1. No, I was once, thanks, but that abated quickly.
2. But thanks for using my real rank, which gets mixed up or left out a lot.
3. I'm delighted you're delighted!
4. You guys in there really "crack" me up with this dialogue exchange!
[subclue - It's pretty black and white]
5. Shoot, even I was worried by that stunt.
6. I will now provide an excruciatingly detailed play-by-play until the captain informs me that no one cares.
7. I will now smugly hold forth on genetics until about two scenes from now. Should have waited?
8. What am I drinking? (Or not drinking?)
WOW, quite a list of clues. How about "
Romulan Commander" from
The Enterprise Incident:
1. The Commander last saw Kirk was dead, but later she sees him on the bridge with his new ears.
2. The Commander constantly calls Spock as "First Officer Spock", not Commander Spock. Same with "Engineer" Scott and not Lt. Commander Scott.
3. I think they are talking about food.
COMMANDER: I've had special Vulcan dishes prepared for you. I hope they're to your liking.
SPOCK: I am very flattered, Commander. There's no doubt that the cuisine aboard your vessel is far superior to that of the Enterprise. It is indeed a very powerful recruiting inducement.
4. Kirk accuses Spock as a traitor. Then the Vulcan death grip.
5. The Commander slaps Spock across the face really hard after Spock reveals that he seduced and conned her.
COMMANDER: Why would you do this to me? What are you that you could do this?
SPOCK: First officer of the Enterprise. (Broken-hearted, she slaps his face.) What is your present form of execution?
6. Spock drones on and on during his "Right of Statement" waiting for Chekov to locate him and Kirk to order him transported.
SPOCK: I demand the Right of Statement first.
COMMANDER: You understand Romulan tradition well. The right is granted.
SPOCK: Thank you. I shall not require much time. No more than twenty minutes, I should say.
7. She gets Spock all worked up then spoils the moment, but Spock puts it back on topic.
COMMANDER: With me. Romulan women are not like Vulcan females. We are not dedicated to pure logic and the sterility of non-emotion. Our people are warriors. Often savage. But we are also many other pleasant things.
SPOCK: I was not aware of that aspect of Romulan society.
COMMANDER: As a Vulcan, you would study it. As a human you would find ways to appreciate it.
SPOCK: Please believe me. I do appreciate it.
COMMANDER: I am so glad. Now one final step to make the occasion complete. You will lead a small party of Romulans aboard the Enterprise, and there you will take your rightful place as its commander. And you will lead the ship to a Romulan port, with my flagship at its side.
SPOCK: Yes, of course, but not just this moment. An hour from now will do even better. Would it not, Commander?
8. "We have other inducements." She offers Spock a glass of blue liquid (Romulan Ale?
). He accepts, they silently toast each other and drink. Later, orange liquid (wtf?
) is being poured out as Spock eats.
