Gambit Line-By-Line

[Athena28]

YRANAC: I hadn't finished yet. You'll like this. The man got what was coming to him. When they knocked him down, one of them took out a weapon and fired. He was vaporized.

 

[sekundant]

TROI: He's telling the truth.

Acting Captain's log, stardate 47135.2. Doctor Crusher has positively identified Captain Picard's DNA. There's no doubt now that he's dead.

 

[May 20]

[Riker's quarters]

RIKER: Come.

 

[mattman8907]

TROI: How are you doing?

 

[May 20]

RIKER: I'm all right.

 

[mattman8907]

TROI: The crew's pretty shaken up. I'm arranging a memorial. I think you should be the one to deliver the eulogy.

 

[May 20]

RIKER: I think you'd be better at something like that. Or Beverly. She knew him the longest.

 

[Orac]

Troi: I know it's not going to be easy, but I think it's important that we face up to what's happened. You're in command now. The crew's looking to you for guidance.

 

[May 20]

RIKER: You don't understand. I can't give the eulogy because I won't be at the service.

 

[Kertrats47]

TROI: A memorial service helps to give everyone a sense of completion. Helps them begin the healing process.

 

[May 20]

RIKER: That's exactly the point. I don't want to heal.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TROI: Will...

 

[sekundant]

RIKER: I've an open wound, right here. It hurts like hell. I don't want it to get better, and I don't want to pretend that everything's all right.

 

[May 20]

TROI: I know you're angry.

 

[Orac]

Number 1: You're damn right! And I intend to stay angry until I find whoever's responsible for the Captain's death.

 

[May 20]

TROI: That's pretty selfish of you. Do you think you're the only one in pain? Do you think you have the monopoly on loss? Well, let me tell you something. We're all hurting, and we're all angry. And whether you like it or not, you have a responsibility to this crew, and you can't just indulge your personal desire for revenge.

You tell him, Troi!

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: That is enough, Counselor.

Troi starts to walk away.

Riker: Deanna, I'm sorry. This is not about revenge, this is about justice. The Captain died in a bar fight for nothing. Somebody has to answer for that. Then I can mourn.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

[Bridge]

WORF: Commander, I am receiving a transmission from Admiral Chekote at Starbase 227.

 

[sekundant]

RIKER: I'll take it in the Ready room.

 

[Kertrats47]

WORF: Aye, sir.
