Capt. Kirk:
Alright, we're here at your request. Now would you mind telling us what you want without all the Olympian generalities?
Apollo:

Captain's log] When a man of Scotty's years falls in love, the loneliness of his life is suddenly revealed to him. His whole heart once throbbed only to the ship's engines.
