Anyone want to get a drink?

[Private to Sulu + Shego ; separately]

Can I talk to you?

[There's a reason why Sulu and Spock are nowhere to be found right now. But he's still so new at this, so young to be the captain of a flagship, that he doesn't really have it mastered.]

Bring his killer to justice.

[Hunt him down and kill him.]

Legally, or proverbially?

[Would you kill him, is what she wants to know, she wants to know explicitly, so that she can judge. Because she would probably kill him.]

[She doesn't like relying on other people's justice much.]

[He wants to kill him. He wants to kill Khan like he killed Nero. Nero took his father and six billion Vulcans, he deserved to die. One life, as far as Kirk knows, doesn't equate that but it's Pike.]

Maybe I shouldn't answer that, given where we're at. Wouldn't want to end up on the other side.

You should guess how many people I've killed.

Did you kill all of them out of revenge?

[deshabille]

Very few of them, actually.

I think you're safe.

[As if getting into trouble here is really what he cares about.]

Aren't you? You haven't actually done anything.

[She's aware this might just dig the knife in and twist. She says it anyway.]

[Kirk smiles thinly and finishes off the last of his drink.]

Yet.

Everyone has the potential to, and most people want to. The difference is whether you do or not.

So don't.

I can't just do nothing.

[deshabille]

No. But you can stay here and do something here.

Like what?

[The face he's giving you is saying that he thinks you're an idiot, Mal.]

Make a deal to fix it.

[Like duh.]
