- Judy Bishop: As hard as it is for a mother to admit, Michelle is a disturbed child. Oh, I know this sounds terrible to say, but the truth is that sometimes she frightens me.
- Scully: Frightens you how?
- Judy Bishop: She's not like other girls, Agent Scully.
- Scully: Tell me.
- Judy Bishop: She just isn't. She doesn't have any friends. She hardly ever smiles. It breaks my heart that I can't comfort her. She says she sees things that I can't see. She hears people yelling in her head.
- Mulder: Check for burns or lesions on Barbala's body.
- Scully: Why?
- Mulder: Psychokinesis is usually associated with an electrical charge.
- Scully: Are you saying Michelle possesses the ability to psychically project her own will?
- Mulder: How else could a 60-pound kid throw a 200-pound detective out the window?
- Mulder: Have you observed any unexplained phenomena in Michelle's presence?
- Dr. Sheila Braun: Unexplained phenomena?
- Mulder: Inordinate physical strength, psychic ability, telekinesis...
- Dr. Sheila Braun: You're joking, of course.
- [Mulder shakes his head. She looks at her watch]
- Dr. Sheila Braun: I have a patient waiting, Agent Mulder. If you'll excuse me.
