„Spock?"
„This is fascinating...it has five legs..."
„C´mon, Spock, I already know that one."

„Doctor..."
„Spock, that´s a joke used by schoolchildren. I know the last weeks were strenuous, but I should really get you into Sickbay when we´re back aboard to ensure your Vulcan brain´s allright."
„Doctor..."
„Can´t you pointy ear just let me do my work?"
