"Deja Q" Line-by-Line!

[Leandar]

Q: I don't have any powers! But I have the knowledge, locked up in this puny brain. You cannot afford to not take that advantage, can you?

 

[Vanyel]

Q: I don’t have any powers. But I have the knowledge locked up in this puny brain. You cannot afford to not take that advantage, can you?

 

[Admiral Shran]

PICARD: Mister Data, report to detention cell three.

 

[Vanyel]

Data (over the com): On my way, Sir.

 

[Admiral Shran]

PICARD: Computer, remove the forcefield. If you are human, which I seriously doubt, you will have to work hard to earn our trust.

 

[Vanyel]

Q: I’m not worried about that Jean-Luc, you only dislike me. There are others in the cosmos who truly despise me.

 

[Admiral Shran]

(Data enters.)

PICARD: Mister Data, you are hereby assigned to Q for the remainder of his stay. You will escort him to Mister La Forge in Engineering.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: Aye, Sir.

 

[Admiral Shran]

(Picard leaves.)

Q: Can I have a Starfleet uniform? What are you looking at?

 

[Vanyel]

Data: I was considering the possibility that you are telling the truth – that you really are human.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: It's the ghastly truth, Mister Data. I can now stub my toe with the best of them.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: An irony. It means you have achieved in disgrace what I have always aspired to be.

 

[Admiral Shran]

[Corridor]

Q: Humans are such commonplace little creatures. They roam the galaxy looking for something, they know not what.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: The human race has an enduring desire for knowledge and for new opportunities to improve itself.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: There's certainly room for improvement, but the truth is, Data, they are a minor species in the grand scheme. Not worth your envy.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: Oh, I do not feel envy.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: Well, that's good.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: I feel nothing at all. That is part of mu dilemma. I have the curiosity of humans but there are questions that I will never have the answers to. What it is like to laugh or…or cry or to experience any human emotions.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: Well, if you ask me, these human emotions are not what they're cracked up to be.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: Hmmm.
