Scully: What is this?! Excuse me. Can somebody please tell me what's going on here?
Agent: We're collecting material.
Scully: For?
Agent: For anything that might be pertinent to the manhunt.
Scully: What manhunt? Manhunt for who?
Agent: You're kidding, right?
Kersh: A.D. Skinner, Agent Scully. Thanks for getting right over. I don't want to lose any time. We have one of our own missing and the only acceptable outcome is that we find him safe and alive. I'm sure the two of you agree.
Scully: Well, you heard Kersh. They don't want the truth. You give them the truth, and they'll hang you with it.
Skinner: They can hang me with a lie, too. I'm not going to sell Mulder out.
Scully: What good are you to Mulder if you give them the power to ruin your career?
(Skinner has no answer.)
Scully: We will find him.
In Mulder's apartment. Scully passes the bedroom door, she notices one of Mulder's blue dress shirts lying on the unmade bed. She picks it up and lies down on the bed, cradling the shirt in her arms.
Scully: What are you doing here?
Doggett: (suggestively) I could ask you the same.
Scully: I came by to feed Mulder's fish.
Doggett: And then you got tired and decided to take a nap.
Skinner: Look, if we knew where that ship was going we've got a chance to find Mulder.
