"X-Files" - "Schizogeny" Trivia Quiz

Answer: shovel

When Phil got home to find the shovel outside, he was furious and stormed upstairs, telling Bobby to go outside and "finish the job." Angry, Bobby threatened Phil with the shovel, yelling at him to get away. Then Bobby dropped the shovel and ran into the woods. Phil followed him and tripped on a root.

As Bobby watched and tried to help him, Phil slowly slid into the soft mud until he was completely covered!

Answer: vertical

When Scully shared her conclusion that Phil had died when Bobby held his head under the mud for too long, Mulder reminded her that the body had been found in a "standing vertical position" and the coroner had been forced to use a "backhoe to remove the body." Mulder clearly thought that it would have been difficult for such a scrawny boy to so thoroughly embed a grown man's body in the soil without some help.

Answer: John F. Kennedy

Bobby had an "Ich bin ein auslander" poster on his wall, and Mulder commented on it, probably trying to loosen Bobby up by making idle conversation: "Ich bin ein auslander." "I am an outsider." You know, when Kennedy told the Germans "Ich bin ein Berliner" he was actually saying "I am a cocktail sausage." Bobby's disaffected reply: "Who's Kennedy?"

Answer: hazelnut

Bobby's mother told Scully that the hazelnut orchard had been hit with a blight and all the trees were dying. Because of that, Phil was generally stressed out, and Bobby's petulance didn't help his disposition.

Answer: eating disorder

Lisa probably didn't suffer from an eating disorder at all! This was probably something that Karin had been plagued by in her youth and had projected onto Lisa.

Answer: false

Mulder was the one who climbed the tree, with some help from a rope hanging down the trunk. From up in the branches, he called down to Scully, "Hey, Scully, is this demonstration of boyish agility turning you on at all?" Before she had any opportunity to respond, Scully's attention was grabbed by the old orchard man, who'd come up behind her carrying his axe.

Answer: roots

The agents later found the body in Karin's cellar with roots woven around the bones. Mulder's theory was that the root system had pulled Karin's father from his grave and back to her house.

Answer: Karin

Karin spoke in the voice of her father, threatening Lisa and telling her to be quiet. When Karin finally opened the door to the cellar, though, Lisa realized that her trusted doctor was the one holding her prisoner!

Answer: tree branch

He ducked as he saw the tree start to fall. Good thing, too, since a branch went straight through the windshield into his seat. If he'd been normally positioned, it would have impaled him, probably fatally!

Answer: orchard man

Mulder and Bobby were trapped in the mud and Mulder was trying to convince Karin to stand up to her father and eradicate his personality. Finally, Karin said (in her father's voice) "Karin's dead." Just as Mulder and Bobby were about to be sucked under the mud, the old orchard man swung his axe and chopped off Karin's head, saying "It's done now. No more."
