Dana Scully
- Fox Mulder: When Mt. St. Helens erupted, there was a large amount of radiation that was released from inside the earth. Strange things started to grow. There's actually this lake where they've discovered a kind of amoeba that can literally suck a man's brains out.
- Dana Scully: Oh, a brain-sucking amoeba!
- Fox Mulder: They've asked the F.B.I. to investigate. I had to pull a few strings to make sure we got the case.
- Dana Scully: For an ecoterrorism case? Do I dare ask why?
- Fox Mulder: In 1934, long before anyone even knew what an ecoterrorist was, a W.P.A. crew vanished from that same area without a trace. Not one of those men was ever found or heard from again.
- Dana Scully: And you suspect what? Bigfoot?
- Fox Mulder: Not likely. That's a lot of flannel to be choking down, even for Bigfoot.
- Fox Mulder: [after letting Spinney leave with the last of the gasoline, the group is stranded in the cabin] Look, Scully, what would you have done?
- Dana Scully: You mean, would I have made a decision by myself that would have affected the whole group?
- Fox Mulder: Oh, will you cut the sanctimonious crap?
- Dana Scully: Well, what do you want me to say? Let's face it, Mulder, we might die up here! If we're lucky, they'll find our bodies spun up in a tree or they may not find us at all!
- Fox Mulder: You're right. And we're wasting time arguing about it.
- Dana Scully: You think these mites are what killed the men?
- Doug Spinney: Maybe they been lying there dormant for hundreds of years. Maybe they woke up hungry.
- Dana Scully: Well, you were right about one thing.
- Fox Mulder: What's that?
- Dana Scully: It definitely wasn't Bigfoot.
- Dana Scully: What kind of an insect could have gotten a man all the way up into that tree?
- Fox Mulder: [Stands and looks up] Itsy-bitsy spider.
