"X-Files" - "Patience" Trivia Quiz

Answer: embalming fluid

She woke up before he opened the bedroom door and wondered aloud how the smell of the embalming fluid didn't wake the dead.

Answer: False

Scully actually got there first, and was looking at Mulder's nameplate when Doggett arrived with some friends who were "curious." Scully informed him that she was not there to be a curiosity, but to work.

Answer: assumption

She berated the local detective for making an assumption based on the print found on the porch and throwing out the other pertinent evidence (bite marks). The detective and Doggett both responded with a somewhat dismissive attitude, and Scully clearly felt a bit marginalized.

Answer: imagination

Doggett contended that they might just be dealing with a crazed killer with a deformed foot and asked if Scully knew the principle of Ockham's Razor. In response, she told him what Mulder had thought of the principle.

Answer: flashlight

In the attic, Doggett switched his on and asked, "You ever carry one of these?" Scully replied simply, "Never." Of course that wasn't true; she's used her flashlight many times before. It was hard to tell if she was being sarcastic or just hostile and difficult.

Answer: anticoagulants

Scully said that such enzymes would only be found in the saliva of bats. Then Doggett shared some 40-year-old news articles about a bat-like killer.

Answer: an expert

Doggett pulled the local detective aside to convince him to exhume the body of the second victim's daughter. When Scully asked him what he'd said, he told her that he'd said she was an expert on the paranormal. She contended that she was a scientist, not an expert.

Answer: terminal loneliness

They'd been sitting surveillance for a while and, out of frustration, she conceded that perhaps he wasn't in any real danger. Doggett laughed at the comment and the two talked a bit about Scully not needing to replace Mulder and Doggett not needing to set aside his background in police work.

Answer: Doggett

Ernie was distressed about his brother's welfare, pointing out that the monster hunted at night. Doggett told Scully to stay with Ernie as he went to protect Myron. He got to the water and was looking for the oar when the bat-man attacked him from behind. He fought it off with the oar and was able to get back to help Scully and Ernie.

Answer: False

At the beginning of the episode, Scully had harshly assured Doggett that they were just visitors in Mulder's office. At the end, Scully told him that, though she had never had a desk in there, she would see that he got one. The concession seemed motivated by their shared near-death experience.
