Bigfoot, No Joke to Mulder
‘They vanished in the same forest without a trace. Not one of them was ever found or heard from again.’
‘And you suspect what?’ Scully asked. ‘Bigfoot maybe?’
‘Not likely,’ Mulder answered deadpan. ‘That’s a lot of flannel to choke down. Even for Bigfoot.’
Scully sighed. She should have known better than to joke about Bigfoot to Mulder. Bigfoot wasn’t a joke to him.
