If that's the talking point they're going with, then one might hear
it many times. I had a little concern with Spock using a fossilized
form that comes off as poor grammar, but I can hear Spock saying, "I

I figure my role in this is just to throw in things that occur to me,
in case they didn't to you, and perhaps tell you how I feel about
what you suggest. Qapla'!
