(Mulder) "I don't know, maybe it's an aspect of some Eastern martial art. You know, a specific alteration of the brain's chemistry caused by some specific timbre or cadence in Modell's voice. His voice seems to be the key."
(Scully) "Mulder, Modell's last employment was as a convenience store clerk. He has never been trained by ninjas, he has never even been outside the U.S. He is just a little man who wishes that he were someone big. And we're feeding that wish. That failed psych screening? If Modell could actually control people's minds, right now he'd be an FBI agent, right? He'd be a Green Beret, a Navy SEAL --"

(Scully) "Why?"
(Mulder) "I think it's like you said. He was always such a little man. This was finally something that made him feel big."
(Scully) "I say we don't let him take up another minute of our time."
