This scene from +The X-Files revival where Scully stares at the "Don't Give Up" message is, like many things in the show, shrouded in mystery. The primary question is, who wrote it, and why.
I watched I Want To Believe again last night as the final viewing of all +The X-Files material produced before the new season starts and "don't give up" is this phrase Father Joe says to Scully for reasons unknown to him but which push Scully to not only go out and rescue Mulder but to continue with his treatment of the young boy Christian.
Ironically, this is something that Scully herself tells Mulder in the season 9 finale when they hang out in that motel room on the run from the government when Mulder has lost the will to continue knowing about the invasion and the futility to continue his quest for the truth.
But between these layers I see a message from Chris Carter himself to us X-Philes, telling us not to give up on the show because he hasn't given up himself, and now we're all better off for it because the show is coming back.
So I'm sure there's a deeper message within the episode this scribble on a dirty car appears in but we'll only get to find out because we never gave up. That's my take on it anyway.

Chris Carter already had made the scripts for the 3rd film, if I'm not mistaken
+Floora Sæther that's what he said and he was going to use that for the new series but his wife gave him the idea for this new direction so there's effectively an unused script for a third movie (we've known that for years by the way) but whether it'll ever be made is a different story.
Yeah and honestly I need the 3rd film, since the 2nd film wasn't as good as the first one, this is my opinion, kind of disappointed.
but why though? What's better about having a third film that can't be achieved through the new season?
I think the second film was a try to taste the audience. It was time after the series, we didn't know about Scully&Mulder since years but everybody, audience, crew, Carter wanted to came back on that character. It would be useless or meaningless to put down on the table the mythology: it had a sort of conclusion at the end of the series and they didn't know if there will be time, a series or something other after the second movie to go on with it.
The first movie was on the wave of the series, it's a long episode ed it's bettween two season, it's not a stand-alone adventure, which is the second movie.
I'd like the second movie, it comes after years, I can't pretend to have something about the mythology: it's a stand-alone adventure as much it has to be.
I've always loved that show. I'm glad it's coming back!
