GILLIAN: Oh. You could have like shown a part where we were kissing or somethin'.
JON: You and David Duchovny kissing?
GILLIAN: Yeah! No Scully and Mulder kissing.
JON: Oh. I'm sorry. Scully and Mulder, that's what I meant. Not David Duchovny. Uh. Mulder. Uh. So are you guys gonna, you know, cuz there's a lot of questions on the Internet about that if you guys are gonna to get together.
GILLIAN: Yeah I know I've had to answer that question a lot. Well it seems like they've taken care of it for us a little bit with these... you're kind of the carnisore of porno films right?
(Crowd Laughs)
JON: Well, well, well looks like somebody's been reading my diary. All right. Uh. I've seen a couple and I've also rented some musicals as well. (Crowd Laughs) I enjoy those so... Uh yes you have your own uh-

JON: It's called the Sex Files.
GILLIAN: I don't have a copy. Apparently Mr. Duchovny does. But uh-
JON: Yeah. It's good...
GILLIAN: I'll borrow it sometime...
JON: The plot's OK. There's a guy a delivery guy. An alien. And you guys end up doing it with him. (Crowd Laughs) It's uh pretty uh--you know, it's cool.
GILLIAN: Wow.
JON: I won't tell ya how it ends. (Crowd Laughs) All right, they all have sex!
GILLIAN: They do!
JON: Yeah they enjoy it.
GILLIAN: Wow.
JON: That's the true measure of success isn't it.
GILLIAN: It is.
JON: To get your own porno. But you guys have everything. Magazine covers and that. Did you have any idea this thing was gonna be, the huge monster that it is?

JON: But we're bombing. No!
(Crowd Laughs)
GILLIAN: You are?
JON: No it's not a problem. I'm just kidding. (Laughs) Um we don't have a comic book cover based on the show. You guys have a-a-Look at that! A comic book. An X-Files comic book. (Crowd Claps) Wow. That was an odd artist's interpretation of you.
GILLIAN: It certainly was.
JON: Because you're quite lovely and then you look at the cover and perhaps they didn't capture your loveliness. Yeah. (Crowd Laughs) Yeah see that doesn't look like you at all for God's sakes. Do people like send you stuff in the mail, like illustrations of you and that sort of...
GILLIAN: They do, they do, they send me uh pictures they've drawn of me and ask me to sign them and send them back. Some guy actually sent me a piece of china that had my likeness on it but he neglected to put clothes on me so I'm like naked from here up.
JON: I got that one too.

GILLIAN: You do!
JON: Mm-hmm got the porno plates too. Got it all. No, no I don't it's just my whole commemorative porno set that I have. (Crowd Laughs) The plates. Oh man I'm really in trouble now. Aren't I?

GILLIAN: No.
JON: OK. (Crowd Laughs) No need to embellish. Ever feel bad when you kill a monster?
GILLIAN: No.
JON: All right. (Crowd Laughs) No...
GILLIAN: No I don't feel bad when I kill a monster. (JS Laughs, Crowd Claps) You learn that in high school don't you, you know you have to start then you have to finish the sentence...
JON: (Laughing) Then you repeat the question. All right. All right. You're getting an A.
