"What are you doing, Mulder?"

"Checking Ephemeral."

"Again?"

"It's an integral part of my day.  Tsk, tsk.  Look at this, Scully.
People have been rec'ing their own stories again."

"How do you know?"

"It's just so obvious.  I mean, first of all, WIPs rarely get that
percentage of recs -- and certainly not WIPs where I'm described as
'dyeing.'"

"Maybe it was a typo."

"They used it multiple times!"

"Are you suggesting that there is a conspiracy to write fiction about
you changing your hair color?"

"Are you suggesting that the Consortium is uninterested in my
coiffure?"

"Not everything is about you, Mulder.  Hey, look at this!"

"What?"

"This isn't a story at all.  It's someone *looking* for a story."

"But I thought that wasn't *allowed* at Ephemeral.  Don't people
follow rules anymore?"

"Says the man who tore pages out of the Bureau's back issues of 'The
Sporting News'."

"I'm talking about *important* rules."

"Maybe they didn't know."

"Ignorance is no excuse.  Look at all this time I have to waste,
clicking on falsely-rec'ed stories and people looking for stories.
All I want is the *good* stuff."

"The good stuff."

"Yeah!  You know, where you and I...uh..."

"Go ahead, keep talking."

"...uphold laws that protect the inalienable rights of every citizen
born in this great nation, so that they might experience their sweet
freedom to the fullest!"

"If you weren't dyeing, I would slap you upside the head."

"Ooooh!  Look at *this* one!"

"What?"

"Scully, I think this one has definite possibilities."

"Mulder!"

"Oh, c'mon, Scully.  It's just a story.  No harm, no foul, right?"

"First of all, Mulder, Agent Reyes is *not* my type --"

"But --"

"And *second* of all, if you think Reyes or *anyone* would think a
woman who's nine months pregnant and in early labor is sexy, let
alone *interested* in sex, you're --"

"Scully?"

"What?"

"Who *is* your type?"

"I hope that's a rhetorical question, Mulder."

"Hey, you've read fanfic.  You know how insecure I am."

"And you've *also* read fanfic, so you know how easily annoyed *I*
am."

"Sorry."

"And you also know who William's father is."

"Yeah.  Although I *still* say he wasn't a Season 7 character."

"Life begins at conception, Mulder.  So shut up, turn off the
computer, and let's see if we can hit NC-17 again."

"Oooh, Scully -- you *know* what I like!"
