RICHTER: “We’re not who we are. We’re not… who we are. It goes no further than this. It stops… right here… right now.”
MURPHY: “Well, two federal agents, a geologist, a medical doctor and a toxicologist. That should give us some idea what they’re thinking.”
DASILVA: “Come on, you’re F.B.I. You have to know more than we do.”
BEAR: “Credentials. The only credentials that I have is that I’m the only pilot willing to fly you up there. You don’t like those credentials… walk.”
MULDER: “That’s what they were drilling for. Quarter of a million years melting away in a couple of days.”
MURPHY: “I found a high ratio of ammonia to water in the ice core. The earth’s atmosphere could never have produced such high levels, not even a quarter of a million years ago.”
MULDER: “Unless a foreign object was introduced into that environment.”
SCULLY: “What if that single-celled organism is the larval stage of a larger animal?”
DASILVA: “Come on, nothing can survive in sub-zero temperatures for a quarter of a million years.”
MULDER: “Unless that’s how it lives.”
MULDER: “If those bodies are infected with an unknown organism, we can’t take them back. We can’t go back without proper quarantine procedures. We can’t risk bringing back the next plague.”
HODGE: “Alright, parasitic diagnostic procedure requires that each of us provide a blood and a stool sample.”
MULDER: “Okay, anyone got the morning sports section handy?”
BEAR: “I ain’t dropping my cargo for no one.”
MULDER: “We were told we would have three clear days of weather, over.”
RADIO: “Welcome to the top of the world, Agent Mulder. Over.”
HODGE: “Hypothalamus releases acetlycholine, which produces violent, aggressive behavior. That might be a connection. Everybody that’s been infected certainly seems to act aggressively. Maybe the worm feeds on the acetlycholine which floods our capacity to control violent behavior.”
MULDER: “I don’t know if we should kill it. This area of the ice sheet was formed over a meteor crater. The worm lived in ammonia. It survived sub-zero temperatures. Theorists in alternative life-designs believe in ammonia-supported life systems on planets with freezing temperatures.”
HODGE: “They’re probably discussing their little government secrets.”
SCULLY: “Come take a look at this. The larvae from two different worms killed each other. An individual worm will not tolerate another invading it’s host. It does to the invader what it did to humans. It makes them kill.”
MULDER: “It’s still there, Scully. 200,000 years down in the ice.”
SCULLY: “Leave it there.”
