Summary: Kirk and Spock have a conversation on 'coming out.'

Told them what?
About us.
Us?
Yes, us!!
Oh. Us.
Yes! Well, have you told them?
Umm--no.
Spock!! You promised! You said this
time you would.
Don't you think they have realised it by now? After all, I am still unmarried and the years have passed. I am still alive.
They must have realised I found an answer to the problem.
Yes--but what kind of answer? For all
they know you could just lay a whore.
Vulcans do not 'lay' whores.
Indeed.
Jim!
Please tell them.
All right. I'll tell them.
Excuse me?
Spock! Did you tell your parents
about us?
Oh. Yes--yes I did--tell them.
And?
And?
What did they say?
They were not surprised. They seem
to have known for quite a while in fact.
So everything's okay.
I would assume so, t'hy'la.
And you have been baiting me.
I?
You!
Vulcans do not bait.
Indeed?
Indeed.
