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

[LeadHead]

Shelby: I'd like to inspect the colony site as soon as possible Captain.

 

[Brian]

RIKER: It'll be dark there in thirty minutes. We've scheduled an away team for dawn.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Number One, why don't you show the Commander to her quarters?

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: (To Hanson) It's our poker night Admiral. There's always an open seat for you.

 

[LeadHead]

Hanson: Another time, Commander. Your Captain and I have a lot to cover. But, uh, rumor has it that Commander Shelby has played a hand or two.

Riker and Shelby Leave

Keep your eye on her Jean-Luc. She's one very impressive young lady.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: You seem rather taken with her J.P.

 

[LeadHead]

Hanson: Just an old mans fantasies. When Shelby came into Tactical, every Admirals Uncle had a take on this Borg Business. She cut through it, she put us on track.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: Earl Grey?

 

[LeadHead]

Hanson: Please. She'd make you one hell of a First Officer.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: I already have a "hell of a First Officer."

 

[LeadHead]

Hanson: Don't tell me he's gonna pass up another commission.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: There's one available?

 

[LeadHead]

Hanson: The Melbourne. It's his if he wants it, hasn't he told you?

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: He'll make a fine captain J.P.

 

[LeadHead]

Hanson: You might want to tell him that, we're still waiting on his decision. This is the third time we've pulled out the Captains Chair for Riker, he just won't sit down. Let me tell you something Jean-Luc, there are a lot of hotshots like Shelby on their way up. Riker could suddenly look like he's standing still next to them. He's hurting his career by staying put and if I were you I'd kick him in the rear end for his own good.

 

[Vanyel]

Shelby's quarters.
Shelby: I don't know exactly what I'm looking for but we tested the sections of the Enterrise's hull that were damaged by the Borg, there were some unusual magnetic resonance traces.

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: A Borg Footprint?

 

[Vanyel]

Shelby: That's my theory. I'll see if it holds up tomorrow. I've reviewed your personelle, I'll be assigning Mr. LaForge and Mr. Data to accompany me on the away team.

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: I've already assigned them to the Away Team, and I'll be with you as well Commander.

Sorry I can't stay and play Vanyel, I'd love to keep going but we managed to completely miss my days off.

 

[Brian]

SHELBY: Of course. I appreciate any assistance you can offer. Tell me, Commander. Is serving aboard the Enterprise as extraordinary an experience as I've heard?
