Data's cat (Star Trek)

[pokerfan]

Watching the TNG marathon and this exchange from "Phantasms" always makes me laugh:


DATA: May I ask a personal favor?

WORF: Yes?

DATA: Will you take care of Spot for me?

WORF: Your... animal?

DATA: I am concerned that if I have another waking dream, I may injure him.

WORF: Of course.

Worf eyes the cat, not quite sure how to deal with it. Data gently picks up Spot and hands him to Worf. Worf handles the cat awkwardly. Data reaches out and pets Spot on the head gently.

DATA: Goodbye, Spot.

Worf heads for the door.

DATA: He will need to be fed once a day. He prefers feline supplement one-twenty-five.

WORF: I understand.

DATA: And he will require water. And you must also provide him with a sand box.

Worf nods.

DATA: And you must talk to him. Tell him he is a pretty cat, and a good cat...

WORF: (cutting him off) I will... feed him.

DATA: Perhaps that will be enough.
