(SPOCK walks into Einstein's Folly and finds BLAIR shooting pool and
muttering to himself. MULDER is watching and drinking beer.)
BLAIR: Azure. Cerulean. Hazy. Midnight. Powder-blue. Sky-blue.
Ice-blue. Lapis. Cobalt. Sapphire. *Indigo*, for God's sake--
SPOCK: Blair?
BLAIR: --not to mention fucking *lilac* and God knows what else.
SPOCK: Blair, what is it you are doing?
BLAIR: I'm reciting the thesaurus and shooting pool.
(MULDER stirs and speaks up.)
MULDER: He's reciting colors fanfic writers call his eyes. Oh, and
Jim's eyes.
BLAIR: They're a nice blue. His eyes. Pale. Slightly gray. But
*ordinary*. Not six million shades. They're just eyes. (He begins to
mumble to himself.)
SPOCK: Ah. I confess that I have never suffered such a fate. My eyes
are black. Occasionally people call them dark brown, but that is all.
MULDER: You're lucky.
SPOCK: I believe you and Jim Kirk would have much to commiserate about.
Hazel. Gold. Green-flecked--
MULDER: Gray. Stormy. Little gold bubbles rising. Same shit,
different fandom.
(They watch Blair, who is still muttering under his breath, sink the
8-ball.)
MULDER: He handles that cue well.
SPOCK: And those balls.
MULDER: Those azure eyes must be good for something. Or is it
'midnight'?
SPOCK: I believe I would call it 'hazy'.
(BLAIR glares at them.)
BLAIR: Laugh it up, fuzzballs.
MULDER: As if you'd know? Do you have any idea how often I get shaved
in fanfic?
BLAIR: Not often.
MULDER: Well, if it's the right kind of fanfic.
BLAIR: Just shut up.
(He grabs his coat and heads for the door.)
SPOCK: Where are you going?
BLAIR: I'm going to get some color contacts. I'm thinking yellow and
red stripes. I'd like to see them 'indigo' that.
MULDER: You mean 'azure'.
(BLAIR slams the door as he leaves.)
MULDER: That man has no sense of humor.
SPOCK: At least he is not morose.
MULDER: Are you saying I'm morose?
SPOCK: Yes.
MULDER: Well, you have no sense of humor, *and* you're morose.
SPOCK: Are you certain?
MULDER: Yes.
SPOCK: Ah. Perhaps I should not have put the aphrodisiac in your beer,
then. That would be out of character.
MULDER: Oh, God. Is this going to be another trip to HunkaHunka Burnin'
Vulcan Land? I'm still sore from the last time...
