TITLE: A Therapy Session with Chris (Post Fight Club) AUTHOR: Alelou FEEDBACK: Alelou123@aol.com (please remember the 123) CATEGORY: Humor, Post-Episode SPOILERS: Fight Club, all things, Hollywood AD RATING: G DISCLAIMER: This is just a joke. Please don't sue me. But Chris, sweetie, maybe you need to get help... ARCHIVE: I don't know about this one. Ephemeral OK, others please ask. NOTES: It just seemed so obvious once I started thinking about it... SCENE: A plush office in Beverly Hills Therapist: So, Chris, I saw Fight Club Sunday night. CC: Yeah, what did you think? Therapist: I think we should talk about it. CC: Oh oh. Therapist: Obviously, we've been discussing some of your difficulty this year in your professional relationships. CC: Uh huh... Therapist: But I thought we were making progress. CC: Yeah, we're making progress. Therapist: So what's the deal with that episode? CC: What are you talking about? Didn't you like it? Therapist: That's not what I'm talking about. CC: Well, you know it was filmed weeks ago. Therapist: Uh huh. CC: The end of the season is always a killer. Therapist: So did the fans like it? CC: (Scowls) Nah, they're all bitching and moaning about how what a waste of the remaining eps it was. Therapist: I heard those are mostly fans in the stands during that boxing scene. CC: (Smiling) Yeah. Therapist: So you invited a bunch of fans in and then you had them beat each other up? CC: It was a great scene! Therapist: And you also had your two main characters beat each other up? CC: No, those were the doppelgangers. Therapist: I see. Tell me, did you personally supervise that make-up job at the end? CC: (Laughs) It was pretty cool, wasn't it? Therapist: I notice Duchovny spent a lot of time in a manhole. CC: Yeah. Therapist: Did that make you feel better? CC: It was funny! Therapist: Uh huh. He also befriends the guy who keeps stealing all the money. CC: Yeah. Therapist: Money issues are big between you this year, yes? CC: Oh, you know, the suits handle all that stuff. Therapist: Uh huh. CC: I get the feeling you really didn't like this episode. Therapist: Actually, from a purely professional point of view, I found it a goldmine. CC: Oh. Therapist: Tell me about Scully in this episode. CC: What about her? She got to run the show, you know. Therapist: Yeah, Mulder kept saying that. CC: That's what Gillian's always moaning about. Therapist: Of course, the show she ran ended up with them beating each other up. CC: It was funny, don't you think? Therapist: You didn't really like it when Gillian wrote and directed her own show this season, did you? CC: No, I liked it. Though she was pretty dead-set on what she wanted, never mind when it didn't make great television. Therapist: But the fans liked her episode? CC: Well, you know the fans. Therapist: So, in this one she's dealing with the Very Angry Man. CC: Yeah, that was a hoot. "What's so special about you?" Therapist: So where'd you get the idea for that? CC: I dunno. Therapist: Uh huh. I noticed in her episode there was some suggestion that those two had, um, consummated their relationship. CC: Yeah, well, just a suggestion. Therapist: And Duchovny's episode certainly ended with some couple-type behavior. CC: Yeah, they're both into that this year... Therapist: But yours suggested that was, hmm, what was the word, "farfetched?" CC: Yeah, that was a little in-joke. Therapist: Uh huh. So, did you like the episode? CC: I thought it was fun. That was all it was about, you know. Blowing off a little steam, playing off the whole wrestling craze during sweeps, you know the drill. Therapist: Uh huh. CC: What? Therapist: So did it help you move on? CC: I don't know. Can we talk about something else? Therapist: Okay, tell me about the finale. CC: No way! Therapist: What do you mean? CC: Trust no one, baby. Therapist: What if I told you I have serious concerns that you're letting your personal issues interfere with your professional career? CC: I'd say thank you very much, and I'll take it under advisement. But you're not getting anything out of me! Therapist: Damn! THE END
