Take You (Dana and Fox's Version)

Case: Dana and Fox v. (Dana and Fox v. Romance)

Mulder: So, what did you think of our date? Scully: Uh, Butterfly Wonderland and then an empty parking lot in North Phoenix, all to “Take You” by Justin Bieber, off of Believe from 2012. Solid A-minus, Fox. Fine, I guess? Mulder: Well, butterflies are cool, and have you ever thought about the number of empty parking spots in all of Metro Phoenix beyond a certain time of day? Scully: Essentially infinite? Mulder: Yes. (Scully begins eating a giant soft pretzel, salted, with mustard in a small plastic cup) Mulder: Worth it? Scully: Yes, Wetzel’s truly does have the best Pretzels. As for this place, how is it still functional? Mulder: Well, it still is what it still is, of course. But they’re rebranding it… something about a “Luxury Experience”. Scully: Well, I guess if you rebrand something just right, and renovate, and everything else, and something else, then some portion of people will come and see. And, if it’s the right group in the right area, then the thing keeps going. Mulder: Good stores, good pretzels, a nice movie theatre. So, why not keep it open? Scully: Why not. (Scully’s phone rings and she answers it putting it to her ear) Scully: Dana Scully. [...] Yes. [...] Well, where are you? [...] Alright, I’m in the Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall in Scottsdale, AZ. [...] You’re where? [...] (Scully hangs up the phone) Mulder: Who was that? Scully: Dana Scully. She said she was in a shopping mall in Washington D.C. Mulder: But you’re here with me. Scully: Well, I’m kind of always here with you, right, Fox? Mulder: Yes. Did she want anything? Scully: I’m not sure how she got my number or knew I existed. Mulder: Does it matter how? Scully: No, I guess not. So, there’s a version of us, here in this food court, in this shopping mall. Mulder: Right. Scully: And there’s another version of us, in a mall in Washington D.C., at another food court, sitting in a booth, like we are now. Mulder: Sounds pretty solid. Scully: Well, then - the question is: why are we, the four of us, separated from each other over a long distance, with two of us in one shopping mall and the other two in another shopping mall? Mulder: Both in food courts. Scully: Exactly. Mulder: I don’t know. Can I have a bite of your pretzel? Scully: Well, at this time, we’re still on our date. So, share and share alike.
