Apocrypha


To aggravate the crime of trespassing Mulder indulges in a little breaking and entering.

Mulder:  Scully, it's me.  The 2 guards you had posted in front of Skinner's room, are they still there?

Scully:  They should be, why?

Mulder:  I want you to get down there and double check for me, ok?

Scully:  I got it covered Mulder.

Mulder:  Just get down there and check, ok?

This is exactly what I've been talking about.  Mulder barks orders, he never says "please" and he always expects Scully to go along with him without an explanation.  Now we both know that if the conversation were reversed Mulder would be demanding an explanation.  That's what makes him a Punk!

General Punkesque Behavior

Once again Mulder appears to have forgotten who he's dealing with.  Why did he agree to meet the Well-Manicured Man alone?  The man does ally himself with a group of men willing to stop at nothing to keep their secrets.  And even when they'd last met the man admitted to helping only for his own selfish reasons.  Did it never occur to Mulder that the man may try to kill him?

Barking orders at Scully again:  There's this word that makes doing favors for other less onerous.  It's called "please."  You might want to try using it once in awhile.

Criminal Activity

Trespassing:  Abandoned or no the U.S. government doesn't like nosy FBI agents (or nosy civilians of any kind for that matter) snooping around it's property uninvited.
