"Cause and Effect" Line-by-Line!

[LeadHead]

Bateson: This is Doctor Frasier Crane. I'm listening.

Oh wait.

Bateson: This is Captain Morgan Bateson of the Federation Starship Bozeman. Can we render assistance?

 

[Vanyel]

^^^^^ My joke too.

Picard: I’m Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Federation starship Enterprise. We were just going to ask you the same thing.

 

[LeadHead]

^^ Good!

Bateson: Captain Picard, your vessel is not familiar to us.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: Captain, have you any idea what has just happened?

 

[LeadHead]

Bateson: Our sensors detected a temporal distortion. Then your ship appeared, we nearly hit you.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: The Enterprise has been caught up in a temporal causality loop and I suspect that something similar may have happened to you.

 

[LeadHead]

Bateson: You must be mistaken. We left starbase only 3 weeks ago.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: Captain, do you know what year this is?

 

[LeadHead]

Bateson: Of course i do. It's 2278.

(It's actually 2368)

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: Perhaps you should beam aboard our ship. There’s something we need to discuss.

 

[Vanyel]

The End!

 

[LeadHead]

Bozeman moves into formation near the Enterprise.

 

[LeadHead]

And a new record is made! BOO-YAH!

 

[Vanyel]

Ok that's got to be the record holder.

 

[Vanyel]

Great working with ya Leadhead!

 

[LeadHead]

And with you Vanyel. And oh yeah, it's a record! We've never completed one in less than 24 hours before.

Total time: 17 hours, 52 minutes.

 

[Enterprise1981]

^ Probably because this is the only episode where each act is a near carbon-copy of the previous one.

 

[LeadHead]

True, it does make it easier to speed though.

 

[Vanyel]

True, but I liked the little differences. "Kicked" vs. "Blown", "ejection system" vs. "ejector system", "Make it so, Mr. Worf" vs. "Mr. Worf, make it so,"

 

[Vanyel]

Did anyone actually put the ship on Red Alert in the last loop?
