KIRK MAKES AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE ENTIRE CREW

Now hear this. Through a twist of fate and some poor calculations by my Exec Officer, the Enterprise is out of fuel and coasting. Normally that would not be so bad but this time we are going to enter the gravitational field of the Tobro Star system and we, in no more than 16 hours, are going to be history. That is all.

Ah, Captain, I hope you were not referring to me when you said the Exec Officer.

(glaring at Spock)

Mr. Spock, you are precisely who I was referring to. You and your homemade computer you use for critical calculations.

Captain, I fail to see how impugning my computer makes you feel better.

Well, Mr. Spock, it just does.

I see.

(beat)

Well, we now have 15 hours 20 minutes to figure out how to get out of our current dilemma.

Indeed, Mr. Spock. I suggest you get going, but on a better computer this time.

KIRK SUMMONS MR. SCOTT ON THE INTERCOM

Mr. Scott. Do we have enough impulse power to -

- Captain! I hardly think this is the time for the use of impulse power. We're all going to die!

(glancing boastingly at his crew on the bridge)

That's enough, Mr. Scott.

Lt. Uhura. See if it might be possible to get a starship repair guy out here, pronto.

But Captain Kirk. I have no experience dealing with repair men.

(annoyed)

Quiet, Lt. Please call the repair guys. Let me worry about dealing with them.

But, but, -

Lt. Uhura! Call Jake's!

Yes sir.

Perhaps I should try to repair it, Captain.

You mean, since you caused it in the first place?

So you say.

So I say?! Ah, Spock ... Who's the Captain?

You are.

Right you are.
