I especially want to see what happens when Trillion sits on Wesley’s lap and starts to mess with his control panel.

Better yet, I can see Data asking Marvin what its like to have human emotions and Marvin saying "O god its just more dreadful then you can possibly imagine.” Data will insist, so Marvin will say “You really want to know” Data will say “Oh yes” then Marvin will say “Here, pull my finger”
