Leonard Betts - Tempus Fugit

LEONARD BETTS	Mulder: (Looking in morgue freezer) Pretty cozy. Who'd ever want to leave? Scully: Well, whoever happened to get locked in here last night, I guess. Mulder: That would be a Mr. Leonard Morris Betts, age 34. But it should probably be noted that when Mr. Betts arrived here last night he was sans head. Scully: What about the morgue attendant? Mulder: Somebody cold-cocked him and stole his clothes. Scully: What are we doing here? Mulder: Did I mention that Mr. Betts had no head? Scully: Yes, so? I mean, you're not suggesting that a headless body kicked his way out of a locked morgue freezer, are you? Mulder: Yeah, but why take a headless one and leave one of those top- dollar bodies behind? Mulder: (Gooeying through the waste) Ooh, I think I got the toy surprise. Scully: Leonard Betts. Mulder: That's his head, but where's his body? Mulder: I wanna see how he lives. Scully: Lived. Mulder: Lived. Scully: Well, because... uh... I experienced an unusual degree ofpost-mortem galvanic response. Mulder: The head moved... Scully: It blinked at me... (Mulder laughs)... Mulder: (Deeming this great fun on Scully) Blinked or winked? You're afraid to cut into it. Scully, you're not saying it's... alive, are you? Mulder: (Looking at the mess) ...Made himself at home. Maybe he was home. Scully: (Unbelieving) Leonard Betts... Mulder: Yeah. Scully: Without his head. Mulder: (Sounding ooked) Yeah? Scully: The remains are dipped in the epoxy and once it's cured the specimen can be sliced for analysis. Mulder: Or you got yourself a nice paperweight. Scully: (Looking at Bett's brain section) What are you seeing? Mulder: Let's get a slice to go. Mulder: Chuck, would you believe that this man's head had been decapitated? Chuck: Aw, man! No way! Mulder: Way! Scully: (Contemplating the biopsies) So you're saying that this is... Mulder: Snack food. Scully: Well, whatever he was doing, he's taking the secret to his grave. Mulder: Yeah, for the second time. Mulder: (Contemplating bodies in coffin and on the table) Will the real Leonard Betts please stand up!
MEMENTO MORI	(giving flowers) Mulder: Scully? I uh, I... stole these from some guy with a broken leg down the hall. He, uh, won't be able to catch me. Scully: For all the times that I have said that to you I'm as certain about this as you have ever been. Mulder: ...ogoing through some of those hard files before stuff starts disappearing and call me an early bird but I think I found something. Scully: ...I think we both know that.. right now, the truth is in me. And tht's where I need to pursue it, as soon as possible. Mulder: (To Skinner) They've taken a turn. A pretty big U turn by the looks of it. This is a file directory from a federally operated fertility clinic. Agent Scully's name is on this file. Although I'm pretty sure, pretty damn sure she's never undergone treatment for infertility. Skinner: You can't ask the truth of a man who trades in lies. Byers: A modified clipper chip we cannibalized from a government surplus Army field decoder. Frohike: We bought it back from the Chinese. Mulder: You guys ever been to the Lombard Research Facility? (Byers and Langly in unison look at Fro, Fro looks back, B & L look back to Mulder) Well, pick out something black and sexy and prepare to do some funky poaching. TSM: It's funny. I always thought of you as Fox Mulder's patron. You'd think under your aegis that he wouldn't be consigned to a corner in the basement. Skinner: At least he doesn't take an elevator up to get to work... TSM: You think I'm the devil, Mr. Skinner? TSM: (After making deal with Skinner) Oh, Mr. Skinner? Which way is the elevator? Frohike: Smile, Byers. You're on Candid Camera. Langly: External security has been breached. Mulder: (Snaps headset off of Byers) You guys couldn't spring for two of these?
UNREQUITED	Skinner: right now I'm flying by the seat of my pants. Mulder: You mean there's no procedure outlined for an invisible assassin? Mulder: (Seeing the SWAT teams) There goes the neighborhood.
TEMPUS FUGIT	Scully: Oh, please tell me this isn't leading to something really embarassing. Scully: Mulder, you have never remembered my birthday in the four years I've known you. Mulder: That's the way I like to celebrate them, is every four years. It's like dog years that way. Scully: Dog years. Thank you. Mulder: Oh, I got something for you. Scully: Oh, you've got to be kidding me... Mulder: It's just something that reminded me of you. Scully: What? An alien implant? Mulder: Two, actually. I made them into ear rings. Scully: You sure know how to make a girl feel special on her birthday. Mulder: Nine minutes, Scully. Do you remember the last time you remember seeing nine minutes? Mulder: Does your policy cover the acts of extraterrestials? Scully: Are you accusing these men of covering evidence? Mulder: These men? No. These men are trained to identify moving parts: hydrolics, electronics. They're trained to reconstruct those parts in the past to arrive at the present but they can't do that because someone has stolen the past from them. Nine minutes of it. Nine minutes that became a lifetime to those passengers and now for their families. Someone has got to figure out what happened in those nine minutes. Somehow we've got to get that back. Mike: They've got their hands full. Mulder: Yeah, coming up with all that inconclusive evidence. Diverman: Have you worked at this depth before? Mulder: Not exactly. Diverman: What exactly is your experience? Mulder: Once I, uh... I got a quarter off of the deep end of the 'Y' pool...
