Mulder: (dumb-struck by Ray's las response to Scully) Like wise.
Ray left and an air of silence filled the room. Mulder himself decided to break it.
Mulder: So, you've had an interesting morning haven't you?
Scully: I should say…what about you, what have you done?
Mulder: (with a bit of pride) Oh, here and there you know. Finished some paper work…organized some files.
Dana turned around and gave him a smirk.
Scully: Oh, I'm sure you have; It's sooo very noticeable.
Under no circumstance was Mulder's statement believable; The office was a wreck-as it usually was. He would have probably been throwing more sharpened pencils at the ceiling if it weren't for her arrival.
Mulder: So did you give in your report this morning?
Scully: Umjum.
Mulder: Good. By the way, I need you to be at the lab at 7 o'clock sharp. I need you to check up on the…
Scully: (breaks in) Tonight?
Mulder: (looks toward her) Yeah why?
Scully: I can't tonight. I have to go somewhere.
Mulder: Oh, your mom's?
Scully: (waited a bit to answer) No…not really.
Mulder stopped looking through papers to look at her.
Scully: I have to accompany Ray to this thing, a type of seminar I think.
Mulder: But you usually hate seminars.
Scully: Yeah, but I am doing it for him…as a favor.
Mulder: …oh…
Scully: Is that ok with you? I mean, I promise I'll get on it in the morning.
Mulder: No, no. It's okay. Just go have fun or…educated…whatever.
Scully: Thanks, I owe you one.
