8-08alienbaby.wav
DUFFY HASKELL: Kath was a multiple abductee. The aliens did these procedures on her. Tests and whatnot. One procedure would give her cancer while another one would cure her. Stuff like that. For years, you see. And then, this year, they came right into our bedroom and implanted an alien embryo in Kath.
SCULLY: I don't suppose that you have any, uh, medical proof of this.
DUFFY HASKELL: I have an ultrasound here. Anyone with a trained eye can see that is a bizarre pregnancy. Especially for a woman who was never supposed to be able to conceive. I doubt you'd ever get the doctors to cop to any of that.
SCULLY: What doctors?
DUFFY HASKELL: We've been through three sets. They're all in on it. They're all in cahoots.
SCULLY: So you're... saying that it was the doctors that killed your wife?
DUFFY HASKELL: And stole the alien baby. That ultrasound is proof.

8-08story.wav
SCULLY: Thank you, Agent Doggett. I'm sure the rest of my afternoon can't possibly be so amusing.
DOGGETT: I thought you'd find it interesting, actually.
SCULLY: Interesting? As in preposterous and outrageous?
DOGGETT: Well, unless I'm mistaken you already knew that man's story. The abduction the tests, a bout with cancer then a remission.
SCULLY: What exactly are you getting at?
DOGGETT: That's your story, Agent Scully. I'd say right down to a tee. I mean, except for the pregnancy. It's all right there in the X-Files.
SCULLY: Well, I appreciate your thoroughness, Agent Doggett, and your familiarity with the X-Files cases in those cabinets, but my personal files are my personal files. Okay?
DOGGETT: Sure, of course.

8-08appointment.wav
MULDER: There you are. I've been looking all over for you.
SCULLY: Hi. Um, I'm sorry. I had a doctor's appointment and, um, I don't know, I guess time just got away from me.

8-08not_ready.wav
MULDER: Is anything the matter?
SCULLY: Nothing. No, I just, uh... I went for a walk.
MULDER: Mmm. Then what's wrong?
SCULLY: I'm... I'm sorry I haven't told you. I don't know why I haven't. I mean, you were always there for me during my illness but, um...
MULDER: Don't make me guess.
SCULLY: I was left unable to conceive with whatever test that they did on me. And I am not ready to accept that I will never have children.

8-08opinion.wav
MULDER: Scully, there's, um, there's something I haven't told you either and I hope you, uh, forgive me and understand why I would have kept it from you.
SCULLY: What?
MULDER: During my investigation into your illness I found out the reason why you were left barren. Your ova were taken from you and stored in a government lab.
SCULLY: What? You found them?
MULDER: I-I took them directly to a specialist who would tell me if they were okay.
SCULLY: I don't believe this.
MULDER: Scully, you were deathly ill, and I... I couldn't bear to give you another piece of bad news.
SCULLY: Is that what it was? It was bad news?
MULDER: The doctor said that the ova weren't viable.
SCULLY: I want a second opinion.

8-08ditz.wav
DOGGETT: Agent Scully? What are you doing?

8-08afraid.wav
DR. PARENTI: Dana? What's wrong?
SCULLY: I'm afraid.
DR. PARENTI: Tell me what it is.
SCULLY: I want you to look at something for me. Right away. It's an ultrasound.
DR. PARENTI: Well, I'm not in my office right now. Can you send it over there? I'll look at it as soon as possible.
SCULLY: I want you to compare it to mine.

8-082good2btrue.wav
DR. PARENTI: Ms. Scully? Got a good report for you. I've looked at the ova you've given me and consulted with some of my colleagues. We all feel that with the proper approach we might be successful. Got a good chance to get you pregnant.
SCULLY: Oh... It's too good to be true.

8-08right_away.wav
DR. PARENTI: I don't want to lay odds but it's not out of the realm of possibility if we start soon.
SCULLY: We can start right away?
DR. PARENTI: Well, you need a father, of course. I can get you genetic counseling on finding an anonymous donor if that's what you want... unless you already have someone in mind.
SCULLY: Yeah... I, uh... I just have to figure out how to ask him.

8-08father.wav
DR. PARENTI: Well, you need a father, of course. I can get you genetic counseling on finding an anonymous donor if that's what you want... unless you already have someone in mind.

8-08complications.wav
DR. PARENTI: I looked at this ultrasound you sent me and... I don't know what I'm supposed to be seeing but it looks fine to me. As does your own ultrasound.
SCULLY: You didn't see anything strange?
DR. PARENTI: Why do you ask that?
SCULLY: I just want to be sure. I've had... complications.
DR. PARENTI: It's normal to be worried.

8-08showing_soon.wav
DR. PARENTI: Your only concern right now is when you're going to tell the FBI. Can't keep it a secret forever, Dana. You're going to start showing soon.

8-08my_doc.wav
DOGGETT: Agent Scully, I just got a call from a Dr. Parenti's office. About an ultrasound you left there this morning.
SCULLY: Dr. Parenti is my doctor.
DOGGETT: Come on, Agent Scully.
SCULLY: You don't believe me?
DOGGETT: That ultrasound is the one Duffy Haskell left here yesterday. Dr. Parenti is one of the doctors he consulted with during the course of that pregnancy.

8-08investigating.wav
SCULLY: Excuse me, Agent Doggett, but are you investigating me?
DOGGETT: No, I was doing a background check on Mr. And Mrs. Haskell before I dropped the case, like you asked me to do.
SCULLY: No, I didn't ask you to drop the case. I said there was nothing to do.
DOGGETT: Well, if there's nothing to do, then why are you investigating?
SCULLY: You are jumping to conclusions.
DOGGETT: No, I'm just trying to do my job, only it gets hard to do if the person you're working with is keeping secrets and telling lies.
SCULLY: I am not investigating these people, Agent Doggett.

8-08lies.wav

SCULLY: Obviously you've had some time to think about my request.
MULDER: Um, it's... it's not something that I get asked to do every day. Um, but I am absolutely flattered. No, honestly.
SCULLY: Okay, if... if you're trying to politely say "no," it's okay. I, I understand.
MULDER: See what's weird is... this sounds, and this sounds really weird, I know, but I, I just wouldn't want this to come between us.
SCULLY: Yeah. I know... I, I understand. I do.
MULDER: Well ... the answer is "yes."

8-08pro.wav
SCULLY: I assume that he'll want to meet you and go through the, uh, the donor procedure.
MULDER: At that part, I'm a pro.

8-08thanks.wav
DOGGETT: You going somewhere?
SCULLY: Yes.
DOGGETT: Am I missing something here?
SKINNER: Agent Doggett as Assistant Director in charge of your assignment Agent Scully has come to me and asked to take a leave of absence.

8-08spook.wav

8-08killing_time.wav
KNOWLE ROHRER: What did he say he wanted?
DOGGETT: He wanted us to investigate the murder of his wife. He claims she was an alien abductee. Look... I don't buy this crap but if the guy's CIA he wasn't just in my office killing time.

8-08hide_truth.wav
KNOWLE ROHRER: Why go to the trouble at all?
DOGGETT: All I can think is that there must be documentation in our files of a conspiracy to hide the truth.
KNOWLE ROHRER: About what, extraterrestrials?
DOGGETT: Look, it's not my work. It's the woman I work with-- an Agent Scully.

8-08setup.wav
DOGGETT: Scully-- do you know where she is? How to alert her right away?
SKINNER: To what?
DOGGETT: I think she's been misled. We all have by this man,Haskell.
SKINNER: You think or you know?
DOGGETT: I can't get a straight answer on that which leads me to believe that this was a setup from the start-- that this guy Haskell came to us with his story to get Agent Scully to go wherever she's gone.
SKINNER: I can tell you that she's in a safe place, Agent Doggett. A hospital.
DOGGETT: What hospital? Look, this involves doctors. Doctors who may have killed pregnant women. Now, a hospital could be the worst place in the world for her. Tell me where Scully is.

8-08switched.wav
SCULLY: Oh, my god. They switched it. Agent Doggett, they switched it on her.
DOGGETT: It's over, Agent Scully.
SCULLY: No, it's not. We can prove this.
DOGGETT: We can't prove anything. They say you overreacted to everything. They say you overreacted to fears you had about Ms. Hendershot's pregnancy, to the fears you had about your own.

8-08cover.wav
SCULLY: Well, then who were those men?
DOGGETT: They acted off information that came from me. They say they saved your life. How can I question that, standing here?
