Data: Captain, the universe will begin collapsing in upon itself in 1.99999999999999999999999999999……

Picard: Two, Dater, the answer is two!

Data: Captain, you do not yet know what units I am using. The number of significant figures may still be relevant.

Picard: I am going to make you relevant with a soldering iron, Mr. Dater!

Riker: Captain, perhaps you should lie down in your ready room. You seem to be disturbed.

Troi: I sense someone bucking for a promotion.

Picard: Disturbed? You’re damn right I’m disturbed! (Gestures dramatically at view screen, like Horatio pointing to a bridge) People down there are killing and eating each other and the Prime Directive limits us to drinking this vile tea and scratching ourselves!

Wesley enters the bridge, kicking a soccer ball. He cracks the viewscreen.

Picard draws a phaser and shoots Wesley dead.

Picard: That cost me 1,500 credits!

Riker: Sir, may I remind you that we do not use money?

Picard shoots Riker dead.

Troi gestures to Worf, who approaches with a large butterfly net.

Troi senses Worf’s power and cries “Worf. I sense your power!”

Worf, who prefers less verbal forms of communications during the practice of mating, growls, dumps Troi in a corridor, and goes to 10-forward for a drink.

Picard smirks and presses the Reset Button.  
Nothing happens.  
“Geordi! Fix this damned thing! How can we run a starship without a reset button?”  
“She’ll no take it,Captain!”

Picard began to shake, repeadedly jabbing the inert button…

With a flash of light, the omnipotent entity known as **Q** materializes on the Bridge.

He casts a glance around the room, sniffs disdainfully, and declares, “This is entirely too silly, even for me.”

**Q** then snaps his fingers, and everything disappears.
