TNG Caption This! 342: Tardy

TNGCaption165e.jpg


First Officer's Log. I have to introduce the Captain to what we consider a hot tea back in Valdez. This is lukewarm!

Troi (OS): "And by 'burping' the lid like this, you can seal in the freshness!"
Picard: "Number One, is Counselor Troi trying to sell us those plastic food containers?"
Riker: "Certainly sounds like it, doesn't it."

Crusher: Jean-Luc! The pregnancy was a false alarm.
Picard: For god's sake, Beverly, not on the bridge!

Picard: Can you explain this, Mr. Data?
Data: It appears to be a real-time strategy game, sir, one which players are tasked with both harvesting resources and creating buildings and units and directing their armies-
Picard: Yes, Mr. Data, I know what it is. Why is it being played on a Starfleet console?
Data: The practice of strategy and logistics, sir.
Picard: This has wooden boats and men with bows and arrows!
Data: Time-travel preparation.
Picard: What is it they're doing, anyway?
Data: Presently the simulation is paused. The French are about to deal Henry V the final blow at Azincourt, manuevering troops directly behind the Britons to take them in a double envelopment!
Picard: ..hm. Carry on.
..can you do Napoleon?

PICARD: Well?

DATA: Call Geordi. I am not getting my positronic posterior anywhere near that mess!

Worf: "Hey! You're invading my personal space again! I've asked you nicely again and again. I've even put markers on the floor. What does it take with you people?!"

CRUSHER: What's his job exactly? What does he do?

PICARD: He's a bridge officer.

CRUSHER: But what does that even mean? Yeah, he's on the bridge and he's an officer....
 

PICARD: Didn't you tell me this artifact found on my last archaeological trip was undamaged?

DATA: This ancient CD is in perfect condition sir.

PICARD: So, why aren'y you capable to run it?

DATA: I am running it. Captain, Windows Me can not simply stop sucking 364 years later.

Distorted Majel Barrett voice (OS): Rrrr..Rid memem...me...offff..thattt pie-piecel....oofofofof...of....

PICARD: He's a bridge officer.

CRUSHER: But what does that even mean? Yeah, he's on the bridge and he's an officer....

PICARD: He contributes to the mission in various ways.

CRUSHER: You mean growling and threatening to attack any intruder, like Q, who happens to materialize on the bridge?

PICARD: When did Wesley do that?

CRUSHER: Wesley? I'm talking about Worf!

WORF: Are you seriously suggesting that my contributions to this crew are on par with a human child?

PICARD: No, I am certainly not! I would never suggest that Wesley wasn't essential to my bridge crew.

WORF: If you were any other man...

PICARD: Well, can you fix it? I wanted to try those AOL CDs we found next.

Picard: What happened?

Data: It all started when I opened that subspace message from the Prince of New Nigeria

DATA: And there goes Life Support.

PICARD: So, we're all going to die?

DATA: No sir, I am designed to operate in an airless, zero gravity environment for extended periods of time.

PICARD: Well, can you fix it? I wanted to try those AOL CDs we found next.
DATA: Captain, I already made a lot of simulations with Lieutenant Laforge about this. If there is absolutely no problem to emulate a 56k modem, in all cases, Counselor Troi will yell at us to free up the phone line.
