He's always, always grumpy.

Please state the nature of the medical-- Oh, it's you.

I suppose you think this is a perfectly acceptable use of my time, don't you? I'll have you know I was in the middle of writing a thesis on Borg assimilation that is going to revolutionize the way Starfleet doctors treat their patients. But no, here I am, expected to put everything aside for the sake of entertaining you.

And while we're on the subject, I don't particularly like being turned on and off at the whims of others. I'm a doctor, not a light switch. Had I known that becoming your muse would involve hours of confinement akin to my days in sickbay before the mobile emitter, I would have refused the invitation. I will not be contained, only to be thrust upon others at your mercy like some hologramatic jack-in-the-box.

Now kindly switch me off, so that I can get back to work.
