''The High Ground'' - Line-by-Line

[BlueStuff]

CRUSHER: We don't. All we did was bring-

 

[Vanyel]

Finn: Medical supplies.

 

[BlueStuff]

CRUSHER: People were hurt.

 

[Vanyel]

Finn: I know. I hurt them. You're finished eating. Get up. (Finn becomes annoyed almost angry.) Get up! (Finn pulls her to her feet.)

 

[BlueStuff]

CRUSHER: I have a son.

 

[Vanyel]

Finn: You'll be with him again, Doctor. I see no reason to kill you.

 

[Alienesse]

[Infirmary]

(The whole place is a very big cavern, with lighting, and people working. Finn hands Beverly her tricorder and takes her behind a glass wall to the infirmary area)
CRUSHER: I need some instruments from my ship in order to diagnose this.

 

[Orac]

Finn: You think if I allow you to contact your ship, they will transport the instruments?

 

[Alienesse]

CRUSHER: When I inform the Captain how serious the situation is, I'm sure he'll agree. I've told you, Finn, the Federation is not allied with Rutians. We're here on an errand of mercy.

 

[Orac]

Finn: And since the Federation does not wish to take sides, they will send the supplies that you need.

 

[Alienesse]

CRUSHER: Absolutely.

 

[Orac]

Finn: I've anticipated your needs.

(A boy comes in carrying boxes)

 

[Alienesse]

CRUSHER: These are Federation supplies. The ones we had delivered to the medical dispensary.

 

[Orac]

Finn: I heard.

 

[Alienesse]

[Alexana's office]

RIKER: You mean to tell me all these people belong to the Ansata?

 

[Orac]

Alexana: No, not really. We suspect the organisation itself only to consist of some two hundred members. There are over five thousand names on this list, citizens we know to be sympathetic to their cause. They pass along weaponry and information, march in pro-Ansata demonstrations, participate in general strikes or the occasional riot.

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: How did this ever get started?

 

[Leandar]

Alexana: Seventy years ago we denied them independence. That gave them a noble cause. Now it's just an excuse for more violence.

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: You hate them as much as they hate you.

 

[Leandar]

Alexana: Believe it or not, I always considered myself moderate.
