- John Doggett: You going to be okay, Agent Scully? I got a drift of what happened in there... to you. I mean... sort of.
- Dana Scully: [her voice breaks] I shot a young boy.
- John Doggett: The good news is, you're wrong.
- Dana Scully: But it's what I saw. With my eyes anyway. Do you know what it's like not to be able to trust your own eyes?
- John Doggett: Then why'd you shoot him?
- Dana Scully: Because it's what the boy saw. And in an instant I realized that it's what Mulder would have seen or understood.
- [she starts to cry]
- Dana Scully: Because that's just how he came at things... without judgment and without prejudice and with an open mind that I am just not capable of.
- John Doggett: It's been a long night. Give yourself a break.
- [Scully sighs]
- John Doggett: This whole thing doesn't make any sense.
- Dana Scully: No... it did. In some way... it did.
- John Doggett: Things that land in your in-box, huh, Agent Scully?
- Dana Scully: Good morning. I'm sorry I'm late. I didn't get a chance to look at the case file. The traffic's terrible.
- John Doggett: Beltway's a nightmare. Takes longer to get crosstown than it does a plane ride from India, which is where our victim flew in from last night. Bombay.
- Dana Scully: Who are we talking about?
- John Doggett: Hugh Potocki. Importer/exporter from Minneapolis. Laid over in DC on his way home when all this blood drains from his body.
- Dana Scully: Did the M.E. see it? The body?
- John Doggett: Yeah. Tox test ruled out hemorrhagic fever, ebola, anything exotic. Something killed this man but it doesn't seem to be any foreign disease.
- Dana Scully: No sign of forced entry?
- John Doggett: No. No one was seen coming or going from this room. The maid found the body 20 minutes after a bellman left Mr. Potocki here. Whatever happened, happened fast.
- Dana Scully: So basically what you're saying is that nobody knows anything.
- John Doggett: But then I guess that's why it's in your in-box.
- [teasingly]
- John Doggett: So what do you think, Agent Scully? Haunted hotel room? Alien invaders? Sloppy vampires?
