"Chain of Command" Line-by-Line!

[Brian]

CRUSHER: I don't feel so smart.

 

[Enterprise1981]

JELLICO: Get some rest, Doctor. Will.

 

[Brian]

[Corridor]

JELLICO continues: I want Geordi to analyze the readings from Beverly's tricorder. Tell him to scrutinize every detail of those caverns on Celtris Three.

Next line...

RIKER: Aye, sir. Request permission to begin planning a rescue operation.

 

[Enterprise1981]

JELLICO: I know you were close to him, Will, but we don't even know if he's still alive. Under the circumstances, a rescue mission would be foolhardy.

 

[Brian]

RIKER: Shouldn't we assume that he is alive until it's been proved otherwise? We cannot just abandon him.

 

[Enterprise1981]

JELLICO: He's gone. I'm sorry, Will, but you're going to have to accept that. I want those tricorder readings analyzed by 1400 hours.

 

[Brian]

RIKER: Yes, sir.

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Interrogation room]

(Picard is lowered - his feet are on the floor and his knees bent)

MADRED: Good morning. I trust you slept well? (Picard taken down. He can't lower his arms completely. Madred pours a drink from a flask) Thirsty? I would imagine so. Well, It's time to move on.

 

[Brian]

PICARD: I've told you all that I know.

 

[Enterprise1981]

MADRED: Yes, I'm sure you have. (he turns on four spotlights behind his desk) How many lights do you see there?

 

[Admiral Shran]

PICARD: I see four lights.

 

[Enterprise1981]

MADRED: No, there are five. Are you quite sure?

 

[Admiral Shran]

PICARD: There are four lights.

 

[Enterprise1981]

MADRED: Perhaps you're aware of the incision on your chest. While you were under the influence of our drugs, you were implanted with a small device. It's a remarkable invention. By entering commands in this PADD, I can produce pain in any part of your body at various levels of severity. Forgive me. I don't enjoy this but I must demonstrate. It will make everything clearer. (Picard falls to his knees in agony) Surprising, isn't it? Most people feel at first that they can steel themselves against it but they're completely unprepared for the intensity of the pain. That was the lowest possible setting.

 

[Brian]

PICARD: I know nothing about Minos Korva.

 

[Enterprise1981]

MADRED: But I've told you that I believe you. I didn't ask you about Minos Korva. I asked how many lights you see.

 

[Brian]

PICARD: There are four lights.



(It's not the one with the exclamation point, but at least I got one of them! )

 

[Enterprise1981]

MADRED: I don't understand how you can be so mistaken.

[Observation lounge]
MADRED [on PADD] : What is your current assignment?

 

[Vulcan Princess]

PICARD [on PADD]: Special operations on Celtris Three.

 

[Admiral Shran]

LEMEC: Do you have anything to say?
