"Chain of Command" Line-by-Line!

[LeadHead]

La Forge: It's possible, but they wouldn't be able to stay in there for very long. The particle flux in the nebula would begin to break down a ships hull just after 72 hours.

 

[Enterprise1981]

JELLICO: Is there a Federation system near the McAllister nebula that might interest the Cardassians?

 

[LeadHead]

La Forge: Minos Korva is only 11 light years from the Nebula and the Cardassians tried to annex it during the war.

 

[Enterprise1981]

JELLICO: Data, I want to be at Minos Korva in one hour.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: Aye Sir. Set course 3-5-0 mark 2-1-5 and engage at Warp 8.5.

Enterprise goes to warp, I guess without saying bye bye to Lemec?

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Interrogation room]

(Picard is lying on the floor, singing through parched lips)

PICARD: Sur le pont d'Avignon on y danse on y danse.

 

[Leandar]

(Madred walks in and kicks Picard awake)

Madred: Wake up. (Picard wakes up) Where were you?

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: At home. Sunday dinner. We would all sing afterward.

 

[Admiral Shran]

MADRED: What a charming picture. The Picard family, voices raised in song. Is this what's keeping you from breaking? Memories of home and hearth? Images of happier times? I must congratulate you. You're remarkably strong willed. I see no point in holding you further. You may go. Someone will give you clean clothing before we return you to your ship.

 

[LeadHead]

finishing:

The door opens, Picard slowly stands up and starts moving toward it.

Madred: We will get what we need from the human female.

Picard: What female are you referring to?

 

[Enterprise1981]

MADRED: The human who was part of your abortive assault team, of course. Doctor Beverly Crusher.

 

[Admiral Shran]

PICARD: What have you done to her?

 

[Enterprise1981]

MADRED: Not a thing. She's quite safe. I wanted to finish my interviews with you before I interrogated her. I had hoped it might not be necessary.

 

[Admiral Shran]

PICARD: Lieutenant Worf?

 

[Enterprise1981]

MADRED: He left us few options. We had to kill him. I'm more optimistic about getting what we need from the woman.

 

[Admiral Shran]

PICARD: Doctor Crusher has no knowledge of any of Starfleet's plans. She's a Medical officer.

 

[Enterprise1981]

MADRED: You might be right. I'll have to determine that for myself. (Picard sits in the chair) Are you choosing to stay with me? (Picard nods) Excellent! I can't tell you how pleased that makes me.

 

[Admiral Shran]

[Observation lounge]

JELLICO: Starfleet now believes the Cardassians are preparing to invade Minos Korva. I'm convinced their invasion fleet is hiding in the McAllister Nebula. I intend to hit them before they leave it.

 

[Enterprise1981]

LAFORGE: Captain, what if you're wrong? What if the Cardassians are in that nebula to conduct scientific research?

 

[Admiral Shran]

JELLICO: You'd have to have some pretty good evidence to convince me of that.
