"Q Who?" Line by Line

[Vanyel]

Computer: Captain Picard is in 10 Forward.

 

[Admiral Shran]

[Ten forward]

GUINAN: I knew it was you.

 

[Vanyel]

Q: You! Picard if you had half the sense you pretend to have you’d get her off your ship immediately. And if you’d like I’d more than pleased to expedite her departure.

 

[Admiral Shran]

PICARD: You know him?

 

[Vanyel]

Guinan: We have had some dealings.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: Those dealings were two centuries ago. This creature is not what she appears to be. She's an imp, and where she goes, trouble always follows.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: You’re speaking of yourself Q, not Guinan.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: Guinan? Is that your name now?

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: Guinan is not the issue here, you are. We had an agreement that you would stop meddling with us.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: And so I have.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: What do you want Q! You state you business! Get on with it!

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: I agree, Captain. Enough about this creature. She's diverting us from the purpose of my being here.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: (entering 10 Forward with Worf) Which is?

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: Ah, the redoubtable Commander Riker. And Micro-brain. Growl for me. Let me know you still care.

 

[Vanyel]

Worf advances on Q.
Picard: Worf.
Worf stops.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: My purpose is to join you.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: To join us as what?

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: As a member of the crew. Willing and able. Ready to serve. This ship is already home for the indigent, the unwanted, the unworthy. Why not for a homeless entity.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker “Homeless?”

 

[Admiral Shran]

Q: Yes.
