8-06healthy.wav
SCULLY: Okay. Well, what we've got here is a healthy seven-year-old boy who was born 17 years ago.
DOGGETT: And a healthy boy who won't speak.

8-06miracle.wav
SCULLY: I'm Agent Scully, and this is Agent Doggett. We are, uh, investigating this case.
LISA UNDERWOOD: It's a miracle, isn't it?
SCULLY: Mrs. Underwood...whatever your son has been through, it has somehow affected his physical condition.
LISA UNDERWOOD: So we've been told by every doctor here. We just want to take him home. After ten years, can we do that?
DOGGETT: Not yet. I want to talk to him first.

8-06game.wav
SCULLY: You think this is a game?
DOGGETT: A serious game; one we have to win.

8-06can_talk.wav
SCULLY: I told you... he's not sick.
DOGGETT: Good. Then he can talk.

8-06sleep.wav
SCULLY: You going to sleep here, too?

8-06punch_line.wav
DOGGETT: Now how can that be possible?
SCULLY: It's medically impossible.
DOGGETT: So, what's the punch line? Where are you saying he's been?
SCULLY: There are … X-File cases that describe similar paranormal findings. Alien abductees who came back with anomalous medical stats.
DOGGETT: You know, these words: "Anomalous," "supernatural," "paranormal..." They purport to explain something by not explaining it. It's lazy.
SCULLY: I'm not saying that I can explain it, Agent Doggett, but this is definitely not normal.

8-06lazy.wav
DOGGETT: You know, these words: "Anomalous," "supernatural," "paranormal..." They purport to explain something by not explaining it. It's lazy.

8-06breaking_the_law.wav
SCULLY: What's your interest in this guy?
DOGGETT: He's a high school dropout, convicted of possession, arson, and shoplifting since 1990.
SCULLY: These are juvenile records. These are sealed by the court, Agent Doggett. We're not supposed to have these.
DOGGETT: And we're at a standstill here.
SCULLY: Yeah, and you're breaking the law.
DOGGETT: Look, I want to catch this guy, Agent Scully, whatever it takes.

8-06trip.wav
RONNIE PURNELL: You're a trip, man. You know that?

8-06possessed.wav
SCULLY: This is not a normal child, Agent Doggett, and this is not a normal act.
DOGGETT: You make it sound like he's possessed. Call the exorcist. He's a kid-- a kid who's been through who knows what kind of hell. Give him a chance. How do you know he's not trying to communicate something?
SCULLY: And what's the message?

8-06strange.wav
SCULLY: He's a kid who materialized out of thin air, unaged. Do you not somehow recognize how strange this is?

8-06psychic.wav
SHARON PEARL: Is this going to happen?
DOGGETT: Shouldn't you be telling us that?
SHARON PEARL: You're no doubt confused, Agent Doggett. I take psychic readings not see through walls.

8-06forces.wav
SHARON PEARL: There are very powerful forces at work here. Working through this boy. Drawing him to his brother. I feel this force... I feel this force… coming through you. You lost someone just like Billy.

8-06an_act.wav
DOGGETT: I'd be more curious if I believed it.
SCULLY: Believed what?
DOGGETT: The act.
SCULLY: You think that was an act?
DOGGETT: It's pretty standard fare, isn't it? Float a few choice revelations, as if they came from on high, roll around on the floor.
SCULLY: You saw that symbol appear on her forehead.
DOGGETT: It's a damn good trick. Don't ask me how she does it.

8-06ten.wav
SCULLY: Count to ten, Agent Doggett.

8-06kid.wav
DOGGETT: He took Billy.
SCULLY: He couldn't have.
DOGGETT: How are you going to back that up with Billy now missing from his home?
SCULLY: By the certain knowledge that not five minutes earlier, I saw him enter his home with his mother.
DOGGETT: I saw him! I saw Billy riding in the car with Ronnie. Why else would Ronnie take off like he did?
SCULLY: It's impossible, Agent Doggett, like everything else about this case. Like how Billy can be in his home one minute and then in Ronnie's car the next. Everything about this case is impossible.
DOGGETT: This kid is the key, Agent Scully. I've been saying that from the beginning and I'll say it now.

8-06sure.wav
DOGGETT: I've got to talk to this kid, Agent Scully. I'm absolutely sure.

8-06cant_believe.wav
DOGGETT: I don't believe it.
SCULLY: Okay, the clothes, the age and condition of the bones, the location of the grave. There is no doubt that that is Billy Underwood's skeleton that is in that grave.
DOGGETT: We spent time with this boy. Doctors took Billy's blood. You examined him yourself. Now, I can't accept it. I can't believe we're asking them to.
SCULLY: I know, but the forensic evidence is going to come out, and what then? What if I'm right?
DOGGETT: Well, what then, Agent Scully? What we do? We move on, let it go, case closed?
SCULLY: Look, I know where you are with this. I have been there. I know what you're feeling-- that you've failed and that you have to explain this somehow. And maybe you can.
DOGGETT: Not if that's Billy's body, I can't.
SCULLY: But maybe that's explanation enough. That that's not Billy's brother lying in that grave, too. That that man who did this is never going to be able to do it again. Isn't that what you wanted, Agent Doggett?
DOGGETT: Agent Scully, don't ask me to believe that this is some kind of justice from beyond the grave.
SCULLY: All I'm saying is that maybe you succeeded... whether you're willing to see that or not.

8-06succeeded.wav
DOGGETT: Agent Scully, don't ask me to believe that this is some kind of justice from beyond the grave.
SCULLY: All I'm saying is that maybe you succeeded... whether you're willing to see that or not.
