  Kirk : [over the noise]  We need to breakaway speed.

  Sulu : [literally shouting over the alarms]  Nine point five, Nine point six, Nine point seven, Nine point eight...

  [Kirk lets out a sigh of relief; steam hisses as the ceiling cracks; the window shows that they are getting really close to the sun] 

  Kirk : [shouts]  NOW MISTER SULU!
