“Hi Teresa”
“Hi Janet. What’s up? And make it fast, I have a schedule to follow today. The boss wants me to order roses for his wife and also organise several meetings. I’m tired just thinking about it.”
“Wow! Sounds busy. So there will be no snoring coming from your desk this afternoon, then?!
“Oh you’re funny! What was so important that you had to tell me now?”
“She’s not pregnant”
“Who?”
“Are you dense or what? Doc Ice!”
“Of course, she isn’t. I’ve told you for years that Spooky wasn’t doing her! She is too dowdy, geeky and cold. Basically, she just hasn’t got what it takes!”
“And what does it take?”
“Breasts!”
“What do breasts have to do with it?”
“Our man, Spooky likes his women with monstrous breasts, long legs and to be brunette…kind of like me!”
“Yeah, right”
“Don’t roll your eyes, Janet! There was a time when he was all over the secretarial pool!”
“When was that?”
“Before you came along”
“Oh hi, Agent Scully. I didn’t see you there.”
“Good Afternoon, Ladies. You know Janet, you’re right about Mulder. He does like breasts –my breasts- and he does like legs – my legs – but you were wrong about one thing, he no longer finds brunettes attractive, he much prefers redheads. Oh and Teresa, you were right too; I’m not pregnant but Mulder and I are working on it, constantly.
“…”
“Well, have a nice day, *ladies*”.

“Mulder, it’s me. Where are you?”
“Hey, Scully...what’s the exact definition of diaphanous?”
“Where are you?”
“
“You said you had research to do!”
“I am researching!”
“Exactly what kind of research are you doing?”
“First, what’s the difference between diaphanous and sheer? How’s a man is supposed to know the difference?”
“It’s not necessary, Mulder! Usually women buy their own pantyhose and know all about colours and materials!”
“I wanted to replace the ones I’ve ruined yesterday…in the office”
“Yeah, right! You are telling me that you went to this particular store just to buy pantyhose?”
“Okay. I admit I took the opportunity to do a little browsing. They have some interesting lines!”
“I bet!”
“Want to join me and help me do my research?”
“In your dreams, Mulder.”
“Aww, so anyway Scully, why were you calling me?”
“I just had another run in with Dumb and Dumber again”
“Oh, what happened?”
“Nothing much, I just gave them some bones to chew on”
“Oh”
“Very articulate Mulder. What are you looking at now?”
“Nothing at all”
“I can hear you drooling”
“Em....Scully, I have one word for you –‘ Crotch-less’.”
“Oh, brother!”
