• Uhura : [on the bridge of the USS "Enterprise": the "Enterprise"'s shuttlecraft has gone missing, leaving Mr. Scott in command]  What do you think it means, Mr. Scott?

  Scott : The shuttlecraft was on schedule until it was shy 5 hours of rendezvous. Then something happened.

  Uhura : Well, I'd feel a lot better if you were a little more definite.

  Scott : [looking a bit stumped]  It didn't wreck, there was no debris, there's no trace of expelled internal atmosphere, no residual radioactivity... Ah, it's... something took over. Tractor beams, maybe. Something. They dragged it away on the heading we're now on.

  Uhura : If there are no further traces, how are we gonna' follow them?

  Scott : [pragmatically]  We stay on this course. See what comes up.

  Uhura : [gives him a sly look, then teases him with a Scottish accent]  It's a big galaxy, Mr. Scott.

  Scott : [gives her a look, slight pause]  ... Aye.
