:16:03
But, son, I figured
it was a bunch of hooey.
:16:07
Hooey?
:16:10
As in hogwash, malarkey, jive.
An intentional fabrication.
:16:14
There you go. You got it.
:16:18
Now, if you didn't contract for this,
who did?
:16:22
It must have been my husband,
Donald.
:16:26
If it was new and foolish,
he'd pop for it.
:16:29
Well, it's the first thing
he bought into that worked.
:16:33
I, for one, never had a doubt.
:16:35
My stock in this company must have
split a dozen times by now.
:16:40
Actually, the process of cryonics
was never more than a fad.
:16:44
It did not continue beyond
the mid-21 st century.
:16:49
I need to make a phone call.
:16:52
- A phone call?
- Yes, I have provided for myself.
:16:55
I have a substantial portfolio.
It's critical that I check on it.
:16:59
Let the bank know I'm alive and well.
:17:04
It's gonna be difficult
at the moment.
:17:07
Do you at least have a copy
of the Wall Street Journal?
:17:11
Let's take the Doctor's advice.
:17:14
Take this very slowly
until we've adjusted.
:17:17
Then we'll talk to the Captain.
:17:20
As you know, sir, there is little
available on the Romulans.
:17:23
- Anything would be helpful.
- They are creatures of extremes.
:17:29
One moment, violent beyond
description, the next, tender.
:17:33
They are related to the Vulcans,
but as each race developed,
:17:36
their differences grew wider.
:17:39
They're intensely curious.
:17:41
Their belief in their own superiority
is beyond arrogance.
:17:46
For some reason,
they have a fascination with humans.
:17:50
That fascination, more than
anything, has kept the peace.
:17:55
One other thing.
They will not initiate anything.
:17:59
They will wait for you
to commit yourself.
