When Star Trek Met Time Warp
A parody by Jennifer "Queen of Random" Stoy
[Enter Rod Serling, in a whereless background]
Rod: Picture this- four Star Trek casts. One space station.
One very intriguing time warp. Picture the budget-
and the ratings-
[Rod disappears, to be replaced by the bridge of the Original
Enterprise. And its crew.]
Kirk: After destroying several evil Klingon cruisers,
discovering a dozen new worlds, and bedding two
dozen women, I'd say I've done my quota for today,
hey Spock?
Spock: Well, now that you have asked my opinion, Jim-
[Before he can get any further, the Time Warp hits the
Enterprise. All sorts of useless bells and whistles go off.]
Kirk: Scotty!
Scotty: Look, I canna change the laws of physics- but that
can! I'm doin' all I can! I'm doin' the can-can! I think
I can-
Chekov: Keptin, the wessel is in danger- not just from
Scotty's bad puns!
Sulu: You're wrong! This ship won't blow up-
[This is left in severe doubt as the ship apparently
disintegrates and we go to a commercial. When we return,
welcome to DS9, Ops. Kira, O'Brian, several random
ensigns are apparently doing something. Kira is still
pregnant.]
Kira: Being pregnant sucks.
O'Brian: Don't say sucks! You might give the baby a
complex.
Kira: (irritated) The baby's going to have a much bigger
problem than that.
O'Brian: Oh, God, what now!?
Kira: The fact that his father was strangled!
[With a growl, she begins to choke the life out of him. Dax
comes in, waving her hands.]
Dax: Wait! Stop! Wait!
[Kira reluctantly lets O'Brian go, and stands at ready to
begin again. O'Brian moves out of range of Kira's hands.]
O'Brian: (coughing) Thanks, Dax.
Dax: Oh, no biggie. Big news, though!
Kira: What? This better be good...
Dax: I found a big fat temporal anomaly! (smiles brightly)
Kira: (unimpressed) You prevented O'Brian's murder to
tell us something worthless like that!
Dax: But guess who's in the anomaly!
O'Brian: Hmmm- old Trek casts?
Dax: And even Voyager and the occasional recurring
character!
O'Brian: (full significance of that statement hitting him) Wait
a second- wait- is it coming?
Dax: Who? Who?
O'Brian: (in dread) Wesley!
[Worf, who has been nowhere nearby, comes running,
looking terrified.]
Worf: Where? Where? Now?
Kira: Where what?
Worf: The boy. Wesley! He's coming- I must prepare with
care to hide-
O'Brian: Worf- think. I have an idea. Sisko doesn't want Dr.
Crusher-
Worf: (clueless) Yes-
O'Brian: Captain Sisko uses the phrase "Fire the Phasers"
and not just on April Fool's Day.
Worf: Yes-
O'Brian: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Worf: My bat'leth could beat Xena's round killing thing?
[Dax slaps him upside his foolish head a few times.]
O'Brian: No! When Wesley comes aboard, we can take him
to a deserted corner, beat him to death, and no one
will care!
Worf: (catching the clue) YES! This will be a great day! I
get to kill Wesley!
[He repeats "I Get To Kill Wesley" singsong 3 or 4 times
and Dax pops him again.]
Dax: OK, Worf. Before that, though, why don't you and I
(sly) we can go to the holosuites. I'll be Xena, you be
yourself. You can see how the bat'leth defeats Xena's
round killing thing. And afterwards- you can show
me what a warrior does with a defeated warrior
princess.
[Worf, not so dense this time, takes the hint and follows Dax
to Quark's holosuites. O'Brian shudders. Commercial, and
with return, cut to TNG bridge. Wesley and LaForge are
standing at a station, arguing loudly.]
Wesley: It was a time warp!
LaForge: Temporal Anomaly!
Wesley: Time Warp!
LaForge: (angry) Look, you little SOB-
Wesley: Mommy!
Crusher: (from ready room) Mommy's a little- um- busy,
honey!
Riker: (who is in "The Chair" smirking, oblivious to the
burrito grease on his uniform-) Mommy's getting a
little busy, honey-
Wesley: But Geordi called me an SOB! What's an SOB?
Crusher: (exiting Ready Room a little mussed) He said
what?
Data: I would not interrupt this fascinating exchange, but
has anyone noticed that we are now in sight of Deep
Space Nine, Worf is not around, and the year is
2374?
Riker: 2374? Cool-
[Commercial. Cut to the Voyager bridge where Harry and
Janeway are having a little chat.]
Janeway: (severe) Now, Harry, what have I told you about
playing games with the computers?
Kim: I was just having a little fun- (sniffles)- you took
away my puppy-
Chakotay: It went all over the carpets- I mean, if you can't
take care of it-
Kim: But you let Neelix make it into a special lunch!
Janeway: (eyebrow raised) Chakotay- later. Harry, here's a
dollar, go play Pac-Man for awhile and DO NOT
screw with the computers.
Kim: Yes, ma'am! All right! Pac Man! (leaves)
Paris: How he got a girlfriend like Libby is beyond me.
Tuvok: (thoroughly annoyed at all of this) You know, just a
thought- this is a Starfleet vessel, not a family of
traveling clowns- (Before he can make his point, the
time warp rocks the ship) Time Warp!
Janeway: Okay, people, you know the drill-
[Everyone closes their eyes, clicks their heels, and chants
"There's No Place Like Home" fervently. Tuvok most of
all.]
Kim: (enters) Guess what, I got high score- hey, cool! Deep
Space Nine!
Chakotay: (opening eyes) Yes! I told you this "Wizard of
Oz" thing would work...
[Switch to the Original Enterprise bridge. Several red shirted
officers are dead, but everyone's working around them.]
Uhura: Oh, this ship won't blow up- sure. Jim, can't we
trade this piece of crap in for a nice flying RV- like
the one they had in Spaceballs?
Spock: That is an anachronism. In this time, Spaceballs does
not yet exist.
Kirk: Scotty, why haven't you patched the ship up yet?
Scotty: Cap'n I canna do anything until my Scottish takeout
comes. Mmm- haggis to go.
Rand: You're joking, right? Haggis?
Kirk: (noticing DS9) What is that ugly-ass thing on monitor,
Mr. Sulu?
Sulu: I don't know sir- it's hailing us-
Kirk: Ready the phasers-
Uhura: Hailing frequencies open-
[Sisko's rather bewildered face appears onscreen. You see,
he wasn't expecting a big crowd.]
Sisko: James T. Kirk?
Kirk: Gabriel Bell?
[Commercial Break. Switch to the Enterprise-D's
Conference Room. All are assembled- except Worf and
Wesley.]
Picard: What I want to know is- how did we get here?
Where's Worf? And where's the tea, dammit!
LaForge: Well, sir, we've apparently been entangled in a
temporal anomaly that brought us here by an
unknown method. Somehow, Worf lives here now-
don't ask me. And as for the tea- Wesley's getting it,
sir.
Troi: Worf, oh- wait a second! That bastard left me! Or
will, I guess. I'll have to talk to him about that!
Riker: (leering) They have some babes on DS9, man oh
man.
Troi: (rolling eyes) I sense- perversion. And a desire for-
shrimp? You're sicker than I thought, Wil-
[Before that can get anywhere, Wesley walks in, smug.]
Wesley: Here's the tea sir! Hey, Mom- they've got PacMan
here! I scanned the station with my brand new
scanner deal and found out.
Crusher: That's nice, dear.
Data: Captain, I have done reading on the anomaly. It is
unstable. It's also- excuse me- it is also very powerful
and cool and stuff.
Picard: Oh, dammit! (Everyone looks his way) I spilled my
tea.
[Switch to the DS9 infirmary. A wounded Dax and a very
unhappy Bashir are talking to the howls of a even more
wounded Worf.]
Bashir: Look, Jadzia, didn't you realize this, um-
Dax: Round killing thing-
Bashir: Whatever- it's for killing not for- well, what you two
did! I'm a doctor, not a sex therapist, and- well, stop
coming here! I mean, I lose you to Worf, and Leeta
to Rom, and you keep showing up disheveled and
wounded and-
Worf: (from other room): Get it out, it hurts!
Bashir: (rolling eyes) No doubt-a round killing thing would
be sharp, right?
[Odo enters, hiccuping and crazy.]
Odo: Doctor, the Tribbles are chasing me again! Make them
stop- make them stop!
Bashir: (rubbing temples) Calm down, man! Here's your
medicine- and here's mine.
[Picks up a bottle of whiskey and takes a long drink. Enter
Kira, pissed.]
Kira: I'm going to kill O'Brian with my bare hands. Stop
drinking, it's a nasty habit.
Bashir: Excuse me (yanks the RKT out of Worf, who yelps
in agony) I don't mean to be rude, but get out all of
you- NOW!
[As everyone backs out, scene switches to Voyager.]
Janeway: Hail DS9! Hail DS9!
Sisko: (coming on screen) Hey, hi- Voyager! How's it
going?
Janeway: We're so glad to see you!
Sisko: I'm flattered.
Tuvok: Mr. Sisko- just get us off this ship.
Sisko: Sure, I'll be glad to. O'Brian, beam the Voyager crew
into Quark's.
Kim: Do you guys have Pac Man?
Sisko: How would I know? Ask Quark.
[Commercial break. When we return, all the crews are
hanging around Quark's and the Promenade.]
Quark: (to Neelix) I understand you pretended you were the
Grand Proxy-
Neelix: Yes, indeedy!
Paris: (drunken) Did they tell you he was nearly burnt for it?
Hey, Quarky old pal do you got any- um- erotic
programs for them holosuites?
Quark: Are you kidding? Here you go!
[Paris leaves, delirious with drink and lust.]
Wesley: (to Kim) I'm the PacMan champion of the
Quadrant!
Kim: I'll take you any time- pansy!
Janeway: (not in earshot) Look, the boys are playing!
Crusher: That's so cute!
[Cut to LaForge and Riker, hanging on the bar indolently.]
Riker: Yup, yup yup I bet I can get all the chicks here.
LaForge: Can I have at least one? Huh, please? I made that
holodeck program for you and all-
Riker: Sure, sure- just watch me- hey, wait! That's Jim Kirk!
[Cut to an eerily similar situation with Kirk and Bones.]
Kirk: Quite a variety of women here.
Bones: Yeah, sure Jim.
Kirk: I think I'll go chat with a few.
Bones: Go ahead, Jim.
Kirk: Hey, what the- that's Wil Riker!
[Cut to a corner with the Holodoc, Data, Tuvok, Spock, and
Odo. No one is, or desires to speak with them.]
Odo: Humans.
Tuvok: They are illogical.
Holodoc: They're impolite.
Spock: They can be most inappropriate.
Data: I cannot understand their ways- for example why
would James T. Kirk and William T. Riker-
Tuvok: Men cut from the same cloth-
Spock: Both illogical playboys-
Odo: With superb military luck-
Holodoc: Gentlemen! They're kicking the stuffing out of
each other!
Spock: Fascinating.
Data: Intriguing.
Tuvok: If you're not interested, Doctor, you can leave.
Odo: Ouch, that looked like it hurt.
Holodoc: Why are they fighting?
Data: Over whom will get the "chicks" as each would say.
Holodoc: Oh. I can answer that. That would be the young
gentleman over there.
[Cut to over there, where Bashir is surrounded by Uhura,
Rand, Chapel, Troi, Crusher, Janeway, Torres, and Kes.
Kim and Wesley hover in the background.]
Wesley: Mom! I need more quarters! Mom!
[Torres kicks him in the stomach.]
Bashir: (glum) Well, for quite a while, I was in love with
Dax, but that went nowhere. She's with Worf now- and they
like hurting each other.
Troi: I feel your pain.
Kes: So do I.
Bashir: Then my girlfriend Leeta left me for Quark's brother
Rom. So, now, I'm degraded to a bottle of Jack
Daniels for companionship.
Uhura: That's awful.
Kim: Captain- Chakotay said he's gonna let Neelix offer me
to the Talaxian god of cooking- Oogabooga!
Janeway: Harry, Julian is whining right now. Sit in the
corner.
Kim: But captain!
Janeway: March, young man!
Crusher: So, you're available.
Bashir: Oh, yes.
[Cut to Sisko, Picard, and Chakotay, doing nothing in
particular.]
Sisko: Why is it all the women are swarming Julian?
Picard: Don't ask me, I have no idea.
Chakotay: He doesn't seem very macho or anything-
[O'Brian, in this interval, has taken Wesley to one side and is
beating him into a bloody pulp as Scotty joins the men.]
Scotty: Who's the little pansy? Is he gay?
Sisko: No. Just constantly rejected.
Picard: How so?
Sisko: His last girlfriend left him for a Ferengi, for one.
Chakotay: Ouch. That would make any man sensitive.
Sisko: No, he's a sensitive man. (Chekov joins them)
Chekov: Is he a young, strapping imbecile?
Sisko: No, he's disgustingly bright and a medical genius.
(Bones joins them)
Bones: Does he have a girlfriend?
Sisko: No, he's available. (Sulu joins them)
Picard: So to recap-
Chakotay: He's a considerate-
Scotty: Straight-
Chekov: Intelligent-
Bones: And available young man.
Picard: I can't figure out his secret.
[Kirk and Riker, out of breath, notice the women swarm.]
Riker: Hey, that snotty British bastard stole our women!
Kirk: Hey! Shrimp! A dollar a pound! (Both run)
Forrest Gump: Mama always said life is like a box of
chocolates- you can make a lot of money selling to
fat guys.
Riker: Oooh- fried.
Kirk: Oooh- fried.
[The outcasts, deprived of the duel, turn their attention to
O'Brian, who is manfully drinking beer while Wesley and
Kim, tied to a pole, howl.]
Wesley: Mom! Mom! MOMMY!
Kim: I have to go to the bathroom, Mr. O'Brian! Mr.
O'Brian!
O'Brian: Shut up or I'll kick your teeth in!
Kim: But I have to go to the bathroom!
O'Brian: I said, shut it!
[The other male group, bored, turns to the scene.]
Chakotay: All right! Harry, you can't go to the bathroom
EVER again!
Kim: Captain Janeway!!!
Chakotay: Oogabooga! (Harry shuts up)
Scotty: Who's Oogabooga?
Chakotay: Nobody. I told him it was the Talaxian god of
cooking and I was going to let Neelix sacrifice him to
it.
Picard: Interesting-
Sisko: Hmm, I think we've all had too much liquor.
Sulu: Yes, indeed!
Chekov: So vhat do ve do?
Bones: Brawl!
Picard: No- drinking songs!
Chakotay: How about- Men Men Men?!
All Men: YEAH!
[Begin a rousing rendition of Men Men Men]
Kim: Mr. O'Brian- I wanna sing Men Men Men!
O'Brian: Don't piss off a drunken Irishman!
Wesley: Men men men men-
[The outcasts watch the scene intently]
Odo: Why can't we sing with them?
Tuvok: Because we're not human.
Data: Besides, they are stupid.
[Women and Bashir are oblivious- for different reasons]
Bashir: Oh, God, I'm so depressed. (Enter Jadzia, bruised
and grinning) Oh, now what?
Dax: It was that damn round killing thing-
Troi: Wait- you bitch! You stole Worf!
Rand: What's the "round killing thing?"
Torres: Sounds- sexy.
Bashir: Yeah, sure. Anyone want to help me watch
unrequited love die, as I yank a deadly weapon out
of a Klingon?
Janeway: Sure!
Crusher: Not a problem!
Rand: With pleasure.
Uhura: Fine with me.
Torres: Can't wait to see the round killing thing!
Kes: I can help yank it out!
Chapel: So can I.
Troi: Wait- you Trill slut! You stole my man. (rushes Dax)
Bashir: Follow me- I guess.
[Men notice the brutal girl fight. Dax is expertly kicking
Troi's butt.]
Kim: Girl fight!
Chakotay: All right!
Tuvok: Most interesting.
Kirk: (looking up from trough o' shrimp) Shrimp.
Riker: (ditto) Oh, baby.
Sisko: (to Dax and Troi) Hey, knock it off! (Fight stops)
What's wrong?
Troi: She stole my boyfriend.
Picard: Counselor, this is not Melrose Place. Behave
accordingly.
[Scream. Switch to holosuite w/Women/Bashir/Worf]
Crusher: That was- interesting.
Rand: Ouch.
Torres: Mmm, what do you call this- not just a round killing
thing-
Worf: It is a shakrum.
Bashir: Stop playing with it!
Kes: Why does he- well, what were they doing?
Torres: Klingon rituals.
Janeway: How many times have you been called to- um-
Bashir: Too many, Captain. Far too many.
Janeway: Kathryn, please.
Crusher: I never had this problem with Worf.
Bashir: Good for you, ma'am.
Crusher: You're such a nice young man- polite, intelligent-
not to mention good looking.
Torres: Yes.
[Bashir, sensing the mob intent, begins to back away]
Janeway: What's wrong?
Bashir: Ummmm-
[Enter Kira- well, Nana Visitor. She's not pregnant, and is
dressed normally]
Crusher: Major Kira?
Bashir: (suddenly relieved) Hi, Nana, love. Where's the
baby?
Kira: Oh, sleeping. I have someone watching him for a
minute.
Kes: Wha? Who's Nana? What baby?
Bashir: Oh, this is my lover, Nana Visitor, and it's our baby.
In real life.
Rand: Aww, man! Reality break!
Kira: Anyway, hon, you need to get back downstairs. The
men are about to sacrifice Harry, Wesley, and Pac
Man to the Talaxian Cooking God. Bye, now. (Exit)
Uhura: Oh, God- not Pac Man!
Janeway: Harry!
Crusher: Wesley!
[The mass of them run downstairs to the bar where the Men
Men Men thing has gone way too far]
Chakotay: Harry Kim, you utter little pest, I call upon the
God Oogabooga!
Kim: Let me go!
Paris: Yeah, right.
O'Brian: Wesley Crusher, you total little bastard! I intend to
kill you because I'm feeling MANLY!
All: MEN!
Kirk: Pass the fried chicken, Wil.
Riker: All right, Jim.
Chakotay: Any last words?
Kim: Captain Janeway's going to get you!
O'Brian: I'll see you in Hell, Wesley.
[The women swoop down]
Janeway: Chakotay!!
O'Brian: Dammit! I should have killed you when I had the
chance!
Kim: Captain! Mr. O'Brian tied me to a pole, and he
wouldn't let me go to the bathroom, and Chakotay
says I can't go anymore, and Captain- I REALLY
HAVE TO GO!
Janeway: Go ahead, Harry. (Harry runs away)
Crusher: Jean Luc! Chief O'Brian!
O'Brian: Little bastard needed it.
Wesley: Owww- he broke PacMan!
Quark: Hey! That's an expensive game!
Neelix: (emerging with a weird thing) Gentlemen, I present
Oogabooga!
Sisko: Not now, Neelix.
Riker: Mmm-
Kirk: Hey, we're out of shrimp!
Crusher: Oh, my poor baby. Mr. O'Brian, how could you do
this?
O'Brian: Because I wanted to.
Picard: Mr. O'Brian- you're confined to the brig for two
days.
Sisko: Hey, Frenchie, he's my officer- O'Brian, apologize to
Wesley- or you spend a week in the brig listening to
off-key Klingon opera.
Picard: Ooh, psychological torture- good call.
[O'Brian looks at Wesley, then at Sisko, then at Wesley, then
at Sisko]
O'Brian: Wait a second! How come I'm your patsy? It was
Chakotay's idea to sacrifice them to Oogabooga!
What is Oogabooga anyway?
Neelix: The Talaxian God of Cooking- it was Chakotay's
concept.
Janeway: Damn, Chakotay, you were an instigator, weren't
you?
Torres: Really- poor Harry. Where is he?
Paris: He had to go.
Wesley: Hey, I'm still tied up! And Mr. O'Brian hasn't
apologized!
Data: That is not the issue. This is about who started this
mess.
Wesley: Chief O'Brian kicked me in the head!
Odo: Just be quiet- justice is being served.
Neelix: Can I have a piece?
Sisko: O'Brian-
O'Brian: (sullenly) I'm sorry, Wesley.
Worf: (limping into view) You apologized?
O'Brian: The baby might be damaged with his father in jail.
Worf: You have no honor. You should have dispatched the
boy with a quick blow and faced the consequences.
Bashir: You mean like, keep using the round killing thing-
Dax: Shakrum-
Bashir: And I will leave it in you, Worf?
Worf: Yes, something like that. (Enter Geordi)
LaForge: Heyla, Captains! Seeing as my last line was on
page five or something- I went and screwed with the
time warp.
Holodoc: And guess what?
Tuvok: It's Q.
Spock: Most Star Trekkian.
Q: Hidillyho! Friendly reset button here.
Picard: Q!
Sisko: Go away.
Janeway; Keep your eyes off of me.
Kirk: Grey Poupon?
Riker: But of course.
Q: But the time warp has gone too far!
Scotty: Capn!
Kirk: Beat it.
Q: I need to make this philosophy- um- BBC- what?
Bones: Who is this guy?
Q: I'm the almighty Q.
Wesley: Can you fix Pac Man?
Q: Pac Man?
Data: It is a primitive computer, used for entertainment.
Wesley: Please fix it. Please- please-
Q: Oh, God! Not even my omniscience and omnipotence
can withstand Wesley!
Data: Then, by definition, you are neither.
Janeway: Theoretically, then-
Dax: We could beat him.
Q: Sure, right.
[Rom, by accident, throws a bucket of water on him. Q
begins to melt.]
Uhura: How formulaic.
Q: Ahh! I'm melting! Melting- oh what a world, what a
world!
Picard: Yes!
Quark: Rom, you idiot- you got water on Pac Man!
Rom: Sorry, brother.
Sisko: This has gone a bit too far.
Bashir: I could have told you that three or four pages ago.
Wesley: Pac Man?
Crusher: Sorry, Wes.
LaForge: Aw, man. The temporal anomaly disappeared.
Picard: Commander Riker!
Kirk: Yes- oh damn!
Riker: I'm Riker, you're Kirk.
Kirk: My apologies, Riker.
O'Brian: So now what?
Worf: We must turn to the Wheel of Plots.
Spock: What's that?
Worf: Whenever our lives hit a wall, we spin the Wheel of
Plots- it will show us the way.
Spock: Fascinating.
[Wheel out Wheel Of Plots, which contains: 1- Warp Core
Mania! 2- Klingon Attack 3- It Was All Just a Dream 4-
Supernatural Entity of the Week 5- Riker Solves The
Problem 6- Dominion Attack]
Data: Most intriguing.
Dax: I get to spin it!
[She spins, and it goes to 5]
Troi: Good spin, dumbass.
Riker: Trust me, people, I can solve this problem- right after
I finish dinner!
[As widespread panic ensues, screen fades to
black w/ a "To Be Continued"]
