   Children on board the Narada? I never got that impression.   
   I didn't see the 'You got it'  as a joke in the sense of inappropriate light    
   hearted   
   humor. I think it was more sardonic in the vein of some of Dirty Harry's   
   remarks like 'Go ahead, make my day', or 'do you feel lucky, punk?'.
