A play in one act
The phone rings.
Me: Hello?
Dad: So Agent Scully's in a coma...
Me: Hi, Dad.
Dad: And Mulder's trying to find whoever put her in the coma. And there's this guy -- Frohan, Frodo...
Me: Frohike.
Dad: Right, Frohike. Is this a two-parter? Because I don't like two-parters.
Me: They've shown Scully in the boat, right?
Dad: Yup, boat.
Me: It's called "One Breath," and it's at the end of the abduction arc. Well, the first one, the one with Duane Barry. Anyway, no, there's not another part after this one.
Dad: Great! What season is this?
Me: Mid-second.
There is a lengthy pause
Dad: The X Files used to be good.
Me: Yes it did. Call me if you have any more questions.
Dad: Uh-huh.
