Follow up to the 'sir' crap

Post by Superman »

I am watching the first episode of 'Voyager' and Janeway told Ensign Kim that "despite Starfleet protocall, I don't like being called 'sir.'"

There you have it!

*the scene is Janeway's ready room. She's sipping coffee and drinking coffee. How lame. A chime*

JANEWAY: Enter.

*the Balrog smashes his way into the room*

BALROG: What the hell kind of ship are you running lady?

JANEWAY: Wha?

BALROG: Shut up and listen to me! You're not gonna get four parsecs with a crew like this! Just look around! Nobody's got any respect for anyone around here! You're gotta show them who the boss is!

JANEWAY: But-

BALROG: No buts! Show some steel in the spine! Are you some gut-wrenching slime maggot that just crawled out of a tree trunk or are you a Star-motherfucking-fleet Captain? Are you gonna get some milage out of those phaser banks or just let them go to waste?

JANEWAY: I prefer-

BALROG: And I prefer elves for a midafternoon snack, but we can't all get what we want, can we? Now, instead of whining about it, stand up and KICK SOME ASS!

JANEWAY: You're...absolutely right.

BALROG: Now, repeat after me! I'm a pretty hate machine!

JANEWAY: I'm...a...pretty...hate...machine...

BALROG: Louder!

JANEWAY: I'm a pretty hate machine!

BALROG: LOUDER!

JANEWAY: I'M A PRETTY HATE MACHINE!

BALROG: NOW GO SHOW THEM WHO'S BOSS!

*Janeway charges out the door and prceeds to conquer the Delta Quadrant...and the Gamma Quadrant while she's at it*

Kuja, you forgot the part about how she suddenly reverts to her "kindly mother" persona when she gets out of her ready room, so a 16 ton weight falls on her.

There you have it!
I think she disliked it because she was called "sir" so often when she was growing up. :twisted:

I don't think Janeway wanted to be called "sir" because it reminded her of the fact that she used to be a man.

Somewhat on topic: Saavik in WoK was called "Mr. Saavik" despite being a woman.

That's because that line was never rewritten when the Saavik part was re-cast as a woman (in several early drafts Saavik had been written as a man).
