Quotes 

• Scully : [about Gung's mushrooms]  Were you feeding them to the residents here?

  Gung Bituen : Yes, but only in small amounts.

  Mulder : Why?

  Gung Bituen : Because it makes them feel better.

  Mulder : Makes them feel better, or it kills them?

  Gung Bituen : No.

  Dr. John Grago : Exactly what kind of mushrooms are they?

  Gung Bituen : It's from my prefecture in my country. They've been used for centuries.

  Scully : For what purpose?

  Gung Bituen : In my country, our customs are different.

  Mrs. Dawson : You're not in your country now. You're hired here to care for these people under our guidelines.

  Gung Bituen : Where I come from, many generations live under one roof. As children, our grandparents live with us. We feel a duty to take care of them. It isn't like that in this country. We respect our old people as we respect our ancestors. We don't send them away to die like Stan and Hal.

  Dr. John Grago : These people are given excellent medical care.

  Gung Bituen : But they're not treated with respect. Hal's family never came to visit him once and the orderlies... treat the residents worse than dogs.

  Mrs. Dawson : No one is mistreated here.

  Gung Bituen : You're not here to see.
