"Tell her--I feel fine." Spock left his father and rejoined Kirk.

"I'll have to pitch that shirt," Kirk quipped as they exited HQ.

"Shirt?"

"That Uhura bought me when you were promoted--'My husband's the CAPTAIN but I am the ADMIRAL'. I--I wore it when we left Earth to retrieve you from Genesis. It was there the whole time, under my shirt, reminding me of you," he added in a quiet, emotional voice.

"After being worn as your undershirt for three months in the Vulcan desert, I believe there are reasons other than your demotion for its retirement."
