“Spock—just—tell—me—in layman’s terms, for God’s sake!2
“Captain—in four minutes the Enterprise life support system will cease functioning and everyone on board will perish.”3
“I see—so what you’re telling me is that after five years of exploring deep space, fighting Romulans, trying to catch Tribbles, and making love to every known species of interplanetary woman, my career ends in four goddamn minutes!”4
“Three minutes and twelve seconds, to be exact, Captain. Perhaps you should be thinking of a plan of escape instead of babbling endlessly on meaningless sentimentality. That would be the logical thing to do in this instance.”5
“Yes, Spock—and perhaps you could shove your pointy little ears up your logical ass, too. I have two minutes to live and…”6
“One minute and fifty two seconds to be...”7
“Spock—never mind, please. Go mind meld with the garbage compactor or something.” 8
Captain Kirk grabbed Dr. McCoy by the shoulders.9
“Bones—how long will we have once the oxygen is gone?”10
“Dammit, Jim, I’m a doctor, not a … Oh, wait a minute, I am a doctor. Uhh—I’d say 10, maybe 12 seconds or so.”11
“Thanks, Bones. You’ve always been a pain in the ass. All right, listen up everyone. There’s something I want to say to someone here on the bridge—someone very special to me.”12
Captain Kirk handed the ship’s log to Lieutenant Uhura and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.13
“Even though I’ve never given you much credit, I’ve always been able to depend on you in a crisis. And, although you’re not Caucasian and inter-racial relationships are still taboo 1600 years after, “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” I want you to know I’ve always loved you. Now, c’mere you cute thing you.”14
Captain Kirk held his arms out and embraced Sulu, as the crew of the starship Enterprise, suffocated.

This was great.
Having grown up watching reel to reel films of this franchise on a bedsheet every weekend, I particularly enjoyed this spoof on a great franchise. I love the old Star Trek, just one thing, you never wanna be the guys in red on the away team, they always die.
Good write.

Fantabulous!
I love this! It's the perfect way to end in four minutes.
“I see—so what you’re telling me is that after five years of exploring deep space, fighting Romulans, trying to catch Tribbles, and making love to every known species of interplanetary woman, my career ends in four goddamn minutes!”4
Man I love that! You did an excellent job on this.
P.S Kevan said it was a Fan-Fic, what show? -
Hahaha, very good Fan-fic. It was really well written, although the ending kind sucks for the ship's crew. Oh well, the point is it's well written.
Best of luck in the contest.
xoxox.

Spelled Romulans and Sulu wrong
are the insults for Spock from McCoy? I mean they sound like something Bones would say but you don't have a tag on who's speaking so I wasn't sure if it was Kirk or Bones.
Ok the Trekkie in me will shut up now.
That was a cute take on the 4 minute warning, certainly not what I was expecting. And quite funny! Good job.

Live Long and Prosper
I believe the Bud Light affected my internal spell check.
I corrected the spelling.
Thanks for catching my mistake.
