Mandy woke with a start "The Green Man!" she yelped as she crawled off the pillows. Obviously Counsellor A'Troi's advice was as golden as her liquers. She shook out her mangled sari from a wadded nest on the floor, and gave the end to a philodendron to hold while she spun it around herself.
"Thanks Phil,(hic) you are a perinneal sweetheart." she said, tucking the stray end of the scarf into her waistband. She then made a mug of strong black Venusian tea, downed it, and gave a slight shiver as the tea hit her bloodstream. Afterwards, she began to fight her way out of her squeaky door.
"Damned warped (hic) bulkhead connector!" She squrmed out of the slight opening in the doorway, then gave the door a swift mule kick and it slammed shut.

She peeked through the door, and found the Green Man just where she had left him. Except for now he was rifling through some pages in a book on the table, and singing to himself.
'Parsely, Sage, Rosemary and TIME..
Time, time, see what's become of me
As I looked around for my possibilities
I was so hard to PLEASE
Please, please...Love me DO
You know the way to San Jose?
WHOA, whoa, WHOA, whoa, wuh-wuh-wuh-WHOA

So he WAS a song stealer? Then he had a bargaining chip with the pirates!
(hic) and the silence was broken
The Green Man spun towards the open door.
Mandy ran.
