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

[LeadHead]

Wesley: Commander, good luck.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: We'll bring ‘em home, Wes.

 

[LeadHead]

Back in the Cavernous infirmary....

Finn: You're glad to see your Captain.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: Yes.

 

[LeadHead]

Finn: I may have to kill him. I just wanted to warn you.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: He can help you, Finn. He is very influential.

 

[LeadHead]

Finn: He will not help us.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: If you could just convince him that your cause is…

 

[LeadHead]

Finn: You may be able to convince him, perhaps. Not I.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: I've talked to him. I'll try.

 

[LeadHead]

Finn: If our places were reversed, I would expect to die.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: Your places would never be reversed. He would never forcibly abduct you or play games with your life. He would treat you with respect.

 

[LeadHead]

Finn: I've treated you with respect.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: You've scared the hell out of me, Finn. You've controlled me through fear just like you've tried to control this whole continent.

 

[LeadHead]

Finn: You haven't tasted real fear yet, Doctor.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: Is that the best you can do? Is fear the only weapon you have?

 

[LeadHead]

Finn: No, but it's a good one.

 

[Vanyel]

Crusher: You know what scares me the most, Finn? It scares me to think that you might win this fight and gain real power.

 

[LeadHead]

Finn: Doctor, I don't want you to fear me.

Finn hands Beverly his sketch book, he's been making drawings of Beverly's hands, eyes and face. He'd be a good artist if he weren't a mass murderer.

Elsewhere in the caves, Riker, Worf, Alexana and Rutian Security beam in.

Worf and a security officer head off by themselves and quietly subdue two Ansata.

Riker scouts out a larger chamber.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: Generator's right over there.
