:23:00
in late 20th, early 21 st centuries.
:23:04
He's comparing the Enterprise
to a cruise ship?
:23:07
Capt Picard,
I demand that you see me!
:23:10
I think I have been
very, very patient.
:23:14
I demand a phone, or a radio,
or whatever else you have!
:23:19
Frankly, enough is enough.
:23:21
Especially considering what
I paid for this procedure!
:23:25
I must contact my law...
:23:31
I'm Capt Picard.
:23:33
Excellent. Maybe we can
get some things straightened out.
:23:38
Indeed. Those comm panels
are for official ship business.
:23:42
So, why don't they need
an executive key?
:23:47
Aboard a starship,
that is not necessary.
:23:50
We are capable of self-discipline.
You will refrain from using them.
:23:55
Just a minute...
:23:56
We are in a serious,
potentially dangerous, situation.
:24:00
I'm sure it seems very important
to you,
:24:04
but my situation
is far more critical.
:24:07
I don't think you're aware
of your situation.
:24:10
Or of how much time has passed.
:24:13
I'm fully cognisant
of where I am and when.
:24:17
But I have more to protect
:24:19
than a man in your position
could possibly imagine.
:24:22
No offence meant,
:24:24
but a military career was never
considered to be... upwardly mobile.
:24:29
I must contact my lawyer.
:24:31
Your lawyer's been dead
for centuries.
:24:34
Of course, I know that.
:24:36
But he was a full partner
in a very important firm.
:24:40
Rest assured,
that firm is still operating.
:24:49
That's what all this is about.
:24:52
A lot has changed
in the past 300 years.
:24:54
People are no longer obsessed
with the accumulation of things.
:24:59
We've eliminated hunger, want,
the need for possessions.
