Scene 03
FBI Headquarters · The X-Files Office
Fox Mulder
Arkie Seavers, age 20. Currently a resident of the county jail.
Dana Scully
What does the other guy look like?
Fox Mulder
Funny you should ask. Arkie there wasn't in a fight. Car crash, head-on collision into a tree. Drunk as a skunk.
Dana Scully
He's lucky to be alive.
Fox Mulder
You have no Idea.
Dana Scully
Not wearing a seat belt, I suspect.
Fox Mulder
To hear Arkie tell it, he didn't have time to fasten his seat belt... Because he was busy running from the boy he says caused the accident.
Dana Scully
And who was that?
Fox Mulder
You're looking at him. No. Not me.
Dana Scully
What, he blames himself?
Fox Mulder
In a manner of speaking.
Dana Scully
I don't get it, Mulder.
Fox Mulder
Arkie, our hapless road warrior... is driving by his lonesome down the highway to hell... when he sees another Arkie, across from him, who grabs the wheel and crashes the vehicle.
Dana Scully
Well, you did say he was drunk.
Fox Mulder
I know what you're gonna say about seeing double... and the bromides about not giving the kids the car keys.
Dana Scully
Twenty is hardly a kid.
Fox Mulder
Circumstances bear a curious similarity to stories told by other good folk... who didn't share Arkie Seavers' luck. Who also reported seeing their doubles before dying.
Dana Scully
And how did these people die?
Fox Mulder
Each by their own hand.
Dana Scully
After seeing their doubles?
Fox Mulder
According to all reports out of Henrico County, Virginia.
Dana Scully
Reports issued by whom?
Fox Mulder
Friends, relatives. A doctor.
Dana Scully
And the medical diagnosis Is...?
Fox Mulder
A rare form of schizophrenia.
Dana Scully
Heh. Right, so rare I've never heard of it.
Fox Mulder
Correct me if I'm wrong, Scully, and I know you will... but schizophrenics hear voices and report hallucinations similar to Arkie’s.
Dana Scully
Hallucinations, yes... not grabbing the wheel of a car and ramming it into a tree.
Fox Mulder
Well, they didn't all die from car crashes into trees. Seven died from hanging, four jumped off a tall bridge, three--
Dana Scully
This is a mass phenomenon.
Fox Mulder
Precisely my thinking, Scully... which is why you and I are gonna jump on I-95 south... and get back to our bread and butter.
Scene 04
County Jail · Conference Room
Arkie Seavers
These the FBI agents?
Dean Cavalier
Agents Scully and Mulder.
Arkie Seavers
And you filled them in?
Dean Cavalier
Mm-hm.
Fox Mulder
We know the facts, Arkie. We'd like to hear the details.
Arkie Seavers
Okay, I-- I looked over, and he grabbed the wheel... and he floored the gas.
Fox Mulder
And by "he," you mean...?
Arkie Seavers
I mean, the dude looked just like me.
Fox Mulder
And you'd seen him before.
Arkie Seavers
Yes. Like, four times. He'd been following me for like a week.
Fox Mulder
Had he ever said anything?
Arkie Seavers
No, I'd see him in a crowd or a window. I thought I was tripping or something.
Dana Scully
And do you take drugs, Arkie?
Arkie Seavers
No, I'm-- Eh. Yeah, maybe once or twice, I mean....
Fox Mulder
And you're in jail because...?
Dean Cavalier
Arkie admittedly has a problem. A few previous DUI offenses.
Fox Mulder
Exactly how many is a few?
Arkie Seavers
I don't know, like...
Dean Cavalier
Six.
Fox Mulder
So the judge is gonna throw the book at you. But that's not what we're interested In. We want to know how you came to be the lone survivor.
Arkie Seavers
Why I'm not dead like all the other people, right?
Fox Mulder
What do you chalk that up to?
Arkie Seavers
I can tell you. And it's the same reason I can prove I'm not lying.
Dana Scully
You can prove it?
Scene 05
The Highway · Skid Marks
Fox Mulder
You gotta admit, Scully, the kid's story makes a lot of sense. Arkie's double takes control of the wheel. Then Arkie pumps the brakes with his left foot... producing the skid marks that start up yonder.
Dana Scully
Or there's another explanation, of course... which is that Arkie, in his perpetual state of inebriation... falls asleep at the wheel, waking up to find he's going off the highway... and applying the brakes there.
Fox Mulder
But if he was asleep... he wouldn't have been traveling at such a dangerous rate of speed.
Dana Scully
You're saying you believe him.
Fox Mulder
No. I'm just saying that I think the kid's too stupid to make it up.
Scene 06
Mental Hospital · Dr. Russell
Dr. Russell
Yes, I treated several of the victims manifesting the symptoms. Their episodes suggest a pattern of shared hallucination. A distinct narrative.
Fox Mulder
They all saw their doubles. Doppelgangers.
Dana Scully
None of them had psychiatric problems before?
Dr. Russell
They never received treatment.
Dana Scully
So there were issues?
Dr. Russell
No, but they were arguably not upstanding citizens.
Dana Scully
They had trouble with the law.
Dr. Russell
Not necessarily connoting they were mentally ill.
Dana Scully
Dr. Russell, your diagnosis is of a nonconforming type of schizophrenia.
Dr. Russell
That was my clinical opinion.
Dana Scully
So they were mentally ill?
Dr. Russell
They became mentally ill. It was almost like a kind of outbreak.
Fox Mulder
So would you say like a mass hysteria?
Dr. Russell
I've never heard of a suicidal mass hysteria.
Dana Scully
A phenomenon known as suicide clusters or suicide contagion... Have been known to affect whole communities or social groups. Are you treating patients with those symptoms?
Dr. Russell
Nothing matching that particular pattern. Why?
Fox Mulder
This patient, what's her specific psychiatric diagnosis?
Dr. Russell
Mm. More a normative schizophrenic.
Fox Mulder
Could we possibly talk to her?
Dr. Russell
I'd strongly advise against that.
Dana Scully
Why would you say that?
Dr. Russell
Because she exhibits split personality... with wild swings in affect, from benign to violent. Unless you've got some good reason, I'd steer clear.
Fox Mulder
I'd like to take a look at her drawings.
Scene 07
Mental Hospital · Little Judy's Room
Dr. Russell
Judy? You have visitors.
Judy Poundstone
Oh. You should've warned me. I look awful. I look a fright.
Dr. Russell
No one's judging you, Judy.
Judy Poundstone
Not without my coiffure.
Fox Mulder
You look fine to me.
Judy Poundstone
No, I don't. I don't, not for such a handsome man as yourself.
Fox Mulder
My name is Fox, and this is Dana.
Judy Poundstone
You can call me Little Judy. That's what my fans call me.
Dana Scully
Are you an actress, Judy?
Judy Poundstone
I'm a very famous actress.
Dr. Russell
They want to see your drawing. Would you like to show them?
Judy Poundstone
Oh, it's nothing. It's just hangman.
Fox Mulder
You play a lot of hangman.
Judy Poundstone
I play with my brother.
Dana Scully
Does he visit?
Judy Poundstone
My brother's an insufferable jerk. We play telepathically.
Fox Mulder
"Arkie." You know a... An Arkie Seavers?
Dana Scully
You know, he-- He had an accident recently.
Judy Poundstone
I don't know an Arkie Seavers.
Dana Scully
This is just a coincidence?
Judy Poundstone
I don't know an Arkie Seavers. But she might.
Scene 08
County Jail · Cell Block
Arkie Seavers
Hey, listen, man, where are they taking me?
Guard
Don't know, transfer.
Arkie Seavers
I gotta talk to my lawyer first or something.
Guard
Sorry. Can't help you.
Arkie Seavers
Please, I mean-- Ah! Okay, okay. Transfer where?
Guard
Like I said, can't help you.
[DOOR BUZZES]
[GASPING]
Arkie Seavers
Hey, help, help! He's here! Please, somebody help me! Please, please, help me!
Scene 09
The Motel · Front Desk
[RINGS DOORBELL]
Receptionist
Coming.
Dana Scully
Hi, we'd like a couple rooms.
Receptionist
Do you have reservations?
Dana Scully
No. Uh.... Do you have any rooms?
Receptionist
I've had a cancellation. It's just a suite.
Fox Mulder
We'll take it.
Receptionist
There's a pullout sofa.
Fox Mulder
Okay. Just trying to get some shut-eye.
Dana Scully
I'm glad to hear It.
[SIGHS]
Dana Scully
Mulder.
Scene 10
The Motel · Suite
Dana Scully
What are you doing?
Fox Mulder
That bed nice and comfy?
Dana Scully
Mulder, go back to sleep.
Fox Mulder
I wish that I could, Scully. They just found Arkie Seavers dead in his jail cell.
Scene 11
County Jail · Arkie's Cell
Dean Cavalier
Somebody want to explain this to me?
Fox Mulder
Who found him there?
Guard
One of the trustees. That guy. This happens all the time, don't know what to tell you. Looks like a suicide.
Dean Cavalier
He was strangled to death.
Fox Mulder
Not necessarily, Mr. Cavalier.
Dean Cavalier
He's wearing handcuffs.
Fox Mulder
It looks impossible, and it's highly improbable... but there is ample case history that it can be done.
Dana Scully
The victim simply spins the belt around and unbuckles it, fastens it to the bars... Loops it around his neck, and uses his body as leverage.
Dean Cavalier
No, Arkie didn't want to die.
Fox Mulder
I agree with you.
Dean Cavalier
This is an outrage. Now, who is gonna stop this carnage?
Dana Scully
We're working on it.
Dean Cavalier
Well, someone's gotta pay. Arkie did not wanna die.
[DOOR BUZZES]
Dana Scully
I know what you're thinking.
Fox Mulder
Anyone up for a game of hangman?
Dana Scully
It's just a coincidence. Judy said that she didn't even know Arkie Seavers.
Fox Mulder
Not necessarily, Scully.
Dana Scully
She said she didn't know him. She said that she might. She also said she was playing telepathically with her brother.
Fox Mulder
Our suspect number two.
Scene 12
Chucky's House · Outside
Chucky Poundstone
God's sakes. My one damn day off.
Fox Mulder
Chucky Poundstone?
Chucky Poundstone
Speaking to whom?
Fox Mulder
Fox Mulder, I'm with the FBI.
Chucky Poundstone
Oh, yeah. With that tasty little redhead. You tapping that special agent or can Chucky bust a move?
Fox Mulder
You're that trustee. You found the kid hanged in his jail cell.
Chucky Poundstone
Yeah, I discovered the moron. Kid had “loser” written all over him.
Fox Mulder
Can I ask you a few questions?
Chucky Poundstone
Why? Am I under suspicion?
Fox Mulder
Just a few moments of your time.
Chucky Poundstone
Yeah, well, lucky I just tidied up.
Scene 13
Chucky's House · Inside
Fox Mulder
You'd better hope the fire marshal never comes... he'd red-tag you--
Chucky Poundstone
You calling the marshal?
Fox Mulder
No. I'm just saying.
[GROANS]
Chucky Poundstone
Talk about my house. This town needs cleaning up. Seen what you need? Get a sense of what lurks beneath?
Fox Mulder
I'm an FBI agent, Mr. Poundstone, not an archeologist.
Chucky Poundstone
Yeah, well, I got body parts in the fridge.
Fox Mulder
You play with your sister?
Chucky Poundstone
My sister's a miserable slut and a damn cheater on top of it.
Fox Mulder
How does she do that?
Chucky Poundstone
She cheats. Breaks the rules.
Fox Mulder
What are the rules?
[SCOFFS]
Chucky Poundstone
What are we, amigos now? Bros? Is this you deftly profiling the mind of Charles H. Poundstone?
Fox Mulder
It's a simple line of inquiry.
Chucky Poundstone
Yeah, well, it takes a dipwad to know one.
Fox Mulder
I take it you're twins.
Chucky Poundstone
Ooh. Powers of deduction.
Fox Mulder
And she's the good twin.
[CHUCKY LAUGHS]
Chucky Poundstone
You don't know Little Judy.
Fox Mulder
How do you both play a game with the name of the deceased Arkie Seavers in it?
Chucky Poundstone
I like the name Arkie. Funny name for a no-account douche bag.
Fox Mulder
All right, well, you mind if I take a picture of your wall? For my records.
Chucky Poundstone
Is this guy a numbnuts or what?
Fox Mulder
You talking to me?
Chucky Poundstone
No. I'm talking to him.
Scene 14
Mental Hospital · Hallway
Dana Scully
Is she expecting me here today?
Nurse Peggy
We told her you were coming.
Nurse Vickie
Then she flung dookie at us.
Dana Scully
So this is the other Judy.
Nurse Peggy
We call her Demon Judy.
Dana Scully
Why is the light off?
Nurse Peggy
Makes you a harder target. Sometimes a split personality responds... to a strong persona who challenges the psychotic child.
Nurse Vickie
Both parents hanged themselves.
Dana Scully
And you'll come in with me?
Nurse Peggy
Heh. No way. Heh. Not a chance.
Scene 15
Mental Hospital · Demon Judy
Dana Scully
Judy, it's Agent Scully.
[JUDY SNICKERING]
Dana Scully
I want you to behave yourself.
Judy Poundstone
I know what you want, bitch.
Dana Scully
I wanna know about Arkie.
Judy Poundstone
Reached the end of his rope.
[JUDY LAUGHING]
Dana Scully
I'm not afraid of you, Judy.
Judy Poundstone
Oh, yes, you are. Everybody's afraid of sweet Little Judy.
Dana Scully
Is Little Judy a killer?
Judy Poundstone
Little Judy's an angel.
Dana Scully
And what about your brother? Is he involved?
Judy Poundstone
Could be. Chucky Poundstone is the devil's dimwitted disciple.
Dana Scully
Did he kill Arkie Seavers?
Judy Poundstone
Arkie Seavers killed himself.
Dana Scully
How did you know that, Judy, if you weren't involved yourself?
Judy Poundstone
Are you trying to trick me, Agent Scully?
Dana Scully
I want the killing to stop.
Judy Poundstone
Oh. Well, don't you have a heart of gold? What's he see in you, your handsome partner? One taste of Little Judy and he'd forget you even exist. Maybe I can make you go away too.
Dana Scully
Are you threatening me?
[JUDY LAUGHING]
Judy Poundstone
Afraid I'll dirty your cheap little ensemble? You're nothing but a hosebag. How old are you, 40s? Past your childbearing years. You're all dried up, not even half a woman.
Dana Scully
You can't hurt me, Judy.
Judy Poundstone
Nothing hurts like the truth.
Scene 16
The Motel · Suite
Dana Scully
Just a minute.
Fox Mulder
Hey. What'd you find out, Scully?
Dana Scully
That dookie-winging past your head sends a sharp message to your brain.
Fox Mulder
What message is that?
Dana Scully
Heh. To gather the other apes and make war on your dread enemy.
Fox Mulder
I believe I'm in touch with that feeling, Scully.
Dana Scully
Really? Did you have dookie flung at you too?
Fox Mulder
Figuratively. By the queerest little man in the queerest little house.
Dana Scully
I don't know, Mulder, this Judy... she has some malign influence over these victims. I'm at a loss to figure out what it is.
Fox Mulder
I agree, there is some evil in the air, Scully.
Dana Scully
No, it's not evil, it's mental illness. There's some kind of psychic transference.
Fox Mulder
I wouldn't rule out ghosts.
Dana Scully
Well, except for the fact that they don't exist?
Fox Mulder
Of course there are ghosts. Science has proven stimulation of the brain's left anterior insula... is linked to the feeling of a sense presence.
Dana Scully
Repeated stimulations to an area of the left temporal parietal junction... is what promotes the sense of a shadowy figure... collectively known as the Gastaut-Geschwind syndrome.
Fox Mulder
Talk about flinging dookie.
[SIGHS]
Dana Scully
Mulder, do you think of me as old?
Fox Mulder
What? Where is that coming from? Maybe in dog years. No. What are you talking about?
Dana Scully
Well, a woman thinks about these things.
Fox Mulder
No, Scully, you're-- You still got it going on and... heh, you still got some scoot in your boot.
Dana Scully
I'm gonna boot you out of here. Knock three times.
[SIGHS]
Fox Mulder
Mm.
Scene 17
Chucky's House · Night
Chucky Poundstone
Bloodsucking scumbag. You think you're gonna point the finger at me? Four letters, little sister.
Scene 18
Mental Hospital · Judy's Room
Judy Poundstone
Is there an E? I thought so.
Scene 19
Chucky's House · Morning
Chucky Poundstone
Top of the morning, Agent Muldoon. What's on your mind?
Fox Mulder
I wanna know how you do it.
Chucky Poundstone
Haven't a clue what you mean.
Fox Mulder
Is the other Chucky here? The one I talked to yesterday?
Chucky Poundstone
Search me, Muldoon, I'm not my brother's keeper--
Fox Mulder
It's Mulder, and I think this is an act. You choose them at the jail, don't you? Losers like Arkie Seavers... who you hanged, if not literally, then psychically.
Chucky Poundstone
Does that FBI health plan of yours cover anger management, Agent Mulder?
Fox Mulder
Who's next, Mr. Poundstone?
Chucky Poundstone
You're asking the wrong guy.
Fox Mulder
I can have you and your alter ego arrested. I can have you committed.
Chucky Poundstone
On what legal pretense?
Fox Mulder
Intent to commit a crime.
Chucky Poundstone
Heh. I've seen many a bad jailhouse lawyer... spring far less innocent men than I, Agent Mulder.
Judy Poundstone
I'd even venture I'd have grounds to have you censured for abuse of power.
Fox Mulder
You're going down, Poundstone.
Chucky Poundstone
Tell it to the hand, G-man.
Fox Mulder
That's original. I haven't heard that before.
Chucky Poundstone
Before I punch you in the face... and snatch Little Red Riding Hood.
Fox Mulder
There's the Chucky I came for. And that's the Chucky who's eventually gonna hang himself.
Scene 20
Mental Hospital · Little Judy
Nurse Peggy
Judy? Excuse me, hon. Agent Scully's here to see you.
Judy Poundstone
What brings you here today, Agent Scully?
Dana Scully
Do you have any recollection of our exchange that we had yesterday? No memory whatsoever?
Judy Poundstone
You look mad at me.
Dana Scully
I am mad, Judy. I am... angry because I need to stop the killings... and I don't know how.
Judy Poundstone
And you blame me, don't you?
Dana Scully
Are you to blame?
Judy Poundstone
I'm an actress, Agent Scully. I've never even played a killer.
Dana Scully
Where is the person that I talked to here yesterday? Where is that Judy?
Judy Poundstone
She's right over there.
Dana Scully
No, she's not.
Judy Poundstone
Sure she is. Just look.
Dana Scully
No, she isn't, Judy. And I think that you're pretending that she is.
Judy Poundstone
You mean I'm pretending so I can sit here in this bed all day?
Dana Scully
I think you have some kind of power to influence people's lives.
Judy Poundstone
I think you mean their deaths.
Dana Scully
Yes. That's exactly what I mean.
[WHISPERING]
Judy Poundstone
People can protect themselves.
Dana Scully
How? Protect themselves how?
Judy Poundstone
By taking these pills. I take them every day to protect me from her, and so far... they've worked.
Dana Scully
Did the nurses give you these?
Judy Poundstone
Every morning with breakfast.
Dana Scully
Would you consider not playing that game with your brother?
Judy Poundstone
Ooh. Well, what would I do in here all day, Agent Scully? I'd go mad.
[SCOFFS]
Scene 21
Mental Hospital · Hallway
Dana Scully
I have a question for you. She said that you give these to her at breakfast every morning... and that they have secret powers.
Nurse Peggy
That's really only half true.
Dana Scully
That you give them to her at breakfast or they have secret power?
Nurse Peggy
We bring her bread every morning and she rolls it into those pills.
Dana Scully
So these are just bread pills. They have no medicinal qualities.
Nurse Peggy
No. Not that we know of, anyway.
Nurse Vickie
Well, but we both take them.
Nurse Peggy
In case they have secret power.
Nurse Vickie
You might wanna take them too.

The Diner · Dean Cavalier
Waitress
What'll you have, Dean?
Dean Cavalier
I'll take the lunch special. No mayo, salad on the side, lightly dressed. And if you bat those baby blues at me, I'll give you a little something on the side too.
Waitress
Promises are like bananas. Only good when they're appealing.
Dean Cavalier
I gotta have you over to my place... to see my sword collection.
Waitress
You say that to all the girls.
Dean Cavalier
Hey, did you see that guy?
Waitress
Did I see what guy?
Dean Cavalier
Cancel the blue plate. Agent Scully, I saw him.
Scene 23
The Motel · Outside
Dana Scully
Hold your horses, Mr. Cavalier.
Dean Cavalier
He looked just like me.
Dana Scully
Calm down and you can tell us both what it is that happened.
Dean Cavalier
All right. I saw him through a window, the same way Arkie said he saw his double.
Fox Mulder
Was it the first time?
Dean Cavalier
No, no, I think I saw him the other day... staring at me from a bus stop.
Dana Scully
You're making it worse.
Dean Cavalier
I'm making it worse? This guy is stalking me.
Dana Scully
Your paranoia is gonna feed on itself. You know that mass hysteria is just a symptom of fears run wild.
Dean Cavalier
Those people all died.
Fox Mulder
While I agree with Agent Scully's theory... There's a danger and take every precaution against It.
Dean Cavalier
All right. What should I do?
Fox Mulder
Stay off the interstate?
[SIGHS]
Dana Scully
Do you have a family, Mr. Cavalier?
Dean Cavalier
No, I don't. I live by myself.
Fox Mulder
Okay, well, maybe stay home.
Dana Scully
Take some time off work, lock your doors and call the police if you have another panic attack.
Dean Cavalier
Yeah. Well, that's easy for you to say.
Fox Mulder
Take my card. And just know that it can't haunt you if you don't let it.
Dean Cavalier
Yeah.
Scene 24
The Motel · Suite
Fox Mulder
Like I said before. Clearly there's a dark influence set loose in this town, Scully.
Dana Scully
Well, by "dark influence," again, I presume you mean “evil,” Mulder. But there is no such thing as evil. I mean, evil is a concept.
Fox Mulder
Like the devil.
Dana Scully
Oh, the devil is a concept?
Fox Mulder
Certainly, that's not what they taught young Dana Katherine Scully in Sunday school, is it?
Dana Scully
Well, I certainly believed In the literal devil when I was a child.
Fox Mulder
You don't believe that we as humans have dark sides that we sublimate or repress?
Dana Scully
Well, anyone with an imagination can entertain acting out violence or antisocial behavior. That doesn't mean that there's an evil twin lurking inside of us.
Fox Mulder
Speak for yourself, Scully. And tell that to Chuck and Judy.
Dana Scully
Chuck and Judy are mentally ill.
Fox Mulder
Explain how they're doing it.
Dana Scully
I can't.
Fox Mulder
But if you eliminate the impossible... whatever is remaining, even if improbable, must be the truth. No sugar, Sherlock.
Dana Scully
But I have to admit... I still sleep with my back to the door in case the devil comes in the night.
Fox Mulder
Can never be too careful.

Dana Scully
Please, Mulder, you've got to quit scaring me like that.
Fox Mulder
Oh, I'd like to quit.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING OVER RADIO]
Dana Scully
Thank you.
Fox Mulder
So neighbors called police when they saw him acting Suspiciously.
Dana Scully
He was dumping firearms in the driveway.
Fox Mulder
The doors were locked from the inside when they arrived?
Dana Scully
Yeah, he wasn't responding.
Fox Mulder
They broke through the window and broke in the door.
Dana Scully
Has anybody offered up any evidence for how this could happen?
Fox Mulder
Well, it seems everyone's under the agreement that a man can't cut off his own head.
Dana Scully
Oh, good to see there's still a shred of sanity left in this town.
Fox Mulder
But I have to say, it's not outside the realm of extreme possibility.
Dana Scully
Oh, so he tripped and fell and splattered the walls with blood?
Fox Mulder
Well, if he were a determined man... with a razor-sharp sword set on creating his own self-fulfilling prophecy--
Dana Scully
He was scared out of his mind, Scully.
Fox Mulder
Well, if he was in his right mind, he might've called you.
Dana Scully
Oh, maybe he tried. Only he lost his head.

Fox Mulder
What's the problem?
Dana Scully
Something about this case is getting under my skin.
Fox Mulder
Well, we've had stranger cases, Scully.
Dana Scully
Can you hold me?
Fox Mulder
Yeah. I can do that.
[DANA SIGHS]
Dana Scully
What's gonna happen?
Fox Mulder
What's gonna happen when?
Dana Scully
When we're old.
Fox Mulder
What do you mean "when"?
Dana Scully
I mean... Sooner or later we're gonna retire and....
Fox Mulder
Hmm.
Dana Scully
Are we gonna spend time together?
Fox Mulder
I'll come push your wheelchair. With my wheelchair.
Dana Scully
That's not what I mean.
Fox Mulder
Oh, I'll always be around, Scully. Offering bulletproof theories of genius that you fail to assail with your inadequate rationality.
Dana Scully
And I'll always be around to prove you wrong.
Fox Mulder
Hmm.
Dana Scully
Promise. No, but that’s not what I mean.
Fox Mulder
What do you mean?
Dana Scully
What if you meet someone? What if you meet someone... younger... who wants to have kids?
Fox Mulder
Oh, that's what you mean. Well... You could do the same. You could meet someone... and have kids.
Dana Scully
Mm. Mulder, that's not gonna happen.
Fox Mulder
It's nonsense.
Dana Scully
No, it's not. I'm-- I'm at the end of that journey.
Fox Mulder
Do you wanna have more kids?
Dana Scully
Well... I would have liked to have had another one.
Fox Mulder
Hmm. At the risk of sounding insensitive, what's stopping you?
Dana Scully
Mm. Besides the fact that the first time was a miracle? And besides the fact that... I don't have anyone to have one with even if I could?
Fox Mulder
You're a woman of science.
Dana Scully
Mulder, sometimes I think the world is going to hell... and we're the only two who can save it.
Fox Mulder
The world is going to hell, Scully. The president working to bring down the FBI along with it.
Dana Scully
What if we lose our jobs?
Fox Mulder
Yeah. Then what would we do?
Dana Scully
We'll think of something.

What are you talking about?
Fox Mulder
I was looking in the mirror, and there he was. There I was. It wasn't my reflection. It was my double.
Dana Scully
I know. I saw my double too. They're targeting us both. That's how they operate.
Fox Mulder
I know how they operate.
Dana Scully
You're playing into it.
Fox Mulder
Spare me the pop psychology, okay?
Dana Scully
Mulder, you have to calm down.
Fox Mulder
Scully. Put a dimmer on that afterglow and get to the hospital before they hang us both. They can't hang us.

We can only hang ourselves if we panic.

How many letters in "Scully," Scully?

I'm glad to hear that, Mulder.

Yeah.

Uh....

I guess I should hit the hay.

Okay.

Yeah. If you need anything, you just call me.

I can't imagine that I will.
