Caitlyn : …but it also gave him the power to flash freeze people’s inside so they explode. This is what you’re saying.
– “Yes.”
– “I only know what I saw.” Neutral
– “I’m not crazy.”
Caitlyn : I mean, you saw bodies. Innocent people literally torn apart. How are you carrying that?
– “Fine. It’s the job.”
– “It’s worth the end result.” Neutral
– “Not well.”
Caitlyn : How is it with the guy they paired you with? Working out okay, or…?
– “It’s going well.” Neutral
– “Too soon to say.”
– “We’ll see. He’s odd.”
Caitlyn : Could be bad… but it could be an opportunity for someone to step up. Get things in order. Hint, hint.
– “It would be nice.”
– “Whoa, one step at a time.”
– “I don’t want Skinner’s job.” You want to keep working the field.
Special Agent Aaron Fulton
Stacey : I know you don’t want to talk about it. That’s cool. Anything about it you want to talk around?
– “Preventing injustice.” Neutral
– “The killer was a shut in.”
– “No, it’s okay.”
Stacey : There’s a chillwave act playing at my bar tonight. Or, you know what we’ve never done together? Gone bowling.
– “Electronic music it is.”
– “Let’s go bowling.”
– “How about the bedroom?” Neutral
– “Anything but bowling.”
[…] : It certainly isn’t something you ever would’ve considered when you first met him, when he was alone and bleeding to death on the sidewalk.
– Relive your first meeting with Doctor Hill. [19 Diamonds]
– See to his well-being.
Dr. Hill : And you, Aaron? How are you liking the FBI fo far?
– “It’s a challenge.”
– “It feels right.” Neutral
– “Not much.”
Dr. Hill : That’s good to hear. And what do you think of your killer being an orphan, somewhat like you?
– “Not at all like me.”
– “What he became is tragic.”
– “I used that insight.” Neutral
Dr. Hill : With all he’s done for you, what do you think is at the root of your disdain for Gregory Pierce?
– “He wants to mold me.” Neutral
– “He’s not my father.”

– “She’s great.” Neutral
– “She’s competent.”

– “Word’s getting around?”
Special Agent Jess Dexler
Senator Knudsen : Yes, well, I don’t intend to debrief you after every case, it that’s your concern.
– “I’m not concerned.” Neutral
– “What do you want to know?”
– “That’s a relief.”
[…] : My mind reels. The thought of Knudsen and Skinner going head-to-head? It makes me wish I’d been there.
– Play as Skinner. See how it went down [16 Diamonds]
– “What did Skinner say?” Neutral
Senator Knudsen : Say you could be an invaluable asset, like Fox Mulder, you could take Skinners’ place; or you could exercise influence more… covertly.
– “The AD’s to asset.”
– “Assistant director.”
– “Covert influencer.” You want to asset covert political influence.
Senator Knudsen : From this point forth, the Piecer Institute will oversee Walter Skinner. Specifically his work relating to the X-Files unit.

Caitlyn : So if the Pierce Institute’s effectively calling the shorts now… what will you do?
– “Roll with it.”
– “Take advantage.”
– “Watch my own back.” Neutral
Caitlyn : You said your partner’s buddy-buddy with Pierce, right? Keep that camaraderie going, ’cause he’s got juice.”

– “Not a bad idea.”
– “I won’t use him.”
Special Agent Aaron Fulton
Stacey : I know you’re passionate about working for the FBI. But are you actually excited about this X-Fules thing?
– “I am now.”
– “No, but I can wait it out.”
– “I just want away from Pierce.” You’re in the X-Files to get out of under Pierce thumb.
[…] : With Pierce in your corner, you could boss Dexler around if you wanted to. The thought of doing that…
– …sickens you. Neutral
– …is worth keeping in mind.
– …puts you at ease.
Special Agent Jess Dexler
[…] : The caller’s voice is disguised–not digitized like the Magic Bullets voice, but made to sound like a “wacky” cartoon character.
– “What’s this about?”
– “You’re obnoxious.”
– “Lose my number.” Neutral
Caller : I know this because I’m responsible for the founding of this group of turds.
– “Then you’re a murderer.”
– “You’ve got some nerve.” You learned about Hay Guise and the Magic Bullets.
– “Keep talking.”
