[Walking through the Zocalo]
Ivanova: "This couldn't possibly be any worse. 'Do whatever you have to,' he tells me. But nobody told me this involved having sex with an alien."
Dr. Franklin: "Well, he didn't know. None of us did. We barely met this species before now. Who knew that they treat sex the way we treat handshakes. Maybe you should talk to the Captain."
Ivanova: "I can't. I linked him a note just before the meeting telling him that everything was taken care of. I can't go back now and tell him that it's all falling apart."
Dr. Franklin: "Well, you could put a bag over his head and do it for Babylon 5. [slight laugh]... Maybe not."
[Ivanova's quarters]
Ivanova: "I thought it over, and I'm ready now. I set as much time as required to have sex as it's done by your species."
[Correlilmurzon begins to undress]
Ivanova: "Since, if we were to do it Human-style, it would probably be too much for you."
Correlilmurzon: "Are you implying that Lumati sex is inferior?"
Ivanova [slight mockery]: "Oh no, no. Not at all. Well, not as such. I mean, it wouldn't be fair to ask you to do it _our_ way on such short notice -- the pressure to perform."
Correlilmurzon [insulted]: "Enough. To conclude our deal we will have sex Human-style."
[Ivanova sighs in anticipation]
Ivanova: "You sure? You _do_ know what this entails."
Correlilmurzon: "Of course. Ignorance is an inferior trait."
Ivanova: "That's what I thought. You ready?"
Correlilmurzon [whispering]: "Yes."
Ivanova: "Good."
Ivanova [rhythmical speech and dancing around him]: "Ohh!... Boom-shaba-laba-laba, Boom-shaba-laba-laba, hey there, hey there, three bags full! You come her often? Yes, I do. Dinner-shaba-laba-laba, Drinks-shaba-laba-laba, kiss-kiss-kiss-kiss-kiss-kiss! Grow up!! [calmer voice] How do you like it so far?"
Correlilmurzon: "Uhh..."
Ivanova [continuing with rhythmical speech and dance]: "I slept with you the other night. You didn't call, you didn't write! I think you did it just for spite! Oh... Yes! Oh yes! Oh! Yes! Oh! Yes! Tell me about your portfolio. Oh yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Lie to me about your family. Oh, yes! Oh yes! Oh, yes! Yes! Yes! Yeeeeeeeeeeeees!!"
Ivanova [recovering, and a bit out of breath]: "Oh... God, you're good."
Correlilmurzon [confused]: "What do I do now?"
Ivanova: "Old style -- you roll over and go to bed. New style -- you go out for pizza and I never see you again."
Correlilmurzon [still confused]: "Perhaps [pause] I'll call you before I go."
Ivanova [as Correlilmurzon leaves her quarters]: "Whew!"
