"Data's Day" Line-by-Line

HELM: Aye, sir.

 

Picard and T'Pel Enter the Bridge:
Data: Sir, we have reached the designated coordinates.

 

PICARD: Hold this position. Long range scan.

 

Data: Captain, I am detecting a ship in the Neutral Zone. Configuration...Romulan Warbird.

 

PICARD: Yellow alert. Hail the Warbird, Mr Worf.

 

Worf: Aye, sir. They are responding. Text only. We are to proceed to the agreed coordinates.

 

PICARD: Set course zero three seven mark zero zero five, warp four. Take us into the Neutral Zone, Ensign.

 

Worf: Captain, the Warbird is holding position. In three minutes we will be within phaser range.

 

PICARD: Red alert. I trust my crew, Ambassador. They will take no provocative action unless I order them.

 

T’Pel: (Types onto the opps console) Hold position on these coordinates.

 

RIKER: Slow to half impulse.

 

T’Pel: Open a channel.

 

WORF: Open.

 

T’Pel: I am Ambassador T'Pel.

 

???? [on viewscreen]: I am Admiral Mendak

 

T’Pel: There is no established protocol for a meeting of this nature. The logical course is that I transport aboard your ship and begin the negotiations.

 

MENDAK [on viewscreen]: Yes. Captain, I note your defensive systems have been activated.

 

Picard: As have yours.

 

MENDAK [on viewscreen]: It was not meant as an accusation Indeed, I salute your show of strength. Ambassador, we are honoured by your presence. You may transport aboard at your convenience.

 

T’Pel: The honor is mine.
(The view screen returns to a shot of the Romulan Warbird).
Have your Transporter Room stand-by. I will beam to their ship with no further delay.
