[last lines]
Fox Mulder : Hey, what's the matter with your friend?
Dr. Blockhead : I don't know what his problem is. Maybe it's the Florida heat.
Dana Scully : Hope it's nothing serious.
The Conundrum : [he speaks for the first time] Probably something I ate.
-
Dana Scully : [talking about her autopsy on Lanny] I've never seen anything like it.
Dr. Blockhead : And you never will again. Twenty-first century genetic engineering will not only eliminate the siamese twins and the alligator-skin people, but you're gonna be hard-pressed to find a slight overbite, or a not-so-high cheekbone. You see, I've seen the future, and the future looks just like him!
[points to Mulder]
Dr. Blockhead : Imagine, going through your whole life looking like that.

[Mulder and Scully enter and see Dr. Blockhead sitting on a bed of nails, untangling dozens of fishing lines attached to dozens of fishing hooks planted in the skin of his chest]
Dana Scully : Mr. Swaim, federal agents, we're here to...
[stops and stares]
Dr. Blockhead : It's a variation of a Native American sun dance ritual. I suspend myself by these hooks, and the pain becomes so unbearable I leave my body. If people knew the true price of spirituality, there'd be more atheists.
-
Dana Scully : Is this man also a body manipulator?
Dr. Blockhead : No, in the classical sense, the Conundrum's a geek.
Fox Mulder : He eats live animals?
Dr. Blockhead : He eats anything. Live animals, dead animals, rocks, lightbulbs, corkscrews, battery cables, cranberries...
-
Dana Scully : Mr. Swaim, we're here to question you about some recent murders.
Dr. Blockhead : I don't answer any questions until I talk to my lawyer.
Fox Mulder : Who's your lawyer?
Dr. Blockhead : I represent myself.
-
Dr. Blockhead : That's why it's up to the self-made freaks like me and The Conundrum to remind people.
Dana Scully : Remind people of what?
Dr. Blockhead : Nature abhors normality. It can't go for long without creating a mutant. Do you know why?
Dana Scully : No, why?
Dr. Blockhead : I don't know either. It's a mystery. Maybe some mysteries are never meant to be solved.

[Mulder falls on a bed of nails]
Dana Scully : Mulder, are you okay?
Fox Mulder : It's more comfortable than a futon.
[the door opens, showing Sheriff Hamilton holding Dr. Blockhead by the hooks in his chest]
Sheriff Hamilton : Hey! Look what I caught.
[tugs on the line]
Dr. Blockhead : Ouch!
