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

[Vanyel]

Troi: No, sir.

 

[Enterprise1981]

WORF: What is a Q?

 

[Vanyel]

Tasha: It’s a letter of the alphabet as far as I know.

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: I don't understand. This is not the way it's supposed to happen. Maintain this position. I'll be in my Ready room.

 

[Vanyel]

(He enters his ready room and finds himself on the dais of the Post apocalyptic Court Room. PAP’s are yelling at him. Q glides into the chamber on his throne. He waves the crowd silent.)

Q: Mon Capitain. I thought you’d never get here.

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: Q. I knew it. What's going on?

 

[Vanyel]

Q: It’s “Judge Q” to you. And isn’t it obvious what’s going on?

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: The last time I stood here, was Seven years ago.

 

[Vanyel]

Q: “Seven years ago” how little you mortals understand time. Must you be so linear, Jean-Luc?

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: You accused me of being a representative of a barbarous species.

 

[Vanyel]

Q: I believe my exact words were: “a dangerous, savage, child race.”

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: We demonstrated to you that mankind had become peaceful and benevolent. You agreed and you let us go on our way. Now why am I standing here again?

 

[Vanyel]

Q: Oh, you’d like me to connect the dots lead you from A to B to C so that your puny mind could comprehend. How boring. (The assembled crowd jeers and mocks Picard.) They’d be so much more entertained if you just tried to figure it out. I’ll answer any 10 question that call for a “yes” or a “no.” Well?

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Are you putting mankind on trial again?

 

[Vanyel]

Q: No. (More jeers.)

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Is there any connection between the trial seven years ago and whatever's going on now?

 

[Vanyel]

Q: Oh, I’d have to say yes. (laughter from the crowd.)

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: The spatial anomaly in the Neutral Zone, is it related to what's happening?

 

[Vanyel]

Q: Most definitely yes.

 

[LeadHead]

Is it a par of a Romulan plot, a ploy to start a war?
