Indeed he does - this episode was shown tonight on the current BBC2
rerun of TOS. Due to catching a snatch of this conversation I was
listening. He actually seems to say 36 twice, with a gasping sob for
breath inbetween...

Great episode, IMHO. Riley in the engine room, Sulu hanging off ladders waving a foil about and Scotty complaining that he can't change the laws
of physics.

Scotty was drunk at the time he was complaining about the laws of physics? I had figured that complaining about the laws of physics was part of his normal personality, like complaining about the state of his beloved engines!
