Chinga


Mulder uses the basketball to pretend that there's construction being done at his apartment. I'm sure his neighbors appreciated it.

Scully:  …familiars, bloodstones, or hex signs or any of the ritual tableaux associated with the occult, Santeria, Voudoun, Macumba, or any high or low magic?

Mulder:  Scully…

Scully:  Yes?

Mulder:  Marry me.

Scully:  I was hoping for something a little more helpful.

Really.  Mulder can be such a child.  Most of Mulder's punkisms in this episode stem from the fact he's a scardy cat punk.  Instead of admitting that he misses Scully and that he wants to talk to her he comes up with lame ass excuses for why he's calling.  Pathetic.

General Punkesque Behavior

Number of times Mulder calls Scully despite the fact that she said she was on vacation and didn't want to be disturbed:  Four

You've got to love the irony of Mulder trying to quote statistics on decapitations in convertibles to Scully as she hangs up on him.  Why did he think Scully would want to hear that?  He didn't want to hear about the number of accidents caused by sleepiness when Krycek mentioned them.

Watching porn at the office.  What if Skinner or some other boss like person had walked in?  "Alien Probe?"  Ewww!

Suggesting that Scully didn't know what she was looking for as far as signs of sorcery or witchcraft.  What did he think she learned nothing in the five years they've been partners?

Mulder is a lousy tenant.  He makes all kind of noise bouncing the basketball inside like a dumb ass.  Pretending it's construction workers is just plain pathetic.

Now I know that Mulder's a cheapskate and he all his traveling and hospital stays would preclude him from making regular trips to the supermarket but he really needs to do some shopping.  Food as old as that container of juice simply should not be in the refrigerator.  It's particularly sad that that old bottle of juice is the only thing in the refrigerator.

Lying to Scully about what he got done that weekend:  The least he could have done was taken the pencils out of the ceiling so his lie would be slightly more convincing.  I hope he took that porn tape out of the VCR.
