"Relics" Line-by-Line

[retroenzo]

SCOTT: She's a beauty, with a good crew.

 

[mattman8907]

PICARD: But?

 

[SillyTilly]

SCOTT: But. When I was here, I could tell you the speed that we were traveling by the feel of the deckplates. But on your ship, I feel like I'm just in the way.

 

[mattman8907]

PICARD: Seventy five years is a long time. If you would care to study some technical schematics or...

 

[retroenzo]

SCOTT: I'm not eighteen. I can't start out like a raw cadet. No, there comes a time when a man finds that he can't fall in love again. He knows that it's time to stop. I don't belong on your ship. I belong on this one. This was my home. This is where I had a purpose. But it's not real. It's just a computer generated fantasy. And I'm just an old man who's trying to hide in it. Computer, shut this bloody thing off. It's time I acted my age.

[Ready room]

PICARD: Come.
(Geordi enters)
PICARD: Mister La Forge, I understand that before the Jenolen crashed, it had conducted an extensive survey of the Dyson sphere. Have we been able to access any of those records?

 

[Leandar]

Geordi: We did try to download their memory core, but it was pretty heavily damaged in the crash. We actually haven't been able to get much out of it.

 

[Iamnotspock]

PICARD: Perhaps Captain Scott could be of use in accessing that material.

 

[mattman8907]

LAFORGE: It's possible. He does know those systems better than any of us. I'll have Lieutenant Bartel beam down with him.

 

[Athena28]

PICARD: Mr. La Forge, I would like you to accompany Captain Scott.

 

[mattman8907]

LAFORGE: Me, sir?

 

[Orac]

Picard: Yes. Look, this is not an order, it's a request and it's one which you must feel perfectly free to decline. You see, one of the most important things in a person's life is to feel useful. Now, Mister Scott is a Starfleet officer and I would like him to feel useful again.

 

[mattman8907]

LAFORGE: I'll go with him, sir.

 

[retroenzo]

PICARD: Thank you.

 

[LeadHead]

Bridge

Data: Commander, I believe i have found something on the sphere which could be a communications device. There is an antenna array approximately 400,000 kilometers south of our present position. It is emitting low intensity subspace signals.

 

[mattman8907]

RIKER: Can you open a channel?

 

[retroenzo]

DATA: No, sir, not from our present orbit. The array is currently directed away from us.

 

[mattman8907]

RIKER: Ensign, prepare to put us in orbit above those coordinates. Captain Picard to the Bridge, please.

 

[Athena28]

[Transporter room]
LAFORGE: Are you feeling all right?

 

[mattman8907]

SCOTT: Never get drunk unless you're willing to pay for it the next day. I'll manage.
