    The Ten Gushiest Things Nero Wolfe Has Said To Archie Goodwin.

    10)  Confound it, it's preposterous and insulting that I might lose your talents and services merely through the whim of a mechanism.

    9)  I have noted, perhaps in more detail than you think, your talents and capacities.  You are an excellent observer, not in any respect an utter fool, completely intrepid, and too conceited to be seduced into perfidy.

    8)  I concede your craft, your finesse, and your gumption.

    7)  It is you, and since I decided long ago to put up with you, I even welcome it.

    6)  It is satisfactory to have you back.

    5)  I forwent cheese and coffee and came at once.

    4)  You have your gifts, Archie.

    3)  Confound it, did you arrive safely or not?

    2)  Archie.  If I need to tell you, I do, that I have unqualified confidence in you and am completely satisfied with your performance in this case, as I have been in all past cases and expect to be in all future ones.

    1)  Very satisfactory.

(This list is not courtesy of Nero Wolfe, who, if pressed, would probably deny outright that he had ever said any of these things)

       9)  Um...Scully, I don't know how to tell you this, but that wasn't caviar.

       8)  Come take a look through this microscope-- I want you to see the one I've named Samantha.

       5)  Three guesses whose eggs these are....

       4)  Happy Birthday!

       0)  Here, I hope you have womb for these.

      -1)  Scully, check it out-- I haven't worn this suit in months, and look what I found in the pockets...

    Next project wouldhave been Pretendery, if the show hadn't begun to suck.  Instead we found ourselves compelled to do the following.

Top Ten Things Overheard at the Production Meeting for the X-Files/Millenium Crossover episode

10) Has anyone here actually seen a single episode of Millenium?  No? That's fine...
 
 9)  What this episode needs is a shovel fight.
