gold trek iii

Dr Nick: ...its illogical Captain.
ML: what is illogical?
Dr Nick: The Conundrum...is illogical
Dr Nick: The Gateway...is illogical
Dr Nick: You...are illogical.
ML: I can understand why the Conundrum is illogical, and why the Gateway is ..illogical. But why am I illogical?
Dr Nick: You were eliminated in the Pilot of Gold Trek.
ML: Yes, true...but I am here now.
Dr Nick: I know. ...its illogical.
ML: I expect rational answers from you Dr Nick. Why is the Conundrum illogical?
Dr Nick: Admiral White is still here, and Mathew and Folly. Its .. ALL ..illogical.
ML: You are rambling. Give me answers.
Dr Nick: The Conundrum. The 300k Conundrum. We were supposed to have reached that before now, well before now.
ML: Ok, just use the Gateway and we can just flash to the end.
Dr Nick: That is not Gateway, thats Star Gate. Different show.
ML: Yes you are right Dr Nick. Continue.
Dr Nick: The di-lithium gold crystal was supposed to be on board. ML, I weighed the ship and the mass is correct. It should be here. But its not.
ML: If its not here..where is it then?
Dr Nick: I think, ML, we are carrying a lot of dead weight.
ML: how much di-lithium gold crystal do we have?
Dr Nick: 1059.
ML: Get Mathew to put it in the engines and lets get out of here.
Dr Nick: its illogical.
ML: cut the "illogicals" out. get to the point.
DR Nick: We are still knee deep in Chingons. We can't get out.
ML: I think you're losing it, letting you human emotion side take over. The Chingons may be small, waist deep may be more precise....quiet .. here is one now.
Chingon: You were eliminated!
ML / Dr Nick together: ..its illogical.
Chingon: we demand to know about the Gateway.
Dr Nick: Its a small problem. Nothing to worry about, under control. It will be gone soon.
Chingon: I demand to know about the crew.
ML: we sent them out with small probes to find some di-lithium gold crystals.
Chingon:..and..?
ML: Did I tell you about the 300k Conundrum?
Chingon: What has this got to do with the crew?
ML: Thats the Conundrum.
Chingon: Thats illogical.
Dr Nick: thats ill.. yes.
Chingon / ML together staring at Dr Nick: we are getting nowhere.
Dr Nick: Now THAT'S logical.
