Subject: WE NEVER REALLY TALK (1/1) by Nessie
From: <zcapr59@ucl.ac.uk>
--------

TITLE: We never really talk.. (1/1)
AUTHOR: Nessie
E-MAIL: zcapr59@ucl.ac.uk
DISTRIBUTION: anywhere, just keep Nessie as the author.

SPOILERS: none. Despite the title, it's non-potato. Feel safe.

RATING: PG13, for language and a bit of adult innuendo

CONTENT: The religious beliefs of Mulder and Scully are discussed
here- no offence is meant towards anyones beliefs. It's not MSR- oh
no.. but it gets quite flirty. Mild swearing.

CLASSIFICATION: V, H

SUMMARY: Mulder and Scully discuss beliefs.. and more.

ABOUT THIS STORY: Okay folks.. This was written in a physics
lesson! It stemmed from a conversation I'd just had with a friend (well
the first bit is anyway. If you're interested, the Mulder part was me).
You see, I like to *think* that I have a unique ability for simultaneously
writing fanfic and listening to the ramblings of a physics teacher. But I
think I'm just kidding myself...
I thought I ought to give a mention to Jo (the poet), who will recognise
the in-joke here; she calls me a callous cow. She's just soppy..

This is written in playscript: (a) because I couldn't be bothered with all
the inbetween story bits (b)like Roky Crikenson of Jose Chung's, I'm a
bit psychotic and it just goes to make my story all the less credible (c)
to make it easier for CC when he films this as an episode.
<haha>
Ah well, the truth is, it's just a lighthearted heap of crap. Not even a
plot.. just a l'il light entertainment..
I'm takin' a short break from fairytales, but I'll be back with it soon..

DISCLAIMER: Mulder and Scully are the abused and neglected
uberchildren of Chris Carter. I mean, what sort of a creator causes
such *pain* to his characters? I call it sadistic.

WE NEVER REALLY TALK
From Nessie

SCULLY: The sky's so blue today...
MULDER: Yeah, but look how grey the clouds are.
SCULLY: No they're not, they're white.
MULDER: They're *grey*
SCULLY: Off-white.
MULDER: Are we looking at the same cloud?
SCULLY: You are such a pessimist
MULDER: Am not. It's grey.
SCULLY: That's just a shadow.
MULDER: A shadow? Of *what*?
SCULLY: Of... God.
MULDER: <snorts> What *God*?
SCULLY: You don't believe in God?
MULDER: I believe in plenty of things.. bu-
SCULLY: *REALLY?* I hadn't noticed.
MULDER: Oh, you are just sooooo sarcastic.
SCULLY: But seriously Mulder, how come you find it so easy to believe
in the most *ridiculous* theories..
MULDER: They are NOT ridiculous.
SCULLY: They are; your beliefs are almost childlike.
MULDER: CHI- <speechless>
SCULLY: ... Yet why won't you just open up and believe in God?
MULDER: Look at it Scully. It's mean we would actually *agree* on
something. Can you picture that?
SCULLY: Do we agree on anything?
MULDER: The truth is out there. You can't deny that.
SCULLY: Can't I?
MULDER: Damn it... Anyway, I could turn the tables and ask *you* why
you find it so hard to believe when all the evidence is in front of you,
yet you have such faith in this God of yours.
SCULLY: I- I can't explain that.
MULDER:Weeeeeeelllll.. this is a first. <mimicking in a high voice>
"There has to be a rational explanation.." <she stamps on his foot>
Yeeeeooooooowwwww!!!
SCULLY: It's just a feeling I have.
MULDER: *You* have feelings?
SCULLY: <indignantly> Plenty.
MULDER: <slyly> Name some.
SCULLY: <hesitates> I hate my partner. He's a jerk.
MULDER: Ooh.. mortally offended.. Any *nice* feelings?
SCULLY: Um... It's a beautiful day?
MULDER: Oh no it- hey, I think we've already been down that road.
<silence>.. I got a *real* nice feeling...
SCULLY: I don't think I wanna *hear* about that <wrinkles her nose;
he punches her arm> Hey! That hurt!
MULDER: It's snowing... yeuch, it's all coold..
SCULLY: It's beautiful..
MULDER: Soppy cow.
SCULLY: Callous bastard.
MULDER: It's May, damnit. It should be WARM!!!
SCULLY: You know, freak weather conditions-
MULDER: STOP! You're blinding me with science!
SCULLY: Just appreciate the snow Mulder. You know, with global
warming at its current rate of increase-
MULDER: I said STOPPIT!!!
SCULLY: Okay, okay... Now come to think of it, it is a little chilly..
MULDER: Y'know, there's room in this coat for..
SCULLY: Don't even *think* about it Mulder.
MULDER: You can ride in the pocket if your little *feet* get sore.. <she
kicks his shin> OUCH! With heels too!!!
SCULLY: You know Mulder, sometimes you REALLY remind me of
Frohike.
MULDER: Don't be stupid. You can see over Frohike's shoulder.. on a
good day.
SCULLY: What I mean is.. you *leer*.
MULDER: I do NOT  leer.
SCULLY: Do too
MULDER: Do not.
SCULLY: Do too
MULDER: Do not
SCULLY: Do too
MULDER: Do not
SCULLY: STOP!! How old are we?
MULDER: Anyway, so what if I leer? It's not as if you don't check out
my butt when my back's turned..
SCULLY: <sharply> How do you know that? <blushes>
MULDER: Ha! Caught you out there! Well.. *all* the women do.
SCULLY: Oh so I *am* a woman then?
MULDER: Last time I checked.
SCULLY: MULDER!!!!!
MULDER: <laughing> Just kidding! Anyway, about my butt..
SCULLY: <exasperated> What *about* your butt?
MULDER: I mean.. what... what do you- um- think?
SCULLY: <raises one eyebrow> About your *butt*?
MULDER: Uh- yeah.. I mean, as a *woman*, how does it- uh- measure
up?
SCULLY: Measure up??? <the corner of her mouth twitches> Well..
obviously I have yet to see it unclothed..
MULDER: <eyes light up> Yet?
SCULLY: Joke, Mulder...
MULDER: But what do you think of it though?
SCULLY: a-hah.. you really think I'd tell you?
MULDER: Scully.. you look so good in a trousersuit.
SCULLY: Flattery will get you nowhere Mulder.
MULDER: Who says I'm trying to get anywhere?
SCULLY: It's written in that smirk on your face.
MULDER: <smirking> Smirk? What smirk?
SCULLY: Oh for gods sake Mulder..
MULDER: God again.. He just keeps on coming out in conversation.
What, so you really think this guy exists?
SCULLY: More that little green men do, yes.
MULDER: I told you once and I'll tell you again- Reticulans are
characteristically grey in colour due to-
SCULLY: Okay okay..
MULDER: Whereas, you know *nothing* about this guy you call God.
What does he look like? Where does he live? You don't know. And yet
you worship him Scully.
SCULLY: Jealous Mulder? And- like- you know *everything* about
these Reticulans.
MULDER: Want every last detail?
SCULLY: Okay, stupid thing to say. But you know.. sometimes those
things just aren't important.
MULDER: Do you care what *I* look like?
SCULLY: Not really..
MULDER: Do you care where I live?
SCULLY: So long as it's not in my apartment block..
MULDER: But you worship me, right?
SCULLY: ???!!!
MULDER: Right? <pause> Oh. <pause> I thought this worship thing
we had was kinda mutual..
SCULLY: Sorry. You just took me aback with what you just said..
MULDER: Why?
SCULLY: It was so.. spooky..
MULDER: Huh?
SCULLY: Like you can read my thoughts. I never told you about the-
um- shrine, did I?
MULDER: Shrine?
SCULLY: My- um- Mulder shrine.
MULDER: <starry-eyed> Oh *Scully*...
SCULLY: Yeah.. photoes.. motel and restaurant receipts..
MULDER: I'm so glad, Scully.. cos you have to know. I've devoted a
corner of my apartment to you.. <he blushes> -strands of your hair..
scraps from your trashcan..
SCULLY: Mulder.. I was *joking*.
MULDER: Oh. <pause> I wasn't.
SCULLY: Mulder....
MULDER: It's okay..
SCULLY: Actually, now you mention it, you remind me a little of my
closet..
MULDER: <eyes brighten> Really? Let me guess- dark. Alluring. Its
rightful place is in your bedroom..
SCULLY: No Mulder.. Smells of PERFUME. Rather spooky. And
TOTALLY MESSED UP.
MULDER: Oh. Thanks.
