"The Inner Light" Line-by-Line

PICARD: Picard to Enterprise.

 

ELINE: Kamin, please don't get up yet. You're still not well.

 

Picard: I asked you, what is this place?

 

Eline: This is your home, of course.

 

PICARD: Am I a prisoner here?

 

Eline: Please, dear, you've had a high fever for three days. You mustn't push yourself too quickly. Kamin? You really shouldn't go outside.

 

^ELINE: Kamin, please come back inside.

BATAI: Thank you. This sapling is planted as an affirmation of life in defiance of the drought and with expectations of long life. Whatever comes, we will keep it alive as a symbol of our survival. Kamin! You're back on your feet. How do you feel, my friend?

 

Picard: Are you in charge here?

 

BATAI: In charge?

 

Picard: I want to be returned to my ship immediately.

 

BATAI: What ship is that?

 

PICARD: Please, just tell me; what is this place? Where am I?

 

Batai: The fever. It's taken your memory.

 

Picard: That must be it. Perhaps you can help me.

 

BATAI: Anything, my friend.

 

Picard: My name is Kamin?

 

Batai: Yes.

 

Picard: And you are?

 

Batai: Batai. Council leader Batai.

 

Picard: Ah, Batai. And you say I've been ill?
