Had to laugh at this scene from Distant Origin.

Quote:
PARIS: Well?
TORRES: Well, go ahead and gloat.
PARIS: The anodyne relays. Who would have guessed?
TORRES: Just a shot in the dark.
PARIS: And it hit the bulls-eye. Tonight, you pay up. Holodeck two, Klingon martial arts programme, no getting out of it this time.
VEER: Courting behaviour?
GEGEN: Exactly. Note how the female through the feigned antagonism encourages the male in his attempt to mate.
VEER: There's no sign of vasodilatation in their skin.
GEGEN: Obviously they never evolved that ability, which would explain their reliance on crude verbal interplay.
PARIS: I'll see you tonight. BYOB.
TORRES: What?
PARIS: Bring your own bat'leth.
