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

[Leandar]

O'Brien: Sir, Commander Shelby and Data beamed down to the planet surface an hour ago.

 

[Sovereign_One]

Riker: On whose authority?

 

[Leandar]

O'Brien: On hers, sir.

 

[Vanyel]

On the planet:
Shelby: Morning, early bird gets the worm ay? We've had some interesting results.

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: Commander Shelby. Walk with me Commander.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: Early bird...? I believe Commander Shelby erred. There is no evidence of avifauna or crawling vermicular life forms on Jouret IV.

 

[LeadHead]

La Forge: That's... not what she meant Data. But you're right, she erred.

 

[Vanyel]

Shelby: I'm sorry, but I woke up early and saw that a weather system was moving in. It could have affected the soil readings.

 

[Leandar]

Riker: So without any regard for the risk of coming down here alone...

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: So without any regard of the risk of coming down here alone-

 

[Vanyel]

Shelby: Really Commander, if we had run into the Borg down here two extra bodies wouldn't have made a hell of a difference, now would they? We had 3 hours before the storm front came, less than 2 hours now. Data was available. I took him. We came. I don't see your problem.

 

[Leandar]

Riker: My problem, Commander, is I expect to be notified before there's a change in my orders.

 

[Vanyel]

Shelby: Noted for future reference. Do you wish to hear my report Sir?

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Go ahead.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Shelby: The soil contains the same magnetic resonance traces. That's our footprint. There's no doubt any more; it is the Borg.

 

[Ziz]

Picard (VO): Captain's log, stardate 43993.5 - With confirmation of the Borg's presence in Federation space, Admiral Hanson has returned to Starbase 324 to discuss strategy with Starfleet Command. Lieutenant Commander Shelby remains on board to continue tactical preparations.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

[Ready room]

RIKER: I've also ordered a standing Yellow Alert. All Federation and allied outposts have been warned. Ops will continue to monitor long range sensors. I've assigned Data, La Forge and Mister Crusher to work with Commander Shelby.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: Good. You've covered all the bases. What's your impression of Shelby?

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: She knows her stuff.

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: She has your full confidence?
