Enterprise2001

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
Suppose you could look into some... future book, find out the name of the woman you're gonna marry. Would you wanna know it?

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
Absolutely. Think of all the awkward first dates I could avoid.

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
Fine. So, one day you meet Jane Doe. You go out a few times, and you pop the question. She says 'I do', and the two of you live happily ever after.

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
Sounds perfect.

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
Now - did you marry her for love... or because some book told you to?

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
Well, if we're happily ever after, what difference does it make?
