I just think it's a good idea not to antagonise local law enforcement.
Who, me? I'm Mr. Congeniality.
You never know, we might need his help one of these days.
I'll send him a bundt cake.

I just think it's a good idea not to antagonise local law enforcement.
Who, me? I'm Mr. Congeniality.
You never know, we might need his help one of these days.
I'll send him a bundt cake.
Hey, that's a nice tattoo, what is that?
What's it look like?
Flying saucer. You don't really believe in that stuff, do ya?
I take it you don't.
No, I think it's all just a bunch of crazy people howling at the moon.
Great.
What?
You shouldn't have told them. They have no jurisdiction.
Mulder... They're NSA. They think the boy may be a threat to national security.
Come on. How could an eight year old boy, who can barely multiply, be a threat to national security? And people call me paranoid.
I know I should be afraid, but I'm not.
Do you know why?
Because of the voice... The voice in my head.
What's it telling you?
Not to be afraid. It's telling me that no harm will come to her and that one day she'll return.
Do you believe the voice?
I want to believe.
At least if we had a legitimate source...
This is the essence of science. You ask an impertinent question and you're on your way to a pertinent answer.
You know when I was a kid, I had this ritual. I closed my eyes before I walked into my room, 'cause I thought that one day when I opened them my sister would be there. Just lying in bed, like nothing ever happened. You know I'm still walking into that room, everyday of my life.
She should be encouraged to tell her story, not to keep it inside, it's important that you let her.
Important to who? I have my daughter back, I don't want any more trouble. Besides she can hardly remember anything.
But she will remember one day, one way or another, even if it's only in dreams. And when she does, she's gonna wanna talk about it, she's gonna need to talk about it.
Like I did? Listen to me, all of my life I have been ridiculed, for speaking my mind.
But it was the truth, Darlene.
The truth has caused me nothing but heartache, I don't want the same thing for her.
