This is hilarious. Chris Carter made sure every one of Scully’s lines had no widows throughout the 9 years of writing for the character. Crazy!
Gillian Anderson reveals that The X-Files creator spent nine years manipulating her dialogue into weird geometric shapes, banning all "widows" from her script pages
"Chris Carter came up to me who was directing the feature. He looked at my sides where my lines were, and he said, 'Look, no widows'"
"No widows on your little paragraphs that each character has. The word went all the way to the end with the period, so there wasn't, you didn't like end halfway through that line"
"So it was a perfect rectangle. So the dialogue was designed visually for nine years"
