Summary: Skinner and Mulder are interviewed during the 2008 FRVS Hiatus.
REPORTER: Today we are joined by Walter Skinner and Fox Mulder – again, for our fifth hiatus interview. Thank you for joining me, gentlemen.
MULDER: Thanks for having us.
SKINNER: It’s a pleasure to be here.
REPORTER: I’ve heard rumors that the season premiere is underway and that you’ve begun filming. Are these rumors true, or is the truth still out there?
Mulder laughs.
MULDER: Well the truth will always be out there.
SKINNER: As a matter of fact the rumors are true. Mulder and I are in the opening sequence.
REPORTER: Really? Is there anything you can tell us about the premiere that you know so far?
SKINNER: Well there’s not much yet... but I think the tone of the season is much darker.
MULDER: Oh definitely. The world has really changed from where we left off in season 9.
SKINNER: From what we’ve done already there’s a lot more military involved.
MULDER: I even get my own call name.
REPORTER: So season ten thus far is still dealing with the Colonization War?
MULDER: As far as we know.
SKINNER: But in a new way... there are many more threats out there... some that we aren’t entirely aware of yet.
REPORTER: This is exciting to hear that the season is underway. What can you tell me about changes with your characters thus far, if any?
SKINNER: I look like I’ve been through the Viet Nam War again.
MULDER: And I feel my character has a lot more responsibility and maybe even a little bit of military stuff to deal with.
REPORTER: So... General Mulder?
MULDER: (laughs) No, way Jose! I don’t want that much responsibility! There’s still ways for fun to be had!
SKINNER: I’d have fun as a General, but I believe that rank goes to Knowle Rohrer... I think... so I’ve heard. Maybe it was Scully... one of them.
REPORTER: So you don’t remember? Or you won’t tell us for sure? Or... are we left to guess which Scully it is that holds the rank of General?
SKINNER: The script isn’t finished yet. I have no idea for sure.
MULDER: And there are three Scullys to choose from...
Mulder and Skinner smile with sly twinkles in both their eyes.
SKINNER: Dana would be hot as a General.
MULDER: Yeah, she totally would.
SKINNER: Barking out orders. Wearing the uniform.
MULDER: Yeah... the uniform. Women are so sexy in military uniform.
SKINNER: Like Shannon. Oh my God that woman, if she didn’t act like she wants to be a man I would have... I won’t say.
MULDER: I like her legs. She’s got long sexy legs.
REPORTER: Let’s not get off topic. I’m sick of these interviews getting off topic.
The Reporter gives them both a dirty look. Takes a deep breath, then continues.
REPORTER: Given that the upcoming season is the final season of “Fox & Rat”, where would you like to see your character end at the wrap up of the series?
SKINNER: I would love for my character to get married, and I don’t mean to Dana either. I want to see him let go of her once and for all. I mean, I love her and I always will, but I have to face facts here, she’s seriously involved with John, and he’s the bomb.
MULDER: He totally is. I love his ears.
SKINNER: I’d also like to see my character get some hair.
Skinner smiles a goofy grin knowing that’s impossible.
MULDER: (laughing) Long beautiful hair?
SKINNER: Yeah... like the song.
MULDER: For me, I’d like to be the King of Super Buddies.
He smiles goofily.
SKINNER: No... you don’t want that because then Krycek would want to be Han and Leia’s baby prince.
MULDER: Oh yeah... that. Don’t remind me, he’s been nuts about that idea.
SKINNER: What an idiot.
MULDER: Actually, I’d like for my character to not be so... how do I put this... silly, half-witted, and kind of dumb and oblivious. I’d like for me to show my real side, my serious side.
REPORTER: Is it possible Super Buddies could win the war against the Aliens.
Mulder smiles.
SKINNER: OF COURSE! Because love and friendship conquers all!
He stands up and hugs the Reporter and kiss him on the top of his head.
SKINNER: Whoa man, lose it on the gel!
He laughs and sits back down. Mulder giggles.
The Reporter sneers at him.
MULDER: Ok, so Wally... while Reporter Man sneers, I have a couple of questions for you.
SKINNER: Ok.
MULDER: My first question is about your teenage years. Did you have hair back then?
SKINNER: No, I had a toupee. Just kidding. I had hair, it was a buzz cut for the Marines. I was in ‘Nam you know.
MULDER: Right. Ok. Next question. What is your favorite song, and how would you incorporate it into the new season of “Fox & Rat”?
SKINNER: “Fly Me To The Moon”. And I would use it in the new season by having it used in a sequence of battle or something, just because it’s upbeat and would be totally the opposite feeling of what was happening. But then, the battle would seemingly disappear and it would become a dance number, sort of like a musical.
MULDER: That’s kind of weird and trippy. Are you high now?
SKINNER: No. I’ve actually never been high... well I have but that was back in ‘Nam. Some may think I’m high on the series but I’m really not. I’m naturally quirky.
MULDER: Me too. If you weren’t ever an Assistant Director for the FBI, what would you be?
SKINNER: Well I actually did poetry and teaching. I have actually written a lot of poems about the Viet Nam War in an unpublished book.
MULDER: Would you mind sharing one of your poems with us?
SKINNER: I don’t think they are appropriate for our audience. They are kind of... language heavy and gruesome.
MULDER: Oh.
SKINNER: They’d frighten you.
MULDER: Oh, then I won’t pester any further. Last question, this is the last interview before the holidays and the new year, is there anything you’d like to say to your fans?
SKINNER: GROW HAIR!
MULDER: That’s weird. Anyway... I’d like to thank Walter, myself and the Reporter – who is still glaring at us, for this interview! I hope you all have a wonderful, safe and holly jolly holiday! We’ll see you again in 2009! Super hugs!!
