Disagreement

This odd little scene takes place at midnight, in a house of Shikkar.

"Let me in!"

A feverish Vulcan is staring at his wife in the darkness of a corridor leading to a bedroom, his son's bedroom. His blood is boiling but this doesn't result of his anger. Sarek is a Vulcan. He does not feel or show anger. Soon, he knows it, he will have to act like any male of his species, and soon he will NEED to show another side of him to his wife. But now, he has to control, he has to pretend to be in control. He has to behave like a Vulcan father. Well, he is thinking that he has to. He spent the whole day and the evening at the Embassy and has returned only now at home...

"One of my aids told me what happened. Let me pass, my wife. I have to punish him…He has dishonored his family…"

"Sarek, you won't cross that door!" His wife threatens. She knows that his husband will soon enter his time of mating. She knows that, as his wife, she is going to be there when the time comes but now, she is a mother, and she is going to guard this door like any Lematya mother has to! In his state, Sarek is dangerous. She has to protect her son. Oh, why this argument must arrive at a bad time?

"Amanda, you agreed to teach Spock the Vulcan way! He has misbehaved by hitting this boy at the shopping mall today. He would not have broken the arm of his peer. He did not act like a Vulcan."

"You mean, like a pure Vulcan? Do you mean that you would have preferred that your son react like the other witnesses who were there? Do you mean that your son would had to stay right there, saying nor doing nothing when those boys have called me a whore, when these boys insulted him by calling him a sub-product of Human Shit? Do you mean that our son misbehaved by defending my honor when one of those boys pushed me down by my hair? NOW listen to me, Sarek! YOU are going to find him and tell him that you are proud of him …or I swear that I will take him and go so far away in the galaxy that you will never see us again!"

"Noooo! Mother, don't let him alone or he will die! Please, Mother, don't leave him! Please!" Spock, ten years old, has just walked past his mother in order to join his father!

"Do you hear him, Sarek? Do you hear your son taking your defense? Don't you see how much he cares about you?" Amanda shouted, crying. "Is his half-human behavior dishonoring you again?" She adds, furious.

Sarek is watching his wife and son with disbelief, his son is apparently aware of his state and its consequences.

"Amanda, my beloved wife…I …I wasn't told that you have been hurt and threatened by those boys…I …I'm sorry…" Sarek can't hold back his own tears while watching his brave son with a proud look. "Yes…I'm proud of him …and of his Human mother…" Sarek replies while watching his son intensely. "I …I must meditate now…in our bedroom." He adds before stroking the hair of his wife with a shaking hand.

"And I will be there soon…" Amanda replies, tenderly. "First, I must call my sister. It is 3 am in Seattle. She agrees to take our son with her for a small vacation…" She smiles at Spock and Sarek. "Your cousins and grand-parents will be happy to see you again!"
