Last year was something of a personal revelation. We were doing an exercise called "Team Builders," where we were given two minutes to build a tower out of ordinary office furniture.
When I stood on Mike's shoulders and I put that electric pencil sharpener on top of the pile, we both knew - we could never have done it alone.
(leaning over to Scully, whispering) Kill me now.
You ever been to one of these team seminars, Agent Scully?
Um... I think I went to a constructive problem-solving course when I first joined the bureau.
Oh did you play that game where you can't use any negative words?
I couldn't believe how hard it was not to use the word "but!"
(falsely enthusiastic) I'm having that same problem right now!
Have you ever been to a team seminar, Agent Mulder?
(grinning at Scully) No. You know, unfortunately around this time of year, I always develop a severe hemorrhoidal condition.
Well, it builds muscles you didn't even know you had.
Communication. That's the key.
[A police officer waves them down and the car stops.]
Sorry folks, it'll be a few minutes.
What's going on?
Got a little situation, that's all.
(opens the car door and bolts) Thank you, Jesus.
[The three left in the car watch as Mulder walks off] Where's he goin'?
