Scully:
Yesterday morning, when I arrived at work, you were... characterstically exuberant.

Mulder:
(slams tickets down on the desk excitedly) Hope you brought your cowboy boots!

Scully:
You want us to go to Dallas?

Mulder:
Yee-haw! Actually a town called Cheney, about 50 miles south of there. Population: 361. By all accounts, very rustic and charming. But as of late, ground zero, the locus for a series of mysterious nocturnal exsanguinations.

Scully:
You're not gonna tell me this is that Mexican goat sucker.

Mulder:
El Chupacabra? No, they've got four fangs, not two. And they suck goats, hence the name.

Scully:
So instead this would be...?

Mulder:
Classic vampirism.

Scully:
Of a bunch of cows?

Mulder:
And one dead human! Last night - a vacationer from New Jersey- come on, we gotta go. [Grabs his coat and runs off]

Scully:
Why the hell didn't you tell me that from the beginning?!

Mulder:
(from offscreen) Lock the door on your way out!

Scully:
(sighs)
