Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
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 were doing to me? Of course you're happy, but what about *my* needs? This is all a damned inconvenience. While you're 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. Data:
That is the regulation, sir. Starfleet code section 12, paragraph 4... Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
Mr. Data... Data:
Sir? Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
Shut up. Data:
Yes, sir. Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
[turning to the wedding guests]

beneath all the years of pain and anger
00:00:09.592 --> 00:00:12.999
