You know take it from me, not all jobs are things you want for the rest of your life. I mean who wants to work at a fast food joint until they have to retire? Or in the case of Agent Scully here work in the FBI investigating all matter of odd situations? After all the constant weirdness, conspiracies, the frequent abductions that lead to you usually in all kinds of mortal danger just doesn't sound like a job for somebody who wants a little relaxation.
I mean here you are in the basement of one Suzie Nyung who seemed like a sweet, peppy, and absolutely normal history major..until you discover that she's the leader of a cult that worships a Cambodian goddess of destruction. And now your chained to the floor, tape over your lips, and some psycho chick is dancing around with a knife. And you just know this is a bad situation that can end in results that just aren't appealing for you. And you just have to wonder if you should have just taken that nice boring desk job.
Of course with Scully's luck the desk job most likely involves a pack of secretaries who now worship an alien cult which somehow involves Scully getting tied to the desk.
There is, of course, the possibility that Scully is a closet addrenalin junkie and getting into scrapes like this lets her feed her addiction....at first they may have been terrifying situations but afterwards everything feels so...bland. Her solution? Allow herself to be kidnapped on an almost weekly basis and get her buzz!
ReplyDeleteWell yeah but that's much better than my argument so I think ignoring you is better!
ReplyDeleteBeing in such high demand as a damsel in distress, she may need an agent to handle all the requests.
ReplyDeleteI've always envisioned Scully as the Chief Inspector for the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management. I figure her job description would include personal, private -- and involuntary -- inspections of the myriad timber processing facilities around the country. I think my plant would be first on her list.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, I'm guessing that fooling around with so many knife-wielding cultists might affect her severance pay.
