Kirk: Fighting the Klingon terrorists is wrong. It will unfairly hurt minorities. Anyone proposing this attack on Klingons doesn't care about minorities. Sulu, set course for home. Full warp speed, Mr. Sulu. We don't want any sneak attacks as we gain ground to a safe port. Keep minorities in safety pods.
Mr. Spock: Captain. Your statement is most illogical. Logic dictates that minorities in the Federation benefit from fighting terrorism even more than non-minorities. The large urban areas are prime terrorist targets.
Kirk: Don't confuse me with the facts! As I see it, we are not retreating from the war. We are simply advancing to a safer location. Get to your safety pod, Mr. Spock. Your Vulcan blood makes you a minority. Right Bones?
Bones: Captain, I'm a doctor, not a shrink. But I think you're a raving lunatic.
Kirk: Are you questioning my patriotism Bones? Just because some of my friends visit the Klingons and lobby for them? It is wrong to call me unpatriotic! I demand an apology!
Mr. Spock: No Captain. The good doctor was simply making an astute hypothesis I happen to agree with. You are, as best we both can tell, missing a few dylithium crystals.
Kirk: I'm the Captain here! Don't you forget it! [sudden shift]. Sorry, sorry. I am just a bit concerned. That war with the Klingons 30 years ago was such a disaster. Minority groups were being exterminated.
Bones: That war, Jim? This seems to be an obsession with you. And your grip of the facts is grossly innaccurate. In my professional medical opinion, you are not fit to run this ship.
Kirk: Mutiny! Mutiny! I thought you were my friend, Bones. Spock! You are a minority! Surely you understand?
Mr. Spock: Your illogic, Captain, continues to elude me. I almost feel a human emotion to smack you around.
Bones to Spock: Don't be ashamed, Spock. Liberals have that affect on many sane people.
Scotty: Cap'n! This campaign is falling apart! I can barely hold her together! We must have some winning issues!
Kirk: Scotty! Use your head! Ask Clinton to organise another fund raiser!
Scotty: But Cap'n! Clinton is a terrorist pardoner. If the voters think you are dealing with terrorist pardoners...
Kirk: Just do it , Scotty!
Bones: I see a risk with this idea, Jim. What if Clinton wants to visit Texas?
Kirk: Good point, Bones. Scotty! Tell Clinton that if he shows his face in Texas, I'll kill him. Tell him I only want the money!
Scotty, shaking head in despair: Yes, Cap'n. But I do this under protest. Spock is right. If voters remember Clinton's pardon of the eleven FALN bomb terrorists...
Kirk: People forgot about that, Scotty. You ... must... get.... that money... from Clinton!
Mr. Spock: People forgot about the FALN pardons, Captain? 95 senators condemned Clinton for it. That is a highly illogical statement.
Bones to Spock: You just don't understand, you pointy eared brainiac. The captain is crazy, all right-- like a fox. [Bones flashes grin.] You think Texans are serious about terrorism? They don't care if Kirk gets cash from bin Laden himself.
Spock: I believe that logic will prevail on this, Doctor. Not even humans are that illogical. Perhaps it would be safer if Kirk got more money from Hicks.
Bones, shaking head: It's safer to get cash from a terrorist-pardoner. Please don't ask me to explain why. It's just a hunch.
