The X-Files, Season 2

[Dana Scully, comatose, has a dream of her lying on a table - Her deceased father appears in full Navy dress uniform]

William Scully:
Hello, Starbuck. It's Ahab. ..People would say to me "Life is short." "Kids, they grow up fast - Before you know it, it's over." I never listened. Me - Life went at a proper pace. There were many rewards... till the moment that... I knew.. I understood that... I would never see you again. My little girl. Then my life felt as if had been the length of one breath.. one heartbeat. I never knew how much I loved my daughter until I could never tell her... At that moment I would have traded every medal, every commendation, every promotion for just one more second with you... We'll be together again, Starbuck. Not now. Soon.

[William Scully turns, walks away into darkness]
