picspammy's january challenge is favourite character. you'll never guess who i chose.
once upon a time there was a little show called the x files. you may have heard of it. if you know me, you already know how i feel about scully. if you don't know me, well, i can't imagine that you'd really care.
thanks to
lightlack, who has put up with me babbling at her about this for more than a week now. and to
ginger_delirium, who puts up with my babbling on a constant basis. he has been, as always, incredibly patient with my love for this fictional woman.
i should point out, before we begin, that photoshop and i eye one another warily whenever we meet. if anything looks pretty here, it is far more to do with a happy accident than any skill on my part.
Season 1
Agent Mulder, I'm Dana Scully. I've been assigned to work with you.
Season 2
I know the world is full of predators, just as it has always been. And I know it's my job to protect people from them. And I've counted on that fact to give me faith in my ability to do what I do... I want that faith back... I need it back.
(episodes Scully does not appear in this season: '3')
Season 3
I've heard the truth, Mulder. Now what I want are the answers.
Season 4
MULDER: Dana, if, um... early in the four years we've been working together... an event occurred that suggested or somebody told you that... we'd been friends together in other lifetimes... always... wouldn't it have changed some of the ways we looked at one another?
SCULLY: Even if I knew for certain, I wouldn't change a day.
(episodes Scully does not appear in this season: 'Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man' and 'Zero Sum')
Season 5
PRIEST: Has it occurred to you that maybe this, too, is part of what you were meant to understand?
SCULLY: You mean, accepting my loss?
PRIEST: Can you accept it?
SCULLY: Maybe that’s what faith is.
(episodes Scully does not appear in this season: 'Unusual Suspects' and 'Travelers')
Fight the Future
WMM: Kill Mulder, we take the risk of turning one man's quest into a crusade.
STRUGHOLD: Then you must take away what he holds most valuable. That with which he can't live without.
MULDER: I'm not going to watch you die, Scully, because of some hollow personal cause of mine. Go be a doctor. Go be a doctor while you still can.
SCULLY: I can't. I won't. Mulder, I'll be a doctor, but my work is here with you now. That virus that I was exposed to, whatever it is, it has a cure. You held it in your hand. How many other lives can we save? Look ... if I quit now, they win.
