	Story Behind the Song In the early 1990s, businessmen from the West were extremely anxious to set up joint ventures with China - a sort of "new frontier." Beijing, for its part, was equally anxious to gain prestige by staging the Olympic Games in 2000. China's bid failed, some say because of the lingering international outrage following the Beijing Massacre in June 1989. At the time, many felt the brutal crackdown made the Chinese authorities seem alien, almost as if they had come from another planet. Lyrics (laughter) Announcer: Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It's five-year mission: to seek out new joint ventures in China. To boldly go where no sensible businessman has gone before. (music) Kirk: Star date seven-point-seven, one nine nine seven. The enterprise has been invited to represent the Federation at the opening of a new Klingon landing base on cloud nine in the third world of the Sino Galaxy. It is a routine mission ... Bones: For God's sake Jim, you've got to get down to sick bay straight away. There's a rogue Legco broken loose. Scottie: I cannay hold her Captain. She's near to breekin' point. The yen is at 12,000 dollars. Kirk : Thank you McLeod (Scottie). Everything's normal then. Spock: Captain. We are approaching Chek Lap Kok. I have the Klingon chief waiting on screen. Will you speak to him Captain? Kirk: One moment Ford (Spock)! Lieutenant Aurora. Would you mind just ... moving ... a little to the left? (He is looking up her skirt) I don't remember giving you permission to raise your hemline a quadra-centair? Aurora: It's not the only thing that's raised a quadra-centair! Kirk: Spock. Have you got Klingon landing permission? Spock: No captain. But I do have a crate of gold Rolexes and 200,000 US dollars. Kirk: That'll do. Put the Klingon on. Klingon: (speaks fake Mandarin) Way she der shim yeh etc. etc. Kirk: What's he saying Spock? Spock: He says "are we from the Olympic Committee?" Kirk: Beam him back into outer space Spock, back where he came from!
