Could he trust

Commander Worf or not?

He asked himself.

He feared the worst.

Spock looks up at the

star-filled sky,

surveys the barren contours

of this alien wasteland...

'Escape is imperative,'

he whispers."

Hey, Wendy.

Hi, Nemo.

- How's your script coming?

- It's going excellent.

I just wrote a sub-story

where Spock travels

to Deep Space Nine

to recruit Commander Worf

for battle.

That sounds awesome.

Uh...

By the way, I...

(clears throat)

I made you something.

It's got some really

dope tracks on there.

I really hope you enjoy it.

I'm gonna clean the mixer.

(Nemo clears throat)

Oh, say can you see

So, Richard, we've arranged

an interview for you

at the grocery store

at the end of the street.

Does that interest you?

- Yeah?

- (cell phone ringing)

Excuse me.

Hello?

- Man:
Is this Scotlyn Kyle?

- Yeah.

Ms. Kyle, this is

Reginald Mayweather

from Balboa High.

Did you get out of bed today?

At all?

(Scottie sighs)

Scottie:
Okay.

What's going on with you, Sam?

You ever feel depressed?

Angry?

Mom, stop trying to diagnose me.

Well, why aren't you in school?

We had a deal.

You go to school, you do well.

That's all I ask.

And you have a math test

next week which,

by the way,

I just found out about today.

So, young man,

you are gonna study right here.

Boy:
Even my grandmother could

answer your stupid questions.

Dude, you might as well

be asking her

what the name of the ship is,

how bout

you find a hard question?

Like in the back of the book.

I got one.

Okay.

In the original series episode,

"Court Martial"...

what award was given

to Mr. Spock?

The Vulcan Scientific

Legion of Honor.

Oh, snap! Pay up!

She's got to be cheating!

She's got a cheat sheet.

How can she cheat, dog?

You're picking the questions!

Maybe she's got the answers

written on her papers!

Look, look.

Double or nothing, then.

Okay.

Go deep, go deep.

Go deep.

What was Dr. Leonard McCoy's

daughter's name?

(whispering)

Joanna.

- What's that?

- What'd you say?

Joanna.

- No way!

- That's impossible!

She got you!

Pay up, b*tches!

Suck it!

- Have your dirty money.

- What the Spock.

Boy 1:
I don't know, dude,

suck it.

Boy 2:
How did she know...?

Boy 1:
Should've asked her what

Kirk's grandma's name is.

Boy 2:

What is Kirk's grandma's name?

Wendy:
"Peering into

the murky abyss...

Spock saw something

he had never seen before.

A window...

A portal to that other world...

Not a vision,

not a light...

but a feeling...

A feeling

he didn't understand."

(whispering)

...didn't understand.

Wonderment.

Scottie, will you read

my movie script for me, please?

Sure.

Will you read it

as soon as possible, please?
