Oh, but wait, those were pretentious, weren't they, not sappy? Sorry, my bad.
LOL. That's exactly the distinction. :)
Is it that sappy to think Mulder might have just wanted to take Scully to England for a roll in the hay? Oh well.
Not at all. Just that the way he chose to express it seems a bit... standard. Mulder is far quirkier than that. I would expect him to say something like, "I wanted to sit with you inside West Kennet Long Barrow while the rain poured down outside." Which also reminds me, there's also a small factual error in the story as Mulder was going to Avebury and not to Stonehenge!
