"The Drumhead" Line-by-Line

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: Of course.

 

[Orac]

Satie: In fact, it's Starfleet General Order Number One, is it not?

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: Your point, Admiral?

 

[Orac]

Satie: Would it surprise you to learn that you have violated the Prime Directive a total of nine times since you took command of the Enterprise? I must say, Captain, it surprised the hell out of me.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: My reports to Starfleet Command document the circumstances of those instances.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SATIE: Yes, we're looking into those reports, Captain, very closely into those reports, after which I'm sure we'll have more questions for you about your so-called commitment to Starfleet's Prime Directive.

 

[LeadHead]

Sabin: Captain, can you tell us what happened on star date 44390?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

PICARD: I beg your pardon?

 

[Athena28]

SABIN: Let me refresh your memory. You were transporting a Vulcan ambassador, T'Pel.

 

[ElimGarak.93-99]

PICARD: I was following orders to take this ambassador to a location near the Neutral Zone.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

SATIE: I don't think we need the preamble.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SABIN: In fact, she was not a Vulcan at all, was she? She was a Romulan spy.

 

[Athena28]

PICARD: That's correct.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SABIN: A spy whom you were delivering back into the hands of the enemy.

 

[Athena28]

SATIE: Tell me, Captain, when the deception was revealed and she stood proudly on the bridge of a Romulan ship, did you make any effort to retrieve her?

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: No.

 

[Orac]

Satie: No. Even though you knew she carried Federation secrets that she'd been accumulating for years?

 

[LeadHead]

Worf stands up, angry.

Worf: The Enterprise could have been captured by the Romulans! Captain Picard did the only thing he could.

 

[Orac]

Satie: Really, Lieutenant? And where were you when this traitor was on board the Enterprise? Where was ship's Security?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

SABIN: Don't you think it's questionable judgment, Captain, to have a security officer whose father was a Romulan collaborator?
