Scenes with Geordi La Forge 35
Do all humans give up so easily?
Geordi La Forge Bochra, we're lost. Unless you've got something that can smell neutrinos.
We have the sensor device you are carrying.
Geordi La Forge Tricorder? It's not designed to detect neutrinos.
Your eye device does. Connect them.
Geordi La Forge That's crazy. The devices aren't compatible, it would be impossible to get an accurate reading... wait a minute. Wait a minute. I wouldn't need to get an accurate reading. I'd just need it to point us in the right direction, a neutrino geiger counter...! [sighs] It's still impossible.
Geordi La Forge Because I can't see! Adapting the devices is delicate work, you can't do it by hand.
Then I will be your eyes.
Geordi La Forge You know, if this doesn't work, the thought of spending the rest of my life in here is none too appealing.
There is a bright side, Geordi. You will have me to talk to.
Geordi You see something, Q?
I think I just hurt my back. I'm feeling pain. I don't like it. What's the right thing to say?
Can you recommend a way to counter the effect?
Simple. Change the gravitational constant of the universe.
Geordi La Forge What?
Change the gravitational constant of the universe, thereby altering the mass of the asteroid!
Geordi Redefine gravity. And how am I supposed to do that?!
I mean I am the guy who writes down things to remember to say when there is a party. And then when he finally gets there he winds up alone, in the corner, trying to look... comfortable examining a potted plant.
Geordi La Forge You're just shy.
Sounds as if it's nothing serious, doesn't it? You can't know.
Is it my imagination, or have tempers become a little frayed on the ship lately?
[Riker, Troi and Worf walk into Ten-Forward, where a large bar fight is in progress.]
...Geordi, what the hell is going on here!?
Geordi I wish I knew!
Early bird gets the worm? I believe Commander Shelby erred. There is no evidence of avian or crawling vermicular lifeforms on Jouret IV.
Geordi That's not what she meant, Data. But you are right. She erred.
[after Ardra transports Picard to the planet in his pajamas]
Geordi La Forge Captain, I wasn't expecting you here.
Geordi La Forge How about a game, Computer?
C Computer
Please restate request.
Geordi La Forge Something to pass the time. Y'know, a diversion?
C Computer
Select either "visual interactive" or "verbal interactive".
Geordi La Forge Verbal.
C Computer
You have 20 seconds to respond to each question. Level of difficulty will increase as you progress. Proceed when ready.
Geordi La Forge Begin!
C Computer
List the resonances of the sub-quantum states associated with transitional relativity...
Geordi La Forge [Geordi laughs] That's easy!
C Computer
...in alphabetical order.
ST Subcommander Taibak
Welcome, Mr. La Forge. We've waited a long time to meet you.
Geordi La Forge (strapped into a chair) I can tell you've gone to a lot of trouble.
ST Subcommander Taibak
Indeed we have.
Contact the operations officer to assist you.
Geordi La Forge Aye, sir.
He's in Ten-Forward... waiting tables.
Geordi La Forge Part of what we do is learn more about other species.
We assimilate species. Then we know everything about them.
Geordi La Forge Barclay, I'm gonna need a systems engineer on this away team.
I'll, I'll ask Ensign Dern to join you.
La Forge I meant you , Barclay!
You mind a little advice? Starfleet captains are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give them only what they need, not what they want.
La Forge Yeah, well I told the captain I would have this analysis done in an hour.
How long will it really take?
La Forge An hour!
Oh, you didn't tell him how long it would really take, did you?
La Forge Well, of course I did.
Oh, laddie, you have a lot to learn if you want people to think of you as a miracle worker!
Shunt the deuterium from the main cryo-pump to the auxiliary tank.
La Forge The tank can't withstand that kind of pressure.
Where'd you get that idea?
La Forge What do you mean, where did I get that idea? It's in the impulse engine specifications.
Regulation forty-two-slash-fifteen, pressure variances on IRC tank storage?
La Forge Yeah.
Forget it. I wrote it. A good engineer is always a wee bit conservative, at least on paper. Just bypass the secondary cut-off valve and boost the flow. It'll work.
