"In The Pale Moonlight" Line-by-Line

Commander. My status board indicates that the shuttle is back in bay two.

 

Computer, locate Captain Picard.

 

Captain Picard is in Ten Forward.

 

I knew it was you.

 

You! Picard, if you had half the sense you pretend to have, you would get her off your ship immediately. And if you like, I'd be more than pleased to expedite her departure.

 

You know him?

 

We have had some dealings.

 

Those “dealings” were 2 centuries ago. This creature is not what she appears to be. She’s an imp, and where she goes, trouble always follows.

 

You're speaking of yourself, Q, not Guinan.

 

Guinan? Is that your name now?

 

Guinan is not the issue here. You are. We had an agreement that you would stop meddling with us.

 

And so I have.

 

What do you want, Q? You state your business. Get on with it.

 

I agree Captain. Enough about this creature. She’s diverting us from the purpose of my being here.

 

Which is?

 

Ah, the redoubtable Commander Riker and micro-brain. Growl for me. Let me know you still care.

 

Worf.

 

My purpose is to join you.

 

To join us as what?

 

As a member of your crew. Willing and able, ready to serve. This ship is already home to the indigent, the unwanted, the unworthy. Why not for a homeless entity?
