The Diamond in The Rough

Aladdin is a poor Young Man living in China (In Name Only. The setting is completely Islamic). He has no job and lives off the little money His Widowed Mother can bring in; His Father died from Grief at such An Irresponsible Son. One day, An Evil Maghreb Sorcerer approaches him, claiming to be His Father's Brother but in fact seeking to use him for his own benefit. He gives Aladdin A Ring and sends him into A Magic Cave to retrieve An Old Oil Lamp, but when Aladdin struggles on the last step, The Magician's impatience gets the better of him and he seals The Cave with Aladdin and His Lamp inside. 

Fortunately, he's still wearing His Magic Ring which, when rubbed, releases a Jinn who brings him out. When he gets home, Aladdin's Mother starts cleaning The Lamp, releasing a far more powerful Jinn who grants Aladdin his every wish.

Over time, with the use of The Lamp, Aladdin becomes vastly wealthy. He even gains The Sultan's favorite daughter for His Wife. However, The Sorcerer realizes that Aladdin must have escaped with The Lamp, so he steals it with a ruse, then takes Aladdin's Palace, along with His Wife and all his possessions, to His Home in Maghreb.

Aladdin despairs, but all is not lost, because he still has that Magic Ring. While The Ring Jinn can't simply undo The Lamp Jinn's Magic, He can transport Aladdin to His Palace, where he frees His Wife, beats the bad guy, and gets His Lamp back.

 

 All right! You know, it is funny because I'm so used to-
Always-, my key is always higher than the actors' who do, like, my songs
I can't believe-
You have a high voice
But you-, you actually do the song-, I do it in A, erm, in C, right?
Yeah
You do it in what?
In D
Unbelievable (a step up)
My ego has just shattered everything
You wanna try it?
Let's do it!

Proud of your boy
I'll make you proud of your boy
Believe me, bad as I've been, ma
You're in for a pleasant surprise

I've wasted time
I've wasted me
So say I'm slow for my age
A late bloomer, okay, I agree
That I've been one rotten kid
Some son, some pride and some joy
But I'll get over these lousin' up
Messin' up, screwin' up times
 

You'll see, ma, now comes the better part
Someone's gonna make good cross his stupid heart
Make good and finally make you
Proud of your boy
 

Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer
You won't get a fight here, no, ma'am
Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good
But that couldn't be all that I am
 

Water flows under the bridge, let it pass
Let it go
There's no good reason that you should believe me, not yet
I know, but
 

Someday and soon
I'll make you proud of your boy
Though I can't make myself taller
Or smarter or handsome or wise
 

I'll do my best, what else can I do?
Since I wasn't born perfect like dad or you
Mom, I will try to try hard to make you
Proud of your boy

 

Aladdin’s Cave

“Life can be absolutely phenomenal and it should be and it will be when you start using The Secret. 

Well a lot of people ask me what Their Job is in The Creative Process, and what The Job of The Universe is. 

So let's look at that for a moment. 

Let's use this metaphor if you think about Aladdin and His Lamp. 

You've probably heard of that one. 

I mean, Aladdin picks up The Lamp and he Dusts it Off and out pops The Genie. 

The Genie always says one thing, 

"Your wish is my command." 

If you trace the story back to its origins, you know we now think that there' s Three Wishes, but if you trace the story back to its origins there's absolutely no limit whatsoever to the wishes. 

Think about that one. Now, let's take this metaphor and blow it out and apply it to You and Your Life. 

Remember Aladdin is The One Who Always Asks for What He Wants. 

Then you've got The Universe at large, which is This Grand Genie, and Traditions you know have called it so many different things. Your Holy Guardian Angel, your Higher Self. I mean we can put any label on it, and you chose the one that works best for you. But every Tradition has told us there's something Bigger Than Us. 

And The Genie always Says one thing... 

"Your wish is my command." 

So we like to say to you that The Creative Process is a three step process. 

Step One is, You must Ask for What You Want. 

You Do Not Need to Use Words to Ask, in fact, The Universe is not even hearing Words from You. 

The Universe is responding completely 

to Your Thought. 

What do you really want? Sit down and write it out on a piece of paper. Write it in The Present Tense. 

You might begin by Writing, "I am so happy and grateful now that... ' 

And then explain How You Want Your Life to Be. 

In every area. 

And this is really fun. This is like having The Universe as Your Catalogue, and You flip through it and You go, "Well, I'd like to have this experience and I'd like to have that product and I'd like to have a person like that.' 

It is You just Placing Your Order with The Universe. 

It's really that easy. 

The Second Step is Answer. 

An Answer to What You're Asking. 

And that is Not-Your Work in Your Physical Form. 

The Universe will do that step for you. 

All of the universal forces are responding 

to The Thoughts that you have set into motion.

Genie: 

And The Universe will start to rearrange itself to make it happen for you. 

Most of us have never allowed ourselves 

to want What We Truly Want, 

because we can't see 

how it's going to manifest. 

If you do just a little research it is going to become evident to you that anyone that ever accomplished anything, 

did not know how they were going to do it. 

They only knew they were going to do it. 

You don't need to know how it's going to come about. 

You don't need to know how the universe will rearrange itself. 

You don't know how, it'll be shown to you. 

You will attract The Way. 

So then Our Friends Say, 'Something must be going terribly wrong, because I know I am asking so where' s my stuff? ' 

And We Say, "You are Asking. You are completing step one, you can't help but do that. 

And The Universe is answering every time, no exception. 

But there is another step that you must understand, and it is called Step Three, which is The Receiving Step. Which means, You must bring yourself into alignment with what you're asking for. When you are in alignment with What You Want, you feel wonderful. 

That's what Enthusiasm is, that's what Joy is, that's what Appreciation is, that's what that Feeling of Passion is. But when you are feeling despair or fear or anger, those are strong indicators that you are not right now in alignment with What You're Asking-for. 

And so, when you begin to realise that the way you feel is everything, and you begin to direct your thoughts based upon how they feel, little by little you can find the feeling place of it and now you are one with it, and now it must manifest into Your Experience. 

And when you turn that Fantasy into A Fact, you're in the position to build bigger and better fantasies. 

And that My Friend, 

is The Creative Process. 

So, The Law of Attraction, The Study and Practice of The Law of Attraction, is just figuring out what will help you generate The Feelings of Having it Now. 

Go test drive that car, 

go shop for that home, 

get in the house. 

Do whatever you have to do to generate the feelings of having it now, and remember them. 

Whatever you can do to do that will help you to literally attract it. It could be you wake up and it's just there, it' s manifest. 

Or, you might get some inspired idea of some action to take. 

You certainly shouldn't be going, 

"Well, I could do it this way, 

but man I would hate that.' 

Because you're not on the right track if that' s the case. 

Action will sometimes be required, 

but if you're really doing it in line with what The Universe is trying to deliver, 

it's going to feel joyous, 

you're going to feel so alive, 

time will just stop, 

you could do it all day. 

The Universe Likes Speed, 

Don't Delay 

Don't Second-Guess, 

Don't Doubt. 

When The Opportunity's there, 

when The Impulse is there, 

when The Intuitive-nudge from Within is there, act -- That's your job. 

And that's all you have to do. 

You will attract everything that you require. 

If it's money you need you will attract it, 

if it's people you need you'll attract it. 

If it's a certain book you need you'll attract it. 

You've gotta pay attention to what you're attracted-to, 

because as you hold images of what you want, 

you're gonna be attracted to things 

and they're gonna be attracted to you. 

But it literally moves into physical reality 

with and through you. 

And it does that By Law. 

You can start with nothing, 

and out of nothing 

and out of no way, 

A Way will be made. 

Think of this : 

A car driving through the night, the headlights only go a hundred to two hundred feet forward, and you can make it all the way from California to New York, driving, through the dark, because all you have to see is the next two hundred feet. And that's how life tends to unfold before us. And if we just trust that the next two hundred feet will unfold after that that and the next two hundred feet will unfold after that, your life will keep unfolding. 

And it will eventually get you to the destination of whatever it is you truly want, because you want it. Well another thing people wonder about is, how long is this gonna take? 

How long will it take to manifest the car, the relationship, the money, or whatever it happens to be. Well, I don't have any rule book that says it's gonna take you thirty minutes or three days or thirty days. I think its more a matter of you being in alignment with the Universe itself. 

Size is nothing to The Universe. 

It is no more difficult to attract on a scientific level something that we consider huge to something that we consider infinitesimally small... 

The Universe does everything it does with zero effort. 

The grass doesn't strain to grow, it's effortless. 

It' s just this great design. 

It's all about what' s going on up here. 

It's about what we put in place saying 

"This is big, it' s going to take some time' 

and "This is small, oh I'll give it an hour.' 

You know, those are Our Rules that we define. 

There are No Rules according to The Universe. 

You provide the feelings of Having it Now. 

It will respond. 

Some people have an easier time with little things and so we sometimes say, "Well, start with something small like a cup of coffee." 

Make it Your Intention to attract A Cup of Coffee today.' 

Hold an image of talking to an old friend that you haven't seen for a long time. 

Somehow or another somebody's going to start talking to you about that person. That person's going to phone you or you'll get a letter from them. 

People are amazed at how I line up car parks, and I've done this right from when I first understood The Secret. I would visualise a car space exactly where I wanted it and 95% of the time it would be there for me, and I would just pull straight in. 5% of the time I'd have to wait just a minute or two and the person would pull out and I'd pull in. So I do that all that time. 

A lot of people feel stuck or imprisoned or confined by their current circumstances, and I'm trying to point out that whatever your circumstances right now that is only your current reality and current reality will begin to change as a result of watching this and beginning to use The Secret. 

And sometimes it feels like you're stuck, because you continue to think the same thoughts over and over again. And so you tend to get the same results over and over again. 

And the reason is because, You see if you're just looking at What Is, then you're just thinking about What Is. 

And when you think about What Is, 

Law of Attraction gives you more of it. 

And then if you just observe What Is then you're just thinking about What Is and Law of Attraction gives you more of What Is. And then if you just observe what-we've been over this haven't we. 

You have to find a way that you are 

approaching What Is through 

a different vantage point. 

Most people look at their current state of affairs 

and they say "This is Who I Am". 

That's not Who You Are 

that's Who You Were. 

SISTER MOON : I Want to Believe

 “Luther Lee Boggs, Clyde Bruckman, Gerald Schnauz.. 

I went through those cases 

and that work was extremely impressive.”

  

(Cameo) Vanessa Morley: 

When Fox Mulder and Dana Scully first walk back into the F.B.I. offices 

right before they walk into the bullpen, 

a female agent walks by that catches Mulder's attention 

and he watches her walk away. 

The woman is the actress who throughout The X Files (1993) 

played the young Samantha Mulder, 

and is the same Samantha 

in the photo Mulder has taped to the back of his home office door.

 “But I've learned to pretend over the past nine years - to pretend that my victories MATTERED, only to realize that NO-ONE was keeping score.”

— Fox Mulder, 2002,

Post-9/11.

  

GENERAL MARK A. SUVEG: 

This would look bad for the Marines 

if it didn't look worse for The FBI. 

What does Mulder intend to plea?

KERSH shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head. 

He doesn't know.

Right up until this very instant —

He did not CARE :

He HATES Fox Mulder, 

and everything that he represents.

But now.....

GENERAL MARK A. SUVEG: 

You wanted a chance to clear up 

this mess, Mr. Kersh, and 

I'm going to give it to you —

Give it to the FBI.

KERSH: 

How?

GENERAL MARK A. SUVEG: 

A fair hearing for Your Agent 

by his own Agency. 

Mulder isn’t an FBI Agent anymore —

He’s been Out of The Bureau since shortly after he returned from The Dead.

The Military Doesn’t Care.

The Bush Administration Doesn’t Care.

Blame must be assigned.

And for that to happen, 

The FBI must get out of The Way, 

go along with The Lie and Keep Silent.

9/11.

Your Prosecutor, Your Judges. 

Held in my court.

KERSH: 

That can't be legal. 

KERSH:

Why Do This?

GENERAL MARK A. SUVEG: 

I want a verdict. 

A guilty verdict. 

This man Mulder has made 

a lot of Enemies. 

He's A Crusader. 

And a lot of people do 

not like The Crusade.

KERSH shakes his head, no.

KERSH: 

I can't do that.

GENERAL MARK A. SUVEG: 

Oh, you'll do it, 

Deputy Director. 

You and I both know there are forces 

inside The Government now that 

A Man would be foolish to disobey.

KERSH knows a threat when he hears one.

SCULLY :

You've always said that you 

Want to Believe. 

 

But Believe in WHAT, Mulder? 

 

If this is The Truth that you've been looking for, then 

What is left 

to Believe in?

MULDER: 

I Want to Believe That The Dead Are Not Lost to Us.

 

That They Speak to Us as Part of Something Greater Than Us - 

Greater Than Any Alien Force. 

 

And if You and I are powerless now, 

I Want to Believe 

That if We LISTEN 

to What is SPEAKING --

 

It can 

Give Us The Power 

to Save Ourselves.

SCULLY :

 Then,

We Believe in The Same Thing.

She reaches down  to the gifted Gold that hangs on a chain around her neck, the same Golden totem that has hung there, 

in plain sight for 9 whole seasons of Network Television without attracting ANY real notice or curious interest —  or not any from Mulder, at least — 

and she gently turns her Cross ever-so slightly, 45-degrees or so from the perpendicular —

It is an X. 

The Unknown and Unquantifiable, Endless-Nameless Mystery

“A lot of people like to 

characterise Grant, as — 

A Space Case.

 

And a NUTTER.

 

 But what a lot of people don’t realise, 

in large-part because They're not listening,

is that he is extremely 

practial and pragmantic.

 

When he talks about his alien abduction, 

when he talks about Magick, it's all about --

 

The Practical Method 

to make Something Happen.

 

In his completely insane and unreasonable way,

he is actually completely reasonable -- 

and pragmatic about these things."

SCENE 5 

SOMERSET, WESTERN VIRGINIA 

5:02 A.M.

The FBI vehicles drive down a snow-laden track. 

Joe is dozing next to Mulder in the back. 

The vehicle goes over a bump and he wakes up.

FATHER JOE: 

Are we getting warm?

WHITNEY: 

You tell us.

Whitney is in the front passenger seat, Drummy is driving.

FATHER JOE: 

I don't know. 

I have a clue where we are.

MULDER: 

That's all right. 

Everybody works differently.

FATHER JOE: 

Who are you - The Good Cop?

MULDER: 

I'm the non-Cop.

He holds out Monica Bannan's FBI photo ID card.

FATHER JOE: 

I don't know this girl. 

This Agent Bannan of yours. 

I haven't a clue of the connection.

MULDER: 

There's always something, 

however small.

FATHER JOE: 

And who made you 

The Expert?

MULDER: 

I once investigated a series of cases involving unexplained phenomena for the FBI.

FATHER JOE: 

So you believe in these sort of things?

MULDER: 

Let's just say 

I want to Believe.

DRUMMY: 

And His Sister was abducted.

By E.T.

FATHER JOE: 

...Is that True...?

MULDER: 

It was a long time ago.

FATHER JOE: 

.....she's dead, isn't she?

Your Sister?

Mulder doesn't answer. 

He takes Monica Bannan's ID and looks at it. 

Whitney glances at him. 

Then Joe leans forward.

FATHER JOE: 

This is where she was taken - Your Agent. 

This is where she was attacked.

MULDER: 

I want him to see the crime scene.

They pull into a driveway and get out of the cars. 

Joe walks towards the garage 

then stops.

FATHER JOE: 

No, this isn't right. 

You've brought me to the wrong house.

Joe walks back down the drive.

MULDER: 

Pulled that right out of his ass.

Drummy walks after Father Joe who has now 

walked onto the road. 

He approaches the house opposite, 

where there is yellow crime scene tape 

around the garage. 

He goes into the garage and looks around. 

Whitney indicates to Drummy to follow him.

WHITNEY: 

There were news crews out here 

covering the scene, 

pictures of the neighborhood — 

He could've recognized it all from TV....

Mulder and Whitney go round the outside of the house.

MULDER: 

Yeah, but, why?

WHITNEY: 

Why?

MULDER: 

Why do it? Why go to such 

great lengths to create such an 

elaborate fiction.

WHITNEY: 

Expiation. Forgiveness of His Sins. 

He's written dozens of letters 

to The Vatican pleading 

re-engagement with 

The Church.

MULDER: 

A rather odd way to impress 

The Holy See.

WHITNEY: 

The Voice of God Speaking 

through A Man - 

I think that's been 

A Winner a few times.

At the back of the house, 

Father Joe is walking towards The Woods, 

Drummy watching him.

MULDER: 

So you think he's Guilty too, huh?

WHITNEY: 

We HAVE to consider him 

A Suspect —

MULDER: 

But you found no connection 

to The Crime.

WHITNEY: 

Don't think My Guys have stopped looking, 

and they think they're going to find Monica.

MULDER: 

But you don't, 

or I wouldn't be here.

WHITNEY: 

Yeah, I'm not the most popular girl 

at the FBI right now for 

calling you in, 

Believe Me.

MULDER: 

I wasn't exactly Miss Popularity 

at the FBI myself.

WHITNEY: 

But you've dealt with 

psychics before. 

Luther Lee Boggs, 

Clyde Bruckman, 

Gerald Schnauz - 

I went through 

those cases and 

that work was 

extremely impressive.

MULDER: 

Yeah, well. 

I'm only half The Yeam.

WHITNEY: 

But it's YOUR insights 

I NEED.

They see Father Joe sink to his knees in The Snow. 

They rush over to him.

FATHER JOE: 

She ran away. 

She tried to escape. 

There were two men. 

Well, she couldn't. 

He pushed her down, 

it was here, 

it was right here, 

and then they put in the back.

WHITNEY: 

Where?!

FATHER JOE: 

In the car - no - it was a truck, 

a truck with something on it.

WHITNEY: 

We have to find her!

FATHER JOE: 

She's in pain, 

great, great pain.

WHITNEY: 

Tell me where!

FATHER JOE: 

I don't know. 

I can't see.

WHITNEY: 

We need to find her!

FATHER JOE: 

I can't see.

Drummy doesn't believe this.

DRUMMY: 

Because he's pulling it out of his ass.

If he were, 

he would be lying better — 

providing more positive and actionable information 

(even if it isn’t True),

and he would never be saying 

“I Don’t Know.”

It isn’t bullshit, therefore.

If he were faking it, 

he would want to seem 

as useful and insight 

as possible — he isn’t.

This is largely unhelpful :

Except for the fact that 

she is in Great Pain.

But that does not help 

in finding her...

He walks off. 

Mulder and Whitney look down at Joe who is weeping. 

They blood spots on The Snow.

MULDER: 

Father Joe?

Father Joe lifts up his head. 

The blood is coming from his eyes.

At the hospital, Scully goes into the children's ward and up to Christian who is lying in bed.

SCULLY: 

Hi, Christian. 

You're looking very bright-eyed this morning.

CHRISTIAN: 

I was thinking.

SCULLY: 

Yeah? What were you thinking?

CHRISTIAN: 

How I'm going to get out of here.

SCULLY: 

Well, you know, 

I'm thinking exactly the same thing.

CHRISTIAN: 

Can I get out of here soon?

SCULLY: 

What's wrong? 

Has something scared you?

CHRISTIAN: 

The Way The Man 

is looking at me.

SCULLY: 

What man?

Christian indicates a man standing in the corridor.

SCULLY: 

Don't be afraid.

Scully walks down the corridor to The Man, Father Ybarra, 

who is looking through a folder.

SCULLY: 

I was just looking for those.

FATHER YBARRA: 

I wanted to go over them myself 

and the results of the 

new tests that you ordered.

SCULLY: 

That isn't really your purview, Father. 

It's his primary physician's.

FATHER YBARRA: 

It is in my purview, to make sure 

that all my physicians are making 

The Right Choices for their patients 

and for The Hospital.

SCULLY: 

Can I have the test results, please?

He hands them to her.

FATHER YBARRA: 

We are here to Heal The Sick, 

not prolong the ordeal 

of The Dying. 

There are other, 

better facilities for The Boy.

 

DRUMMY: 

Dana Scully? 

Dr. Scully, 

I'm looking for Fox Mulder.

SCULLY: 

Excuse me.

Scully walks over to him.

DRUMMY: 

Special Agent Drummy 

with the FBI.

SCULLY: 

I can guess who you're with.

DRUMMY: 

The FBI urgently needs to speak with Fox Mulder.

SCULLY: 

I don't work with Fox Mulder any longer. 

I don't work with the FBI.

DRUMMY: 

Well, if you could contact him, 

it might just Save The Life 

of an FBI Agent.

Later, Scully drives down a country road and turns into a lane blocked by a metal gate. 

She opens this and continues driving up the long track to a house. 

She enters the house, into a cluttered living room. 

She undoes her coat, then goes into another room which has press cuttings all over the walls. 

Mulder is sat at a desk with his back to her.

MULDER: 

What's up, Doc?

SCULLY: 

You've become awfully trusting Mulder, 

for a man wanted by the FBI.

MULDER: 

Eyes in the back of my head, Scully. 

"Auf einer Wellenlänge",

 as The Germans say. 

It's a precognitive state often confused with simple human intuition, 

in which the brain perceives 

The Deep Logic underlying transitory Human Existence, 

unaided by The Conscious Mind, 

materializing much as you did just now. 

Though if you'd actually materialized, 

you'd be rapidly de-materializing. 

But Who Believes 

that crap anymore?

Mulder has been cutting out another newspaper article. 

Then he stands and faces her, smiling.

He's dressed in casual clothes, and has a beard.

SCULLY: 

Well, they do at the FBI apparently. 

I had a visitor today, Mulder. 

The FBI want your help finding a missing agent.

Mulder pins the newspaper article, "Princeton closes ESP lab after 40 years of paranormal study" on the board next to his I Want To Believe poster.

MULDER: 

Well, I hope you told them go screw themselves.

SCULLY: 

They say all is forgiven. 

That they'll drop all charges against you if you come in 

and help them solve this case.

MULDER: 

The FBI will forgive me. 

They put me on trial on bogus charges 

and tried to discredit a decade of my work, 

they should be asking me for my forgiveness, Scully.

SCULLY: 

I think they are. 

Desperately.

MULDER:

How can I possibly help these people?

Mulder sits down.

SCULLY: 

Someone's come forward with some promising evidence.

A psychic, he claims.

MULDER: 

It's A Trick, Scully, 

to smoke me out.

SCULLY: 

Mulder, if the FBI wanted to get you,

I have no doubt that they could. 

I think they've just been happy 

to have you out of their hair.

MULDER: 

Oh good, because I am just as happy, 

having them out of mine.

SCULLY: 

A Young Agent's Life is at stake. 

Mulder, I know 

I don't have to say this, 

but it could have been you once, or me. 

You know, The Truth is, 

I worry about you, 

and the effects of long-term isolation.

Mulder chuckles.

MULDER: 

I'm fine, here — 

Happy as a clam.

Mulder eats a sunflower seed. 

Scully looks up at the ceiling which has many pencils embedded in it.

SCULLY: 

I'll Tell Them Your Answer.

She leaves the room. 

Mulder looks at the closed door 

on which there are many press cuttings, 

plus a photograph of young Samantha — 

Looking at him.

MULDER: 

Shit.

He opens the door.

MULDER: 

Okay, I'll go. 

Under one condition.

Scully sighs. 

A helicopter. 

Mulder holds open the door for Scully. 

After they are both seated inside, 

the helicopter takes off.

SCENE 23
TEXAS-NEW MEXICO BORDER
5:07 AM

The SUV driven by MULDER makes it was down the road. 

It pulls off to the side.

MULDER cuts the engine, leans toward SCULLY who is sleeping and gently kisses her cheek. He gets out of the car.)

MULDER unzips his pants and relieves himself, when ...

FROHIKE'S GHOST : 

Hey, hot shot! 

You might have the common courtesy 

of doing Your Business there downwind.

MULDER: 

Oh, boy.

LANGLY'S GHOST: 

Why don't you just finish draining 

the little lizard 

and then we'll talk?

BYER'S GHOST: 

We're very worried about you.

FROHIKE'S GHOST: 

It's craziness, man. Turn around.

LANGLEY'S GHOST:

Just hang a big U-ie and never look back.

MULDER: 

I can't.

BYER'S GHOST: 

Why risk Perfect Happiness, Mulder? 

Why risk your lives?

MULDER: 

Because I need to 

Know The Truth.

BYER'S GHOST: 

You already know The Truth.

MULDER thinks about that one for a moment. 

When he responds, its with complete honesty 

at what he's really doing there.

MULDER: 

I need to know if I can change it.

LANGLY'S GHOST: 

Change it?

FROHIKE'S GHOST: 

For crying out loud --

All you're going to do is

 get yourself killed.

From behind him, SCULLY 

got out of the car to look 

for MULDER.

SCULLY: 

Mulder! What are you doing?

MULDER: 

I'll be right with you, Scully.

They both get back into the car.
