"The Inner Light" Line-by-Line

[HarryM]

ELINE: (overjoyed) Really? Really?

 

[Athena28]

PICARD: Unless, of course, you would prefer a porch. It would be easier to build. I could make a start right away.

 

[Enterprise1981]

ELINE: No. (They embrace and kiss)

 

[HarryM]

[Bridge]

RIKER: Geordi, any progress identifying the probe?

 

[Athena28]

LAFORGE: Maybe. I've picked up some residue on the probe's shell. I think it came from the propulsion system. Looks like it used a solid propellant as fuel.

 

[Enterprise1981]

RIKER: Solid propellant?

 

[Athena28]

LAFORGE: Sensors read this stuff as crystalline emiristol. It produces a radioactive trail that ought to be traceable.

 

[HarryM]

RIKER: Then we should be able to send out a probe of our own, trace it back to the origin.

 

[Athena28]

LAFORGE: I'll get right on it.

 

[HarryM]

DATA: Commander, I have been analyzing the nucleonic beam. I believe it would be possible to reflect the particles back toward the probe in a way that would disrupt the signal.

 

[Athena28]

RIKER: Doctor?

 

[LeadHead]

Crusher: I simply don't know the risk of cutting off the beam.

 

[Orac]

Riker: I'm not willing to let this thing keep drilling into him.

 

[Enterprise1981]

CRUSHER: If somebody gets stabbed, you don't necessarily pull the knife out right away. It might do more harm than leaving it there.

 

[HarryM]

WORF: The Captain is under attack. We must act.

 

[Enterprise1981]

RIKER: I'm inclined to agree. Doctor, monitor him closely. Mister Data, prepare to disrupt the beam. We're going to try to cut this cord.

[Courtyard]

(a young girl is playing in the sunshine as Picard plays his flute indoors)
ELINE [OC]: Meribor.

[Living room]

(the little girl runs to Eline, who is holding a baby, several years have passed)
ELINE: Meribor, this is your brother's ceremony. Don't fidget now.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: We name this child for a dear friend who died a year ago. But now, his memory will live on in his namesake.

 

[Orac]

Eline: We name you Batai, in his honour.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: And he's starting out in the warmth of friends. Thank you. Please, help yourselves to something to eat.
