think they care about us anymore, anyway?"
Mulder: "So why have you bothered to come here covertly?"
Scully: "Because I realized that it was the only way that you would see me."
____________________________________________________________
Mulder: "Actually the idea was presented to Hale one night while he was playing billiards.
An elf climbed in his window and told him to get money from the Rockefeller Foundation for a telescope."
Scully: "And you're worried that all your life you've been seeing elves?"
Mulder: "In my case, little green men."
____________________________________________________________
Mulder: "Seeing is not enough, I should have something to hold onto. Some solid evidence. I learned that from you."
____________________________________________________________
Scully: "Mulder, even if George Hale only saw elves in his mind, the telescope still got built. Don't give up."

Samantha: "Mom and Dad said I could watch some movie, Buttmunch."

Sen. Matheson: "Do you know this, Fox?"
Mulder: "Bach, Brandenburg Concerto Number 3."
Matheson: (holding up 2 fingers) "Two."
Mulder: "Good thing it wasn't a Double Jeopardy question."
____________________________________________________________
Matheson: "Do you know the significance of this piece?"
Mulder: "Well, uh, recalling music appreciation with Professor Ganz, Bach had a genius for polyphonic..."
Matheson: "This is the 1st selection of music on the Voyager Spacecraft."
____________________________________________________________
Matheson: "Do you like Bach, Mulder?"
Mulder: "I live for Bach."
Matheson: "Then let's hear it again."

(Scully checking Mulder's answering machine)
Woman: "Mulder, you hounded me to have lunch with you today and you don't show? You're a pig!"
____________________________________________________________
(Scully caught in Mulder's apartment)
Scully: "I was told by the Assistant Director that Mulder was gone."
Agent: "So?"
Scully: "So, whenever he's away I feed his fish."
____________________________________________________________
Mulder: "No, Jorge, don't touch the red button. Nojo on the Rojo."
____________________________________________________________
(Mulder talking into tape recorder)
Mulder: "Deep Throat said 'Trust No One'. It's hard, Scully. Suspecting everyone, everything. It wears you down. You even begin to doubt what you know is the truth. Before, I could only trust myself. Now, I can only trust you. And they've taken you away from me."
____________________________________________________________
Mulder: "They came, Scully. The ones that took her. They were here."
Scully: "Here? Or here?" (putting hand on his head)
____________________________________________________________
Scully: "Evidence is worthless if you're dead."
____________________________________________________________
Mulder: "A minute ago I was a four-bagger..."
____________________________________________________________
Mulder: "I still have my work. I still have you. I still have myself."
