Day 7: Happiest scene
I had a few happy scenes in my head (although not much), but I've chosen this one because they seem so relaxed in it... as if they are slowly coming to terms with what they feel for each other, although they don't say it, I feel like "it's in the air".
There's more in that scene than just friendship.
'THE UNNATURAL'
SCULLY: So, uh... I get this message marked "urgent" on my answering service from one Fox Mantle
telling me to come down to the park for a very special very early or very late birthday present.
And, Mulder... I don't see any nicely wrapped presents lying around so, what gives?
MULDER: You've never hit a baseball, have you, Scully?
SCULLY: No, I guess I have, uh... found more necessary things to do with
my time than slap a piece of horsehide with a stick.
MULDER: Get over here, Scully.
(MULDER holds the bat out for her. SCULLY walks over and takes it. MULDER
steps behind her and wraps his arms around her tightly, also holding the bat around her hands.)
SCULLY: (warily, not thrilled) This my birthday present, Mulder? You shouldn't have.
MULDER: This ain't cheap. I'm paying that kid ten bucks an hour to shag balls.
(...)
MULDER: Hey, it's not a bad piece of ash, huh?
(SCULLY gives him a "Look.")
MULDER: The bat-talking about the bat. Now, don't strangle it. You just want to shake hands with it.
"Hello, Mr. Bat. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." "Oh, no, no, Ms. Scully. The pleasure's all mine."
(SCULLY laughs as their hands grip the bat.)
MULDER: Okay, now, we want to... we want to go hips before hands, okay?
(holds his hand a few inches from her hip)
We want to stride forward and turn. That's all we're thinking about.
So, we go hips... before hands, all right?
(He gingerly touches her hip and with his hands and his own hips
pressed against her, turns her the right way.)
SCULLY: Okay.
MULDER: One more time.
(He touches and turns her hips more confidently.)
MULDER: Hips... before hands, all right?
SCULLY: Yeah.
MULDER: What is it?
SCULLY: Hips before hands.
MULDER: (speaking right into her ear) Right. We're going to wait on the pitch. We're going to
keep our eye on the ball.Then, we're just going to make contact. We're not going to think.
We're just going to let it fly, Scully, okay?
SCULLY: Mm-hmm.
MULDER: Ready?
(MULDER tries to readjust their grips on the bat. Momentary hand struggle between them.)
SCULLY: I'm in the middle.
(She gets her hands back between his. They are both grinning - very cute.)
MULDER: All right, fire away, Poorboy.
(A ball comes to them and they hit it. It goes way foul.)
MULDER: Ooh! That's good. All right, what you may find is you concentrate on hitting that little ball...
The rest of the world just fades away-- all your everyday, nagging concerns.
(Scully giggles. They hit the ball again.)
MULDER: The ticking of your biological clock.
(Another hit.)
MULDER: How you probably couldn't afford that nice, new suede coat on a G-Woman's salary.
(Another hit.)
MULDER: How you threw away a promising career in medicine... (intimately into her ear)
to hunt aliens with a crackpot, albeit brilliant, partner.
(He gets another "Look.")
MULDER: Getting into the heart of a global conspiracy. Your obscenely overdue triple-X bill.
Oh, I... I'm sorry, Scully. Those last two problems are mine, not yours.
(Another hit.)
SCULLY: (with a big smile) Shut up, Mulder. I'm playing baseball.
Day 8: Funniest scene
Ugh, this is a tough one.
I could go with 'Bad Blood'. But that one is predictable.
So, I'm choosing this one (without really thinking) from:
ARCADIA
SCULLY: (from the bathroom) Mulder, speaking of cleaning up whoever taught you how to squeeze a tube of toothpaste?
(...)
SCULLY: (From the bathroom) Third warning: (sound of toilet seat falling) Toilet seat. (toilet flushes)
(...)
(SCULLY comes out of the bathroom. She has a terrycloth headband and her face is covered
in a bright green mud mask. MULDER looks up and is startled by her appearance.)
MULDER: Whoa!
(...)
MULDER: (adjusting the pillows to make himself more comfortable)
Well, anyway, tomorrow I got a, uh, a surefire way of testing out my theory.
(He puts the bed beside him seductively and waggles his eyebrows at her. She raises her eyebrows at him.)
MULDER: (coaxing) Come on, Laura, you know... we're married now.
SCULLY: Scully, Mulder. Good night.
(MULDER gets up from the bed taking a pillow. He pauses next to her.)
MULDER: The thrill is gone.
(As he heads off to sleep wherever it is he's going to sleep, SCULLY sighs and goes to the bed.)
There are others from 'José Chung from Outer Space', 'Small Potatoes', 'Dreamland' I & II, 'Je Souhaite' and more that I could have chosen, but I didn't :P
