I Want to Believe
Fox Mulder is sitting at his desk in his basement office reading the book “From Outer Space” by Jose Chung. Just then, Dana Scully walks into the office.
Scully: Have you heard the news, Mulder?
Mulder: Is it about Bigfoot?
Scully: No.
Mulder: Skinner got a hair piece?
Scully: No.
Mulder: The Cigarette Smoking Man quit smoking!
Scully: NO! The FBI and Girl Scouts signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on more STEM activities!
Mulder: Mmmm, I love Girl Scout cookies. Do we get them for free?
Scully: No.
Mulder: Were you a Girl Scout, Scully?
Scully: <<coy smile>> Well actually, yeah….
Mulder: I knew it. So when do we get to meet with them?
Scully: Mulder, I seriously doubt they’re going to let you get anywhere close to the girls.
Mulder: Why not?
Scully: Well… you can be… um, you might… scare them.
Mulder: Scare them?
Scully: For one thing, look at your posters on the wall.
Mulder: What’s wrong with my posters of the Flukeman?
Scully: Ugh. Anyway, troops aren’t going to be studying paranormal activity or UFOs.
Mulder: Sigh.
Scully: But they did ask me to lead a session! They gave me this OFFICIAL scarf to wear.
Mulder: I want an OFFICIAL scarf. And cookies.
Scully: Sorry. I’m going to talk to them about careers in the FBI.
Mulder: Tell them all about us and our crazy adventures!
Scully: Um… sure.
Mulder: But don’t tell them that The Lone Gunmen hacked into GSUSA’s expensive common IT platform that all councils except one are on.
Scully: What!! Oh my gosh….
Mulder: Yeah. Whew, what a mess. Hey, maybe you can get those three to talk to the girls about cybersecurity.
Scully: NO.
Mulder: Just sayin’.
Scully: NO.
Mulder: You’re no fun, Scully.
