Okay, in the episode "The Post Modern Prometheus" we are introduced to "The Great Mutato". Near the end where they have him cornered in the basement of the house, I could have swore at one point Izzy said, "That's not a monster. That's my dad." In subsequent airings, than line appears to have been edited out. Does anyone beside me remember that?

No Izzy simply says "Hey...he's no monster".

Actually, I think I remember that line. It didn't make sense to me at the time, and so I listened for it again when the episode was re-aired. But they didn't say it.

Here is an exerpt from the script...

GREAT MUTATO: Suffice to say his experiments failed and … my father is dead. I am alone … and miserable but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. If this being you can create, then I will take blame as a murderer.

POLLIDORI: I don’t know how to re-create you. You were a mistake.

GREAT MUTATO: What we did was wrong, but in our trespasses we gave you a loving son and in your homes I went places I’d never dreamed of. With your books, and your records and home media centers, I learned of the world and of a mother’s love that I’ll never know. Cher loved that boy so much.

IZZY: Hey … he’s no monster.

GREAT MUTATO: Arrest me then, as you will.

See the first time I saw the episode I remember him saying that but in the airings since then, it wasn't there. When Mulder and Scully were driving there, Scully is reading the letter which I thought describes how she got pregnant both times. It was the same.

Thanks for the script clip, but that could be from a earlier draft as well. Do you remember what site you got it from? Or do you have a copy of the script?
