MULDER: Hey kids, who wants to see some magic tricks?
JOHN: Are you sure about this Fox?
MULDER: I'm an expert man
SKINNER: (laughing) Yeah right!
The kids gather around them while Scully is looking at them through the window
SCULLY: Oh god!
MARGARET: What is it honey?
SCULLY: Mulder and his magic show, I hope the kids don't get bored.
MARGARET: Don't say that, Fox has a gift with kids
Monica and Scully laugh, but Maggie is right, he has.
MONICA: I never thought Mulder could be like this
SCULLY: Like this how?
MONICA: So good as a father and husband, he's not a very traditional man
SCULLY: (laughing) I know, he is better that I could ever imagine
MARGARET: I knew he was good since the beginning
SCULLY: (raising an eyebrow) Really?
MARGARET: Well, he was so worried for you after your first abduction, he has always loved you

SCULLY: Yes I know baby, it's answering you
WILLIAM: Hi little baby, I'm outside waiting for you. She can hear me, right mommy?
SCULLY: Yes honey... now go back outside, your dad is doing the magic show for you
WILLIAM: I know all his tricks already
SCULLY: I know, but he will be sad if he doesn't see you
WILLIAM: Alright (to the belly) Bye sister!

MONICA: He is really in love with the baby
SCULLY: Yeah, and I'm grateful for that
MARGARET: When will you know the sex

SCULLY: I don't think so
MARGARET: Okay, let's bring these trays out and enjoy the magic show before Fox gets more angry, you need to try and work less Dana, ok?
SCULLY: I'm trying
