"Unification" Line-by-Line

[Leandar]

Omag: I never learned how to speak hypothetical. (He and his lady companions enjoy a good laugh at Riker's expense - meanwhile Riker, growing ever so enraged at Omag, grabs his plate full of food and dumps it on him, sending his women scattering in opposite directions and him sitting outraged covered in his dinner) Are you crazy?!

 

[LeadHead]

Riker grabs Omag, massively freaking him out.

Riker: Let me tell you what's going to happen to you if you don't tell me about the Vulcan Ship. Your right of passage through this sector will be revoked, and more than that, I will be very unhappy.

 

[Leandar]

Omag (desperately): I delivered it... to a Barolian freighter...

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: At what coordinates?

 

[Leandar]

Omag: I don't remember... (Riker tightens his grip) Ow, watch it! You're stretching my neck!

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: Coordinates.

 

[Leandar]

Omag: At Galorndon Core, near the Neutral Zone! That's all I know, I swear it!

 

[LeadHead]

Riker lets Omag go, who falls back onto his chair. Riker grabs a nearby napkin, wipes his face, then sticks the napkin under Omag's collar like a bib.

Riker: Enjoy your dinner.

Later, back on the bridge, Picard and Data are on the main viewscreen.

Riker: As soon as I heard about this Barolian ship was at Galornden Core, I started to think Romulans.

 

[Leandar]

Picard (on viewscreen): And the Romulans are suddenly very interested in bonding with the Vulcans. Spock has been meeting with the new Senate Proconsul about reunification.

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: Reunification?

 

[Leandar]

Picard (on viewer): The Proconsul says that he is prepared to endorse peace talks.

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: And Spock?

 

[Leandar]

Picard (on viewer): The Ambassador is skeptical, but he cares a great deal about reunification. As long as there's a chance of success, he's prepared to pursue it.

 

[LeadHead]

Troi: I'm afraid that I don't see how a stolen Vulcan ship fits into all this.

 

[Orac]

Picard [on viewscreen]: Neither do I, Counsellor. How soon can you be at Galorndon Core, Number One?

 

[Leandar]

Riker: A little over eight hours.

 

[Orac]

Picard [on viewscreen]: Well, this may prove to be a wild goose chase, but I don't see that we have any other choice, do you?

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Agreed.

 

[Orac]

Data: We are losing our Romulan carrier wave, sir.

 

[Leandar]

Picard (on viewer, transmission breaking up): We'll advise you further as soon as you've reached your destination, Number One. Picard out. (transmission ends)
