Preston: "I believe you'll find everything ship-shape, Admiral." Kirk:
"Oh do you? Do you have any idea, Midshipman Preston, how many times
I've had to listen to Mister Scott on the com telling me his troubles?
Do you have any idea the ribbing I've had to endure in the Officer's
Mess to the effect that the Enterprise is a flying death trap?" Preston:
"Oh no, sir. Well, this is the finest engine room in the whole Starfleet!
If the Admiral can't see the facts for himself, then with all due
respect, he's as blind as a Tiberian bat..." Scott: [Clears throat]
Preston: "Sir!"
-- "STII:TWOK", Stardate 8130.4
