(Game starts – Willmore meets Cook at the hall)

Willmore: He’s probably here to make sure we’re not stealing paperclips.



(Willmore meets Skinner and Shanks in Shanks' office)

Willmore: (referring to Mulder and Scully) Have they disappeared like this before?

Skinner: No . . . not like this.



Willmore: What case they working on?

Skinner: I’m not quite sure.

Shanks: (giving Skinner a critic look) These two agents were able to function with a high degree of . . . autonomy due to the nature of the cases they persued.

(Skinner moves uncomfortably in his chair).



(Willmore meets Cook outside Shanks’ office)

Cook: So, okay, what’s happening? You can’t just sit on this, you got to tell me what’s happening!

Willmore: Jesus, if there’s a brass butt in this building, you’re going to kiss it, aren’t you?



(Willmore and Skinner arrive to the Comity Inn)

Willmore: (referring to Mulder and Scully) Did anything seem unusual about the two agents?

Clerk: The guy was kind of spooky, other than that no.



Clerk: (opening Mulder and Scully’s room) I hope there aren’t any dead bodies in here, I got finals coming up next week . . .



(Willmore phones an unknown number, Frohike answers)


Frohike: Hello, who is this?

Willmore: Agent Willmore, FBI. Who are you?

Frohike: I asked you first.

Willmore: Look, I work for the FBI . . .

Frohike: Sure, ok, why didn’t you say so in the first place? (Hangs up).



(Willmore and Skinner at the Dockside Warehouse)

Willmore: (Showing Skinner a Morley Cigarette he found at the scene) What do you think about this?

Skinner: It’s a popular brand.



(Willmore and Amis at the Crime Lab)

Willmore: How’s your wife?

Amis: Ex- you mean? She’s good, she’s taking the kids to her mom’s for Easter. How’s yours?

Willmore: My wife?

Amis: No, your ex-kids. Yeah - your wife!



(Willmore gives the Morley to Amis)

Amis: No thanks, I’m trying to quit.



(Willmore meets Skinner in the Conference Room)

Willmore: Is there any connection to the decline in fishing?

Skinner: I don’t see any obvious connection – poor fishing isn’t a federal offence.



(Cook steps into Willmore’s office)

Cook: I’m sure you’re sucking up to Skinner appropriately?

Willmore: Well, I learned how to suck up from you, remember?



(Willmore arrives to the crime scene)

Willmore: What have you got?

M.E.: Well agent Willmore, barring any unexpected revelations, looks like somebody shot this man at the back of his head.



M.E.: . . . That’s where Oswold hit JFK.

Willmore: I take it you subscribe to the lone gunman theory.

M.E.: No, I think aliens killed JFK.



(Willmore and Astadourian arrive to the Coroner’s office)

Astadourian: God, I hate coming here.

Coroner: You know – so do I.



Coroner: That’s as if his entire endocrine and immune system went haywire.

Astadourian: Is there a name for this?

Coroner: “Bizarre”.



Coroner: Yes, Diana Scully and Wolf Mulder, that’s right.



Coroner: You’re not squeamish, I hope.

Astadourian: God, I hate coming here.



(Willmore arrives to the crime lab and notices Amis is reading a comic book)

Willmore: Your tax dollars at work!



Willmore: Hey, when are you gonna pay me that dollar?

Amis: Did you know I grew up in Cleveland?

Willmore: No. Cleveland? Really?

Amis: Yes. And as a child I’ve always regarded it as hell! Do you have any idea how cold it is in Cleveland?

Willmore: Cold. Very cold. It is Very cold in Cleveland today.

Amis: But not cold enough!



Willmore: You working on anything good?

Amis: Yes, actually, an art theft. Very cool stuff. Mum’s the word.

Willmore: Ahh, so the comic book is research.



Willmore: Did you get those prints lifted?

Amis: (in an old man’s voice) I just fetched’em, miss Daisy, I still need to process them.

Willmore: And they say sugar has no effect on children.



(Willmore and Astadourian meet in Willmore’s apartment)

Astadourian: It’s not a great video, but it still shows the . . . thing.

Willmore: What “thing”?

Astadourian: You’ll see.



(Willmore and Astadourian back at the Coroner’s office.)

Astadourian: (seeing the burned body) God, I hate coming here . . .



(Willmore and Astadourian stand outside a warehouse, after barely escaping an explosion.)

Willmore: I never survived a bomb before.

Astadourian: Happens to me all the time.



(Willmore tries to kiss Astadourian)

Astadourian: Mmm . . . you probably shouldn’t do that. I mean, I would love for you to, don’t get me wrong, but we should probably wait until this case is wraped before we go . . . tempering with the evidence.



Willmore: Who was that guy? He was incredibly strong!

Astadourian: Yeah, I kind of got that impression. You think he works out?

Willmore: There was something weird about his eyes. Did you see that?

Astadourian: No, I was too busy being knocked across the room to catch that little detail.



(Willmore stands in a military hanger, sees Mr. X Approaching)

Willmore: So, it’s the mystery man. I was expecting someone more “Sean Connery”.



Willmore: Stay right there, that’s far enough.

X: This is not a game son.



Willmore: Just say what you need to say and quit playing games.

X: This is anything but a game, Agent Willmore.



X: This has nothing, I repeat, nothing to do with smuggled soviet plotonium.

Willmore: (sarcastically) So what is it? UFOs or secret government experiments?

X: I do admire your cynicism, Agent Willmore. Too bad it’s diluted with such naivete.



(Willmore and Astadourian talk to Scully in a hospital)

Scully: . . . Mulder took that as proof that a UFO had landed in the area, and that an alien life form aboard the craft had irradiated the Tarakan crew.

Astadourian: I take it you don’t subscribe to that theory?

Scully: There’s *always* an alternate explanation.



(Willmore and Astadourian encounter a bum in an abandoned warehouse)

Willmore: Is this your home?

Bum: (singing) Home is where the heart is, near or far away . . .

Astadourian: That was informative.



Willmore: Seen anything strange around here?

Bum: Ahh, just the two of you. And the birds, of course.

Astadourian: He’s a nut.



Willmore: What is this place used for?

Bum: Well, Don, the Boy Scouts conduct covert operations down here.



Willmore: Have you seen man in suits or uniforms running around?

Bum: Oh yeah, all the time.

Willmore: Really?

Bum: Yeah, ask Jane. I’m besieged by sniveling toadies trying to steal my sugar fortune.



(Willmore, Astadourian and Cook speak with the Lone Gunmen over videoconference)

Willmore: How did you get this address?

Langly: We assumed you have the standard-issue bureau-box on your desktop. And all those are equipped with full duplex video conferencing, though nobody ever uses it. So we just looked you up in the “peekabo” yellow pages, which lists the DNS entry and IP address for every peekabo-equipped machine in the country Pretty straightforward, really. Do you want Janet Reno’s number?

Willmore: No, I’ll pass, thanks.

Langly: Are you sure? She keeps her computer in the bedroom!



Willmore: Who are you?

Byers: Friends of Agent Scully.

Frohike: Some of us are *more* than just friends.



Astadourian: Great, suddenly I’m Barbara Bain to your Martin Landau.



(Willmore releases Mulder at the attic in Rauche’s house)

Mulder: Jeez, man. Do I know you?

Willmore: Cable guy. You alright?

Mulder: No.

Willmore: What’s the matter?

Mulder: My foot’s gone to sleep.

Willmore: Hmmm. Agent Willmore, FBI.

Mulder: Funny, I took you for a spook.



Willmore: How did you get here?

Mulder: I was in a rail yard when Rauch kidnapped me and me and stole my car. I always wanted to see the pacific northwest, unfortunately, there’s not much of a view from the trunk!



Willmore: I was given the location of a secret government facility by three guys via videoconference.

Mulder: That sounds like a reliable source.



Mulder: Great, looks like we got some uninvited guests.

Willmore: NSA?

Mulder: Or Jehovah’s witnesses. I need you to keep them busy long enough for me to meet Scully back at the facility, then you get away and meet us there.

Willmore: Hold on, I was assigned to find you and Scully. I’ve done that, I’m outta here!

Mulder: What kind of attitude is that? The game is not over yet! Don’t you want to wait around for the payoff?

Willmore: Okay.
