2. In his first verbal acknowledgment of the heckler, where did Maleeni suggest he worked?

Answer: McDonald's

He stopped him and said, "Young man, shall I come heckle you on your job? Make sure you count out the requisite number of McNuggets?" Ouch!

His fingerprints were on the soda cup he'd thrown in the garbage. The agents saw it on the home video and traced him from the cup.

When the agents mentioned it, he claimed it had been performance art!

7. To whom did LaBonge compare himself and Maleeni?

Answer: Mozart and Salieri

Mulder had suggested that LaBonge's tricks were no different or better than Maleeni's, and LaBonge replied, "Mozart and Salieri: they sound pretty much thee same to a layman, but they ain't. Know what I'm saying?" The agents left speculating which was supposed to be which.

8. What had LaBonge lifted from the agents?

Answer: badges

They seemed a bit chagrined when he handed them back to them, as they hadn't even noticed they were gone.

13. What did Pinchbeck attribute his injuries to?

Answer: car accident

Pinchbeck was clearly wearing a neck brace, but after Mulder explained his theory that he had faked the performance for his twin brother, Pinchbeck rolled back and showed the wheelchair, saying "It was a very bad car accident in Mexico".
