Conversations 101: "X-Files" Pt. 1 Quiz

Answer: 'Colony'

Scully is confused with Mulder in this episode because he's so determined to trust anyone, when usually he's paranoid about trusting anybody. In this scene, Scully is questioning Mulder's uncharacteristically quick confidence in a man they just met and hardly know because he might have information about Samantha.

Answer: 'Oubliette'

This conversation takes place while Mulder is telling Scully how Lucy passed out at work and started mumbling the exact words that a kidnapper was saying to the girl he kidnapped at that exact moment. Tracey Ellis, who wonderfully portrayed the troubled Lucy Householder in this episode, returned 6 years later in a guest starring role as Audrey Pauley in the season 9 episode 'Audrey Pauley'.

Answer: 'Fallen Angel'

This scene takes place at the military holding cell that Mulder is in after getting caught by the military police photographing a UFO crash site. Scully has just arrived in the morning to bail him out when he makes the above remark.

Answer: 'Avatar'

After discovering that Skinner is the prime suspect in the murder of a prostitute, the agents visit the very posh pent house apartment of the woman who is running the escort/prostitute service for which the prostitute worked. The above exchange is followed by a pretty nasty look from Scully at Mulder's remark.

Answer: 'Piper Maru'

Mulder and Scully, as well as a Navy Captain, are in a ship looking at the footage of an underwater camera when Scully impresses both men with her knowledge of war planes. Scully explains this by telling them that her father and brother used to make model airplanes and she remembered the nose on that particular plane.

This episode was named after Gillian Anderson's daughter, Piper Maru.

Answer: 'Detour'

This scene takes place at night in a forest while Scully is trying to start a fire using gunpowder from a bullet to keep them warm. When this fails she tries to keep Mulder warm by hugging him. Later, Mulder tells her to sing to him so he knows she's not asleep and she sings "Joy to the World", very off tune, but sweet nonetheless.

Answer: 'Humbug'

This scene took place near the middle of the episode as Mulder and Scully walk toward their trailers. Mulder's prime suspect in this case, much to Scully's dismay, is something called 'the Fiji Mermaid'. Many of the characters seen in 'Humbug', including Dr. Blockhead, are sideshow workers in real life.

Answer: 'Pilot'

The classic conversation took place at the beginning of the episode when the Agents first met. They are discussing Scully's senior thesis in the above quote. When the X-Files first aired on Sept. 10, 1993, boldly stating that 'The Truth is Out There', "Entertainment Weekly", the entertainment magazine, didn't give it a fighting chance, saying, "We know- this show's a goner" in response to the now famous quote.

A big screen movie and 201 episodes later... who's laughing now?

Answer: 'Little Green Men'

Poor Mulder has lost everything at this point, and in this scene, a very miserable and paranoid Mulder meets a very concerned Scully in the parking garage of the Watergate Hotel. In this scene, Scully basically tells him not to give up, giving him the strength he needs to go to Puerto Rico and hopefully find his faith again.

Answer: 'Gender Bender'

This scene takes place after Mulder walks in on Scully and Brother Andrew about to get a little wild. Brother Andrew was seducing Scully using some type of pheromone before Mulder can grab her and escape. Later, after vomiting and composing herself a little, Scully tries to explain what happened to a curiously upset Mulder.

Answer: 'Field Trip'

This scene takes place at the near beginning of the episode when Mulder briefs Scully about a dead couple found near a mountain said to be a UFO hot spot.

Answer: 'Firewalker'

Mulder finds Trepkos inside the volcano and in this scene they are talking about the deadly spore that has been exposed to his colleagues. The actor who played Trepkos, Bradley Whitford, is married to Jane Kaczmarek, who is best know for her role as Malcolm's mom in Fox's 'Malcolm in the Middle'.

Answer: 'El Mundo Gira'

This scene takes place at the end of the episode as Mulder and Scully explain to Skinner what happened on the case involving two Latin American brothers who became "the Mexican Goatsuckers" or "Los Chupacabras". Ruben Blades (pronounced 'Blah-dehz') is the actor who played the Immigration Officer. Mr. Blades is a big star in the Latin world, known mainly for his music, this native of Panama has written and composed songs for many Latin musicians as well as starred on the big screen with big name players.

Answer: 'Bad Blood'

In this wacky episode about vampires, the Agents tell each other their versions of the same case. Owen Wilson's baby brother, Luke Wilson, played the part of Sheriff Hartwell in this kooky episode, and although the Sheriff seemed to take a liking to red headed Agent Scully, this Texan heart throb says he's more attracted to women with dark hair and more exotic looks rather than red heads or blondes.

Answer: 'How the Ghosts Stole Christmas'

This quote came from the end of the episode when Scully goes to Mulder's house early Christmas morning after a very freaky Christmas Eve that involved the agents killing each other, but not really killing eachother... It was really just a trick played on them by the ghosts of a creepy old mansion (played by Lily Tomlin and Ed Asner) that they had investigated.
