"I'm sorry I never take you anywhere...scenic, Nyota."

"Why, Scotty, what are you talking about? You take us all to wonderful new places every day. Not that I don't appreciate a special, individual date, but don't think I don't think it's so romantic, the way you get us where we need to go."

Scotty sighed. "I'm no helmsman, lassie."

"On Earth, we take hovercabs. Does that make everyone who hails one a hack?"

He sighed again, and Uhura's smile redoubled her indulgence.

"No, but it sounds like it means I'll have to build you one, when we get back."
