"Tapestry" Line-by-Line

MARTA: (a dark-haired young woman) You're slowing down there, Johnny. You should've seen that one coming.

 

PICARD: Marta Batanides.

 

Marta: Are you okay?

 

PICARD: Yes, I'm fine. I'm just a little disoriented, that's all.

 

Corey: Come on, he's just playing for sympathy now. Look, I'm going to get something to eat and head over to the casino at Bonestell. You coming?

 

Picard: I'll catch up with you there.

 

Marta: You sure you're okay?

 

PICARD: Yes, I'm fine. Really, Marta, I'm fine.

 

COREY: Come on, Marty. I bet he's got another date.

 

MARTA: That's it, isn't it? You are incorrigible.

 

COREY: Try not to end up in the hospital.

 

Q: Attention on deck, Ensign Picard.

 

PICARD: Q.

 

Q: That's Captain Q to you, young man.

 

PICARD: What's the point of creating this fantasy?

 

Q: This is no fantasy, I assure you. It's all very real. You're twenty one years old again. A brash young man, fresh out of the Academy.

 

PICARD: I certainly don't look it.

 

Q: Well, to everyone else you do.

 

PICARD: So Q, I thought you told me that I was dead. Now it seems that I'm alive.

 

Q: Oh, you mortals are so obtuse. Why do you persist in believing that life and death are such static and rigid concepts. Why, I can take your life and give it back to you again with the snap of a finger.
