TPol: Know what you two need? A vacation.
Tucker: Know what you need? To shut up.
Archer: Hang on, Trip, she may have a point. Did you have anywhere particular in mind?
TPol: We could go back to that spore planet where Trip tried to kill me.
Tucker: You said that was a robot of you.
TPol: Ah yes, I forgot you knew that. How about Risa? Its a planet where dumb, dumb Trek episodes happen.
Archer: I like the sound of that.
Forrest: (over the comm) Hi, Jon. Toilet-paper any Vulcan ships lately?
Sato: I hope this Vulcan bag enjoys my quarters. Grumble.
Archer: Do the quarters pass inspection?
Mayweather: ....and then you fold the second flap in to the centre, just like the first....
VLar: Hi, Captain. Im VLar, but you can call me just VL.
Tucker: ...and heres our Chefs specialty. He calls it stuff Reed shoots, flamb.
VLar: Thanks for walking me back to your quarters.
Archer: I can tell youre upset, TPol. Is it my new haircut?
Captain: (over the comm) Wed like VLar back, please.
Sato: Were hit!
Reed: Woohoo! Weve disabled the Mazarite ship.
VLar: No, I cant tell you why they want me. No, I cant give you a good reason to protect me. No, I cant rub my stomach and pat my head at the same time. Any more questions?
Forrest: Youre messing up again, stupid. The Vulcans will vampirize us for this!
Tucker: I wish we were on Risa right now.
VLar: Lets reconcile, TP.
Porthos: Ruff ruff ruff! Rufffffff rufffffff rufffffff! Ruff ruff ruff!
Archer: Okay, Travis, turn the ship around.
VLar: Time to tell you all my secrets. First of all, they do it by suction.
Captain: (over the comm) And then I do what with the top corner?
Tucker: (over the comm) Were gonna lose warp! I cannae hold er any longer!
Archer: Welcome aboard. Its our custom to immediately play a full game of Monopoly with all visitors --
Mayweather: (over the comm) The Vulcans are here!
Captains Log: The fight is done and we kind of won, so we sound our victory cheer....
VLar: Farewell, Captain. Thanks for the memories.
THE END Discuss this reviews at Trek BBS!
Archer: How did you find out?
Forrest: Relax, its a joke. Listen... I have a secret, secret mission for you.
Archer: Are there secrets involved?
Forrest: Very possibly. I need you to go to the planet Mazar and pick up an old Vulcan who looks like Angela Lansbury.
Archer: Pick up Jessica VLetcher... got it. Anything else?
Forrest: Make your engineer stop wearing that Hawaiian shirt. Its so ugly I can see it from here.
Archer: From my ready room?
Forrest: From Earth.
TPol: Something wrong?
Sato: Do you know how much work its been to clear the place out? I had to move my books, my clothes, my debris collection, the lock of hair I keep to remember Marcus Cole by....
TPol: Who?
Sato: Guy I met on my inter-universe travels. He was bilingual. Rowr.
TPol: Yes, I think shell be happy here. I wouldnt be, but maybe Hoshis smell will be easier on her.
Sato: I heard that.
Archer: Well, as long as she doesnt demand quarters that face the other way. People like that are such a --
Sato: Im standing right here!
Archer: AAAAA! Who left Travis in command? Sorry, Your Highness, it wont happen again.
Important Mazarite: Hey, let him finish! Weve almost got paper airplane technology.
Archer: Maybe later. (Guards, kill Travis.) Anyway, wheres the Vulcan?
Important Mazarite: The one standing next to you, or the lawbreaking one on a shuttle heading for your ship?
Archer: The first one. Wait, the second. Wait, never mind.
Archer: Um... no thanks. So whats with the friendliness? TPol, why didnt you warn me there was a friendly Vulcan?
TPol: I didnt know. Excuse me while I glare at her.
VLar: I hope the rest of you are this much fun.
VLar: Sounds delicious. Does he do ethnic foods? Andorian, Mexican, that sort of thing?
Tucker: He hasnt done Mexican since the court order, but we get antenna stew on occasion.
VLar: Mmmmm... meaty.
Archer: TPol, stop glaring! Another minute and her hair is going to catch fire!
TPol: Dont thank me, thank the captain for handcuffing us together. Would you mind unlocking me now?
VLar: I sense... anger.
TPol: Yes. Also VLar, that humane criminal blatch.
Archer: Hey, shes not so bad. Except the criminal part. And humane doesnt mean human-like.
TPol: On my homeworld, it does.
Archer: I see.
TPol: On my homeworld, it is an expletive.
Archer: Thats not exactly going to happen, unless you have a coupon.
Captain: I do! Its in my pocket somewhere... gimme a sec to find it....
Archer: And while hes distracted, well polarize the hull plating. Right, Reed?
Reed: Pardon? Sorry, I was sending my weekly What Ive Shot report to Chef.
Archer: Target that explosion and fire!
Reed: That would mean firing at ourselves.
Archer: Dont contradict me, mister!
Archer: Excuse me? Weve differently abled the ship. Get it right. TPol, any idea why they came back?
TPol: Maybe VLar isnt really a Vulcan. You know, like the original TPel.
Archer: You are the most confusing person I know.
Archer: Boxers or briefs?
TPol: Shut up, Archer. I think its clear that VLar is a disgusting traitor who should be punished like anything.
VLar: As opposed to the other kind of disgusting traitor.
TPol: You shut up too!
Archer: Okay, folks, Ive decided on a plan. Were going to turn the ship around and head back.
TPol: A good, good plan, sir.
Archer: Thank you. Archer to Mayweather: set a course for Earth!
Archer: My every instinct tells me to hand over VLar to be mauled. Im just going where my heart will take me, Admiral.
Forrest: I suppose I cant argue with that. Just remember that if you fail --
Archer: -- Starfleet will deny all knowledge of my existence. I know, I know.
Reed: Me too.
Tucker: Do you suppose that when we get there, well end up wishing we were here?
Reed: Hah! Not likely.
TPol: Dont call me that! As far as Im concerned, youre just a humane --
VLar: TPol! My virgin ears! Look, if I tell you all my secrets, will you start taking my side?
TPol: Do you know the secret of how they put the caramel in the Caramilk bar?
VLar: Yes.
TPol: All right, we have a deal.
Archer: Good boy. Oh, hi TPol. Im teaching Porthos to bark in Morse code.
TPol: I dont think hes enjoying it.
Archer: Dont be silly. So, have you come to talk me out of my plan?
TPol: Yes, and Id like you to keep in mind how often that worked with Janeway.
Archer: Youre no Seven, honey.
TPol: D@mn straight! Im a nine out of nine any day.
Mayweather: Let me get this straight... were heading for the Vulcan ship now?
Archer: Vulcans? NEVER! No, no, wait, that is indeed the plan. Sorry, gut reaction there.
Mayweather: So for the Vulcans now, right?
Archer: Vulcans? NEVER! Wait, thats -- stop doing that!
Archer: Who do what?
VLar: Never mind. Second, Im not really in disgrace -- I was conducting a big sting operation.
Archer: I see.
VLar: And now I feel guilty, so turn back around and give me up.
Archer: I see.
VLar: Well?
Archer: I see.
TPol: Oh... sorry, VLar. I hypnotized him to make him agree, and I dont think hes out of it yet.
Archer: Travis! I cant leave you alone out here for three seconds, can I? Look, Mr. Mazarite Guy, were now going to show your our top speed. Also our dust.
Captain: You cant. The speed limit in this sector is Warp 3 for some environmental reason.
Archer: Heh. Next time, come up with a plausible lie.
Archer: Okay, new plan: we all act out a convincing scene to distract the Mazarites.
VLar: Oo, oo! Who do I play?
Archer: It really doesnt work that way, VLar.
VLar: Aw.
Captain: Where are you hiding the Vulcan?
Archer: Okay, you win. Shes under the bed.
Captain: Which one?
Archer: Oh, one of them.
Captain: There must be 150 on your ship!
Archer: Yeah, its one of those.
TPol: (Pssst... Captain, the plan isnt to make him so mad he kills YOU.)
Archer: I see.
Archer: What? Fire all weap-- wait, wait, never mind. You Mazarites can get off my ship now.
Captain: Fine. Youve won this round. But I shall return!
Archer: Not likely -- I dont see Jeffrey Combs under that makeup.
Archer: I thought I told Phlox to wipe them.
TPol: Hes getting negligent lately. By the way, whats Porthos doing here?
Archer: Hes going to say goodbye to VLar in Morse code in Vulcan. Check it out.
Porthos: Ruff rufffffff! Rufffffff ruff! Rufffffff rufffffff ruff! Ruff! Ruff rufffffff ruff ruff!
VLar: Captain! I certainly shall never set foot on this ship again!
Archer: Whoops. That may have been Vulcan for humane.
