"Tomorrow is Yesterday" Line-by-Line

We expected much more lead time. Your encounter with the Borg was over seven thousand light years away.

 

If it is the Borg, it would indicate they have a source of power far superior to our own.

 

I'd like to see the colony site as soon as possible, Captain.

 

It'll be dark there in 30 minutes; we've scheduled an away team for dawn.

 

Number One, why don't you show the Commander to her quarters?

 

It's our poker night, Admiral. There's always an open seat for you.

 

Another time, Commander. Your captain and I have a lot to cover. But rumor has it Commander Shelby's played a hand or two. Keep your eye on her, Jean Luc. She's one very impressive young lady.

Hey there, Admiral!

 

Good morning! Or should I say afternoon?


You seem rather taken with her, JP.

 

For me it's afternoon already.

Just an old man's fantasies. When Shelby came into Tactical, every admiral's uncle had a take on this Borg business. She cut through it. She put us on track.

 

Okay. Good afternoon then!


Earl Grey?

 

Please. She'd make you one he'll of a First Officer.

 

I already have a hell of a first officer.

 

Good afternoon. And some Earl Grey would be just fantastic! I finished my stash yesterday, must get some more.

Don't tell me he's going to pass up another commission?

 

One's available?

 

The Melbourne. It's his if he wants it. Hasn't he told you?

 

He'll make a fine captain, JP.

 

You may want to tell him that. We're still waiting on his decision. This is the third time we've pulled out the captain's chair for Riker. He just won't sit down. Let me tell you something, Jean-Luc. There are a lot of young hotshots like Shelby on their way up. Riker could suddenly look like he's standing still next to them. He's hurting his career by staying put. If I were you, I'd kick him in the rear end for his own good.

 

I don't know exactly what I'm looking for, but we've tested the sections of the Enterprise's hull that were damaged by the Borg. There were some unusual magnetic resonance traces.

 

A Borg footprint?

 

That's my theory. I'll see if it holds up tomorrow. I've reviewed your personnel. I'll be assigning Mister La Forge and Mister Data to accompany me on the away team.
