Scully: Mulder, there is no scientific evidence available to authenticate the likely existence of anything resembling a half human/half-fish creature such as a mermaid.
Mulder: Shut up and kiss me, Scully.
Scully: I thought you wanted to explore the case of the missing men and these mermaid sightings.
Mulder: Right now I just want to watch your red lips form the word ‘mermaid‘ over and over again.
(smiles wickedly)
Scully: Mulder, you’re exasperatingly incorrigible.
Mulder: So…encourage me. Say ”mermaid”. But reeal slow.
Scully: Can we please get back to the case of the missing men?
Mulder: Scully, would you give up your tail to…um…for me?
Scully: Well, I’ve already given up my credibility as a serious scientist, so why not? Would you give up your legs if I was…I can’t believe I’m having this discussion….one of those creatures?
Mulder: Those ‘creatures’ are called mermaids. And, yes, I would swim into the dark ocean depths after giving up at least two of my legs…(wicked chuckle) for you, Dana.
Scully: (eye roll) And that, folks, is why they call him Fox….
The truth is out there…..
You captured a humorous scene and showing a less subtle, more overt side of Mulder. I always enjoy your part of the conversation on the bar posts, Cheryl. 😀

Thanks Deborah. I was just cleaning closets and found these figures that were among my son’s old toy figures. Speaking of closets, I am a closet Duchovney fan, warts and all. This little scene just sort of popped into my head. I worried all night I might offend some of my followers. But I yam what I yam. 😀
