DEAREST SCHOLAR

“You are an idiot, and I find myself irritated by you at this moment.”

                “ It’s the SURGE inside — in the water, behind the eyes, in the LOINS.                        That’s what Basher Moran’s about.                                           All the rest is fancy TRIMMING. “ 

"Are you suggesting that sometimes I don’t look good, Morton?”

That is very peculiar, is it not?

You can repeat yourself as much as you want, I am still not doing it.

Perhaps. I don’t know - I think I would make a good Vulcan, don’t you?

Including the ears, most likely yes.

Maybe I’m not human. You’d never know if I wasn’t.

Right. So I've potentially been befriending an alien all this time?
