(Scully is just starting the autopsy of a dead man, Mulder walks in) Mulder: Hey, Scully. I heard you were down here slicing and dicing, who's the lucky stiff? (Mulder and Scully are standing over the dead body of a young black man whose body has lost all pigment.) Mulder: There is a Michael Jackson joke in here somewhere, but I can't quite find it. Scully: Mulder, not everything is a labyrinth of dark conspiracy, and not everybody is planning to decieve, invegle, and obfuscate. Mulder: Agent Pendrell, thanks for returning this material analysis on such short notice. Agent Pendrell: Shouldn't we wait for agent Scully, just so I won't have to repeat myself? Mulder: She's not coming. Agent Pendrell: Why not? Mulder: She had a date. (Agent Pendrell looks defeated and has his eyes on the ground as he walks into the room) Mulder: Breathe Agent Pendrell, with a dead man. She's doing an autopsy. (Pendrel looks relieved, and perks up) You said you found something? (talking to each other on the phone) Scully: Where are you? Mulder: I'm off to water the seeds of doubt. Bye bye. (Driving in Mulder's car) Scully: Well even if you're right, I mean, especially if you're right. Why would he leave his own country to come here? Mulder: Free cable. (Scully typing her report of the case on her computer, the words are appearing on the screen as the voice-over of Scully's voice reads them.) Scully: ...But what science may never be able to explain is our ineffable fear of the alien among us. A fear which often drives us not to search for understanding-but to decieve, inviegle, and obfuscate. To obscure the truth not only from others, but from ourselves. (Screen fades out)
