Little Green Men Line-by-Line

[May 20]

ROM: The twentieth century? You mean we traveled back through time?

 

[mattman8907]

NOG: More than four hundred years. Those are military uniforms from one of the old nation states. Australia or something.

(note: I think nog needs to brush up on his earth history.)

 

[kkt]

(Nog's doing pretty well! If you showed me military uniforms from some state from the 1600s that doesn't exist anymore, chances are pretty poor that I'd be able to identify them. And Earth isn't even Nog's home planet.)

 

[sekundant]

ROM: So if they don't have universal translators, then why are they banging their heads?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

(Quark stops, and the humans stop)
QUARK: They're just mimicking us.
(Quark walks forward and tweaks his nose. Wainwright copies him.
QUARK: Brik yop tal hopdrew, ki los hoem bog?

 

[Athena28]

GARLAND: I think he likes you, Captain.

 

[May 20]

QUARK: I'd always heard primitive humans lacked intelligence but I had no idea they were this stupid.

 

[Orac]

Nog: They weren't just stupid. They were violent, petty, bigoted and selfish.

 

[Sidewinder]

ROM: And we're stuck here with them, maybe for the rest of our lives.

 

[sekundant]

QUARK: The three of us and millions of primitive humans. I like those odds.

 

[May 20]

(And later, Quark is sitting on one of the examination tables while Nurse Garland takes his blood pressure.)
GARLAND: (distorted) Two fifty over one sixty seven. If you were human, I'd say you were due for a heart attack.

 

[Orac]

Quark: Gran fat ari oo-mox? Ya ta fa.

 

[sekundant]

GARLAND: I've given them every medical test I can think of, but the only thing I can tell you for sure is they're not human.

 

[May 20]

CARLSON: Well, that's a start. I think these two are involved in some kind of grooming ritual. Look how the older one is taking care of the younger one.
(Rom is checking in Nog's ear.)

 

[Kertrats47]

GARLAND: It's sweet. Maybe they're father and son? Wouldn't that be something? They've come from so far away, but they still have the same basic family structure that we do.

 

[May 20]

CARLSON: I wonder if the third one's related too.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

GARLAND: For all we know, it could be the mother.

 

[May 20]

QUARK: Gren fa hoe loth pex pil.

 

[Athena28]

CARLSON: If she is the mother, she's quite a shrew.

 

[May 20]

ROM: I'm working as fast as I can, brother, but there must be some kind of interference disrupting our translators.
