I

Have you told them?

Told them what?

About us.

Us?

Yes, us!!

Oh. Us.

Yes! Well, have you told them?

Umm--no.

Spock!! You promised! You said this time you would.

Don't you think they have realised it by now? After all, I am still unmarried and the years have passed. I am still alive. They must have realised I found an answer to the problem.

Yes--but what kind of answer? For all they know you could just lay a whore.

Vulcans do not 'lay' whores.

Indeed.

Jim!

Please tell them.

All right. I'll tell them.

II

So did you tell them?

Excuse me?

Spock! Did you tell your parents about us?

Oh. Yes--yes I did--tell them.

And?

And?

What did they say?

They were not surprised. They seem to have known for quite a while in fact.

So everything's okay.

I would assume so, t'hy'la.

And you have been baiting me.

I?

You!

Vulcans do not bait.

Indeed?

Indeed.
