On March 6th, 1992, Dana Scully introduced herself to Fox Mulder. She was assigned as his partner in order to debunk his work on The X-Files. Little did they both know, their partnership would evolve into something much greater; where trust was was never an issue. Their love has become a legendary story. Today marks the 20th anniversary of their meeting. And, I wouldn’t change anything about their relationship. Well, maybe that whole Diana Fowley thing. We could have done without her just fine. c:
The very polite Canadians who recognize her from the show, which airs there, tend to keep their distance, Anderson says. But even discreet recognition can be unnerving to a fledgling TV star.
“There is something vulnerable about being in the public eye, to a certain degree,” she says. “Having that feeling, hearing ‘Scully’ whispered as you pass people. It reminds you constantly that you’re not in your private little world.”AP, Feb 1994
“She’s very tough, a survivor,” he says. In the pilot, he recalls, they had to stand outside in freezing rain. Duchovny was ready to leave, but Anderson, he says, “stood there wanting it to be colder and wetter. She was actually her face to the rain machine, saying ‘Hit me with more water.’”
People, March 1995
-I swear that this scene took like 20 takes…yeah there was some cussing LOL
Scully:(Discussing the murdered baby’s long list of birth defects) Imagine all a woman’s hopes and dreams for her child, and for Nature to turn so cruel… What must a woman go through?
Mulder: Apparently not much in this case, if she’d just throw it out with the trash.
Scully:(Sadly) I- I guess I was just projecting on myself.
Mulder: Why, is there a history of genetic abnormalities in your family?
Scully: No.
Mulder:(Grinning) Well, just find yourself a man with a spotless genetic makeup and a really high tolerance for being second-guessed and start pumping out the little uber-Scullys.
Scully:(Smiles back) What about your family?
Mulder: Aside from the need for corrective lenses and the tendency to be abducted by extraterrestrials involved in an international governmental conspiracy, the Mulder family passes genetic muster.
