Gambit Line-By-Line

TROI: He's all right. He's only stunned.

 

DATA: I must admit, I am experiencing a similar sensation.

 

[Mercenary Bridge]

BARAN: Set course three one zero mark two one five, warp six.
(the four raiders walk in)
BARAN: Where is it?

 

(Picard throws the stone to Baran)
PICARD: I have something else for you, Baran.
(Picard punches Baran)
PICARD: Tell him what happened, Narik.

 

NARIK: Riker turned on us. He tried to kill Galen before we beamed back.

 

PICARD: He might have killed all of us. And I believe he was acting under direct orders, Baran. You betrayed us. This has gone far enough. I think it is time that we had a new commander. Someone who will lead us to those profits that we've been promised.

 

BARAN: Oh, really? And who would that be, Galen? You? He's plotted this all along, opposed me at every turn, endangered all of us by refusing to follow his orders.

 

PICARD: Follow your orders? The orders of a small man trying to fill a role too big for him. I say it's time for a change. Who's with me?
(The crew stands with "Galen")
PICARD: It's over, Baran.

 

BARAN: Not quite. As long as I have this, I'm still Captain of this ship.

 

PICARD: You can't kill all of us. You need us to run the ship more than we need you to command it.

 

BARAN: I don't have to kill you all. Just you, Galen.
(Baran presses the button, then collapses in agony and dies)

 

TALLERA: What happened?

 

PICARD: I switched the transponder codes. Given his feelings about me, it seemed a sensible thing to do.

 

TALLERA: Baran was nothing. We have a mission to complete and the crew needs a leader.

 

(Picard shoots the control device)
PICARD: There'll be no more punishment on this ship. Now, do your duties and I'll see to it that we complete our mission and get our payment.

[Happy Star Trek Day guys! ]

 

TALLERA: Remove that.

 

VEKOR: Orders?

 

PICARD: Maintain our present course and speed for now. I'm going to find out when and where we're supposed to deliver our cargo.

 

VEKOR: Aye, Captain.
