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

[Sovereign_One]

Riker: Maybe that's the problem. I'm too comfortable here.

 

[LeadHead]

Troi: I'm not sure I know what that means. You're happy here, happier than I've ever known you to be. So, it comes down to a simple question; What do you want Will Riker?

 

[Sovereign_One]

(Engineering)

Shelby: A manipulation effect in the Borg ship's subspace field. A definite pattern at four point eight minute intervals during your first confrontation with them.

 

[Ziz]

LaForge: Might indicate high output auxiliary generators kicking in.

 

[Brian]

SHELBY: One theory is that their systems are decentralized with redundant power sources located throughout the ship.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Data: That is a reasonable conclusion. Borg technology has given each member of their society the ability to interface and function collectively. It is likely they have constructed their ship with the same philosophy.

 

[Brian]

WESLEY: You knock out one generator and another takes over without interruption.

 

[Leandar]

Riker: What kind of damage would we have to do to shut them down?

 

[Brian]

SHELBY: Projections suggest that a Borg ship like this one could continue to function effectively even if 78% of it was inoperable.

 

[Sovereign_One]

Wesley: And our best shot barely scratched the surface.

 

[Leandar]

Geordi: Well, from what I've seen, I can't believe any of these new weapons systems can be ready in less than eighteen months, Commander.

 

[Sovereign_One]

Shelby: We've been projecting twenty four.

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Is there anything we can do here to adapt to our current defense systems?

 

[Sovereign_One]

Geordi: We'll have to go through the specs again, but...I don't know. My mind's turned to clay.

 

[Leandar]

Wesley: Mine too.

 

[LeadHead]

Shelby: I think we should look at modifying the Plasma Phaser Design-

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Commander, I think we should call it a night. That's an order. We'll reconvene at 0500.

 

[Vanyel]

Shelby: Sir, if I may be allowed to continue with Mr. Data who does not require rest.

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: You need rest Commander.

 

[Vanyel]

Shelby: If we have a confrontation with the Borg without improving our defense systems....
