You only think I guessed wrong! That’s what’s so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is believing that Vulcans cannot lie, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Romulan when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha… (thunk) ---

> [@Ryan\_Liam](#): > > Will Riker to Tom Riker; > > 'Are you looking at me? Are _you_, looking at me? And now for a completely different movie: “He’s my clone and my son. Understand?..or is it too tough for you?” (I know I didn’t like that episode and yes, I know there are definitely some liberties being taken here.) And now: “Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip. That started from Utopia Planita aboard this very large ship. The mate was decent in command, the captain bald but sure. Five thousand passengers set sail that day for a three-parsec tour, a three parsec tour. The subspace started getting rough, the large ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the _Enterprise_ would be lost, the _Enterprise_ would be lost. The ship entered orbit around this uncharted M-class planet, with Riker, and Picard too, the Doctor, and her kid, the Android, and the rest, are here around Roddenberry’s Planet.” ---
