**Note: The "Z Morning Crew" consists of 4 or so
people, and it was pretty hard to tell who said what sometimes, so ZMC usually
means one person from the show talking {unless otherwise specified}. I tried to
put everything in, so if I missed something, sorry! But I'm pretty sure I got
everything... One other thing, the (?) symbol means I don't know how to spell
the word(s) in front of it OR I couldn't make out what the person said, so bare
with me!

{Zed} morning crew : It's the Z Morning crew at 7:08 ; welcomes back to the
show, A longtime favorite of ours, a former resident of Vancouver, it's...it's
that Duchovny guy! What's...what's his name?
DD: the answer's(?) David. [all
laughing]
ZMC: Hi David! {all at once}
DD: Well, it's nice to get a laugh just by
saying my name.
ZMC: [laugh] Yeeaah... it just tickled pink. Let it be known just off the
back: We miss you here!
DD: I miss Vancouver. How is it up there?
ZMC: Well, it's lovely- but you know, there is a void - no X-Files shooting
all over town. And quite frankly David, We miss stories from people who just
wanted to call up and talk about your big, long, disgustingly large COFFEE habit
at Starbucks! [laughing]
DD: I only went to the same Starbucks everyday, the
same one! It's the one on, uh, the one on Point Grey road.
ZMC: Yeah, right across from Malone's(?), right there on Cornwall, right
across from Kits Beach -
DD: You got it. That's the one. I need that
afternoon pick-me-up.
ZMC: Do you need one right now, or are you going to be okay?
DD: I just
got one!
ZMC: Oh good, okay! Alright! [laughing] We wanted to talk to you about a
couple things. Of course, the movie, Return to Me. Can we just say
congratulations! {Other DJs : "Oh, yeah, awesome" [clapping]} Finally, a chance
to ditch that trenchcoat and tie, stick on the V-neck sweaters and the Polo
shirts, huh?
DD: [laughing] Ahh, it felt good.
ZMC: We had, uh, the Z premire a couple weeks back and uh, don't mind telling
you one bit: 'thought that it was very charming, it truly was.
DD: Did you
weep like a baby?
ZMC: That's what he's trying to tell you, ever so coyly. {another guy}
DD: He can't quite admit it, can he?
ZMC: Uh, you know what? I will admit it. There's a couple of really powerful
scenes in there, including the one where you come home from the hospital
devastated.
DD: Yeah.
ZMC: And you and your dog Mel.
DD: I think it's a great movie. It's got a
lot of tears and a lot of laughs.
ZMC: That scene though, totally, it was very, very heartwrenching, um, like,
I'm trying to think afterwards how you conjered that up.
DD: Yhea, well
those are like the tricks of the trade, you know? I mean that's what makes it a
fun job and why you'd never want to tell anybody exactly what you were working-
ZMC: You didn't have an onion in your hand, did ya?
DD: Uh, well,
possibly, O-or a pin in my thigh or something.
ZMC: Sheez, No it was really good. And we were wondering how many takes you
had to do on that. {another guy: Yeah, gaphers(?), walkie-talkie goin' off in
the background, and there you are - "Oh wait! No, we need that again!"}
DD:
You've had- you've had some experience on sets...
ZMC: No. {another guy: Oh yeah}
DD: I think we just did two. I mean, for
me the way I work, it's really, I either get it or I don't - on like, the first
couple, so, um, 'cause then you're just trying to, like, re-created what you've
already done, and I feel like an idiot when I'm doing that. So I think we did
two. It's the first movie I've done in a while that I -that I really think
works, and it's just really... I don't know! I-It's just great to be in a really
good film, as stupid as that sounds...
ZMC: Well, here's to being in a film that works!
DD: Well, I appreciate
that- and you know what? I'm going to say this this now. If we ever do another
X-File movie, you know where I want to shoot it?
ZMC: LA?
Everyone : Noo!
ZMC: Vancouver!?
DD: COMIN' HOME!
ZMC: Yeah [clapping]. Actually, I've heard you, uh, have been talkin' about
that. That you might come up here to shoot that.
DD: I was - Well, there's
no plans actually to shoot that movie - But I would love to get the old crew
together and to spend three months up there. That'd be beautiful.
ZMC: Well, you know David, we'd like to bring a little piece of Vancouver
back to you. We've got the Z morning crew's version of "This is your life"
comin' up in-in just a l-little bit of a second. You just wanna hang on for just
a moment?
DD: Yeah, what it's that exactly?
ZMC: We'll explain that to you- this is where you have to wait.
DD:
[laughing] Alright, go ahead. [Commercial] {faint spooky music in background}
ZMC: ... Guest Appearance - David Duchovny! {another guy :Yah!} Hangin' out
on the Z lines, we hope you are - are you still there?
DD: Yeah, I'm here.
ZMC: You know, we thought, uh, we would bring back some fond memories you had
while you were in Vancouver.
DD: Okay.
ZMC: It was, uh, 5 great years wasn't it?
DD: Yes.
ZMC: Yhea, it's a long time. Uh, Well, what we would like to do this morning
is welcome you to the show with our own Z morning crew version of : "This is
your Life" (all together)
DD: [chuckling]
ZMC: David, do you remember in the 5th season of the X-Files - you're in the
GVRD shooting an episode called: "Detour"?
DD: Yes.
ZMC: Do you? [in surprised tone]
DD: Yes! [sounding surprised himself]
ZMC: In that episode there was a Florida state trooper, the lead (?) you knew
as the character, Officer -
DD: Yes!
ZMC: Fezeekus(?)
DD: Yes!!
ZMC: When you walk forward, it looks like he takes a good look at your butt-
do you remember that awkward screen moment?
DD: Not specifically, but I
remember the episode!... [laughing]
ZMC: Well, that same trooper is actually working for us now... he's Nick, THE
GUY! (together), and he's in here with us.
Nick: Good Morning David!
DD:
Why'd you look at my ass like that? [jokingly] [laughing]
Nick: Well, I
didn't! It just ended up LOOKING like I looked at your ass!
DD: So you were
just kinda lookin' down, and it happened to be- my ass was in the area?
Nick: Yeah, it just happend to be that way.
DD: Are you saying I got a
big ass?
Nick: No! Not at all. I-I was, you know, trying to learn... I went
throught the, uh, the school of ass-acting and I was just trying to, uh, learn
from that- [everyone laughing]
ZMC: It's like joey from friends - "Smell the ass-acting"-
Nick: Exactly.
DD: That's still ass-ler (?)
Nick: [laughing]
ZMC: Do you want to go on, or can you shut those taps off from your eyes for
just a second?
DD: [still laughing] O-Oh, okay, okay.
ZMC: Okay. Now how 'bout that famous episode - 5x18, called, "The Pine Bluff
Variant"?
DD: Oh yeah.
ZMC: Where there was this amazing shot of you when you said, "If you touch me
again, you'll have to kill me", and then the skinhead proceeded to break your
left little finger.
DD: You got the skinhead there?
ZMC: No.[laughing] No- we've done better than that! With our massive research
department we have tracked down... The guy whose finger really was broken
instead of yours! It's your hand double, Glen Barwise! (?)
Glen: Hey David.
DD: Hey Glen, how are ya?
Glen: Not too bad, i'm not sure you actually
remember me- but, uh-
DD: How's the hand?
Glen: Uh, it's recovering,
it's recovering... [happy tone]
DD: That guy would go a bit overboard
wouldn't he?
Glen: [chuckle] Yeah, well, 18 takes of that in second unit was
a little rough - I actually needed that bandage for the next two episodes that
they had you wearing, and me too.
DD: [laugh] Well, god, just all the
memories are floodin' back.
ZMC: Welll come back and make that movie, would ya?!
DD: Is that it?
that's all-
ZMC: [laughing] Okay, we did a LITTLE bit of research, okay?
DD: That's
it?
ZMC: Yeah, we didn't do a lot- we said we did a little bit...
DD:
...5x18, I loved that! [everyone laughing] that was really cool.
ZMC: {voices overlapping} Ahh! DAVID Duchovny! [clapping] Return to Me in
theaters now, it's a great film. Thank you for joining us. Go see it it's really
sweet. Give our best to your lovely wife Tea and to your family, okay? Yeah,
Happy anniversary!
DD: My best to the fair city of Vancouver, my love, and I
miss you all.
ZMC: Hey! It's 7:26 with the Z morning crew...
