Captain Picard: "Computer"

Computer beeps quietly

Picard: "Please convert this rather antique BASIC code to a more advanced language, say, PERL"

Yes sir...

    Computer: "Sir, did you perchance mean 'Perl'?

    Captain Picard: "Didn't I say that?"

    Computer: "Yes, you didn't."

    Captain Picard: "Very well, proceed at your discretion."

    Computer: "Am I allowed to choose which version of Perl to use?"

    Captain Picard: "Please do."

    Computer: "Working..."

    Computer: "Good evening, Dave. Would you like to play a game of chess?"

    Captain Picard: "Not that version, you stupid machine!"
