Days of Milk and Cookies

[One fine morning at the Mulders Summer House...]

Teena Mulder: "Why don't you kids go and play with the new children?"

That Guy: "What new children mom?"

Teena Mulder: "You know, the new kids living at the Shrivers old place."

Samantha Mulder: "I've seen them!"

Teena Mulder: "Did you say hello?"

Samantha Mulder: "No."

Teena Mulder: "Well, why not?"

Samantha Mulder: "Because."

Teena Mulder: "Because why? Don't just say 'because' please, little missy, I want a proper answer."

Samantha Mulder: "Because I don't know who they are."

Teena Mulder: "Well, that's no reason not to be friendly! How will you get to know them if you don't talk to them? Finish your milk please Samantha."

That Guy: "The boy is big and fat."

Teena Mulder: "That Guy! Don't say things like that please! That's terrible! He probably can't help his weight. You be nice."

[A tall figure, trailing cigarette smoke, looms into the doorway]

The Cancer Man: "I couldn't help overhearing your conversation. You should be careful what you say young man: some things can come back to haunt you - and you wouldn't want that now, would you...?"

Teena Mulder: "Ahh, children, I want you to go outside and play now, I have to talk to Uncle The Cancer Man for a little while."

That Guy: "When's dad coming home?"

The Cancer Man: "He's going to be away for a while. After all, he has important business to take care of. Very important business..."

Samantha Mulder: "I'm going to go and see the new kids!"

Teena Mulder: "That's nice Sam! Go on That Guy, you go too."

That Guy: "Aww mom, do I have to? Can't I just stay here for a while?"

Teena Mulder: "No That Guy, run along and say hello to the new people. I'm sure they are very nice!"

That Guy: "Alright..."

Teena Mulder: "Oh That Guy, stop pouting! Honestly, you act more like a little girl than your sister sometimes!"

The Cancer Man: "Do as your mother says young man. You must learn to do as you're told, if you want to succeed in this life. I'll be keeping an eye on you. Don't forget that..."

[Samantha and That Guy head off in the direction of the new neighbors place, Samantha at a run, That Guy dawdling sullenly.]

Samantha Mulder: "Hi."

Dana Scully: "Hello. How old are you?"

Samantha Mulder: "I'm eight. How old are you?"

Dana Scully: "I'm eight too. My birthday is February 23rd. What's your name?"

Samantha Mulder: "I'm Samantha. What's your name? My birthday is January the 22nd."

Dana Scully: "I'm Dana Katherine Scully. You're a month older than me."

Samantha Mulder: "Do you want to play?"

Dana Scully: "OK. Where do you live?"

Samantha Mulder: "We live up the street at that house."

Dana Scully: "What's your name again?"

Samantha Mulder: "Oh silly, it's Samantha Mulder. I already told you!"

Dana Scully: "OK. What shall we play?"

Bill Scully Jr: "Who's that kid?"

Samantha Mulder: "That's my brother That Guy. What's your name?"

Bill Scully Jr: "Who want's to know? I'm not telling you. 'That Guy'? What a stupid name! He looks like a dummy!"

Samantha Mulder: "He is not! You're a big dummy!"

Dana Scully: "Oh don't listen to my brother, he's stupid."

Bill Scully Jr: "You're stupid! You're a big stupid idiot!"

Dana Scully: "Shut up Bill! I'm telling mom!"

Bill Scully Jr: "I'm telling mom, I'm telling mom! Nyah nyah nyah!"

Samantha Mulder: "Come on Dana, let's go play away from him!"

Dana Scully: "OK! I wish he wasn't my brother!"

Samantha Mulder: "My brother is a big dummy too sometimes."

[The small girls scamper off in the direction of the backyard. Soon after, That Guy arrives]

That Guy: "Hi. I'm from up the street. That house there."

Bill Scully Jr: "So? Do I look like I care? You look like a girl!"

That Guy: "At least I'm not a big fat pig like you!"

Bill Scully Jr: "I'm not a pig, you're a pig! Oink oink! That's you! I'm gonna smash you!"

That Guy: "You can't even catch me, you're too fat!"

Bill Scully Jr: "My dad's a navy captain, he's gonna shoot you for saying that!"

That Guy: "So! My dad's in the government! He's more important than some old sailor! And my Uncle The Cancer Man is important too! He makes people disappear!"

Bill Scully Jr: "How can he make people disappear? Is he a magician or something? You're a stupid liar!"

That Guy: "No I'm not! You're an idiot!"

Bill Scully Jr: "No! You are!"

That Guy: "Have you seen my sister?"

Bill Scully Jr: "Yeah and she's funny looking! Arr har har..!"

That Guy: "You are, not her! Where is she?"

Bill Scully Jr: "You're a retard, you're a retard, nyah nyah nyah nyah!"

[Suddenly, Mrs Scully appears at the front door]

Margaret Scully: "Bill! Stop that! How many times do I have to tell you not to call people that! Go to your room!"

Bill Scully Jr: "Aww mom, I was only kidding!"

Margaret Scully: "If you can't be nice then you can't play! Now say you're sorry to this nice young man!"

Bill Scully Jr: "Aww mom...!"

Margaret Scully: "Do as I say Bill, or else!"

Bill Scully Jr: "Sorry..."

Margaret Scully: "Now go and play nicely with...what's your new friends name?"

Bill Scully Jr: "I don't know."

Margaret Scully: "What's your name?"

That Guy: "I'm That Guy. We live up the street at that house."

Margaret Scully: "My, that's an, erm, unusual name. Were you named after anyone in your family?"

That Guy: "Nah, it's something off TV or something..."

Margaret Scully: "And how old are you? Do you have any brothers and sisters?"

That Guy: "I'm 11. My sister's around here someplace. My mom says we have to come and play."

Margaret Scully: "Well, isn't that nice! See Bill, you have a new friend to play with already!"

Bill Scully Jr: "A new retard you mean..."

Margaret Scully: "That's it, get in that house right this instant and go straight up to your room! Just you wait 'til I tell your father!"

Bill Scully Jr: "But mom...!"

Margaret Scully: "No buts! Go! Now!"

That Guy: "Have you seen my sister?"

Margaret Scully: "Oh, that must be who Dana is playing with in the yard. They're on the swing."

That Guy: "Thank you. Nice meeting you."

Margaret Scully: "Well, it's nice to meet you too!"

[Mrs Scully watches That Guy run off 'round to the back yard, then she reenters the house]

Samantha Mulder: "Hi That Guy! Come and push us on the swing!"

Dana Scully: "Is that your brother?"

Samantha Mulder: "Yes. He's 11. His name is That Guy."

Dana Scully: "That Guy? Really? How come?"

Samantha Scully: "I don't know. Our dad said we'd understand one day."

Dana Scully: "That's strange."

Samantha: "I guess. How many brothers and sister do you have?"

Dana Scully: "I have two brothers and a sister. My sister is older than me."

Samantha Scully: "Where is she?"

Dana Scully: "Melissa - that's my sister - is in India with my dad. He's in the navy and she went to visit him in India. They visit lots of temples and stuff."

Samantha Mulder: "Wow! How come you didn't go?"

Dana Scully: "My mom said I am too young, but I'm not."

That Guy: "Hi. What are you doing?"

Samantha Mulder: "We're playing. This is Dana Scully. This is her house. Where have you been?"

That Guy: "I was talking to some lady."

Samantha Mulder: "Where's your brother, Dana?"

Dana Scully: "I don't know. Probably in the house. He's an idiot."

That Guy: "Yeah! He called me a retard so your mom sent him to his room."

Samantha Mulder: "Har har, you must be a retard then!"

That Guy: "No I'm not!"

Dana Scully: "And you have a funny nose!"

That Guy: "I do not! You've got ginger hair! Ginger hair, ginger hair!"

Dana Scully: "So! My mom and dad says that all the boys will like my hair one day!"

That Guy: "No they won't!"

Samantha Mulder: "You've got real pretty hair. Can I brush it?"

Dana Scully: "OK! I'll do yours too!"

Samantha Mulder: "Come on That Guy, we'll do yours too!"

That Guy: "No! I'm no girl!"

Samantha Mulder: "Where's your other brother, Dana?"

Dana Scully: "Oh, you mean Charles? He's-"

[Before she can finish, Mrs Scully steps out onto the back porch...]

Margaret Scully: "Dana? Do you and your little friends want some lemonade and cookies?"

Dana Scully: "Do you guys want some?"

Samantha Mulder: "OK."

That Guy: "Sure."

Dana Scully: "Yes please mom!"

Margaret Scully: "OK, do you want it out there or inside?"

Dana Scully: "Can we have it out here?"

Margaret Scully: "OK, come and help me bring it out."

[The trio scamper up to the porch and enter the house. Mrs Scully is waiting in the kitchen]

Samantha Mulder: "This is a real nice house Mrs Scully!"

Margaret Scully: "Why thank you! Dana, you haven't introduced your friend. Be polite now."

Dana Scully: "This is Samantha. That's her brother That Guy."

Margaret Scully: "Yes, we already met, and it's very nice to meet you Samantha."

Samantha Mulder: "You're really pretty Mrs Scully!"

Margaret Scully: "Why, thank you Samantha! That's very nice of you. I have to tell you it runs in the family. All the Scully women are pretty. Melissa and Dana will be much prettier than me when they grow up! Even prettier than they are now, isn't that right honey?"

Dana Scully: "If you say so mom..."

[They troop back out to the yard and set the plate of cookies and lemonade pitcher down in the shade of the big oak tree.]

Margaret Scully: "OK dear, just call me if you need anything else."

Dana Scully: "Thanks mom."

[Mrs Scully returns to the house and the kids begin to enjoy the cookies, when suddenly...]

That Guy: "Owww!"

Samantha Mulder: "What's wrong?"

That Guy: "Something bit me!"

Dana Scully: "Hey, your neck is bleeding! I'll fix it!"

Samantha Mulder: "Do you have a band aid?"

Dana Scully: "In the house. I'll get it and put it on."

[Dana runs off to the house. Soon after, she emerges with her mother and a first aid kit in tow. Mrs Scully inspects That Guys wound.]

Margaret Scully: "That's odd! I wonder what did that? Did you see anything That Guy?"

That Guy: "No, I just felt a sting, like a bee or something."

Margaret Scully: "Hmm, I don't think it was a bee. Bees don't harm people..."

Dana Scully: "Look out mom, I have to put this band aid on!"

Margaret Scully: "OK, you're sure you don't want me to do it honey?"

Dana Scully: "No mommy, I have to do this stuff if I'm ever going to be a doctor!"

Margaret Scully: "OK dear, but be careful."

Dana Scully: "There you go, all better now!"

Samantha Mulder: "Har har, you look like a mummy now That Guy!"

Margaret Mulder: "Now now Samantha, that's not nice, he looks handsome as ever. You did a fine job Dana, honey!"

Dana Scully: "I'm going to be a doctor one day Samantha. What are you going to be?"

That Guy: "Girls can't be doctors! That's a mans job!"

Dana Scully: "Is not! Lots of girls are doctors! Tell him mommy!"

Margaret Scully: "Yes, that's true That Guy. You shouldn't say such things. One day people might get into big trouble for saying things like that!"

Samantha Mulder: "My daddy says he has big plans for me but he won't tell me what they are."

Margaret Scully: "Well I'm sure they'll be great plans! You're daddy will want you to be something special I bet!"

[Mrs Scully takes the small first aid kit back to the house. The children resume their playing. But only a short time later...]

Samantha Mulder: "Hey, what was that?"

Dana Scully: "What was what?"

Samantha Scully: "Something just flew past my head!"

That Guy: "Oww! Something hit me!"

[Looking around, the alert Dana spies Bill Jr hiding in a bush near the little creek at the bottom of the yard]

Dana Scully: "Oh no! It's my stupid brother! He's shooting at us with his BB gun! Mom! Mommy! Bills shooting at us!"

Bill Scully Jr: "Cry-baby! Tell tale! What a sissy!"

That Guy: "Go away you big fat stupid idiot! Oww!"

Bill Scully Jr: "What did you call me?"

Dana Scully: "Mom!"

Bill Scully Jr: "She's gone over to Mrs Rogers house! She can't hear you! Har har!"

Samantha Mulder: "Go away you big dumb ape!"

That Guy: "Yeah, cut it out!"

Bill Scully Jr: "Make me, make me! Sissy! You've got a dumb name!"

[Suddenly, a figure drops down from a tree branch high above them and lands directly in front of Bill Jr. He is a boy of about 8. He is gorgeous, with the bronzed body of an Adonis. He stares at Bill Jr with eyes of fire. With a shriek of terror, Bill flees, carelessly tossing the BB gun into the creek. The beautiful boy approaches the three children, stopping in front of Dana. She is smitten.]

Dana Scully: "Who...who are you?"

Shturmovik[KGB]: "I'm your destiny..."
