"Time's Arrow" Line-by-Line

[Trekker4747]

GUINAN: But if the Earth is not alone, and there are millions of inhabited planets in the heavens...

 

[Ziz]

CLEMENS: Quite my point. Man becomes a trivial creation, does he not? Lost in the vastness of the cosmic prairie, adrift on the deep ocean of time. A single one among countless others.

 

[Trekker4747]

GUINAN: Someone may argue that a diamond is still a diamond, even if it is one amongst millions. It still shines as brightly.

 

[Orac]

Clemens: Someone might say that, dear lady, if someone thought that the human race was akin to a precious jewel. But this increasingly hypothetical someone would not be me.

[In the entrance hall of the home, Data enters and is stopped by a doorman]

DOORMAN: Good afternoon, sir.

 

[Orac]

Data: Good afternoon. I would like to speak to Guinan.

 

[Trekker4747]

DOORMAN: And you are?

 

[Orac]

Data: Data.

 

[Trekker4747]

[The doorman looks over the guest list, not finding Data's name.]

DOORMAN: .... Mister Data.... Could it be under another name?

 

[Orac]

Data: No.

 

[Leandar]

Doorman: I can't seem to find your name on the guest list, sir.

 

[Orac]

Data: I am a personal friend.

 

[Trekker4747]

DOORMAN: Madam Guinan has discovered many personal friends since the newspaper announcement, but if your name is not on the guest list, there's nothing I can do.

 

[Enterprise1981]

DATA: It is urgent that I speak to her.

 

[Trekker4747]

DOORMAN: Sir, unless you leave this house immediately, I will send for the police.

 

[Enterprise1981]

DATA: That is an excellent idea. I will wait for them in there. (Data does a neat side shuffle and gets through)

 

[BlueStuff]

DOORMAN: Sir, please, you can't go in there.

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Ballroom]

DATA: Guinan! Excuse me. I must speak to you immediately.

 

[BlueStuff]

DOORMAN: Forgive me, madam. He just barged right in.

 

[Enterprise1981]

DATA: I am sorry for the disruption, but he would not believe me when I told him we were friends.
