"Okay, Carol, put him through.... Cap-Captain Kirk? Yes. Okay, Yeah... I can barely hear you... You're on the other side of the Galaxy... Well, that would tend to make reception a bit dicey... How--How Can I help you?... Rigellian Fever? Well, I'm not an MD.... Oh, you have the cure... Then why are you... You Can't Get The Cure... Kind Of Puts You Back At Square One, then... Mmmhmm. 6000 years old, you say? Been-been around the block, then. Probably built the block, too... Mister..Mister Flint?.... Well, I can see you being protective of Rayna, but we all have to let go sometime... But Not You, I see... Did You Write That Piece? I always liked it... You Painted.... Well, well--why was she smiling?...Gas? Oh, oh, that's a joke... What did you do in the 20th Century?.... Is That So?.... Then was 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' a reference to... Mister Spock... No, chit-chat is not logical, I agree... Yes, we humans do tend to go on and on.. Sure... Well, Spock, sounds to me like T'Pring just wasn't the girl for you.... Your Mother embarrassed you? Don't-don't even get me started, there... Ok... Well, call him Captain, mostly, and Jim in private, then... Doctor McCoy?... Boy, could you do something about this reception?... Yes, I realize you're not a Communications Officer... So, the girl in question is an android... being torn apart by emotions... Spock says that-that the pain of love destroyed her.... Have you tried waking her up?... She's-she's not sleeping... Captain Kirk? Yes. You should just forget all about her... Forget.... Yes, Mister Spock, I realize that you can probably help him forget better than me... Oh, she WAS sleeping... ( Covers phone ) Heh. Guess who was wrong, 'Bones'... ( Goes back ) Rayna? Yes, this is Doctor Hartley.... Well, if you want to go to college before making a choice, I say that's a pretty good idea...Okay!... Captain?.... Well, if she tries to take over your body, then she's not really your friend, now is she?...Ok. Take Care...Bye."

( Phone rings again )

"Yes? Mmmhmmm. You're Captain Kirk's nephew? Yesss....THREE heads, you say? Welll, at least he always has someone to talk to...Peter?....Hello?"
