::Don & Eli (bartender) are sat across the way from each other at a table::

Key: “You might be the best bartender in the quadrant Eli, but you certainly ain’t the best at poker.”

Eli: “Don, stop your showboating.” ::Looks over to the bar:: “Besides, I’ve got to get back to work.”

Key: “Hey, you can’t leave in the middle of the game.”

Eli: ::Getting up:: “The game ended 10 minutes ago, Don. You’ve been holding slices of pizza in your hands like cards ever since.”

Key: ::Looks down at the slices of pepperoni pizza in his hands:: “Ah, that explains why I’ve been drooling.”

Eli: “Catch you later, Don.” ::Returns to the bar area::

Sprague: =/\= Commander Key, please meet me in my ready room as soon as you can… ::pause:: … and bring the pizza.”

Key: “… how did you…?”

Sprague: =/\= Sprague out! =/\=
