Rant – Spock Accent
Barry: Why not blast the thing?
Rod: Barry, your urges to use violence on objects perplexes me.
Barry: My urge for protecting myself you mean.
Rod: Deflectors at maximum, the meteor will will be redirected now.
Barry: WILL YOU STOP WITH THE ACCENT!!!
Rod: Fine, but it is illogical for you to shout at me and will not result in improved performance on my part in our situation.
Barry: *Sigh* Okay, what do we need to do about the compressor?
Rod: I will go down stairs, remove the faulty unit and replace it with one of our surplus ones.
Barry: Remember to wear your radiation suit. Remember what happened last time?
Rod: Acknowledged. Peace and Long Life, Barry!
Barry: Get it fixed and get back up here, Rod!
<Rod goes to the lower level of the ship.>
Barry: Can anything else go wrong?
<Buzzer sounds and the Supreme Overlord appears on the comm screen.>
Barry: I had to ask!
Supreme Overlord: Had to ask what?
Barry: Nothing, your worshipfulness. I was muttering about Rod….it’s an Earth habit.
Supreme Overlord: Make sure you do NOT bring that habit back with you.
Barry: Yes, your greatness.
Supreme Overload: And where is the other idiot?
Barry: The other idiot…ah…Rod is down stairs fixing the reactor.
Supreme Overlord: If he forgets his radiation suit again, when he recovers he’ll have more than that to recover from when I get through with him!
Barry: Yes, your greatness.
<The screen becomes a split screen and Rod appears on half of it.>
Rod: Supreme Overlord, I find your remarks about myself extremely disturbing.
Supreme Overlord: You do, eh? Anything else bothering you?
Rod: Yes, your constant negative remarks about mine and Barry’s mental capabilities are very illogical.
Supreme Overlord: Barry, how much Star Trek this time?
Barry: An all day marathon.
Supreme Overlord: I suspected as much. ROD! What are you holding?
Rod: The defective compressor from our reactor.
Supreme Overlord: And what in the name of the 13 planets are you NOT wearing?
<Rod looks down and an expression of horror comes over his face>
Rod: I have been, and always shall be…
<Rod falls over, unconscious.>
Supreme Overlord: Barry, go take care of that idiot and check in when he’s recovered.
<A little while later, the boys are back in their house on Earth. Rod is sitting on Barry’s lap>
Rod: <In a very childish voice.> Please read me another story, Daddy!
