Scully and Mulder in “Bad Blood”

Skinner wants a report in one hour. What are you going to tell him?

What do you mean what am I gonna tell him? I'm gonna tell him exactly what I saw. What are you gonna tell him?

I'll tell him exactly what I saw.

Now, how is that different? (Scully shrugs) ..Look, Scully, I'm the one who may wind up going to prison here. I gotta know if you're gonna back me up or what.

(annoyed) First of all, if the family of Ronnie Strickland does indeed decide to sue the FBI for, I think the figure is $446 million, then you and I both will most certainly be co-defendants. And second of all.. I don't even have a second of all, Mulder! 446 million dollars! I'm in this as deep as you are, and I'm not even the one that overreacted! I didn't do the [stabbing motion] with the thing!

I did not overreact - Ronnie Strickland was a vampire!

Where's your proof?

You're my proof! You were there!

[Scully sighs]

Okay, now you're scaring me. I want to hear exactly what you're going to tell Skinner.

Oh, you want us to get our stories straight.

No, no, no - I didn't say that. I just want to hear it the way you saw it.

I don't feel comfortable with that.

Prison, Scully. Your cell mate's nickname is going to be Large Marge. She's going to read a lot of Gertrude Stein.
