Future Imperfect Line-by-Line

JEAN-LUC: You never have, Dad. You've always been there for me.

 

RIKER: I'll have to take your word for that because I don't remember any of it. Your first step, your first tooth, nothing. And I want to remember. I guess there's only one thing we can do. We've got to build some new memories.

RIKER: I'm not sure it's still in the memory banks, but I used to have a great fishing program on the holodeck.

 

JEAN-LUC: The Curtis Creek program?

 

JEAN-LUC: Sure. We've gone to Curtis Creek lots of times.

 

RIKER: Would you like to go again?

 

Jean-Luc: You bet.

 

RIKER: Well as soon as these negotiations are out of the way, you and I are going fishing.

 

JEAN-LUC: Great!

JEAN-LUC: And then Mom tried to net the fish, and she fell in the creek, too. And then you tried to pull us both out, and you fell in.

 

RIKER: I'm not sure I want to remember that.

 

Jean-Luc: Mom really liked Curtis Creek. We went there for picnics and stuff lots of times.

 

JEAN-LUC: She was great. I think of her a lot. I'd better go change.
