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

[LeadHead]

Picard: I should have beamed you up.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: You wouldn't dare.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Oh, yes I would. And should.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: Without my permission?

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: If you don't follow orders.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: If you'd give reasonable orders, I'd obey.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Doctor, I will be the judge of what is reasonable.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: There aren't any exits to the surface.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: So the only way out is the transporter. Or the dimensional jump.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: A mode of travel I'd encourage you to avoid. It's killing them.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: They're mad.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: I don't know any more. The difference between a madman and a committed man willing to die for a cause...It's all become blurred over the last few days.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Beverly, I don't have to remind you about the psychological impact of being a hostage.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: I know. I understand that. But their leader, Finn, he's not what you'd expect.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: No, he's certainly not what I would expect. Without cause or reason, he and his little band of outlaws has attacked my ship!

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: But he did have reasons. The medical supplies, the arrests. Jean-Luc, if we really examined our role in all this…

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Beverly, you are arguing for a man who may have murdered your son!

 

[Vanyel]

Finn: I didn't kill your son…Beverly. We weren't able to destroy the ship. We had to settle for him. She wouldn't even tell me her name. I call her Doctor.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: You have made a grave miscalculation.

 

[Vanyel]

Finn: Oh?
