"Chain of Command" Line-by-Line!

RIKER: Aye, sir.

 

JELLICO: Mister Data, how long before we reach the rendezvous point?

 

DATA: We will arrive in fifty one hours, thirty two minutes, sir.

 

JELLICO: Schedule four battle drills, one for each shift. Run a series of simulated attacks from a Cardassian squadron. I want you to conduct the exercises personally, Will. Get it done. Oh, and get that fish out of the ready room. Data, you're with me.

(To LaForge)
Power transfer levels need to be upgraded by 20%. The efficiency of your warp coils is also unsatisfactory.

 

Geordi: Coil efficiency is well within specifications, Captain.

 

Jellico: I'm not interested in the specs Geordi. The efficiency needs to raised by at least 15%.

 

Geordi: Fifteen percent...

 

Data (Kissing ass): That is an attainable goal. But it will require realigning the warp coil and taking the secondary distribution grid offline.

 

Jellico: Very good, Data. That's exactly what I want you to do.

 

LaForge: If we take this grid offline we'll have to shut down exobiology, the astrophysics lab and geological research.

 

Jellico: We're not on a research mission. Get it done in two days.

 

DATA: I believe that is also an attainable goal. If we utilize the entire Engineering department, there should be sufficient manpower available to complete the task.

 

LaForge: True if everybody works around the clock for the next 2 days.

 

JELLICO: Then you'd better get to it, Geordi. It looks like you have some work to do. Data.

[Ready room]

(Jellico is arranging a sculpture or something when the doorbell rings.)

JELLICO: Yes?

 

Troi: May I speak with you Captain?

 

JELLICO: Deanna, come in, come in!

there are some child's drawings on his desk

JELLICO: The latest masterpieces from my son. It's an elephant. I think.

 

Troi: Definitely an elephant.

 

JELLICO: I'm glad you're here. I'd like to go over the duty roster with you.

 

TROI: I'd be happy to. But first, I'd like to talk about how the change in command is affecting the crew.
