Re: Star Trek reference in FF9

This episode is truly hilarious, it's one of my favorites.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is damn funny too (in the beginning, when Kirk, Spock and McCoy are at a camp). Just look at the dialogues:

Quote:
SPOCK
As you are so fond of pointing out,
Doctor, I am half human.

McCOY
Certainly doesn't show.

SPOCK
Thank you.

McCOY
This guy never changes. I insult him
and he takes it as a compliment.
(pouring himself
another shot)
You know, the two of you could drive
a man to drink.
Bones and Spock always have funny fights.

Quote:
KIRK
What are you doing, Spock?

SPOCK
I am preparing to toast a marsh melon.

Marsh melon? Kirk and McCoy hide their smiles as Spock
holds the marshmallow over the fire.

McCOY
Well, I'll be damned. A marsh melon.
Where did you learn that?

SPOCK
Before leaving the ship I consulted
the library computer to familiarize
myself with the customs of "camping
out." The evening meal is tradition-
ally followed by the toasting of
marsh melons.

Spock offers sticks and marshmallows to Kirk and McCoy
who play along, amused by Spock's dead serious approach
to frivolity.

McCOY
Tell me something, Spock. What do we
do after we toast the marsh... er,
melons?

SPOCK
We consume them.

McCOY
I know we consume them, I mean after
that.

SPOCK
I believe we are required to engage
in a ritual known as the sing-a-long.
Spock talking about MARSH MELONS is too damn funny

And the last one for today:

Quote:
KIRK AND McCOY
(overlapping)
"Row, row, row your boat gently down
the stream merrily, merrily, merrily,
merrily, life is but a dream..."

They signal Spock that it's his turn to jump in but
the Vulcan merely regards them quizzically. The
sing-a-long grinds to a halt.

KIRK
What's wrong, Spock? Why didn't you
join in?

SPOCK
I was trying to comprehend the mean-
ing of the words.

McCOY
(losing patience)
It's a song, you green-blooded son of
a Vulcan. You sing it. The words
aren't important. What's important is
that you have a good time singing it.

SPOCK
(sincere)
I am sorry, Doctor. We're we having a
good time?

McCOY
(giving up)
I liked him better before he died.
And later, on this night:

Quote:
SPOCK
(toubled)
Captain?

KIRK
We're on leave. Call me Jim.

SPOCK
Jim?

KIRK
Yes, Spock?

SPOCK
LIfe is not a dream.

KIRK
(with a sigh)
Go to sleep, Spock.
This is so damn funny that I'm going to watch this movie once again

PS: I hope people forgive this OT flood
