GA: I wasn't listening.
Laurie: Congratulations, eight Emmy nominations for the X-Files and one specialy for you, for best dramatic actress.
GA: Thank you.
Tom: Let me ask you... One of the most difficult things, I would think about uh... going to all these ceremonies isn't so much what you were going to say if you won but what you're going to do when that camera zooms on your face and they call another name... Have you thought about that?
GA: Actualy... uh I did.. um... I was asked to comment the other day on that to a magazine. When I went to the Golden Globes... um... where before hand I was sitting at a table and I was up against Jane Seymore... Jaaaane Seymore and the camera zooms in and the nomination um award goes to Jaaaane Seymore um... so yes now I'm going to sit there like this.
Tom: So that's the face then...
GA: Yes, that's the face...
Tom: Lets see a little bit of what got you the nomination... This is a scene from the x-files where Mulder is um... toying with some fire arms.

Tom: And uh kids she uses the 'B' word in a sentence there. [laughs] You get points for that by the way.
GA: Thank you.
Tom: Uh... cause one of the things that Chris Cater talks about all the time is... if Mulder and Scully get it on... the show would change.
GA: Get it on... uh would you explain for the kids that are watching... Get it on.
