CHRISTOF: A dead one at that.
INTERVIEWER: Gotta' say, writing Kirk back in--master stroke.

Flashback: Truman at the Beach

KIRK: Nothing. It's dangerous, that's all. You've gotta' know your limitations, Truman.
Lunar Room
INTERVIEWER: Let's remind viewers of exactly why dad was written out in the first place.

CHRISTOF: Finally, I came up with the concept of Kirk's drowning.

INTERVIEWER: But, how do you intend to explain his 22 year absence?
