The X-Files, Season 9
Doggett:
One big question. Why "The Brady Bunch"? Seriously, you two are fans. Why are people still watchin' a 30 year old TV show?
Reyes:
Because... they're the family everyone wishes they had. Loving parents, lots of brothers and sisters, everybody getting along.
Scully:
They're the, uh, perfect family. And since Oliver didn't have one as a child, he ... created one.
Doggett:
Sure, I'd buy all that. But in this case, why "The Brady Bunch"? Why not "The Partridge Family"? Why not "Eight Is Enough"? (to Dr Reits) Where was Oliver when you first saw "The Brady Bunch"? He was with you, right?
Dr Reits:
He'd always insisted we watch it together, every week I was there.
Doggett:
And the longer you two were together, the more his psychokinetic power faded, until finally it went away completely. Now, what do you think that was?
Dr Reits:
(slowly realizes) Because for the first time in his life, he was happy.
Doggett:
Because he was with you.
Scully:
Well, what are you suggesting is the course of action, John?
Doggett:
A - Oliver's gonna die if he continues to use his power. B - his power goes away when he's happy. And C - you're the father he never had, and he loves you. A to B to C.
