The X Files
#1x04 Jersey Devil


Scully: I have a date.
Mulder: ...Can you cancel?
Scully: Unlike you, Mulder, I would like to have a life.
Mulder: I have a life!


這集的主題是鄉野傳說Jersey Devil

X 檔案處理奇閒異事題材大柢就是這樣
如同Mulder說的這段話

MULDER: Yea, highly unlikely, but not outside the realm
of extreme possibility?

X 檔案想提供的就是在極不可能的情況下
絕非不可能的解釋
那似真似假的大膽假設
往往就唬住我這外行人了
而這也就是我覺得有意思的地方

主線以外Mulder和Scully兩個人的互動在這集很有趣
兩個人的生活態度可以從裡頭看出不同
Scully看起來比較可以enjoy 和Mulder處事了
也可以大膽地跟Mulder說些玩笑話
可是被派來和Mulder共事畢竟還是工作
Scully還是希望有自己的生活
而Mulder那樣子對他而言是沒有自己生活的

瞧Scully是怎麼跟朋友提到Mulder的
ELLEN: What about that guy you work with?
SCULLY: Mulder?
ELLEN: Yeah, I thought you said he was cute.
SCULLY: He's a jerk. He's not a jerk, he's erm, he's obsessed with his work.

Mulder對Jersey Devil(the beast woman)事件的執著到後來讓Scully很受不了
在倉庫救了差點被挖了心肺的Mulder
沒想到這不怕死的死小孩竟然只急著跟Scully說:
"You should've seen her, she was beautiful."
難怪Scully冷冷地丟下一句:"Yeah well, she just about ripped your lungs out."
當事件結束後 Scully跑去跟Mulder提檢驗報告
一聽到the beast woman 果然有生育的可能
Mulder衝著又要去找人類學家
於是忍了很久的Scully再次發飆 無奈又生氣地說:
"Mulder will you do me a favour, will you just go out and have a beer,
will you take the day off. I'll cover for you, will you just, take some
time for yourself. "

雖然Scully嘴裡是這麼說
還是丟不掉這個死小孩吧
竟然拒絕了"the guy" 的邀約
跟著Mulder去找人類學家

然後Mulder這傢伙
Scully願意捨棄約會來陪他
Mulder竟然還不知好歹地虧Scully
好在Scully也不是好欺負的XD

SCULLY: I'm going with you to the Smithsonian.
MULDER: Don't you have a life Scully?
SCULLY: Keep that up Mulder and I'll hurt you like that beast-woman.
