B-4
[observes Riker]
Why does the tall man have a furry face?
Senator
Senators, consider the opportunities for the Empire. At last, the destinies of the planets Romulus and Remus will be united. Shinzon of Remus is offering us a chance to make ourselves stronger than ever before. It would be madness to reject it. I beg you not to let prejudice or politics interfere with this alliance. By joining Shinzon's forces with ours, not even the mighty Federation will be able to stand in our way.
Praetor Hiren That's enough!
[first lines]
Duty. A starship captain's life is filled with solemn duty. I have commanded men in battle. I have negotiated peace treaties between implacable enemies. I have represented the Federation in First Contact with twenty-seven alien species. But none of this compares with my solemn duty today... as best man. Now, I know on an occasion such as this, it is expected that I be gracious and fulsome in my praise on the wonders of this blessed union. But have the two of you considered what you are doing to me?! Of course, you're happy, but what about my needs? This is all a damned inconvenience. I mean, while you are happily settling in on the Titan, I will be training my new First Officer. You all know him. He's a tyrannical martinet who will never, ever allow me to go on away missions.
That is the regulation, sir. Starfleet Code Section 12, Paragraph Four...
Mr. Data?
Sir?
Shut up.
Yes, sir.
15 years I've been waiting to say that.
Geordi La Forge You ever think about getting married again?
Guinan No. Twenty-three was my limit.
Guinan [Worf with a hangover, groans with his head down on the table.]
Worf? Are you all right?
Romulan ale should be illegal.
Geordi La Forge It is.
Then it should be more illegal.
Deanna Troi That was a lovely toast.
It's from the heart.
Deanna Troi And you needn't worry. I'm going to brief your new counsellor everything she needs to know.
Like hell you are. You already know too much about me. But I take it, there will be no speeches during the ceremony on Betazed.
No... no speeches and no clothes.
[Data on stage, toasts Riker and Troi]
Ladies and gentlemen and invited transgendered species...
Don't worry, Number One. We'll still have you to Betazed with plenty of time to spare.
Thank you, sir.
[to Worf]
Where we will all honor the Betazoid tradition [regarding nude marriages]. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be in the gym.
Captain, I don't have to remind you--
I appreciate you concern, Number One. But, I have been itching to try the Argo.
I'll bet.
Captain's prerogative. There's no foreseeable danger. And your wife would never have forgiven me if anything would have happened to you. You have the bridge... Mister Troi!
[The bridge crew laughs heartily at Riker's momentary demotion to house husband.]
Kathryn Janeway Jean-Luc, how'd you like a trip to Romulus?
With or without the rest of the fleet?
Kathryn Janeway A diplomatic mission. We've been invited, believe it or not.
Kathryn Janeway The Son'a, the Borg, the Romulans-- you seem to get all the easy assignments.
Just lucky, Admiral.
Kathryn Janeway Let's hope that luck holds. Janeway out.
Helmsman, lay in a new course. Take us to Romulus, warp eight.
Officer Branson
Aye aye, sir. Course plotted and laid in.
Romulus?
I'm afraid the Opal Sea will have to wait, Number One. Engage.
My life is meaningless as long as you're still alive. What am I while you exist? A shadow? An echo?
If your issues are about me, then deal with me. This has nothing to do with my ship-- nothing to do with the Federation.
Oh, but it does. We will no longer bow before anyone as slaves; not the Romulans, and not your mighty Federation. We are a race bred for war and conquest.
You are me. The same noble Picard blood runs through our veins. Have you lived my life, you'd be doing exactly as I am. So look in the mirror. See yourself. Consider that, Captain. I can think of no greater torment for you.
Shinzon. I'm a mirror for you as well.
Not for long, Captain. I'm afraid you won't survive to witness the victory of the echo over the voice.
Why have you brought me here?!
I must deactivate you.
B-4
For how long?
Indefinitely.
B-4
How long is that--
A long time, brother.
The B-4 is physically identical to me, although his neural pathways are not as advanced. But even if they were, he would not be me.
How can you be sure?
I aspire, sir, to be better than I am. B-4 does not. Nor does Shinzon.
Geordi La Forge Captain, we're being hailed.
On screen. [notices that the viewscreen has been destroyed] Open a channel.
Donatra [over the intercom]
This is Commander Donatra of the Valdore. We're dispatching shuttles with medical personnel and supplies.
Thank you, Commander.
Donatra You've earned a friend in the Romulan Empire today, Captain. I hope the first of many. Valdore out.
B-4
Never saw the sun... never saw the sun... never saw the sun...
Shining so bright...
B-4
Shining so bright, never saw things...
Going so right.
B-4
Going so right...
[last lines]
B-4, do you know where you are?
B-4
I am in a room...with lights!
