"In The Pale Moonlight" Line-by-Line

[Admiral Shran]

On screen, Mister Data. Go ahead, Commander.

 

[Vanyel]

We've stabilized life support. Mr. LaForge is working on restoring the main power coupling, but that'll take time. It's a real mess down here, Sir.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Survivors?

 

[Vanyel]

125.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Recommendation?

 

[Vanyel]

I'd hate to have to scrap her, Starfleet could certainly use another ship, even if she is old.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Agreed. But we can't stay in this area too long. You have nine hours. If you can get her underway by then, we'll escort her back to Starbase one oh five. If not, we'll evacuate the survivors and destroy the ship.

 

[Vanyel]

Understood, Sir.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Keep me posted, Picard out.

Guinan?

 

[Vanyel]

We need to talk. Somehow this...this is all wrong. This not the way it's supposed to be.

 

[Admiral Shran]

You must have some idea how things have changed.

 

[Vanyel]

I look at things, I look at people and...they just don't feel right.

 

[Admiral Shran]

What things? What people?

 

[Admiral Shran]

What's the matter with the Bridge?

 

[Vanyel]

You. Your uniform. The Bridge.

It's not right.

 

[Admiral Shran]

It's the same Bridge. Nothing has changed.

 

[Vanyel]

I know that. I also know it's wrong.

 

[Admiral Shran]

What else?

 

[Vanyel]

Families. There should be children on this ship.

 

[Admiral Shran]

What? Children on the Enterprise? Guinan, we're at war.
