"Hmm. . .very interesting. Wait, if Snodgrass's ancestor invented Reeses, why aren't they called Snodgrass's?"
"No commercial appeal."
"Oh. Okay. Well. . ."
"Whose d'you want next?"
"Um. . .is Chekov's in Russian, or English?
"English."
"Really?"
"Well, duh, if he said it in Russian I wouldn't be able to understand it, would I?"
"Oh. I guess not. Alright then; let's hear it."

"Personal Log: Ensign Pavel Chekov, Nawigator. And proud of it.
I zink I've done something wrong. I mean, really wrong. Spectacularly wrong. I've done worse than Peter the Great, vhen he built St. Petersburg on a marsh. Zat vas just stupid. He can't have been a Russian after all, could he?
Anyvay, back to zis wrong thing I think I've done wrong.
I put Sulu's Venus Fly trap next to his Cowslips. I mean, how vas I supposed to know he hadn't fed it in ages? He should have brought a supply of dead flies!
I tried to say this to him but he threatened to get his fencing foil and skewer me, so I thought I'd better give up.
So now he's stopped talking to me.
Anyvay. Vhy do I have to care about stupid non-Russians like him? We kicked Japan's butt in Vorld Var Two! And ve inwented Sushi, but zey stole it from us and said zey had done it!
Oh, oh, and today, guess vhat? The Keptin, he-who-must-be-obeyed, said zat ze Focker vasn't a Russian inwention either! Who does he think he is? Vhat, did ze Americans inwent ewerything? I don't think so.
And I hate Meester Spock. He alvays thinks he's right and eweryvone else is wrong, and he's alvays got this smirk on hees face, like he's better than eweryvone here bekaus he has pointed ears. Pfft.
Uhura says that he isn't like that at all. I think she likes him.
And I'm jealous.

"Uh oh."
"Uh oh? Whatcha mean?"
"I tink we might have a weeny case of. . .er. . .dislike on our hands. Wow have some of the crew got problems. . ."
