ACT II
=====
[Kirk advances on Wesley aggressively]
Wesley: One more step and you're blubber, tubby.
Kirk: Now, uh, Wesley...
Wesley: That's LORD Wesley.
Kirk: Uh, your barn door's open.
[Wesley looks down at his pants; Kirk knocks the phaser from his hand, then belts Wesley so hard that Wesley flies across the corridor into the wall and is knocked unconscious.]
Spock: [picking up phaser] Fascinating, Captain. What appears to be a portable vacuum cleaning device commonly known as a "dustbuster" is actually a phaser.
Chekov: Ah, yes, that was inwented by Peter the Great.
Kirk: Bones, what do you think?
McCoy: I'm a doctor, not a housekeeper. I just want to know where we are and how we got here.
Sulu: Captain, look, according to these readings, we are on the Enterprise, but it's not any Enterprise we ever knew ...
Uhura: And look at the date ... why, it ... it ... reads 80 years ahead of our time.
[dramatic music, focus on digital clock near holodeck control panel]
Kirk: Could it just be an extreme case of Daylight Savings Time?
Spock: No, logic tells us that we must have been catapulted into the future by this Wesley being.
[back on the bridge]
Yar: Sir, bodies have been found on Deck 11. Completely sucked dry of blood.
Picard: What? People aren't supposed to die on my ship. There must be a mistake.
Crusher: Captain, we've had some other casualties. They all have strange mottled markings on their faces. I don't think it's the flu.
Riker: Sir, what do we do?
Picard: We just had a staff meeting. I'll have to think of something. What else can go wrong?
Data: Sir, a shuttlecraft has just left the hangar deck.
Picard: Open a --
ALL: Communications channel opened, sir.
Picard: This is Captain Picard. Identify yourselves. I want that shuttle back here immediately.
Doug: < Just gettin' a couple of six-packs at Starbase 7-11. >
Bob: < Like, what does this button do, eh? >
Doug: < Don't touch that, hoser. >
Picard: You are to return immediately.
Bob & Doug: < Take off, hosehead! >
[shuttle disappears into the distance on viewscreen. Picard is miffed.]
Voice:
[unidentified, over intercom]
< There are monkey boys on the premises. >
Yar: Sir, more intruders. Near the holodeck. Shall I send a security team?
Picard: Yes, Lieutenant.
[Yar exits.]
Riker: You've got a fantastically clever strategic move planned, don't you, sir?
Picard:
[uncertainly at first, then more firmly]
All in good time, Number One, all in good time.
[ship shudders slightly.]
LaForge: Captain, look at the viewscreen! The stars are gone. I'll go down to the observation room for a better look at it.
Data: More disturbances on the holodeck, sir. I detect Ensign Crusher's handiwork.
Picard: Come with me, Worf. You too, Data. We'll settle this ourselves. Set phasers to obliterate-the-little-twerp setting.
Crusher: I heard that!
[back to hallway near holodeck]
Kirk: We need answers, gentlemen. Let's split up and...
[Troi, Yar, and Crusher arrive.]
Troi: I sense a great ego. I sense another mind ...
Yar: Halt. Identify yourselves!
Kirk:
[admiring Troi's ...uh... communicator]
That's an interesting piece of hardware there.
Yar: [tartly] It's her communicator.
Kirk:
[admiring Troi's other ...uh... side without the communicator]
I think she should have a matching pair.
Sulu: Watch out, those are even larger than Regulan boobworms.
Chekov: Keptin, it may be werry dangerous! Let me try it out first.
Crusher: Modern medicine has cured all speech impediments. You don't have to talk like that anymore.
Chekov: [muttering] Cossack!
Spock: Captain, I sense something, another mind.
[Spock and Troi see each other; their eyes meet; sweet music sounds; they draw together and mind meld]
Troi: Repressed! Uptight! Repressed! Oh, pain!
Spock: Is everyone looking at my cleavage?
McCoy: Jim, the mind meld's gone too far, we've got to stop it.
Chapel: I know what to do.
[she slaps Spock vigorously several times, with little effect. Spock and Troi start rubbing together.]
Troi & Spock: Peace! Joy! Happiness!
[Chapel slugs Troi, who falls, breaking the mind meld.]
Troi: [confused] Mom?
Spock: Thank you, Nurse.
Yar: You still haven't told me who you are.
[suddenly, the alternate-Wesley leaps up from the floor and grabs Yar's phaser]
Wesley: Now, we party, gang! Heh-heh-heh. The tall blonde's first.
[he points phaser at Rand, laughs evilly, and begins to pull down his pants.]
Crusher: I should never have let him read those Gor books.
[Kirk and Sulu rush to place themselves in front of Rand, but she waves them off.]
Wesley: Come on over, babe.
[Rand saunters over, looks down, and smirks.]
Rand: Your shoelaces are untied.
Wesley:
[looks down]
But I'm not wearing... oof!
[Rand delivers stunningly painful-looking groin kick. Sulu catches the phaser flying from Wesley's hands as he collapses in intense agony.]
Kirk: Looks like you've learned one of my old tricks, Yeoman.
Rand: Hunh. Piece of cake after Charlie X.
Yar:
[shouting]
Would you identify yourselves?!
Kirk:
[strutting up to her]
I
[pause]
am Captain James T. Kirk of the starship Enterprise.
Yar: Very funny. I'll tell Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the starship Enterprise.
[Kirk assumes stunned look as he realizes he's no longer captain. McCoy rushes up to him.]
Wesley:
[from the floor]
He's not a captain. He's not even a man. He's just a creation of my holodeck-transporter linkup. I assembled and built them all. Ooof!
[Rand and Uhura stomp on him.]
Kirk: Bones, can it be? Are we just soul-less machines, mindless automatons? Do we still have our human essence?
McCoy:
[grabs Crusher's medical scanner]
It's worse than that, we're dead, Jim.
Kirk: Bones, what are we?
Picard:
[arriving with Worf]
What is all this?
Data: I believe it's acting, sir, but not acting as we know it.
Picard: Acting? More like overacting. Can you imagine Shatner doing "I, Claudius"?
Data: Sir, memory banks indicate he was trained as a Shakespearean actor.
Picard: Baah.
[Data moves over to holodeck controls to examine what's happened.]
Chekov:
[aside, to Sulu]
Is that a Klingon?
Sulu:
[whispering back]
Yes, but the make-up is all wrong.
Worf:
[growls]
Kirk!
Yar: No, these are just some more of Wesley's toys.
Uhura: You ever seen a toy with soul like this?
[assumes defiantly sultry pose; Picard is non-plussed; Uhura and Rand exchange high-fives.]
Spock: Jim, I've studied the records of this ship. Due to sloppy writers, their holodeck is capable of anything. Their Wesley character is capable of anything. With no further facts, I can only speculate, but it may be that we are just duplicates of The Original Series crew.
McCoy: But our minds, what of them? What of our souls?
Spock: As I stated, I can only surmise that the Wesley being has duplicated us exactly. Even to the point of reproducing all the irritating characteristics of Doctor McCoy.
McCoy: I can see there was no problem copying all your circuits.
Worf: Someone fetch Data. He enjoys pointless bickering.
[Data walks back, but stops to examine Spock.]
Data: A Vulcan. Most intriguing.
Spock: An android. Fascinating.
[Data and Spock begin to circle each other.]
Data: Intriguing.
Spock: Fascinating.
[They begin to circle faster and faster, while repeating "Intriguing" and "Fascinating." Spock steps out.]
Spock: Intriguing.
Data: Fascinating. Intriguing. Fascinating. Intriguing ...
[Worf walks over and punches Data, breaking the infinite loop.]
Chapel: Doctor, look at the Captain, he's not taking this very well.
Kirk:
[miserably]
My ship. My ship is gone. What does it all mean now? What does it matter?
McCoy: Jim, get a life!
Picard: Lt. Yar, escort these hooligans away.
[Kirk numbly trails Yar and the rest of his crew follows.]
Worf: What about the boy?
Wesley: I'm not your Wesley. I'm from an alternate universe. And I'm gettin' the fuck outta here.
Crusher: It's not my Wes, Jean-Luc. He doesn't know the F-word.
Picard: Young man, I'll not have those words on my ship, especially from you, since you've been packaged to appeal to our younger viewers.
Wesley: Piss off!
[Worf boxes the side of his head.]
Wesley: Ow, shit!
[Worf smacks him so hard he flips over.]
Worf: The Captain doesn't like those words.
Wesley: [weakly] Yeah. Just get me to the transporter room and I'm gone.
Picard: Make it so, Worf.
[Worf escorts the alternate-Wesley away. All except Picard follow.]
Picard:
[to himself]
Well, I handled that rather well. Now I'll have Riker fix those other problems.
[A little old lady wobbles in from the holodeck.]
Lady: Jean-Luc, don't slouch, stand up straight!
Picard: Maman, is it you?
Maman: Yes, it is. Jean-Luc, why don't you get a toupe like that nice man,
Captain Kirk?
Picard: Maman...
Maman: And look at you. Thin as a rail. You haven't been eating enough. Just looking at Captain Kirk, I can tell HE eats when his mother tells him. And then some.
Picard:
[to himself]
It's just an illusion, a holodeck illusion.
Maman: It's that Crusher woman, isn't it?
Picard:
[getting dramatic]
Out, out, damned spot I say!
Maman: That's it. Not enough sex! And you call yourself a Frenchman! My poor Jean-Luc, I must find a woman for you.
[she wobbles off; Picard leans against bulkhead.]
Picard: I must have the damn flu. I'm seeing things.
[back on the bridge]
Riker: Status report, Data.
Data: Situation critical, commander. We are losing power to the Giant Amoeba, the Planet-Killer is closing in behind us, the Salt Vampire is loose on Deck 6, the Pizza Bats have infested DEC 20, and the Cloud-Vampire is cleaning out Engineering.
Riker: If Captain Picard were here, he'd fix this up in a minute.
Picard:
[arriving from lift]
I surrender, tell them all I surrender!
LaForge: Boy, we sure are in deep shit now.
