“Requiem” quotes from The X-Files

Mulder

Who is it?

Scully

It's me.

Mulder

(lets her in; she goes and sits on the bed) What's wrong, Scully? You look sick.

Scully

I don't know what's wrong.

Mulder

Come in.

Scully

I, um... I was starting to get ready for bed and I started to feel really dizzy - vertigo or something - and then I just... I started to get chills.

Mulder

You want me to call a doctor?

Scully

No, I just... I just want to get warm. Thank you. (she climbs under the covers, he tucks her in before crawling in next to her and spooning with her)

Mulder

It's not worth it, Scully.

Scully

What?

Mulder

I want you to go home.

Scully

Oh, Mulder, I'm going to be fine.

Mulder

No, I've been thinking about it. Looking at you tonight, holding that baby... knowing everything that's been taken away from you. A chance for motherhood and your health and that baby. I think that... I don't know, maybe they're right.

Scully

Who's right?

Mulder

The FBI. Maybe what they say is true, though for all the wrong reasons. It's the personal costs that are too high. There so much more you need to do with your life. There's so much more than this. There has to be an end, Scully.

Scully

Mulder, if any of this is true...

Mulder

If it is, or if it isn't, I want you to forget about it, Scully.

Scully

Forget about it?

Mulder

You're not going back out there. I'm not going to let you go back out there.

Scully

What are you talking about?

Mulder

It has to end sometime. That time is now.

Scully

Mulder...

Mulder

Scully, you have to understand that they're taking abductees. You're an abductee. I'm not going to risk... losing you.

Scully

I won't let you go alone.

I see the money bleed out, but it just doesn't seem to make the results of your work any better. So many of the cases you investigate are left unexplained. Makes it hard to justify the expense.

Scully

So much of the work that we do cannot be measured in standard terms.

How would you measure it?

Scully

We open doors with the X-Files, which lead to other doors.

Doors leading to... "A conspiracy of men who cooperated with alien beings to create human alien hybrids." So we could all become slaves of an alien invasion.

Scully

I believe that there was once a conspiracy. I believe I was taken by men who subjected me to medical tests, which gave me cancer and left me barren.

But you don't believe in aliens?

Scully

I've seen things that I cannot deny.

Skinner

(enters her hospital room) Agent Scully.

Scully

Hi.

Skinner

Hi. How you feeling?

Scully

I'm feeling fine. They're just running some tests on me.

Skinner

Well... um... (he looks like he's in pain; he can't say it)

Scully

(almost crying) I already heard.

Skinner

(voice breaking) I lost him. I don't know what else I can say. I lost him. I'll be asked... what I saw. And what I saw, I can't deny. I won't.

Scully

(crying) We will find him. I have to. (Skinner nods and starts to leave) Sir, um... there's something else I need to tell you. Something that I need for you to keep to yourself. (she looks torn between laughing and crying) I'm having a hard time explaining it. Or believing it. But, um... (she smiles - half joy, half pain) I'm pregnant.
