The X-Files, Season 8

[Skinner, in a tshirt, opens his door to see Scully standing outside. She's been crying.]

Scully:
(weakly) What if he's dead? (He doesn't respond; she's embarrassed) I'm sorry. I just had a bad dream.

Skinner:
(pauses) Let me get some clothes on. (She nods; he closes the door then comes out to join her in the parking lot.)

Scully:
I once had a talk with Mulder about starlight. How it's billions of years old. (Both of them look upwards.) Stars that are now long dead whose light is still traveling through time. It won't die, that light. (Skinner watches her as she looks up.) Maybe that's the only thing that never does. He said that's where souls reside. I hope he's right.

Skinner:
(long pause; he puts his arm around her shoulders) If you're trying to prepare yourself I want you to stop. Nothing says that we're going to stumble over him in some field. Nothing says he won't be fine.

[Scully nods, then she turns and buries her face in his chest, sobbing; he holds her and strokes her hair.]
