    • Quotes

      Fox Mulder: Do you have that sandwich I asked you to bring?

      Dana Scully: It's liverwurst.

      Dana Scully: Mulder, you know that proper surveillance requires two pairs of agents, one pair relieving the other after 12 hours.

      Fox Mulder: Article 30, paragraph 8.7?

      Dana Scully: This isn't about doing it by the book. This is about you not having slept for three days. Mulder, you're gonna get sloppy and you're gonna get hurt. It's inevitable at this point.

      Fox Mulder: A request for other agents to stake out Tooms would be denied. 'Til then, we have no grounds.

      Dana Scully: Well then, I'll stay here. You go home.

      Fox Mulder: They're out to put an end to the X-Files, Scully. I don't know why, but any excuse will do. I don't really care about my record, but you'd be in trouble just sitting in this car. And I'd hate to see you carry an official reprimand in your career file because of me.

      Dana Scully: Fox...

      Fox Mulder: [Rueful laughing] I... I... even made my parents call me Mulder. So... Mulder.

      Dana Scully: Mulder, I wouldn't put myself on the line for anybody but you.

      Fox Mulder: If there's an iced tea in that bag, it could be love.

      Dana Scully: Must be fate, Mulder. Root beer.

    Liverwurst Sandwich Anyone?
    Tooms has the distinction of being the first sequel to a monster-of-the-week (MOTW) episode. It also has the distinction as being the first appearance of Assistant Director Walter Skinner. Also CSM speaks for the first time in this episode. This is a great episode. It's one of the better sequel episodes. It's not as creepy as Squeeze, but excels in a different way. I love the cinematography used to show Tooms point of view. When he sees a potential victim, he/she is dressed in bright blue and the surroundings turn to black and white. Mulder does his best Columbo impression in this episode. He hounds Tooms and doesn't allow him to kill like he wants. The ending was a bit unbelievable, but other than that, Tooms is another solid season one episode.
