Scenes with Scotty

3 scenes

You are, in fact, the Mr. Scott who postulated the theory of transwarp beaming?

Scotty

That's what I'm talking about! How do you think I wound up here? Had a little debate with my instructor on relativistic physics and how it pertains to subspace travel. He seemed to think that the range of transporting something like a, like a grapefruit was limited to about a hundred miles. I told him that I could not only beam a grapefruit from one planet to the adjacent planet in the same system - which is easy, by the way - I could do it with a life form. So, I tested it out on Admiral Archer's prized beagle.

Kirk

Wait, I know that dog. What happened to it?

Scotty

...I'll tell you when it reappears. [clears throat] I don't know. I do feel guilty about that.

Scotty

The notion of transwarp beaming is like trying to hit a bullet with a smaller bullet whilst wearing a blindfold, riding a horse.

Scotty
[Spock writes something on Scotty's computer terminal.]

What's that?

Your equation for achieving transwarp beaming.

Scotty
[mutters]

Get out of it... [reads the equation and gapes] Imagine that! It never occurred to me to think of space as the thing that was moving!

Kirk

What's it like? Not to feel anger or heartbreak, or the need to stop at nothing to avenge the death of the woman who gave birth to you?

Spock:

Back away from me-

Kirk

You feel nothing! It must not even compute for you! You never loved her! [Spock attacks Kirk in anger]

Sarek
[Spock is choking Kirk]

Spock!

Spock
[breaks off; to McCoy]

Doctor, I am no longer fit for duty. I hereby relinquish my command on the grounds that I have been emotionally compromised. Please note the time and date in the ship's log.

Scotty
[after an awkward silence]

I like this ship! You know, it's exciting!

McCoy

Well congratulations, Jim, now we've got no captain and no goddamn first officer to replace him.

Kirk

Yeah, we do. [Kirk sits in the Captain's chair]

Sulu

Pike made him first officer.

McCoy

You've gotta be kidding me!

Kirk

Thanks for the support.
