"The First Duty" Line-by-Line

[Vanyel]

Boothby: Hey! Can't you see that's a flower bed?

 

[Rett Mikhal]

Picard: "Boothby. Jean-Luc Picard. Class of 27."

 

[Mojochi]

Boothby: I know that. What happened to your hair?

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: How are you?

 

[Rett Mikhal]

Boothby: "I'm pretty damn cranky, thank you! I've already replanted this bed four times this week."

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: Let me give you a hand.

 

[Mojochi]

Boothby: "You?"

 

[Vanyel]

Picard: I've acquired an interest over the years.

 

[Mojochi]

Boothby: Well..... Don't plant them too deep. The stems will-

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: -will rot.

 

[Mojochi]

Boothby: Captain Picard... of the Enterprise, no less, and giving the commencement address.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: You sound surprised.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

BOOTHBY: Surprised? Uh, uh. Nothing you ever did surprised me, son. Except that time you caught that Ligonian with a reverse body lift and pinned him in the first fourteen seconds of the match. Didn't think you had it in you.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Picard: Well, it was all in the legs, all that running I did. *pause* Boothby...

 

[Brian]

BOOTHBY: Hmmm?

 

[Leandar]

Picard: I don't think I ever... I don't think I ever told you how much I appreciate...

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Boothby: There's nothing to tell.

 

[CoveTom]

PICARD: Yes, there is. I just wanted to... while I was here. Look, you know as well as I do I would have never graduated if you...

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Boothby: You made a mistake. There isn't a man among us who hasn't been young enough to make one.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Nevertheless.
