"Deja Q" Line-by-Line!

[LeadHead]

Worf: Captain, the Plasma Cloud is moving toward the Shuttle.

 

[Enterprise1981]

Q [on viewscreen]: It's easier this way. They won't bother you after I'm gone.

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Engineering, prepare to extend shields.

 

[Enterprise1981]

Q [on viewscreen]: Please, don't fall back on your tired cliché of charging to the rescue just in the nick of time. I don't want to be rescued. My life as a human being has been a dismal failure. Perhaps my death will have a little dignity.

 

[Athena28]

PICARD: Q, there is no dignity in this suicide.

 

[Enterprise1981]

Q [on viewscreen]: Yes, I suppose you're right. Death of a coward, then. So be it. But as a human, I would have died of boredom.

 

[HarryM]

PICARD: This goes against my better judgment. Transporter room three, lock on to shuttle one. Beam it back into it's bay.

 

[Enterprise1981]

CREWMAN (over comm): Aye, Captain.

 

[HarryM]

(Picard notices Riker looking at him)

PICARD: It's a perfectly good shuttlecraft.

 

[Enterprise1981]

CREWMAN (over comm): Captain, unable to transport. For some reason, I can't lock on to the shuttlecraft.

 

[HarryM]

RIKER: Worf, are you sensing any sort of interference from the Calamarain?

 

[Enterprise1981]

WORF: No, sir, but they are still moving toward the shuttle.

 

[HarryM]

RIKER: Geordi, extend shields around shuttle one.

 

[Enterprise1981]

LAFORGE (over comm): Extending shields.

[Engineering]
LAFORGE: Commander, the shields are frozen.

 

[Athena28]

RIKER: Cause?

 

[Enterprise1981]

LAFORGE: Unknown.

 

[HarryM]

RIKER [OC]: Lock on tractor beam.

 

[Enterprise1981]

LAFORGE: Tractor beam is not functioning either.

 

[HarryM]

[Bridge]

RIKER: What the hell is going on?

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Shuttlecraft]

Q2: Not bad, Q. Not great. But not bad.
