Bromford and Okapi - Part 3

 

»T-O-P-K-A-P-I.«

»No, no, no, animal. It is not Ocampa, it is not Kai Opaka and it is not Topkapi - whatever that is supposed to mean.«

»I have done my research, Bromford-dude. The Ocampa are a humanoid species on Star Trek who live on the planet Ocampa in the Delta Quadrant - the aliens with the ears, you know? Kai Opaka was the female spiritual leader of Bajor in the latter days of the Cardassian Occupation and the early days of Bajor's independence from Cardassian rule - Bajorans the aliens with the noses, do you remember? And Kai Opaka, the woman with a hat shaped like the opera house of Syndey, Australia.«

»Star Trek? The American science fiction media franchise? What brought you there, animal? And what kind of species are the Topkapi?«

»Ignorant! Topkapi is a 1964 American Technicolor heist film produced by Filmways Pictures and distributed by United Artists, of course. And Topkapi is the name of a palace, a large museum and library in the east of the Fatih district of Istanbul in Turkey.«

»O-K-A-P-I!«

»No need to shout, human. No need to shout.«
