Disclaimer: "Honestly, baby! They're not mine!" --------------------------------------------------------------- "Mulder!?" "Mulder, it's me.' "Hey! Scully! To what do I owe this late night call?" "George Orwell." "The author?" "Himself." "Speak up, Scully. I can't read minds anymore." "I just finished reading '1984'." "Is it any good?" "It's so-so." "Scully... I'm not psychic..." "Well... I was calling to read out a small part that reminded me of you. Is that okay with you?" "Yeah. Sure. Go ahead." " 'There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.' " " 'Sanity is not statistical.' " "Mulder? You cheat!" "Hey! You're not the only one who reads books! How about another excerpt?" " 'They can make you say anything - anything - but they can't make you believe it.' " "Really good. I loved that part too." "Your turn." " 'I think I exist. I am conscious of my own identity. I was born, and I shall die. I have arms and legs. I occupy a particular point in space. No other solid object can occupy the same point simultaneously.' " "In good words: 'I think therefore I am!' " "Something like that..." "Hmmm..." "Hmmm..." "Hey! Mulder?" "Yes, Scully." "We should start a reading club." "Not a bad idea... But, I'd prefer sticking to our late night talks." "That's a better idea." "Hmmm..." "Hmmm..." "Hey! Scully?" "Yes, Mulder." "I forgot what I wanted to say." "In that case... Good night, Mulder." "Sweet dreams, Scully."
