I'm laughing at the song's presumed superior intellect.

Starfleet HQ at night. In a cell papered with...paper, Dain'ta, a.k.a. Dr. Arik Soong, sneers and writes. He sucks on his pen for a few moments and then he writes and sneers. Dain'ta tries to work the Hannibal Lector as someone announces that he has a visitor. "I'm bu-sy," he singsongs menacingly. Gotta love a guy who thinks he can still be menacing when he's shackled in a cell. The disembodied guard voice orders Dain'ta to stand up. Dain'ta rolls his eyes, all put upon, before finally standing up. "ARMS!" the disembodied guard voice orders. Dain'ta sighs and sticks out his arms. There's a loud zzzzzing and the arm cuffs slam together. As Cask 23 pointed out, this just gives him a pretty neat weapon. They should have shackled his arms behind his back. Stupid disembodied guard voice. We get a better look at Dain'ta's cell and we can see that not only has he Jon Nashed his walls with sheets of paper, he has reams of the stuff piled up in corners. Because he's crrrazy! I should mention that the paper actually has writing on it. Because he's not that crazy. "Jonathan Archer," Dain'ta announces as Quantum steps into the doorway, "what brings you here? They naming the prison after you?" Okay, first of all, "Hee!" but secondly, how does a man in solitary get his daily news? How does he know what's happening on the outside? Quantum wants to ask him some questions, and although Dain'ta gestures to the walls that he's busy auditioning for Proof, he admits that it's not every day he gets to talk to the man who "saved the planet." His air-quotes, not mine. And I love him for it. The credits say that there's someone in this episode called "Big Show." If anyone starts talking off their clothes to bamp-chicka-chicka music, I'm sure it'll be him.
