"Contagion" Line-by-Line

[Leandar]

Picard: Legend has it that they traveled without the benefit of spaceships, merely appearing out of thin air on distant planets.

 

[Alienesse]

WESLEY: Sounds like magic.

 

[Brian]

PICARD: Well, we would appear magical to Stone Age people.

 

[Leandar]

Wesley: How did you find all this out?

 

[Alienesse]

PICARD: Archaeology has been a hobby since Academy days. But why don't we talk about what really brought you here?

 

[Brian]

WESLEY: It's the Yamato, Captain. I can't stop thinking about her. All those people dead. I don't know how you and Commander Riker and Geordi, how you handle it so easily.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

PICARD: Easily? Oh no, not easily. We handle it because we're trained to, as you will be. Tea, Earl Grey, hot. But if the time ever comes when the death of a single individual fails to move us. (a potted plant appears in the replicator)

 

[Brian]

(LMAO at the transcript, which says "a pot plant" appears in the replicator. )

WESLEY: Didn't you order tea, sir?

 

[Ziz]

Picard: Now that should not have happened.

Captain's log, supplemental. As happened with our sister ship, the Enterprise is being to experience a series of system failures. So far they are random, but I fear they could be early symptoms of what happened to the Yamato.

 

[LeadHead]

La Forge works in engineering

Comm Beep

Picard: (over comm) Engineering.

 

[Enterprise1981]

LAFORGE: La Forge.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

PICARD [OC]: Lieutenant

[Bridge]

PICARD: Are you making any progress toward solving our problems?

 

[Enterprise1981]

LAFORGE (over comm): Solving them, no sir, but I can eliminate one worry. It is not a design flaw.

[Engineering]

I've been reviewing the Yamato's log, and I think maybe that alien probe had something to do with her problems.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: (Over comm) How?

 

[Brian]

LAFORGE: I need to see the thing.

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Bridge]

PICARD: If it was the probe, that explains the Yamato. But how do you account for the difficulties the Enterprise is experiencing?

 

[LeadHead]

Engineering

La Forge: I can't.

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD [OC]: Lieutenant, Are our problems likely to attain the seriousness of those on the Yamato?

 

[LeadHead]

La Forge: If you're asking for speculation, I'd say Yes Sir, they are. I need time!

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Bridge]

PICARD: Mister La Forge, time is the one thing which we do not have in abundance.

(Enterprise arrives at a brown and battered planet)

PICARD: Analysis, Mister Data.
