In Star Trek VI there is ONE LINE that I can't make out
on my video tape.
When some female character suggests that they get
some Romulan Ale to help the dinner with the klingons
go more smoothly, just as Kirk is about to step
off the bridge he says
``... thinking ...''
Probably something LIKE ``good thinking officer'' but
its NOT that. I can't quite make it out.
Please email to gas...@cs.umd.edu and/or include
the word `gasarch' in your response to the net
so I can search for it easily.

Reading replies below, I think the suggestion that Kirk's reply is "Officer thinking, Lieutenant" makes the most sense. I amended the IMDB synopsis to reflect that today, 10-11-13. Thanks for opening the original topic -- this thing has dogged me for a
long time!
ARGGGGGHHHH
OH FOR THE LOVE OF....
APPOSITE thinking. APPOSITE, as in APT, as in "appropriate or suitable in the circumstances."
If you speak the English langauge, it's really not that difficult. Star Trek has often been written by very literate people with good, adult vocabularies. And so this.
