"It's so easy
to jump into bed. Who needs to see that? That happens
on every show. What's so hard about having sex? It's
the same thing as nudity . . . big deal. It's better
to have two people who are actually interested in
each other beyond that. The easiest thing in the world
is to be attracted to somebody. It's harder to actually
live with them and work with them. And that's a fact,
Jack." - David Duchovny
Welcome Noromos and other visitors of
The Bee Dome. This page is dedicated to previous proof
that the creative persons involved with the show were
not going to allow Mulder and Scully's relationship
to be anything more than platonic. We are always looking
for quotes from Chris Carter and others from 1013 so
if you have something you do not see here, be kind,
send it our way. Please read and remember their words
... no MSR was the original plan and us fans were betrayed
when Carter decided to cater to the rabid shippers by
allowing the wonderful friendship between Mulder and
Scully to deteriorate through romance.
"Wily as a FOX"
David Duchovny quote
"The interesting thing about everybody's interest
in the relationship between Mulder and Scully is that
they want some kind of resolution to it. But when you
look at the show, each week something happens to Mulder
and/or Scully that is completely life-changing, yet
we come back the next week a if nothing had happened."
"It's unnatural, I know, but in a weekly series
you can not have things change the way they would in
real life. You can not have the kind of resolution you
want in real life. I thing it's best if Mulder and Scully
just keep teasing the viewers the way they do."

Interview with Frank Spotnitz
Q: Chris Carter once said that The X-Files is about
the stories more than it's about the characters. Do
you think that's changed?
Frank Spotnitz: I don't, actually. The truth is, we
are very plot driven, and we spend a great deal of time
making sure that our plots advance, that every piece
of information pushes forward another piece of information
and that the stories have a symmetry and ideas come
around and make full circle by the end of the episode.
And Mulder and Scully drive the plots forward and their
competing views of trhe world are really what make the
stories go. But by and large, the stories aren't about
them. It's their attitudes that expose what's going
on, but they're rarely very personal. And if you tink
about it, we actually know very little about them or
their private lives. And I think it is true that as
we get into our fifth season there are going to be more
episodes where you will get more of a glimpse of their
provate lives. We'll learn more about Mulder's mother
because it tells us something about the conspiracy or
about Cigarette-Smoking Man or Mulder's alien abduction
memories concerning Samantha. We never are melodramatic
simply to be melodramatic. Everything's in service to
the story.

Interview with Chris Carter
Q: As you well know, many fans have become so attached
to Mulder and Scully that they'd like to see more about
their personal lives. Do you feel the characters could
be successful if removed from specific paranormal or
conspiracy stories?
Chris Carter: Well, I'm just not interested in doing
that.

Interview with Chris Carter
"There are shows that are about the characters
and their lives, and this is one of them. It just so
happens that we learn about the characters and their
lives through the telling of X-Files." -Chris Carter
Australian's May 30-June 5, 1999
Sunday Telegraph TV Guide w/ DD on the cover.
"I think it's best not to, because once you form
a relationship between a man and a woman that's physical
or sexual or emtional, that becomes the focus of the
show." -David Duchovny, on his instincts towards
Mulder and Scully getting involved.
