A CANNIBALIZED BODY FOUND ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF ATLANTIC CITY LEAD SCULLY AND MULDER ON A QUEST AFTER A VERY OLD, VERY HUNGRY MYSTERY.
When a partially eaten body is found in the New Jersey woods outside Atlantic City, Mulder links it to "The Jersey Devil," a monster whose legends go back to the 18th century. Mulder suspects the recent deaths of several homeless men are the work of the "Devil," but Scully believes they were killed by a wild animal. Local law enforcement officials are suppressing the truth to preseve the town's tourist image, even to the extent of jailing Mulder to halt his investigation. Undaunted, Mulder tells Scully that a shadowy figure he saw in an alley is a humanoid that has come out of the woods in search of food. Scully consults her former anthropology professor, who warns her that such a creature would be higher than us in the food chain. After the body of a man-beast is found by a forest ranger, Mulder suspects that the "Devil" they are chasing is a female. Mulder, Scully and the professor track the creature through the gritty warehouse district of Atlantic City, one step ahead of the local cops, who are bound and determined to kill the creature.
Quotes
____________________
Scully: "Working hard, Mulder?"
Mulder:(indicating to centerfold) "This woman claims to have been taken aboard a space ship and held in an anti- gravity chamber without food and water for three days."
Scully:(looking sideways at magazine) "Antigravity's right. Sorry to interrupt your serious investigation, but I just heard a story that'd just about take your knees out."
Mulder: "What's that?"
Scully: "They found a body in the New Jersey woods yesterday, missing it's right arm and shoulder. They think they may have been eaten off, by a human."
Mulder: "Where in New Jersey?"
Scully: "Just outside Atlantic City."
Mulder: "Not an uncommon place to lose a body part."

Scully: "It was your opening, Mulder. You could have really humiliated him and, uh, told him who the perpetrator was. The Jersey Devil."

Ellen: "Dana, you went through the FBI academy, what better training could there be for
motherhood? Seriously, you're great with kids, what're you talking about."
Scully: "When am I supposed to find the time?"
Ellen: "Well first you have to get a life."
Scully: "Ooooh."
Ellen: "And, of course, it helps if you can find a man."
Scully: "Know of any?"
Ellen: "Yeah, they're disappearing faster than the Brazilian rain forest. What about that guy you
work with?"
Scully: "Mulder?"
Ellen: "Yeah, I thought you said he was cute."
Scully: "He's a jerk. He's not a jerk, he's umm, he's obsessed with his work."

Scully:(on the phone) "What's that noise in the background?"
Mulder: "That's a guy getting sick."
Scully: "Mulder, where are you? (pause as he tells her) The drunk tank."

Scully: "Well, it's not hard to see why they mistook you for a vagrant."
Mulder: "You gonna rag on me or you gonna take me to get something to eat?"
Scully: "Am I buying, or did you manage to panhandle some spare change while you were at it?"
____________________________________________________________
Scully: "I have a date."
Mulder: "Can you cancel?"
Scully: "Unlike you, Mulder, I would like to have a life."
Mulder: "I have a life!"

Mulder: "What if it is a female Scully? How close is she to you or me? Does she feel emotion? Or are her days just spent looking for food?"
Scully: "Maybe, she spends her day shopping."
Mulder: "Eight million years out of Africa, I don't think we're all that different."
Scully: "Mulder, we've put men into space, we've built computers that work faster than the human mind...."
Mulder: "While we over-populate the world and create new technologies to kill each other with.
Maybe we're just beasts with big brains."

Mulder: "You should have seen her, she was beautiful."
Scully: "Yeah, well, she just about ripped your lungs out."

Mulder: (walking to the door) "What are you doing?"
Scully: "I'm going with you to the Smithsonian."
Mulder: "Don't you have a life Scully?"
Scully: "Keep that up Mulder and I'll hurt you like that beast woman."
Mulder: "Eight million years out of Africa..."
Scully: (holding door open for him) "Look who's holding the door."
