All I’m saying is that she spends an unhealthy amount of time at the office. I mean, do you have to live so close to the starbase?

Character
Wesley
Dialogue
She’s chief engineer, Mom – that’s why we moved here. She’d had enough of relocating as a kid, and then on the Enterprise. It’s Law 179: “When you’re traveling all the time, you’re never at home.”

Character
Beverly
Dialogue
But she is never at home! And please, stop it with those incessant laws. You know, I think she might have OCD. I’m serious. It’s worth her considering diagnosis – there are effective therapy options available.

Which I’m sure you’ll tell her about the next time you see her. Anyway, you remember how it was on the Enterprise. If I recall, you and Captain Picard did your fair share of late nights. Frequently together.

Wesley! You know my relationship with Jean-Luc was strictly professional. At least back then. Except that one time.

And don’t think I haven’t noticed how doe-eyed you and Robin are at work.

Yes, but we’re happily married, Mom. Speaking of which, I’m going to surprise her with dinner – and a little gift of Dilithium for the reaction efficiency prototype she’s working on.

How romantic. I guess I’d better leave you two lovebirds to it. You can both come visit me aboard the Pasteur next time. I see Jack more than I see you, and he’s on the Enterprise-G!

Whatever you say, Captain, because I’m already late! I’ll commission an Independent to mine that Dilithium for me while I get ready.

You’re up, Commander. To move things along a little, since time is not on our side, I’d recommend the nearby Babel system for fresh Dilithium.

Don’t you dare take that tone with me! I will fix the Origin Sector, and you’re still going to help me do it. As is Mr Crusher.

But this won’t be what would’ve happened, Q. This will be your distorted fantasy, created only to persuade me to join you. Though for what, I am not yet certain.

Precisely! Don’t you want to stick around and find out what I’m up to? Besides, you wouldn’t want to miss an opportunity to see a certain… Robin Lefler again, would you?

Which part? Oh, you mean the bit about your old squeeze, Robin Lefler? I heard she missed you terribly after you left, and that you’d not even bothered to look in on her over the years.

You don’t know what this means to me, Commander. You’ve helped me satisfy Law 162: “A surprise dinner date is the best kind of unexpected. Especially if it includes gifts!”

I’ll bear you in mind for future work – finding reliable Independents is surprisingly hard around here. Bobbie and I are often in need of resources and technology for our work.

You know, I needed to see this. I often think about Robin… Bobbie. This is a life I very much wanted. A normal life, you might say, but one that’s clearly extraordinary. But it’s not the life I chose.

Nice try, Q, but can I go now? I’d like to pay the real Robin a visit. After all, a couple of dimensions can’t keep good friends apart.

You’re a lifesaver, Commander! Say, I couldn’t trouble you to drop me off at Starbase 5 as well, could I? I’m running late for a special dinner engagement. I’ll make it worth your while.

Great! I guess we may need to revisit the first Law: “You can only count on yourself.” To be honest, that one hasn’t been true for a while now.

Dialogue
Sorry, that’s… You see, Bobbie, my wife, she has these laws. Robin’s Laws. There are a lot of them. I have my own hardbound volume, which is often updated and expanded.

I even added a few myself over the years. They’re based on everything she’s learned in her life. They help her stay on the straight and narrow, so to speak. Must sound strange, huh?
