"Memorial" Line-by-Line

TORRES: I found them in the ship's database.

 

(Hear's a commercial)

PARIS: What's that?

 

TORRES: Now that is called a jingle. According to the research I did, they inserted them into the entertainment programs. I know it's confusing, but I kept them in for authenticity. I even replicated popcorn.

 

Paris: Everything is perfect except for one tiny detail.

 

TORRES: What?

 

Paris: You forgot the beer.

 

TORRES: I can fix that. You didn't miss much while you were away. The Doctor gave a lecture on insects indigenous to the Delta quadrant.

 

PARIS: Ah ha.

 

TORRES: It was pretty boring, until Ensign Farley started snoring and then no one could keep a straight face. Of course, the Dr. wasn't at all amused.

 

PARIS: Oo! Hockey!

 

TORRES: It was a shame that we had to cut the lecture short, but the warp core overloaded and then the Borg invaded and we were all assimilated.

 

PARIS: Ah ha.

 

TORRES: You haven't heard a single thing I've said, have you?

 

PARIS: (still not listening) Oh! Look at that!

 

TORRES: Maybe this was a bad idea.

 

TELEVISION SET: This is Elliot Ness. Come out, we don't want any trouble! (picture changes) We're under attack. Stay down. Keep moving. We need a medic over here. (Sees himself on screen) Stay low.

 

[Battlefield]

VOICE: I said hold your fire!

 

VOICE: I need a medic. Keep moving.

(Paris gets shot)

 

[Paris' quarters]

TORRES: Tom? Tom. Tom. Must have been one hell of a dream.

 

PARIS: I was, I was in the middle of a battlefield. I was grazed right, right here. They always said television was a bad influence.
