Spock is no longer on the ship.

Because...?

[She's failing to see what this is meant to accomplish.]

I don't know, in case you wanted to ask him a question about his ears.

What? Were they Dumbo-size?

They were pointy. Like an elf.

Birth defect?

Vulcan.

So kind of.

It sounds pretty embarrassing.

It really is.

I'm Jim Kirk, by the way.

Elena Gilbert. Nice to meet you.

Where are you from, Elena?

You've probably never heard of it before. It's pretty much right next to the ass-end of nowhere.

Mystic Falls, Virginia.

I've heard of Virginia at least?

[She smiles.]

Well, it's a start.

What about you? Any chance I've heard of where you're from?

Yeah, its pretty awful.

Iowa.

Hey, at least you've got an obnoxious musical based in Iowa?

... we do?

[Twenty first century musicals aren't really Kirk's forte]

The Music Man?

Never seen it.

Didn't miss much. Typical smooth talker falls in love and turns over a new leaf kind of plot.

And sings about it, apparently.

I'm surprised Disney didn't get its grubby hands on it.
