I Want for Nothing




“I do not desire The Captaincy. 

I am much more content with my scientific duties. 

And, I am frankly content to be a lesser target...

But if it should befall me, my operatives would avenge my death – and some of them are Vulcans.”


— SPOCK w.  Beard.










Int. Sleeping quarters.

KRYTEN, RIMMER, 
LISTER, HOLLY and CAT 
are in various positions -- 
sitting, lying down, standing, on screen.

RIMMER
Well, I should'a' guessed.  
It was all a mighty bit too strange. 
I mean, actually meeting someone who didn't want to vomit all over me in complete loathing and disgust.

KRYTEN
I shouldn't take it so personally, sir; it's the same for all of us.  
We've all been made to feel foolish, 
used, chewed up and spat out.

LISTER:
Look, she didn't mean us any harm.  She can't control how WE see her.  
She's -- A Mirror for Our Obsessions.

KRYTEN
Holly, what did you see?

HOLLY
I didn't see anything.  
I don't think I've got any Desires —
Either that, or me screen was foggy.
