Kirk: *is still thinking*

Sulu: *grumps* How long can this take?

Kirk: Aha! I've got it! We assemble a ship out of these plastic parts!

Sulu: WHAT plasti--

(They notice big grey pieces of plastic on the ground in front of them. One is squashing Chekov's toe.)

Chekov: O.O The... pain... *runs around screaming*

Spock: *nerve pinches him*

Chekov: Pain... *collapses*

Sulu: Oh, great.

Kirk: Mr. Scott!

Scott: Aye, sair?

(A pause.)

Kirk: Well?

Scott: Well what, sair?

Kirk: WELL?!

Scott: *puzzled* Sair?

Kirk: WELL?!?! GET TO WORK!

Scott: *brightens* Oh! Right, sair. *bustles off with some duct tape*

(Commercial break.)

("When the going gets tough, the tough use duct tape!")

(Back to the show.)

(A shuttle, with liberal amounts of duct tape, is now ready to go.)

Kirk: Brilliant, Mr. Scott. More duct tape for you. *hands him some*

Scott: *delighted* Thank you, sair!

Kirk: Now, let's go!

(Meanwhile... on the distant horizon... inside the Enterprise...)

Kahn: Well, they think this is going to work? *cliche villain laugh* I'll get them, just you wait James T. Kirk, just you WAIT!
