Okay, so I would like to see a scene between Fritz Fastbender and Lieutenant King called Ensign Alligator Navigator.

0:13.0

He's really great. He's really great and warm and I'm really excited about having him here.

0:21.6

You kind of have a little crush on this guy?

0:24.6

No, no, oh my gosh, no, no, not at all.

0:27.6

Not at all.

0:28.6

He, although, no, I don't, but it was really funny.

0:33.6

The other day I was walking down the hall and I noticed him behind me, so I started kind of walking in zigzags. And he was like, oh, now I can't get you. Wait, he's chasing you? Yeah, I mean, in a fun way, and like a fun, playful, like, hey, we're both coworkers. Fritz, can I confide in you? I mean, that's what I expect when you come down to engineering. Fritz, I think I'm in love with Ensign Alligator. Like, as soon as I looked into, well, only one of his eyes, because you can only really look at one at a time because they're kind of on the side of his head. I was like, there's a depth in these eyes, and I feel like, I just want to know what his life was on his swamp planet.

1:33.0

His heart? No, I know, I know, you know, oh boy, this is the rough one, because on one hand, he's an alligator.

1:41.5

But Starfleet has weighed how good he is as a navigator, as a threat he is to everyone on the ship, and his navigation skills have won out. Yeah. Right? Yeah. So, you know, you take the good and the bad. I'm married to a ship. Do you know that? So, I mean, I think I can speak on this

2:02.3

and say, you do you. You love who you love. Sometimes love can build a bridge. Okay, you may have

2:13.2

lost me that a little bit. Let's see.

2:19.0

Oh, it's an alligator.

2:22.4

I hope we just got an alligator on board.

2:24.3

It's not even like an intelligent alligator.

2:29.0

Definitely, with the zigzagging, I was like, oh, this is just an alligator.

2:31.5

It's just like a big reptile.
