Dialogue from camp fire scene
Jean-LucNo luck ?
BeverlyI'm beginning to think there's not a single thing on this planet we can eat.
Jean-LucWell, 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.
BeverlyRemember that Vulcan dish I promised for breakfast ? Well I was just.... You hate having breakfast with me !
Jean-LucThat's not true.
BeverlyYes it is. When I said breakfast, I heard you say "I hate that".
Jean-LucThat's not quite what I meant.
BeverlyWell, then what did you mean ?
Jean-LucIt's just that I don't like....
Beverly....what I've been choosing for breakfast recently.
Jean-LucYou see, I think that breakfast should be a simple meal, and recently you've been ordering these elaborate things.
BeverlyCoffee and croissants. That's all you really want isn't it, coffee and croissants ? Well why didn't you just say so ?
Jean-LucI didn't think it was important. You don't like those elaborate meals either !
BeverlyNo, 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-LucThere's something about the flame, the smell of the smoke, it always seemed to me to be intoxicating somehow.
BeverlyI 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-LucWhat ?
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-LucDidn't you ?
BeverlyI 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-LucYou were married to my best friend. At first, I thought it was harmless infatuation, something hormonal rather than emotional.
BeverlyThen 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-LucI 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.
BeverlyThat's why you didn't want me on the Enterprise seven years ago.
Jean-LucI 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.
BeverlyAnd now we're friends.
Jean-LucYes, friends.
BeverlyWell, we still have a lot of ground to cover tomorrow. We should get some sleep.
Jean-LucRight.
