The X-Files · Season 7, Episode 12

Mulder, Sergeant Paula Duthie and others in “X-Cops”

(speaking to Wetzel after he is attacked) I'm sorry, but you're going to have to be isolated and kept under guard.

SPSergeant Paula Duthie

With all due respect, what the *bleep* are you talking about?

I'm talking about preventing this man from becoming a danger to himself and to others.

SPSergeant Paula Duthie

..Can I see your badge again?

(smiling sweetly) Agent Mulder? Can we have a word a second?

Yeah. Excuse me..

[Mulder and Scully walk a bit away, camera crew surreptitiously follows]

..Yeah, what is it?

"What is it"? Mulder, have you noticed that we're on television?

I don't think it's live television, Scully. She just said *bleep*.

But it's a camera, and it's recording - [notices camera crew, walks further away with Mulder] It's recording everything you are saying, do you understand that? I just wanna make sure you're clear on that.

Sure, I'm clear on that Scully.

My point being, Mulder, is that we're on a case.

[camera again sneaks closer]

This presents an opportunity - I feel we're very close here. The possibility of capturing concrete proof of the paranormal; a werewolf, in front of a national audience, even an international audience - What's not to love?

Well - [notices camera and walks away with Mulder again] Look, Mulder, you want to talk about werewolves to me you can knock yourself out. I may not agree with you but at least I'm not going to hold it against you but this.. Mulder, this could ruin your career.

(chuckling) What career? ..Scully, I appreciate it - You don't want me looking foolish. I do. I appreciate that.

I don't want me looking foolish, Mulder.
