| Dialogue from camp fire scene | |
|---|---|
| Jean-Luc | No luck ? |
| Beverly | I'm beginning to think there's not a single thing on this planet we can eat. |
| Jean-Luc | Well, by this time tomorrow we can be back on board the Enterprise and you can plant yourself in front of a replicator with a knife and fork. |
| Beverly | Remember that Vulcan dish I promised for breakfast ? Well I was just.... You hate having breakfast with me ! |
| Jean-Luc | That's not true. |
| Beverly | Yes it is. When I said breakfast, I heard you say "I hate that". |
| Jean-Luc | That's not quite what I meant. |
| Beverly | Well, then what did you mean ? |
| Jean-Luc | It's just that I don't like.... |
| Beverly | ....what I've been choosing for breakfast recently. |
| Jean-Luc | You see, I think that breakfast should be a simple meal, and recently you've been ordering these elaborate things. |
| Beverly | Coffee and croissants. That's all you really want isn't it, coffee and croissants ? Well why didn't you just say so ? |
| Jean-Luc | I didn't think it was important. You don't like those elaborate meals either ! |
| Beverly | No, I usually prefer something simple myself, but I thought you might enjoy more variety. Well, I guess it's coffee and croissants for both of us from now on. |
| Both together | I love the fire-light. |
| Jean-Luc | There's something about the flame, the smell of the smoke, it always seemed to me to be intoxicating somehow. |
| Beverly | I remember when Jack and I took Wesley on his first camping trip to Belfore lake, Wesley kept throwing Manta leaves into the fire, watching them pop. Jack kept telling him.... |
| Jean-Luc | What ? |
![]() | Jean-Luc, I heard you. Don't push it away. When I said "Jack and I" I felt this sudden wave of.... something. I didn't know you felt that way. |
| Jean-Luc | Didn't you ? |
| Beverly | I guess I always knew there was an attraction between us right from the start, but I never knew how strongly you felt. Why didn't you ever tell me you were in love with me ? |
| Jean-Luc | You were married to my best friend. At first, I thought it was harmless infatuation, something hormonal rather than emotional. |
| Beverly | Then when the months went by and the three of us began spending more time together.... |
| Jean-Luc | ....I realised that it was something else. It wasn't right, but although I would never act on it, I couldn't help the way I felt. |
![]() | And when Jack died, you felt guilty. |
| Jean-Luc | I felt guilty before he died, having feelings like that for my best friend's wife. And then later, after the accident, I promised myself that I would never tell you how I felt - it would be like betraying my friend. |
| Beverly | That's why you didn't want me on the Enterprise seven years ago. |
| Jean-Luc | I didn't know how I would react. And then, little by little, I realised that I didn't have those feelings anymore. Twenty years is after all a long time. |
| Beverly | And now we're friends. |
| Jean-Luc | Yes, friends. |
| Beverly | Well, we still have a lot of ground to cover tomorrow. We should get some sleep. |
| Jean-Luc | Right. |
