There is so much to enjoy about Paley, Anon. Hereâs my highlight reel:
âI was comforting you *all the time*.â
Puppetry of the Penis
âIâll show you later.â
Darin Morgan writes superior scripts.
âSo proud of yourselfâŠâ
David being concerned about the continuity of his character, and also admitting that the mythology is so convoluted because it was improvised and Chris Carter never had an end game in mind.
Gillian picking Davidâs episode The Unnatural for one of her episodes to showcase because David directed it and because it was âvery romanticâ. (And his very sweet, very heartfelt declaration about her performance afterwards, and how off guard she was taken.)
âOh, I think youâre adorable in that.â
âFor me.â (Fuck, Iâm always an emotional wreck at this part.)
Gillian calling David âMulderâ
Gillian is still critical of her script and her episode even years later.
âHe has *lots* of one-night stands.â
Davidâs so jealous of Rodney Rowland and honestlyâŠit gives me life.
Gillian drags David *so hard* for his uhmâŠromantic past. Go girl.
When she leans over to pull a hair away from his face and he just leans into it and lets her groom him mid-conversation.
LOL @ Gillian saying she felt âsafeâ in Chris Carterâs hands whenever he directed an episode, then two minutes later saying she felt him in every aspect of the show because heâs such a perfectionist. (Read: Controlfreak)
âI think I won.â âOkay. You won.â
David admitting to missing the show after S9 had wrapped and before they started filming IWTB. Gillian admitting that trying to get pregnant was her focus while filming.
David saying Mulder and Scullyâs relationship doesnât end. It doesnât die. Heâs such a romantic.
How was William conceived? âThat was no miracle.â
âYeah, well I know what I needed.â
Glen Morgan came up with the whole Mulder porn thing, and it is somehow not shocking that Glen Morgan was the one who gave us the S11 line about handcuffs.
David admitting that touching and gazing was pretty much all them justâŠbeing them.
David and Gillian admitting the US Weekly and Rolling Stone covers were some of their favorites.
Gillian thinking it would be just HILARIOUS to be a Scully-impersonating stripper Hank has sex with on Californication.
The PMP dance sequence and how David thinks Mulder taking Scullyâs hand and asking her to dance is a good final image for Mulder and Scully.
The look Gillian gives David after that scene is finished. And the look he gives her in return.
Holy heck! Why canât we have nice things! đ
