Memorable Skinner Quotes:
Skinner: You can't ask the truth of a man who trades in lies.

Assistant Director Walter Skinner: Well, not *overly* crazy.
The X-Files: I Want to Believe

Skinner: For every step you take they're three steps ahead.

MULDER: Uh... So what are you up to right now, sir?
SKINNER: I'm taking a bubble bath.
MULDER: Uh, hold on just one second, sir. Hey, Scully, Skinman is calling me from a bubble bath.
SKINNER: It's still me, Mulder.
MULDER: Uh, sir, well, hold on one second, sir.
MULDER: Scully?

Cigarette Smoking Man: [after threatening Skinner, he is shown Albert Hosteen] What is this?
Skinner: This is where you pucker up and kiss my ass!
Paper Clip

Skinner: When I was eighteen, I, uh... I went to Vietnam. I wasn't drafted, Mulder, I... I enlisted in the Marine Corps the day of my eighteenth birthday. I did it on a blind faith. I did it because I believed it was the right thing to do. I don't know, maybe I still do. Three weeks into my tour, a ten-year-old North Vietnamese boy walked into camp covered with grenades and I, uh... I blew his head off from a distance of ten yards. I lost my faith. Not in my country or in myself, but in everything. There was just no point to anything anymore. One night on patrol, we were, uh... caught... and everyone... everyone fell. I mean, everyone. I looked down... at my body... from outside of it. I didn't recognize it at first. I watched the V.C. strip my uniform, take my weapon and I remained... in this thick jungle... peaceful... unafraid... watching my... my dead friends. Watching myself. In the morning, the corpsmen arrived and put me in a bodybag until... I guess they found a pulse. I woke in a Saigon hospital two weeks later. I'm afraid to look any further beyond that experience. You? You are not. Your resignation is unacceptable
