CC: The first day we felt like we were back was the day we sat at my house and read the script, and it was the first day we’d all been in a room together in five years. I don’t know if you can appreciate what that’s like, but when you go through basically a ten year experience with someone, and you’re put through the tests we were put through - stamina, and creative tests - it changes you. And we all changed together, so coming back together was a little bit of a sweet reunion.

Access reporter/fangirl: Have you noticed how their relationship has changed over the years with one another?

CC: I was just speaking to their representatives about that as I was walking down the hallway here, and they were saying how Gillian’s giggling, and David’s in a good mood, and they’re talking about, you know, the times, how hard the times were. I mean there were times when, to be honest, people weren’t speaking to one another. All of us went through those periods… it was just a test. It’s the way it goes when you do something for any length of time. Now we’re laughing about it, and it’s a good place to be. … I think everybody’s sort of bridged - if there were any divides, they’ve all been bridged.

I love the (implicit, and innocent) commentary of “Gillian’s giggling, David’s in a good mood.” Like, is that how low the bar is set? David’s in a good mood? David isn’t complaining today? David isn’t sullen? “People” are speaking to one another? HAHAHAHA, ohhh, I love it. But it’s still genuine and manages to be sweet.

DD: When we were waiting to go in and read for the network, uh, I forget, did I come up to you? We just started running lines with one another before we went in there, so—
GA: You were trying to pick me up.
DD: [thrown] Was I?
GA: [laughing] I don’t know —
DD: Was I? Do you think I was?
GA: No, no, I didn’t say that!

DD: There was something even then that kind of brought us together, and then, when we were doing the show, it just, you know, no matter what kind of troubles we had as people off the show, or with one another off the show, it just never affected that. So time doesn’t affect it, either. It’s like nothing affects it. It’s weird.
GA: There have been times, you know, when we were in the midst of shooting the series where we were exhausted and fed up with ourselves, with each other—
DD: Didn’t talk to one another. The only time we talked to one another was as Mulder and Scully, you know, for weeks at a time.
