Mine as well ... as a former engineer, I always liked the Scotty character.

SCOTT’S VOICE Shunt the deuterium from the main cryo pump to the auxiliary tank.

GEORDI’S VOICE The tank can’t handle that much pressure.

Scott pokes his head out for a moment.

SCOTT Where’d you get that idea?

Geordi looks out at him.

GEORDI It’s in the impulse engine specifications.

SCOTT Regulation forty-two slash fifteen... “Pressure Variances in IRC Tank Storage”?

GEORDI Right.

SCOTT Forget it. I wrote it.

Scott puts his head back in the console.

SCOTT A good engineer is always a wee bit conservative... at least on paper. Just by-pass the secondary cut-off valve and boost the flow... it’ll work.
