4th Novel Fiver: Pawns and Symbols

[NAHTMMM]

Czerny: Aernath, I think the contact we’re supposed to meet is in that restaurant.
Aernath: Why do you think that?
Czerny: Oh, a little mouse told me.

Romulan: “Pawns are the soul of chess.”
Aernath: "An isolated Pawn spreads gloom all over the chessboard."
Czerny: I know how that pawn feels…
Romulan: Fascinating.
Aernath: So you’re our contact.
Spock: Affirmative.
Czerny: Oooo! Don’t do that! You startled me!

Secret mission people: Dum de dum, sneaking through airport security…
Random Bodyguard: This one's a FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!
Czerny: Urk?
Bodyguard: Now, where did the people with her get to?
Security Guard: Probably escaped somewhere around "AAAA".

Aernath: You know, one thing puzzles me. There have been Klingons, quadrotriticale, and even Cyrano Jones, but so far there hasn’t even been a mention of—
Tribble: Bonzai—Eek! Eep! Eep! Eep! Eep!
Jones: Ah, I see you’ve met Juliette. Isn’t she cuuute? Don’t be scared, her clinging to your scalp ridges like that means she likes you.
Tribble: Eep! Eep! Eep!
Aernath: I’m so very unflattered.

McCoy: Spock figured out Klingons can't see red.
Kirk: I guess the designers of this ship got all the "Keep Out—Sensitive stuff in this room" signs right, then.
McCoy: And to think they only went with a red-and-black color scheme because it was in style at the time.

Kirk: …And so the cricket says to the eggplant, “I think I’d rather be in Belgium.” Hahahahah!
Kang: I don’t get it—
Czerny: Erp!
Kang: —But I think I got the meaning behind that.
Czerny: Urk!

Czerny: Divorce me.
Kang: No, not yet. Actually, might as well.

Aernath: Pweeease marry me.
Czerny: OK. Actually, you bet I will! Hey, whodathunkit—a Klingon warrior marrying an alien scientist.

Aernath: And so, to end this, I’ll quote an unknown chess player, who said, “Never miss a Czech—she might be a mate.”
Czerny: I am so going to get you for that one.

(The Enterprise warps off at Ludicrous Speed.)
