Being Chief Engineer of the Enterprise is every engineer's dream job and Scotty has no plans to give it up until they carry him off.
Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott of the USS Enterprise – take that, Admiral Archer (and your little dog too)!
Double shifts are status quo for Scotty and no one, not even the Captain, can do anything to change that.
Engineering is Scotty's domain, and woe-betide to the person who forgets.
Face-time with Scotty is one of Jim's true pleasure because he is the one person who loves the Enterprise more than Jim does.
Guilty pleasures don't get much better than sipping Scotty's moonshine while his accent gets thicker and he tells the story, one more time, of how he saved the Captain.
