:22:01
We should seize it.
:22:06
Mr Data?
:22:07
The strategy is built on a single
premise. Their hostile intent.
:22:13
If the premise is sound,
so is the proposal.
:22:18
If their intention isn't hostile,
what is it?
:22:21
Capt Picard?
:22:24
This is Capt Picard.
To whom am I speaking?
:22:27
Ralph Offenhouse.
:22:29
I need to talk to you.
:22:31
Number One, did you give him
permission to contact me?
:22:34
No. He must have seen me
use the comm panel.
:22:38
Listen, Mr... Offenhouse,
we're in a very important conference.
:22:43
I'm sick ofbeing put off
:22:44
by you and your staff! This is
the worst-run ship I've been on!
:22:49
You should learn from the QE2.
That's an efficient operation!
:22:54
Data, identify. What is a QE2?
:22:56
It was a passenger liner, which
travelled Earth's Atlantic Ocean
: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.
