the anniversary of apollo 11 gives me an obligatory excuse to picspam this scene.
To commemorate the anniversary of Apollo 11, I give you one of the cutest Scully/Mulder moments of Season Four.
YAY.
The X-Files; Episode 4.17: Tempus Fugit.
Scully's Birthday Gift.
(Mulder and Scully are sitting at a table, some food and drinks in front of them. Mulder is chewing on his straw. A waiter starts over to them, carrying some strawberry ice cream with a candle, singing. The other waiters and waitresses join in.)
WAITERS: Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to you...(Scully looks at Mulder and rolls her eyes.)...Happy birthday dear Dana...
(Mulder joins in for one line as they put the dish down in front of her.)
MULDER: Special Agent Dana Katherine Scully...
WAITERS: Happy birthday to you!
(They clap, as does the rest of the patrons in the bar, and walk away. Everyone in the restaurant has been watching them.)
MULDER: (jokingly) I didn't know it was your birthday, Scully.
(The clapping dies down, except for Mulder, who continues clapping.)
SCULLY: Mulder... you have never remembered my birthday in the four years I've known you.
MULDER: That's the way I like to celebrate them. It's every four years, it's like dog years that way.
(She tries to blow out the candle, but is distracted by his choice of words and smiles.)
SCULLY: Dog years? Thank you.
MULDER: You're welcome. Oh, I got something for you.
(He digs into his coat pocket and pulls out a small white box wrapped in gold ribbon.)
SCULLY: Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
(He hands it to her.)
MULDER: It's just something that reminded me of you.
SCULLY: What, an alien implant?
MULDER: Two, actually. I made them into earrings.
(She sighs and opens the box. It contains a gold Apollo 11 commemorative keychain. She puts her finger through the hole and studies.)
SCULLY: Hmmm... Apollo eleven.
(Mulder smiles widely, enjoying the gift. Scully appears not to understand the idea.)
MULDER: Read the back.
SCULLY: "Commemorating Apollo Eleven and the mission to the moon, July 1969."
*LOLZ GRIN*
SCULLY: (sarcastically) I'm touched.
MULDER: It's, um...
(A woman walks over to them.)
WOMAN: Excuse me, are you Scully? And Mulder?
(Scully looks over to Mulder.)
SCULLY: Oh, promise me this isn't leading to something really embarrassing.

FIN.
