"Encounter at Farpoint" Line-by-Line - Page 3

Q: Captain, thy little centuries go by so rapidly. Perhaps thou will better understand this.

A flash of light, and he is wearing a 20th century US military uniform, with a cigarette in his hand.

Actually, the issue at stake is patriotism. You must return to your world and put an end to the commies. All it takes is a few good men.

PICARD: What? That nonsense is centuries behind us.

KirkPicard · February 17 2013, 06:52 AM

Q: But you can't deny that you're still a dangerous, savage child race.

BlueStuff · February 17 2013, 07:00 AM

PICARD: Most certainly I deny it. I agree we still were when humans wore costumes like that, four hundred years ago.

leandar · February 17 2013, 09:41 AM

Q: At which time you slaughtered millions in silly arguments about how to divide the resources of your little world. And four hundred years before that you were murdering each other in quarrels over tribal god-images. Since there are no indications that humans will ever change.

LeadHead · February 17 2013, 09:52 AM

Picard: But even when we wore costumes like that, we had already started to make rapid progress.

Captains Log: Supplementary, the frozen form of Lieutenant Torres has been rushed to sickbay. The question now is the incredible power of the Q being. Do we dare oppose it?

(I always wondered when Picard had time to make this log entry!)

Q: Oh yeah? You want to review your rapid progress?
(a flash, and he changes into a padded uniform)
Q: Rapid progress, to where humans learned to control their military with drugs.

BlueStuff · February 17 2013, 06:53 PM

WORF: Sir, sickbay reports Lieutenant Torres' condition is better.

Enterprise1981 · February 17 2013, 08:21 PM

Q: Oh, concern for one's fellow comrade. How touching.

LeadHead · February 17 2013, 08:56 PM

Worf: And now a personal request Sir: Permission to clean up the Bridge.

Enterprise1981 · February 17 2013, 09:00 PM

YAR: Lieutenant Worf is right, sir. As Security Chief I can't just stand here and let...

LeadHead · February 17 2013, 09:01 PM

Picard: Yes, you can, Lieutenant Yar.

Enterprise1981 · February 17 2013, 09:18 PM

Q: (taking a snort of something) Oh, better. And later, on finally reaching deep space, humans of course found enemies to fight out there too. And to broaden those struggles you again found allies for still more murdering. The same old story, all over again.

LeadHead · February 17 2013, 10:00 PM

Picard: No, the same old story is the one we're meeting now. Self righteous life forms were eager, not to learn, but to prosecute to judge anything they don't understand or can't tolerate.

BlueStuff · February 17 2013, 10:12 PM

Q: What an interesting idea. Prosecute and judge. Suppose it turns out we understand you humans only too well.
