"The Drumhead" Line-by-Line
- Thread starter LeadHead
- Start date
SATIE: Tell me, Captain, have you completely recovered from your experience with the Borg?
SATIE: It must have been awful for you, actually becoming one of them; being forced to use your vast knowledge of Starfleet operations to aid the Borg. Just how many of our ships were lost? Thirty nine? And a loss of life, I believe, measured at nearly 11,000. One wonders how you can sleep at night, having caused so much destruction. I question your actions, Captain. I question your choices. I question your loyalty.
Picard: You know, there are some words I've known since I was a schoolboy. "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains is all irrevocably." Those words were written by Judge Aaron Satie. His wisdom and warning, the first time any mans freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged. I fear that today-
SATIE: How dare you! You who consort with Romulans invoke my father's name to support your traitorous arguments. It is an offense to everything I hold dear. And to hear those words used to subvert the United Federation of Planets. My father was a great man. His name stands for integrity and principle. You dirty his name when you speak it. He loved the Federation, but you, Captain, corrupt it. You undermine our very way of life. I will expose you for what you are. I've brought down bigger men than you, Picard!
Admiral Henry walks out, catching the attention of gasping onlookers, followed by an eerie silence.
SATIE: I have nothing more to say.
SABIN: Perhaps we should call a recess until tomorrow.
SATIE: I have nothing more to say.
SABIN: Perhaps we should call a recess until tomorrow.
WORF: Admiral Satie has left the Enterprise.
PICARD: Mister Worf, villains who wear twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.
WORF: I think, after yesterday, people will not be so ready to trust her.
