TSFS: Minor dialogue during return to Spacedock

[Ubiquitousclate]

Occurring during the Enterprise's return to Spacedock, and several seconds before Uhura says "would you look at that" in regard to Excelsior.

On-screen is the control booth(?) where control of opening and closing of Spacedock doors occurs, and the two young fellas doing so.

The line that I hear as perhaps "chatter" sounds to be "thing in" and comes right before another voice says "acknowledge; doors are closing."

It's so minor as to be laughable, but can it really be "thing in?"

I ask this and for years, when unable to raise shields during the battle with the BOP, I thought that Scotty said "urination system is overloaded," but knew that couldn't be right.

Not sure if a video link for this scene would help...?

I always heard it as "Say again." "Acknowledged, doors are closing."

I always heard "thing in," too, but it wouldn't be my only Trek mondegrene, especially from stuff I first saw when I was little. "Say again" certainly makes more sense.

I'm not sure if you're asking or already figured this out, but later in the movie, Scotty is saying "The automation system is overloaded."

Did you check the subtitles? I will if you haven't.

Definitely "say again"
