"The Best of Both Worlds" Line-by-Line

[Vanyel]

Riker: Warp reactor core?

 

[Brian]

SHELBY: Reconstruction is proceeding normally. It's slow work. If we can nail down this shield generator problem, I agree with La Forge. We should be at operating capacity in two to three hours.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: Good.

 

[Brian]

SHELBY: Anything else, sir?

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: Yes, you did a good job on the Borg ship.

 

[Brian]

SHELBY: I didn't get Picard.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: You stopped them, you gave us our shot.

 

[Leandar]

Shelby: Sir, I...

 

[Brian]

RIKER: Commander, we don't have to like each other to work well together. As a matter of fact, I'd like you to continue to keep me on my toes.

 

[Leandar]

Shelby: Some might define that as the role of a first officer.

 

[Brian]

RIKER: Damn, you are ambitious, aren't you, Shelby?

 

[Leandar]

Shelby: Captain Riker, based on our past relationship, there's no reason for me to expect to become your first officer except you need me. I know how to get things done, and I have the expertise in the Borg.

 

[Ziz]

Riker: And you have a lot to learn, Commander.

 

[Leandar]

Shelby: Yes, sir.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: Almost as much as I had to learn when I came on board as Captain Picard's First Officer. A fact he reminded me of when I commented on what a pain in the neck you are.

 

[Leandar]

Shelby: Yes, sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: (over comm) Data to Riker, message from Starfleet Captain.

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Go ahead.

 

[LeadHead]

^Finishing: Go Ahead, Data.

Data: Starfleet reports it has engaged the Borg at Wolf 359, Sir.

 

[Leandar]

^^Finishing:

Data (cont.): Admiral Hanson on subspace, Captain.

Riker: On screen. Admiral?
