"Deja Q" Line-by-Line!

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: We'll keep you informed of our progress. Picard out.

(The tiny tractor beam is sent out against the huge moon)

 

[Vanyel]

Bridge:
Riker: Can you give us any more Geordi?

 

[Admiral Shran]

LAFORGE [OC]: Not without burning out the tractor beam emitter. The circuits are already beyond the thermal limit.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: Delta V is 92 meters per second. The mass is too great. We are having an effect but it is negligible.

A high pitched sound starts.

 

[Enterprise1981]

RIKER: What is that?

 

[Vanyel]

Data: Unable to identify source.

 

[Admiral Shran]

[Engineering]

LAFORGE: Impulse engines passing safety limits. We're seconds

[Bridge]

LAFORGE [OC]: from automatic shutdown.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: Reduce engine power. Tractor beam off.

The sound grows louder.

 

[Admiral Shran]

RIKER: Lieutenant Worf, what the hell do the sensors say?

 

[Vanyel]

Worf: The sound is not registering, Commander.

 

[Admiral Shran]

(There is a bright flash, and a naked Q is suspended in mid air, lying on his side, with modesty maintained by the camera angle.)

PICARD: Q!

 

[Vanyel]

Q falls to the floor.
Q: Red Alert.

 

[CoveTom]

[Opening Credits Sequence]

PICARD (voiceover): Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange, new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: Captain’s Log supplemental. We are no closer to finding a solution to the deteriorating orbit of the Bre’el IV moon but now with the arrival of Q, we now have a good idea of the cause. (To LaForge) Our options?

 

[Admiral Shran]

LAFORGE: We've done everything by the book and a little extra. We need more time or more power, and we're short on both. I'll take a look and see if there are any rules I haven't broken.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: Keep me informed.

 

[Admiral Shran]

(La Forge leaves. Q is now dressed in a pale mauve and olive jumpsuit.)

RIKER: We know you're behind this, Q.

 

[Vanyel]

Q: These aren’t my colors. And what are you blathering about, Riker?

 

[Admiral Shran]

PICARD: What kind of twisted pleasure does it give you to bring terror into their lives?

 

[Vanyel]

Q: Whose lives?
