Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Mulder and Scully enter a large boat/ship and split up. Mulder eventually comes across a yellow deep sea diving suit. He notices a strange residue on the face shield so he wipes some off with his fingers, examines it and then smells it. He doesn't know it then, but the stuff turns out to be the black oil. What episode does this scene take place in?

Answer: Piper Maru

In 'Piper Maru' Mulder is interested in, what he believes to be, the remains of a U.F.O that may have been found in the ocean but is being reported as a Russian submarine. In this scene, he and Scully pay a visit to the ship which carried the wreckage divers who all suffered from radiation burns.
2. During a classic scene from the season one episode, 'Squeeze', Mulder and Scully crouch by a wall covered in goo. Mulder bravely reaches out and rubs his fingers in the goo before Scully has a chance to warn him about what she thinks it is. What bodily secretion does Scully tell him it might be?

Answer: Bile

'Squeeze' was about a monster who hibernated for thirty years, woke up, ate five human livers (by killing the humans) and went back to sleep for thirty years. In this particular scene, Mulder and Scully have discovered the monster's hideout and note that it's made from newpapers, rags and yellow goo, or bile, as it later turns out to be.
As soon as Scully says it might be bile, Mulder says, "Is there any way I can get it off my fingers quickly without betraying my cool exterior?"
3. In the season 6 premier, "The Beginning", Mulder and Agent Fowley crouch beside a small puddle of clear goo. Mulder reaches down and dips his fingers into it and feels its texture while Fowley watches him. Where are Agent Mulder and Agent Fowley when they discover the goo?

Answer: In a nuclear power plant

This scene takes place at 11:42pm while Agent Fowley and Mulder are at the Rolling Hills Nuclear Power Plant which, according to a screen caption, is located 60 miles East of Phoenix. Fowley comments that the goo on Mulder's fingers looks organic and Mulder says that maybe somebody has the flu.
4. Mulder finds himself in a large underground cavern with white walls and slimey water dripping everywhere. At one point he runs his fingers along a slimey white wall then dips his fingers into a small pool of slime and smells it. The owners of the cave arrive unexpectedly and Mulder is forced to take cover in a large crevice. While in the crevice, he discovers a man with long hair covered in, none other than, slime. What episode is this slimey scene from?

Answer: Genderbender

Mulder and Scully are investigating a series of bizarre deaths in this episode that leads them to a colony of Amish people called "the Kindred". In this scene, Mulder has snuck down into the Kindred's secret caverns where he believes they use the slimey water to change the gender of their people and give them new life.
5. In the memorable season three episode, "Oubliette", there's a scene at the end where Mulder reaches out and touches a dead woman's face. He carefully brushes a strand of hair away from her mouth then gently rubs the water streaming out of her mouth with his fingers. What was the woman's name that Mulder felt so much compassion for in this episode?

Answer: Lucy Householder

In this episode Mulder and Scully are searching for a kidnapped girl named Amy Jacobs. Mulder thinks that Lucy Householder can help them find her because she was once abducted by, who Mulder believes is, the same man who kidnapped Amy. Although at first reluctant to help, Lucy eventually gives her life for the young girl and Mulder is sad that Lucy had to die.
6. Mulder chases a bad guy into a meat locker during a scene from the season two episode, "Red Museum". He notices some liquid on the floor and bends down to get a closer look. He also, of course, reaches out, touches the unknown liquid with his bare fingers and proceeds to sniff the substance. At this point Mulder knows what it is and the camera angle shifts to allow the viewers to see what it is. What is the liquid on the floor?

Answer: Gasoline

'Red Museum' was the episode in which teenagers in a small cattle breeding town were being injected with bovine growth hormone as an experiment by the government. The man Mulder is chasing in this scene is the same man who kidnapped Mulder and shot Deepthroat in the season one finale, 'The Erlenmayer Flask'.

The gasoline on the floor is never ignited because the town Sheriff shoots the man before the man has a chance to light it.
7. During a scene from a season six episode, while searching the home of the Shipley family, Mulder sees clear goo on a drainpipe behind a washing machine and automatically reaches out and touches it. The goo gets stuck on his fingers and he panics, moving away from the pipe. As Scully comes in, Mulder is unsuccessfully trying to get the goo off of his hand when the lid to the washing machine starts bobbing up and down. What do Mulder and Scully find when they look inside the washing machine?

Answer: A small wet cat

This scene was from the season six episode, 'Agua Mala'. In this scene, Mulder and Scully go down to Florida during a hurricane to look for the missing neighbours of Arthur Dales. Once the cat jumps out of the washing machine Scully asks, "How the hell did the cat get in the washing machine?" To which Mulder responds, "Maybe he was taking a dip-- after he finished boarding up the windows." While in Florida, Mulder and Scully must not only survive the storm, but also a water creature that is attacking people through the drain pipes and fixtures.
8. During a scene from the season one episode, 'Eve', Cindy and Tina try to poison Scully and Mulder by putting poison in their soft drinks at a freeway side diner. Mulder forgets his car keys in the diner and has to return to grab them when he sees traces of the poison on the table. He, of course, proceeds to touch it with his finger and put it in his mouth! Luckily, Mulder is able to warn Scully of the poisoned drinks but not without alerting the girls, who escape. What specific type of poison did the girls use in the drinks that Mulder bravely touched and tasted?

Answer: Foxglove

The girls used foxglove, also known as digitalis, from their own home grown stash in this episode about a government cloning project gone terribly awry. The 'Eve' clones were incredibly smart but prone to homicidal tendencies. In the scene above, the girls were pretending to be sweet and kind all the while plotting Mulder and Scully's deaths in order to escape.
9. In the season six episode, 'The Unnatural', Mulder wrestles with Scully for her special ice cream cone. He manages to get a bite before the cone breaks and the ice cream splatters onto an old newspaper he'd been reading. Mulder notices an old picture of Arthur Dales and, as always, uses his bare hands to wipe away the goopy ice cream from the page. What was the exact name of the ice cream Scully brought that ended up all over Mulder's hand?

Answer: Non-fat Tofutti Rice Dreamsicle

Scully arrives with the ice cream cone and complains to Mulder that it's a beautiful day outside and they're in the basement reading old newspapers. Mulder notices her ice cream and says "Did you bring enough ice cream to share with the rest of the class?" Scully corrects him by telling him that it's not ice cream, that it's a nonfat tofutti rice dreamsicle. Mulder makes a face and says, "Ugh. I bet the air in my mouth tastes better than that. You sure know how to live it up, Scully."
10. In the season one episode, 'Darkness Falls', Mulder and Scully take a trip to the forest to invesitgate the disappearance of a group of loggers. Unforseen events have them trapped in a cabin with the only thing saving them from killer green mites is a single light bulb that prevents the mites from swarming. During a scene in the beginning of this episode, Mulder runs his finger along the top of a fridge noticing a strange green residue on everything. Mulder later realizes that the residue is actually the mites. What texture does Mulder say the residue has?

Answer: Greasy

Scully: "Can you see them? Mulder, get them off me!"
Mulder: "They're not just on you. They're everywhere. I think that's what that greasy residue is over everything."
Scully: "I thought we were supposed to be safe in the light!"
Mulder: "We are. I think the light keeps them from swarming. We'll be safe as long as we stay in the light." The killer green mites in this episode were dormant until the loggers cut down the trees they lived in. The mites were capable of making humans into cocoons and the agents barely escaped with their lives. 'Darkness Falls' originally aired on April 15, 1994.
