  Cmdr. Pete Mathews : Will I be seeing you, Leslie?

  Prof. Lesleyl Joyce : Do you mean when I get back from Cairo?

  Prof. Lesleyl Joyce : Well, there is that possibility; but, uh, A - there isn't time for that to happen to me; B - I can be reached at the school; and C - how would you like to collaborate with me on a book, "How To Catch A Sea Beast"?

  Prof. Lesleyl Joyce : Nor have I.

• Cmdr. Pete Mathews : Thought we had the thing figured out. What happened?

  Prof. Lesleyl Joyce : I can't tell you. Instead of being driven off, it attacked.

  Cmdr. Pete Mathews : Maybe it wants to *fight*.
