Why this must be read: When Mulder catches Scully on what seems to be a date, misunderstandings and miscommunications abound. The story revolves around Mulder and the restaurant he frequents on Saturday nights for take out, an order that has an extra entree and two sets of napkins and utensils, so "the rest of the restaurant [would know] that he was clearly picking up food for both himself and some significant other waiting for him at home." How pathetic his life has become, reduced to trying to convince restaurant employees that he has someone waiting for him at home. Nice take on the standard post Two Fathers/One Son estrangement, and I was really getting into that restaurant and the bartender!
Mulder took in a deep breath and huffed it back out,
trying to think of something to say.
"Looking for something?" she asked pointedly. "Or
maybe someone?"
Her nostrils took a hit from the whiff of air that
Mulder had expelled a second before.
"Oh, I don't believe... are you drunk again, Mulder?"
"Well, I was until about thirty minutes ago, but..."
Suddenly, this all seemed very familiar.
"Yeah, well, was that before or after you... wait a
minute. I'm having the strangest sensation of deja
vu."
Mulder felt impatient but managed to halt the eye roll
he had nearly started.
"It isn't deja vu when it's actually happened before.
We've had this conversation. I wasn't drunk then and
I'm not drunk now but I need to talk to you."
"Mulder, do you know what time it is? What the hell
are you doing here?"
"Like I said," Mulder answered calmly, "I need to talk
to you."
"Uh huh. And does this have anything to do with you
being at Cafe Deluxe a couple of hours ago?"
She watched his eyes dart back and forth like a
trapped cat and knew immediately that she'd been right
once again.
"Maybe," he told her with a note of defiance,
embarrassed that she'd seen him haunting the bar like
that.
