Quotes:
From "Star Trek: Voyager: Flashback (#3.2)" (1996)
[Captain Sulu tastes some of Tuvok's Vulcan tea]
Captain Hikaru Sulu: Outstanding! I may have to give you a promotion.
Tuvok: That was not my motivation, Captain. I am not attempting to curry favor with you in any way.
Captain Hikaru Sulu: [laughing] Mr Tuvok, if you're going to remain on my ship, you're gonna have to learn how to appreciate a joke. And don't tell me Vulcans don't have a sense of humor, because I know better.
Tuvok: I will... work on it, sir.
