"Tomorrow is Yesterday" Line-by-Line

[Alienesse]

I've already assigned them to the away team. And I'll be with you as well, Commander.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Of course. I appreciate any assistance you can offer. Tell me, Commander. Is serving aboard the Enterprise as extraordinary an experience as I've heard?

 

[Alienesse]

Every bit.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Good. Because I intend to convince Captain Picard I'm the right choice for the job.

 

[Alienesse]

Job? Which job?

 

[Admiral Shran]

Yours, of course. I'm sorry. I heard that you were leaving.

 

[Alienesse]

If I were, I'm sure you'll be the first to know. Poker's at seventeen hundred hours in my quarters. Deck eight.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Got another king in the hole, Data?

 

[Alienesse]

I am afraid I cannot answer that Wesley. And as you are a newcomer to the game, may I say it is inappropriate for you to ask. I will buy another card, Counselor.

 

[Admiral Shran]

No help there.

 

[Alienesse]

Fold. Again.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Three jacks looking back for the handsome young ensign. Pair of deuces stands. Flush, possible straight flush. Your bet, Mister Crusher.

 

[LeadHead]

I'm in for 10.

 

[Vanyel]

Call.

 

[LeadHead]

Now it's time for the long pants. Here's your 10... 100.

 

[Vanyel]

He's got the straight flush folks.

 

[Enterprise1981]

Not necessarily. Commander Riker may be bluffing, Wesley.

 

[Vanyel]

I don't think so. Fold.

 

[Vanyel]

So...ah...are there going to be anymore line by line threads in this line by line game?

 

[Admiral Shran]

I've been avoiding too much spamming, as it seems some don't like, but we have been waiting a while, so....



With three jacks? What, are you kidding? Wesley, you may get straight A's in school, but there's a lot you need to learn about poker.
