"Parallels" Line-by-Line

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Data: The metallurgical scan. Have you completed it?

 

[BlueStuff]

WORF: I do not remember you asking me to. Captain, there is a Cardassian ship approaching. Galor Class.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Picard: Open a channel.

 

[Athena28]

WORF: On screen.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Picard: This is Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise. You are in Federation territory. Please explain your presence here.

 

[Athena28]

NADOR: We were wondering the same thing about you, Captain. Why would Starfleet's flagship want to venture so close to the Cardassian border?

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Picard: We are repairing one of our subspace telescopes.

 

[Athena28]

NADOR: I see. May we offer our assistance?

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Picard: No, thank you. Everything is under control.

 

[Athena28]

NADOR: If you don't mind my asking, what exactly is this telescope of yours designed to do?

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Picard: It's a long range subspace Array. We use it for gathering data on astronomical phenomena.

 

[BlueStuff]

NADOR [on viewscreen]: I'm certain it would never be used to observe a neighbouring species.

 

[Athena28]

PICARD: Certainly not.

 

[BlueStuff]

NADOR [on viewscreen]: Well then, best of luck with your repairs. Just try to make certain that your studies are limited to astronomical phenomena.

 

[Athena28]

RIKER: Charming fellow.

 

[BlueStuff]

WORF: Captain, that ship was responsible for reprogramming the Array.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: What are you saying?

 

[BlueStuff]

WORF: It is the same class and energy configuration as the ship we saw in the imaging logs.

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: The imaging logs? Are you suggesting that you have evidence the Cardassians have tampered with the Array?

 

[BlueStuff]

WORF: They are using the Array as a surveillance device. You saw the logs yourself.
