"Parallels" Line-by-Line

Worf: No, I do not believe so, but I will explain when I arrive.

 

Picard: How was the Bat'leth tournament?

 

Worf worries, and looks down at the trophy. It is the large champion trophy.

Worf: It was fine, Sir.

Worf happily picks up the trophy.

Worf: I won champion standing.

 

[Corridor]

Riker: So you think this quantum fissure is nothing that we need to worry about?

 

Worf: No. No, I believe the inverse warp field re-sealed it.

 

Riker: I'm looking forward to reading your report.

(Worf hesitates outside his quarters)

Riker: Something wrong?

 

Worf: I know what you are planning, sir. I will not be surprised.

 

Riker: Surprised? I don't know what you're talking about.

 

Worf: Of course you don't.

(Worf's quarters - Worf puts down his bat'leth and trophy, then gingerly checks the bedroom)

 

Troi enters from the other side of the quarters, behind Worf.

Deanna: Welcome home, Worf. I hope you don't mind, I let myself in. I promised Alexander that I'd feed his Dalvin hissing beetle while you were both away.

 

WORF: So you do not live here?

 

TROI: What's that supposed to mean?

 

WORF: It is a long story.

 

TROI: Happy birthday, Worf. Will wanted to give you a surprise party, but I knew you'd hate it so I talked him out of it.

 

WORF: Thank you.

 

TROI: I know Klingons like to be alone on their birthdays. I'm sure you have to meditate, or hit yourself with a pain stick or something.

 

WORF: Deanna. You do not have to leave.

 

TROI: Oh?

 

WORF: I have not had dinner. Would you care to join me?

 

TROI: I'd love to.
