(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)
