John Billingsley: Prof. Miles Ballard

Quotes 

• Prof. Miles Ballard : So, it looks like it's just us guys tonight, huh?

  Elmer Greentree : It is just the men here, isn't it?

  Albert McGonagle : Well, I say we take a rain check on interpreting apocolyptic visions and call up some strippers.

  Prof. Miles Ballard : Oh, ah, hey guys - there's a web chat with X-Files shippers tonight; they're gonna discuss whether Mulder and Scully should get married. Huh - you guys wanna log into that?

  Warren Day : I'm with Albert.

• Prof. Miles Ballard : It's just a case of tampering, guys - some sick bastard put maggots in the pop corn bag, they incubated in the microwave.

  Albert McGonagle : Humph.

  [Albert huffs, dismissing it] 

  Prof. Miles Ballard : Well, it's a better explination than demons who lie in wait unable to cross sea salt.

  Elmer Greentree : I'm surprised at you, Miles - you're always so anxious to believe.

  Prof. Miles Ballard : Well, I'm to afraid to believe this... so I can't.
