Lines by Melvin Frohike 4

Frohike

(Talking about the Smoking Man, as he listens over the wiretap.) Henry David Thoreau wrote: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." His life has been anything but quiet - yet I believe, nothing but desperate. He's the most dangerous man alive - not so much because he believes in his actions, but because he believes those actions are all which life allows him... and yet, the only person that can never escape him, is himself.

Frohike

(to Langly) With that long blonde hair, you'll be the first one in here who gets traded for cigarettes, and I'm gonna be laughing my ass off.

Scenes with Melvin Frohike 21

Frohike

So Mulder, where's your little partner?

She couldn't come. She was afraid of her love for you.

In our April edition of "The Lone Gunman," we ran an article on the C.I.A.'s new CCDTH-2138 fiber-optic-lens micro-video camera.

Small enough to be placed on the back of a fly.

Imagine being one of those flies on the wall of the Oval Office.

Frohike

Been there, done that.

[via video phone]

Frohike

Beam me up, Scotty!

Anybody ever tell you the camera loves you, Frohike?

Frohike

Yeah, the arresting officers at the "Free James Brown" rally.

Frohike

I don't think we've been followed.

Who would follow you?

Multinational black ops unit. Code name Garnett.

Trained killers. School of the American Alumni.

Have you boys been defacing library books again?

Frohike

He was a good friend. A redwood among mere sprouts. I guess this means he's passing you the torch?

Uh, I'm afraid not. I'm soon to be out of a job.

Frohike

Those sons of bitches! They're rigging the game.

And like rats they just scatter back into the wood pile.

Frohike

The rats that killed the cat.

Frohike

Me and the narc have a proposition for you.

What proposition?

Frohike

The coolest hack in the world.

(smiles) Say it. (Frohike hesitates) Say it...

Frohike

(grudgingly) ...Your kung fu is the best.

[Scully sitting at her desk; the Lone Gunmen approach.]

What are you guys doing here?

Frohike

Mulder's in trouble.

Big trouble.

What do you mean?

Let's take a walk.

Okay, where are we going?

Frohike

The walls have ears.

(impatient) I have ears. Will you tell me what's going on?

[Mulder lying on his side in a hospital bed, unconscious; Scully leans over him.]

Mulder? Mulder, it's me. Hmm?

(waking) Where am I? (tries to sit up)

You're in a hospital.

Ooooo.

Lie still.

I feel... Like hell.

I don't blame you. You've been through the wringer, I'd say.

What happened to me?

You did something incredibly stupid.

What did I do?

You went looking for a ship, Mulder. In the Bermuda Triangle.

Say that again?

[Lone Gunmen enter the room.]

Frohike

Gilligan awakes.

You were there.

Hmm?

You were there, Scully.

[Skinner enters.]

(to the others) He's delirious.

(referring to Skinner) And he was there, too.

(dropping a bouquet of flowers on the nightstand) Right - Me and my dog Toto.

No, you were there with the Nazis.

Mulder, will you settle down? It's an order.

Not that he takes orders...

[Mulder rests the back of his hand on Scully's waist which is against his bed rail. Is happy, but obviously drugged.]

You saved the world, Scully.

Yeah... You're right. I did.

Frohike

What kind of drugs is he on?

I want some.

No, no, no... The Queen Anne- I found it. You were there with Thor's Hammer. I told you you had to turn the ship around and then I jumped overboard.

Yeah, I bet you did. The boat that you were on was busted into a million pieces. And as for the Queen Anne... it was nothing more than a ghost ship.

No, no, no. You and I were on that ship, Scully. In 1939.

Get some rest, Mulder, 'cause when you get out of here I'm going to kick your butt but good.

[Mulder grins, Skinner and the Gunmen leave the room.]

I would've never seen you again. But you believed me.

In your dreams. (as if talking to a child) Mulder, I want you to close your eyes and I want you to think to yourself "there's no place like home."

Mmm. (chuckles) [Scully starts to leave; he calls her back.] Hey, Scully. (leans up on his elbow)

[Comes back and leans close to his face.] Yes?

[Long pause. They look deeply at one another.]

I love you.

Oh, brother... (turns away and leaves the room)

[Mulder watches her go; starts to lie down, but as his face touches the pillow he leans back up in slight pain and rubs his jaw where 1939 Scully hit him. He gazes after her and smiles.]

Frohike

Hey Timmy. I'm sorry about Jimmy.

TLTimothy Landau

Hey Langly, the guys are all up in my room for a round of Dungeons and Dragons, in honor of Jimmy.

(hand on heart for a moment) Lord Manhammer will be in attendance. (to Frohike) I'm going to go play a little D&D, uh, in memoriam.

Frohike

That's touching, man.

[Frohike hears Scully's laugh, and leaves his slot machine to see her surrounded by a huge group of men.]

Frohike

Scully?

Aw, hey. Long time, no see. (a man whispers something into her ear) No, that's not nice. I like Hickey. (she rubs his head, messing up his hair. Agent Morris Fletcher [from Dreamland I/II] holds out a pack of cigarettes to her)

Cigarette? (she leans in and takes out a cigarette with her lips seductively)

Frohike

You don't smoke.

But who's got a match? (a dozen lighters are in front of her instantly) Well ... I just can't decide who lights my fire.

Frohike

That's it. (grabs cigarette from Scully's mouth) Alright, you dandies, back off. This is Special Agent Dana Scully of the FBI. If you so much as touch her, you may be committing a federal offense. (to Scully) Come on, come on. (he pulls her away)

We could have been stardust.

Maybe next time. (she slaps his ass as Frohike drags her off)

(laughing) Hi.

Frohike

Settle down, settle down. (sits her on the bed)

(laughing and grinning) Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Frohike

I found Agent Scully-go-lightly holding court... (Scully grabs Frohike's ass) ...bar!

I've never seen her drunk before ...

MModeski

(checks Scully's eyes) God, this can't be.

(she pretends to tickle her) Hi...
