Skinner and Scully in “Nothing Important Happened Today II”

Skinner

Hi. Sorry about the hour.

Scully

I've just put him down.

Skinner

(troubled) I couldn't talk on the phone.

Scully

What is it?

Skinner

I was told to leave this alone. You and Mulder asked me to leave it be. To let Mulder disappear. We were concerned for the safety of the baby and for Mulder. Why am I risking that now? Why are you? Why are you getting mixed up with Doggett's investigation?

Scully

(looking away) Something happened, with my baby.

Skinner

What?

Scully

I can't explain it. It's er, it's unexplainable, it's, um, not normal.

Skinner

Whatever it is, I think you've made a terrible mistake. Letting Doggett pull you into this. He's hell-bent. And Agent Reyes is following right in his tracks.

Scully

I need answers. I need to know. I can't just sit around wondering-

Skinner

If you can't tell me, tell Mulder. Tell him what happened.

Scully

Mulder can't know. He can't be brought back into this. He can't be brought back into the FBI. It's just too dangerous for him right now.

Skinner

(pauses) ..It's too dangerous for everyone.
