SCOTT: A starship engine the size of a walnut? That’s impossible. But I don’t suppose there’d be any harm in looking over diagrams on it. * * * (Mulhall/Thalassa is looking at her reflection in a metallic surface when Scott comes in with a small doo-dad.) MULHALL: Thank you. Have you prepared the negaton hydracoils for the drawing Sargon supplied? SCOTT: For all the good it’ll do you. It’s a fancy name, but how will something that looks like a drop of jelly make this thing work? You’ll need microgears and a pulley that does what a muscle does. MULHALL: That would be highly inefficient. SCOTT: I tell you, lady, this thing won’t work. SPOCK: It will have twice the strength and agility of your body, engineer, and will last a thousand years. That is, assuming you’ll stop wasting your time and allow us to complete it. (Scott leaves as ‘Spock’ laughs.)
