"All Good Things..." Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Fletcher: Aye Sir.

 

[Vanyel]

O’Brien: We have to realign the entire power grid. We’ll all be burning the midnight oil on this one.

 

[LeadHead]

Data walks past and for some strange reason is only a Lieutenant Junior Grade, apparently he jumped 2 steps in rank before he returned to his post.

Data: That would be inadvisable.

 

[Vanyel]

O’Brien: Excuse me?

 

[LeadHead]

Data: If you attempt to ignite a petroleum product on this ship at Zero-Hundred hours, it will activate the fire suppression system, which would seal off this entire compartment.

 

[Vanyel]

O’Brien: That was just an expression.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: An expression of what?

 

[Vanyel]

O’Brien: A figure of speech. I was trying to tell him we’d be working late.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: Ah, then to "Burn the midnight oil" implies late work.

 

[Vanyel]

O’Brien: That’s right.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: I am curious, what is the etymology of that indium?

 

[Vanyel]

O’Brien: Huh?

 

[LeadHead]

Data: How did it come to be used in contemporary language?

 

[Vanyel]

O’Brien: I don’t know Sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Commander Data, welcome on board. It's so very good to see you.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: It is good to see you too Sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: I need your help with the infuser array.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: Certainly.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: As you can see, we've been having some problems with the plasma conduits.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: This will need a completely new field induction subprocessor. It appears we will be required to ignite the midnight petroleum, Sir.
