This is one place where they certainly get the continuity right.
Mulder acts so pleased with himself telling the attendant to keep the
11 cents! Although I thought it was much more subtle and funnier in
the movie when he didn't say anything. The bar tender just gave him a
disgusted look when she counted the money.

Good call!! Keeps the continuity with "Bad Blood" too, and the lousy ($.02)
pizza tip.

I think Mulder is developing a rep for being a bad tipper, almost as
insidious as his porno habit and whole lot more disturbing <g>.

In Bad Blood the pizza is something like $11.85 and Mulder gives the pizza
boy $12, saying keep the change. Geez. No wonder the kid wanted to suck his
blood. Spend a buck Mulder. Maybe gov employees don't make that much, but
Pizza delivery guys are bottom feeders in the salary pool.

No wonder he doesn't go out on dates-- he might have to disturb the moths
in his wallet. He's not so scrupulous when it comes to spending our taxes!

Here's a question.

Do you think Mulder has a huge stash o cash piled up somewhere?

Or

Does he spend it all on unreimbursed plane fare?

His parents obviously had/have money. I wonder if his father left him
anything.

And yet in 'Never Again' he says he has to take a holiday because he can't
afford not to be paid for two weeks....

Bill strikes me as the kind of guy who would insist that his son make his

I can always rely on you Sean to have the accurate info, but I'm surprised
the pizza didn't cost $10.13 or $12.90 so the Pizza boy could give him 10
cents back from the $13.

I think the $13 is just as symbolic as the $10.13 would be. More so!
We're talking about monsters here, and when better than a Friday, the
13th, with a full moon, to experience vampires?

Don't forget Bad Blood where Ronnie tells him the pizza was $12.98 and
Mulder says here's $13! I definately wouldn't want to depend on Mulder
for my tips!

I will argue the "mystery tip" in 'Jose Chung.' When Mulder eats the
sweet potato pie, he slips the guy a bill, and walks out. How much does
pie cost in a restauraunt? You gotta figure Mulder gives him a $20, but
you never know. Probably a $50 or $100 dollar bill is out of the
question, but it could be a $20 or a $10. I know the other facts point
to him just giving a fiver, but I'm sure, even in small town America,
you can't buy a whole pie, piece by piece, for $5.

But that never happened. It was just a memory planted the MIB.
