Close... but not quite... yeah, Mulder and Scully almost smooch in the film! If only it weren't for that darn bee...


David: "It was just like, we were acting like it was, like, a gross carnal coupling, you know? It was a joke for the crew and for us. The actual kissing and you know - that was never a part of the movie and so we never would have shot that, no. The only time we did that was as a joke. Gillian and I did it to our liking and then I said, you know, 'Let's do one, let's do one where we - I take you up against the wall here.' But that was never - there was never any thought - we were outside of the camera's view actually at that point, so that's not even on film."

(Q&A with David)

Q: We heard [from Rob Bowman, the director], that Gillian slammed you up against a wall and planted one on you.
A: "Am I supposed to be playing along with something I don't know? Rob's just being cute. No, we did a little funny take where I kind of jacked her up against the wall and started, you know, doing the old--Help me out."
Q: Tongues?
A: "No, we were acting like it was gross carnal coupling. You know, it was a joke for the crew and for us. The actual kissing, that was never a part of the movie, so we never would have shot that. No, the only time we did that was as a joke. Gillian and I did it to our liking, and then I said, 'Let's do one where we're up against the wall here.' We were outside of the cameras' view, actually, at that point. So that's not even on film, I don't think."
