The X Files1993

[after correcting Mulder's assumption that he was a circus performer]

Mulder:
I'm sorry. I meant no offense.

Mr. Nutt:
Well, why should I take offense? Just because it's human nature to make assumptions about people purely on the basis of their physical appearances? Why, I've done the same thing to you, for example. I've taken in your all-American features, your dour demeanor, your unimaginative necktie design, and concluded that you work for the government... an FBI agent. But you see the tragedy? I have unconsciously reduced you to a stereotype, instead of regarding you as a specific, unique individual.

Mulder:
But I am an F.B.I. agent.
