- Fox Mulder: Any ideas what caused the coma?
- Dana Scully: Errr, there's no sign of head trauma, no narcotic traces or electralight abnormalities, but her white blood cell count was skyhigh.
- Fox Mulder: By any chance was there attendant reduction in the lymphocyte population or a release of gluco-cordacoids?
- Dana Scully: Uhmm, actually both, how did you know that?
- Fox Mulder: They're symptoms of prolonged weightlessness. Shuttle astronauts have reported similar imbalances.

- Darlene Morris: Important to who? I have my daughter back, I don't want any more trouble. Besides she can hardly remember anything.
- Fox Mulder: But she will remember one day, one way or another, even if it's only in dreams. And when she does, she's gonna wanna talk about it, she's gonna need to talk about it.
- Darlene Morris: Like I did? Listen to me, all of my life I have been ridiculed, for speaking my mind.

- Leza Atsumi: On the contrary, there was nothing random about it.
- Dana Scully: I don't understand.
- Leza Atsumi: All information can be rendered digitally, in a series of ones and zeroes. When we downloaded the data, we found an amazing range of... Well see for yourself. Da Vinci's "Universal Man". A DNA double helix. Oh, there's lots more.
