Some illogical things (2)
The cave
McCoy is in the Captain's quarters. He is reporting in detail the last mission, in a grave tone.
"Spock was jealous of me! He lost his control and tried to strangle me! I succeed to reach his logical soul and he suddenly realized that I was right! Spock was acting like his ancestors, five thousand years in the past. You know, he has eaten meat and has fallen in love with the woman… I had to tell him that we must return in our present time, letting the girl behind us, alone."
Now, Leonard looks at his friend. Tears are rolling down his face…
Suddenly, behind his desk, against all odds, Kirk takes his face in both his hands and begins to laugh!
"Jim! How dare you laugh like this! I' m telling you that Spock is probably suffering from the loss of this woman! He made love with Zarabeth and she is dead now!"McCoy shouts, angry.
"Ahahah…Sorry! …I'm sorry! Ahahaha…"
"JIM! Stop it! This is not funny! Are you insane or are you becoming emotionless like a Vulcan? …Well, this is unfair for Spock! Do you realize that he was happy in her arms? This was perhaps the first time…"
"Bones…Calm down! Please, I am sorry…I will explain myself…" Jim says, regaining his seriousness.
"I'm listening!"
"Well…Okay…I was thinking about you in this cave. I was imagining that instead of Spock, YOU acted like our human ancestors, five thousand years in the past, you know …You, a prehistoric man, wearing clothes made from animals skins and fur, speaking with incomprehensible grunts …Poor Zarabeth…At least, she would have a beautiful cave with hands and hunting scenes printed on the wall!"
"Jim … You are an idiot! …But you're right." McCoy adds with a sad smile. "Zarabeth was lucky with Spock. Five thousand years ago, Vulcans were at least an advanced people, barbaric but more civilized than our poor ancestors!"
"Leonard, I'm sorry. I made fun of this story but in reality I'm sad for Spock…Do you think that I should speak with him?"
"No way! But you could invite him to play chess…I am sure he will be satisfied by the distraction." McCoy replies.
