unfortunately i won't be here next week. you'll have to enjoy jump the shark without me. ✌️ #XFilesLive

"I have to say, it's clear to me now that you were better equipped for this challenge than even Agent Mulder would have been. Absolutely. I mean your lack of imagination saved our lives." // "Gee, thanks." #XFilesLive

"Water. You filled it with water." // "That's not what Tommy believed." #XFilesLIve

"You won't do it. You're lying. You'd get burned, too. You're just trying to scare me." // "Scared yet?" #XFilesLive

#XFilesLive

"If this is your son, make him stop!" // "I can't. You don't think I've tried? I can't stop him from... imagining things." #XFilesLive

"We have to get up there. I mean, there must be a way." #XFilesLive

"This one's you." // "Why would you draw this, Tommy? Why would you imagine such awful things?" // "Because I'm afraid." #XFilesLive

"They hurt you, they certainly hurt your wife. Why didn't they hurt Tommy?" #XFilesLive

"Nothing here makes any sense. Unless that's the very thing that we need to see." #XFilesLive

it's funny that he brings up "field trip" because that was my first thought when i watched this episode for the first time. #XFilesLive

"It seems to me that the cat was trying to get at something in its stomach to chew something out. ... maybe it goes the same for the woman who tried to stab herself. I mean, what if that was a frantic attempt to... to cut something out." #XFilesLive

"'Mulder's so smart. Mulder's so dreamy.' That's all Leyla ever talks about. Mulder and Scully, Scully and Mulder, blah, blah, blah." #XFilesLive

Oh, that's not... #XFilesLive

"I know what you're thinking. Black magic. Mirrors are powerful symbols in conjuring in the dark arts. That's what this is. Right?" // "Uh-huh." #XFilesLive

"You got to be freaking kidding me. I can't believe you're cutting up a dead cat on your kitchen table." #XFilesLive

"Tommy, tell John what you told me about what we saw in your room tonight." // "Those are the monsters that hurt my mommy. But my dad says I'm not supposed to talk about it." #XFilesLive

Are you seeing what I'm seeing? #XFilesLive

"What would Agents Mulder and Scully do if they were in this situation?" // "Agents Mulder and Scully aren't in this situation. Agents Doggett and Reyes are. I don't know about Agent Reyes but Agent Doggett's going to sit his tired ass down." #XFilesLive

"I am going to be exceptionally polite. Leave. Now. Leave now and take that with you." #XFilesLive

"What the hell?" #XFilesLive

"Do you remember what you said to your Grandmom? Something about your mother. Do you remember?" // "Monsters. You said there were monsters, right?" // "No such thing as monsters." #XFilesLive

"Both of you got in this car believing a little boy may be in danger. What's changed since then? Even if this isn't an X File, what will it hurt to keep going?... If Agent Mulder were here, he'd keep going." #XFilesLive

David and Gillian's eating habits making their way into their characters. #XFilesLive

"What makes you think this is an X File?" // "Tommy told [his grandma] a monster killed his mother. And his father knows all about it." #XFilesLive
