The X Files1993

Scully:
I dug up a few things on a Robert Patrick Modell.

Mulder:
Let me guess: he was an average student, he went to an average community college, and he did an average stint in the military.

Scully:
Which branch of service?

Mulder:
Not his first choice. He wanted to be a Navy SEAL, and then he wanted to be an Army Special Forces Green Beret, was promptly washed out of both, though not for lack of intelligence. Ended up becoming a supply clerk at Fort Bragg. Served two years, general discharge.

Scully:
Did you know that he applied to the FBI?

[Mulder's expression makes clear that he didn't]

Scully:
He didn't even come close to passing the psych screenings.

Mulder:
You got a copy of that?

Scully:
Yeah. They found him to be "acutely ego-centered." He has no regard for the feelings of others and insists on perceiving people as objects. He is extremely suspicious of governments and authority...

Mulder:
Yet he wants to be *in* authority.

Scully:
The screener caught him in a dozen self-aggrandizing lies, saying he was a master of martial arts, that he had been trained by Gurkhas in Nepal and ninjas in Japan...

Mulder:
Well, ninjas are said to be able to cloud the minds of their opponents.

Scully:
Are we talking kung fu movies, Mulder?
