The X-Files: Fight The Future1998

Clerk:
ID and floor you're visiting, please.

Mulder:
We're going down to the morgue.

Clerk:
That area is currently off limits to anyone other than authorized medical personel.

Mulder:
On whose orders?

Clerk:
General McAddie.

Mulder:
(signs the book) General McAddie is who requested our coming down here. We were awakened at three AM and told to get down here immediately.

Clerk:
I don't know anything about that.

Mulder:
Well, call General McAddie. (starts to walk away)

Clerk:
I don't have the number.

Mulder:
(stops) Well, then call the switchboard, they'll patch you through.

[Clerk fumbles through papers.]

Mulder:
Jesus, you don't know the switchboard number?

Clerk:
I'm calling my C.O. (Picks up the phone on his desk, Mulder puts his hand on the receiver's button, cutting him off.)

Mulder:
Listen, son, we don't have time to dick around while you demonstrate your ignorance of the chain of command. The order came directly from General McAddie, you call him. We'll conduct our business while you confirm authorization.

(Mulder and Scully walk off, leaving the clerk standing with his phone in his hand; clerk seems to believe Mulder]

Clerk:
Why don't you head on down and I'll confirm authorization.

Mulder:
Thank you.
