"Mr. Go-tee, is it?"
"No, your honor. I'm Don Gottee. Like "Got-ee". A man in my position has a lot of stresses. I'm a legitimate businessman just tryin' to relax here, know what I mean?"
"Don-Don-Don! Youliketoparty? We should talk when you get outta jail! I'm Donal - Ooofff!"
Kirk's elbow knocked the air out of Donal's dealmaking.
Don "The Titanium John" Gottee had a reputation around the quadrant. Sexual harassment charges followed him around like tax collectors. Gottee ran a disposal business - disposing of waste, sewage, competitors, rivals, in-laws, lawyers...
"Mr. Gottee, tell me what happened at the resort."
"Your honor, I'm a hard workin' businessman. I pay for me and my family -"
The judged interrupted the testimony to ask a pertinent question.
"Was your family poolside when this happened?"
"Uh... You could say that."
Gottee leaned into the bench and lowered his booming voice.
"I meant my other family. I'd like to keep that quiet, if you understand me."
The judge got it; his own "vacation" wife lived in Rixx on Betazed.
"Continue, Mr. Gottee."
"I shell out 900-large [900,000 credits] for tickets for me, my lady and my staff to get all-access passes to this shindig."
Gottee's "staff" lined the courtroom walls, dressed in expensive - and ill-fitting - suits that bulged in all the wrong places.
"900-large!? Don-baby you and I gotta do lunch - OWWWW!"
Sulu surreptitiously slung his manacle chain into a tender part of Donal, stemming the social networking behaviors.
"We're making our way to the pool," Gottee continued, "when I see this Uhura broad bent over. Judge, you hadda be there. The all-access pass said everything was at my disposal - and I'm a guy who knows about disposal - I'm on Risa, right?
"So I used my pass to get my hands on her ass."
"Rumor has it, it was worth the beatin' Uhura's gettin' ready to give him." McCoy whispered to Carol Marcus from the galley.
"And who - other than Mr. Spock - would have that knowledge, Doctor?" Carol whispered back with a disapproving stare.
"Privileged medical information. I'll never tell." McCoy closed down that line of discussion before Mrs. Spock kicked his southern ass next.
Nyota Uhura spun towards Gottee, striking her akido self-defense position.
"My ass wasn't part of the entertainment!"
"It was sittin' right there." Gottee explained, "How was I supposed to know you wasn't part of my ticket? I mean - LOOK at her, judge. Tappin' that ass was worth the money. You woulda tapped that, wouldn't ya judge?"
Back when both were young lawyers hopping from planet to planet to make a reputation, Everright made the mistake of trying Gottee's "hands-on" introduction with M'Umbha Uhura. The young Lawler apparently mistook the younger M'Umbha for his wife.
When it rained, Everright's jaw still ached.
