All the Times Agent Dana Scully From 'The X-Files' Was the Sassy Skeptic of Our Dreams

Moviefone
January 20, 2016 - 1 min read

On "The X-Files," Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) is many things: a medical doctor, an FBI agent, and, most importantly, a lady who can lay on the snark when Agent Mulder just won't shut up about UFOs and aliens. These are our 13 favorite sassy Scully moments. 

When she had the perfect response to affection

When she asked the right questions

When she only needed a look

When she was queen of the one word answer

When she shut Mulder down

When all she could do was face plant

When she was in no mood for UFOs

When even her breathing got sassy

When she was the only sane person within a 10-mile radius

When she knew she was hot stuff

When her brain came close to an explosion of snark

When she wasn't about BS

When she couldn't be anything but honest
