Data Stellare 42437.5: Ira Graves, un famoso scienziato, sta per morire e approfitta della visita di alcuni ufficiali dell'Enterprise per mettere in pratica le sue teorie e trasferire di nascosto la sua coscienza nel corpo di Data. Il comportamento dell'androide comincia a risultare inusuale quando, al funerale dello scienziato, pronuncia parole piene di sentimento e di enfasi. Il vero pericolo è che la personalità di Data soccomba a quella del professore, e quest'ultimo si ritrovi libero nel corpo virtualmente immortale dell'androide.
Picard: No being is so important that he can usurp the rights of another. [T:39:57]
Nello script è riportata una scena ambientata nel bar di prora in cui partecipa anche Guinan. Woopy Goldberg, però, non è tra le guest star nell'episodio. Questa scena è stata rimpiazzata con il cambio di look di Data cui assistono Troi e La Forge.
4 INT. TEN-FORWARD ROOM - CLOSE ON TROI
downing a sea-green liquid in an exotic "chaser" glass.
She savors the drink, her eyes lighting up as she
slowly swallows.
TROI
It's wonderful. What is it?
5 PULL BACK
to see GEORDI and TWO CREWPERSONS sitting next to her,
with GUINAN behind the bar.
GUINAN
A year on the planet Thurasia is
four hundred and ninety days long.
It rains twice, and only twice.
You're drinking Thurasian rain
water.
GEORDI
(empty glass in hand)
Water? Tastes more like...
TROI
Heaven.
GEORDI
Exactly. Where can I get some
more of this?
Guinan takes his glass with a smile.
GUINAN
'Fraid that's the last of it.
Next rainfall in a hundred and
sixty three days.
Troi looks at her empty glass wistfully.
TROI
I'm not sure I can wait that long.
6 ANGLE TO INCLUDE DATA
joining his friends at the bar.
GEORDI
(to Data)
Hey, old friend. Any luck?
Data looks extremely satisfied.
DATA
I believe my quest has ended in
complete success.
Geordi turns to the others and explains what they're
referring to...
GEORDI
Data's been scouring the library,
in search of the perfect joke.
DATA
I have explored seventy-six
thousand, two hundred and
twenty-three anecdotes thus far.
TROI
Why, Data?
DATA
It is an attempt to find the most
humorous anecdote in recorded
history. And I believe I have
done just that.
GUINAN
This I gotta hear.
All eyes are on Data -- everyone's primed to hear the
anecdote to end all anecdotes. Data's eyes sparkle in
anticipation. Just before he begins, he throws back
his head and LAUGHS THAT PECULIAR STILTED LAUGH of his,
as if to say "boy is this going to be funny." The laugh
ends too abruptly, like someone pulled a plug.
DATA
(deliberate)
There were twelve birds sitting
on a fence... Six had a notion
to fly away. How many were left?
7 ANGLE ON HIS AUDIENCE
looking at one another, thinking this better have a
great punchline. Geordi shrugs...
GEORDI
Okay, I'll bite. Six.
Data bursts into his awkward laugh again.
DATA
(happy, glowing)
No, twelve! They only had a
notion to fly away!
With quick mechanical movements, Data looks from person
to person, a stiff smile plastered on his face. The
smile fades, replaced by a look of complete surprise.
He can't believe the others aren't laughing. In fact,
the only sound WE HEAR is A SMALL GROAN emanating from
Geordi.
DATA
You did not find it wildly
hilarious?
GEORDI
What do you think?
Geordi indicates the others. Some have stone-faces
while others look like they've just been slapped.
DATA
Perhaps I should have described
the interesting plumage of --
GUINAN
-- Data honey, I don't think it
would've helped. That joke
chilled my blood.
Guinan smiles and shivers. Geordi EXITS the bar,
patting a deeply perplexed Data on the shoulder as he
goes.
Nello script non era previsto che il tenente Selar sostituisse la
Pulaski nella squadra di sbarco su
Gravesworld, al contrario
Picard, sempre nello script, ordina espressamente alla Pulaski di
far parte della squadra:
PICARD
Assemble an away team, Number One.
Include whatever medical
assistants the Doctor deems
necessary.
PULASKI
Excuse me sir, but I'd be more
useful dealing with the Mary
Rogers. There may be hundreds
who'll need attention --
PICARD
-- Thank you Doctor, but I'll make
those decisions.
(pause)
You're going to Gravesworld.
Nell'episodio la squadra di sbarco che si teletrasporta su
Gravesworld è formata da Data, Troi, Worf e Selar, mentre nello
script era previsto che fosse formata da Riker, Data, Worf, Troi e
la dottoressa Pulaski, per cui le battute che erano previste nello
script per Riker, vengono pronunciate nell'episodio da Deanna e da
Data e alcune battute previste per la Pulaski vengono dette da
Troi, oltre che dalla dottoressa Selar.Al termine della scena in cui Riker viene incaricato da Picard di formare una squadra per scendere su Gravesworld, nello script erano previste le scene che seguono, cui era stabilito che partecipasse Guinan:
12 INT. TEN-FORWARD - ON DATA AND GUINAN
talking, the bar between them. Data is in a daze...
DATA
I cannot comprehend it. It is
beyond my ability to reason.
GUINAN
Don't feel too bad, Data. Humor
is subjective.
DATA
But this anecdote had all the
elements humans find so diverting!
A play on words, colorful
characters, deception, a lively
setting --
GUINAN
(tongue in cheek)
-- Maybe it's the birds.
DATA
(cocking his head)
Interesting. How so?
GUINAN
Birds are considered to have
boring personalities. They just
sit around and eat seed all day.
Maybe squawk once in a while.
Boring.
Data begins to consider this point seriously. Guinan
suppresses a smile as she continues...
GUINAN
In fact, there's only one thing
birds do that's funny, but you
couldn't put that in a joke and
keep it tasteful.
(leans forward)
Now chickens. Chickens are funny.
Data is surprised. He's about to ask her to elaborate,
when Riker steps up to the bar.
RIKER
(cheerful)
Hello Guinan. Keeping this guy
out of trouble?
GUINAN
It's a challenge, but I'm trying.
DATA
Excuse me sir, but in what way
is Guinan attempting to restrain
me from adversity?
RIKER
Never mind, Data, I was only
joking.
Data thinks, then suddenly explodes into a three second
burst of LAUGHTER. Once finished, he looks from Riker
to Guinan, uncertainty written on his face.
DATA
That joke was funny. Was it not?
GUINAN
It wasn't meant to be, Data.
Now Data's really confused.
GUINAN
(to Riker)
Are you really going down to see
Ira Graves? The Ira Graves?
RIKER
(intrigued smile)
How did you know about that?
Guinan smiles slyly and ignores the question.
GUINAN
Remember Will -- great men have
great egos.
Riker smiles back, wondering why this sounds like a
warning. He slaps Data on the shoulder.
RIKER
Come on Data. A great man awaits.
They nod good-bye to Guinan and head for the turbolift.
Riker takes a last look at:
13 GUINAN
still smiling a smile that says "I know something you
don't know."
14 INT. TURBOLIFT - RIKER AND DATA
ride down together.
DATA
May I ask a question, sir?
RIKER
I think you just did.
DATA
(thinking it over)
Quite correct. May I ask you
another question after this one?
RIKER
(chuckling)
Sure, what's on your mind?
DATA
Do you think it is pointless for
me to try and understand humor?
RIKER
Pointless? Not necessarily.
DATA
I believe that comprehending what
is truly funny will bring me
closer to... humanness.
(pause)
Until recently, I thought I was
making progress.
15 INT. CORRIDOR - DATA AND RIKER
exit the turbolift and head down the corridor toward
the transporter...
DATA
For example Commander, do you find
this amusing? There were
twelve....... aquatic fowl sitting
on a fence, and six had --
RIKER
-- Twelve. They only had a notion
to fly away.
Data stops in his tracks.
DATA
How did you --
RIKER
-- Are you kidding? That joke's
become a legend on this ship.
Secondo il diario del capitano nell'episodio, le riparazioni della
Constantinople sono state portate a termine con successo e il
bilancio dell'incidente avvenuto sulla nave è stato di 46 feriti;
nello script invece la missione era quella di teletrasportare a
bordo dell'Enterprise tutti i superstiti della nave in avaria, e
il bilancio è stato di sei vittime nell'esplosione iniziale.
Al termine del diario del capitano che parla del compimento della missione di soccorso alla Constantinople, era previsto un colloquio tra Picard e Wesley nell'ufficio del capitano:
Wesley ENTERS and quietly approaches the captain.
WESLEY
You wanted to see me, sir.
PICARD
(still staring at space)
Yes Ensign. I assume you would
very much like to meet Doctor
Graves.
WESLEY
(brightening)
Yes sir. His theories on spatial
relationships are amazing! And
his work in thermodynamics is --
PICARD
-- Good, I get the idea.
Providing his health is reasonably
intact, I'm going to appoint you
as his personal tour guide when
he comes aboard. You have the
run of the ship -- show him
anything you think he'll find
interesting, and for heaven's
sake, don't talk his ear off!
WESLEY
(excited)
Yes sir. Understood.
(pause, thoughtful)
But why me, sir? I mean, not that
I'm complaining --
PICARD
-- Graves has a reputation for
being difficult and I'm not sure
I have the patience for that right
now.
Picard turns from the window and looks Wesley in the
eye.
PICARD
(continuing)
And... sometimes the very old get
along best with the very young.
Al termine della prima parte del discorso tra Data e Ira Graves,
nello script era prevista la seguente scena:
25 INT. LIVING ROOM ON GRAVESWORLD - RIKER
ENTERS, rejoining the others.
RIKER
I just spoke with the captain.
The Enterprise is minutes away;
he'll contact us again when she
goes into orbit.
PULASKI
You informed him of Doctor Graves'
condition?
RIKER
Yes. Arrangements are being made
to make his last days with us as
comfortable as possible.
Kareen pensively looks out the window...
KAREEN
It'll be strange to leave here.
Troi goes to her and places a supportive arm around her
shoulder.
TROI
You're a beautiful young woman,
and there's a whole universe
waiting for you out there.
KAREEN
I'll be alone. I'll be without
Ira.
Troi looks at her colleagues, uncertain of what to say.
Surprisingly, it is Worf who gently approaches the
girl.
WORF
(lowered tone)
I know what it is to lose those
closest to your heart. It will
be hard... you will feel alone
at first... but it will surely
pass, as time passes. I know.
She looks up at Worf with tears in the corner of her
eyes. She instinctively knows that his words come from
a place deep within him. The little girl in her comes
forward and she embraces Worf, GENTLY SOBBING on his
chest. The Klingon is caught off guard, initially
uncomfortable with the situation. Slowly, awkwardly,
he puts a protective arm around her, looking up at the
others to make sure they're not laughing at him.
Nello script era previsto che Picard si teletrasportasse su Gravesworld per recuperare la squadra lasciata sul
pianeta.
Nell'ufficio del capitano, al rientro della squadra di sbarco con la salma di Ira Graves, i dialoghi dello script contengono parti non presenti nell'episodio. Le parti in grigio recitate più o meno uguali nell'episodio:
31 INT. CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM - PICARD
Riker and Pulaski, stand across from Data.
PICARD
And he really believed he could
transfer his intellect into a
computer?
DATA
That is correct. Unfortunately
he never had the opportunity to
elaborate. Death came swiftly.
RIKER
Why didn't you notify Doctor
Pulaski when it started to happen?
DATA
To do so would have been
pointless.
There was nothing she
could have done.
Picard is vaguely disturbed by Data's attitude.
Surprisingly, Pulaski supports the android's words...
PULASKI
It's probably right. My
preliminary report indicates an
extremely rapid heart stoppage.
Death was almost instantaneous.
DATA
I am not an "it," Doctor. You
have been duly informed of this
on several occasions, yet you
continue to label me with that
abhorrent pronoun.
Before Pulaski can apologize, Picard addresses Data...
PICARD
Data... I realize you liked Doctor
Graves a great deal.
DATA
He was the greatest man I have
ever known.
PICARD
Does his death disturb you?
DATA
Disturb, Captain? No.
All things must pass.
(pause)
May I go now, sir?
PICARD
Yes of course.
Data turns to exit the room, but pauses at the doorway,
his back to the others...
DATA
We will try and do the funeral
the way he wanted, will we not,
Captain?
PICARD
I told you we would, Data.
DATA
I am glad, sir. It was his dying
wish.
RIKER
That's interesting.
PICARD
Hmm?
RIKER
I thought he said death came
swiftly. When did Graves have
time to make a dying wish?
PULASKI
Perhaps beforehand. Perhaps he
had a premonition.
La scena delle esequie di Ira Graves nello script non si
svolge in sala teletrasporto, ma nell'holodeck con numerosi dialoghi
non presenti nell'episodio. Nello script un breve discorso per Ira Graves viene pronunciato da Troi, mentre
nell'episodio è il capitano Picard a farne uno simile.
35 INT. ENTERPRISE CORRIDOR - ON PICARD
briskly walking toward us. We see Wesley hurry to
catch him from behind.
WESLEY
Captain Picard.
Picard stops and waits for him to catch up.
PICARD
What is it?
WESLEY
(a bit hesitant)
I heard about the ceremony you're
having for Doctor Graves, and...
well sir --
PICARD
-- You wish to attend.
WESLEY
(nodding)
Since I never got to meet him...
PICARD
I think it's a fine idea. Come
along, Wes.
36 INT. ENTRANCE TO HOLODECK - ON DATA
who is addressing the Holodeck computer.
DATA
... The temperature should be
seventy-two, no make it
seventy-one degrees. And whenever
the name Ira Graves is mentioned
it will warm considerably --
Data cuts off as Picard and Wesley approach.
PICARD
Are we the first?
DATA
You are the last. The others have
congregated inside.
PICARD
Very good.
(to computer)
Enter.
The Holodeck doors slide open and REVEAL the scene
inside. We can see Kareen as well as all the members
of the away team, gathered on a grassy plain.
As Wesley starts to step through, Data grasps his arm.
DATA
(to Picard)
Perhaps the child would be better
off playing somewhere else. This
is an adult ceremony after all.
WESLEY
(laughing)
The child? You still working on
your sense of humor, Data?
Wesley slithers free and enters the Holodeck. Picard
frowns at Data.
PICARD
You don't seem yourself lately.
Are you feeling all right?
DATA
Of course, sir. I am as healthy
as a Rigellian ox.
37 INT. HOLODECK - CLOSE ON THE FACE OF IRA GRAVES
resting peacefully in a clear glass-like casket.
38 PULL BACK TO SEE THE LITTLE CONGREGATION
gathered in a respectful half-circle around him. Troi
is speaking in a soft, peaceful tone...
TROI
... Although we hardly knew him,
we certainly knew of him. His
reputation spread throughout the
galaxy, and his mind touched all
who cherish science.
39 ANGLE ON KAREEN
gaunt, sad, gazing at the casket. Slowly, she looks
over at:
40 DATA
who seems to be enjoying this. Unnoticed by the
others, he is looking around, his head bobbing happily,
a thin smile on his lips.
TROI (O.S.)
We gather here today, to say a
respectful good-bye to Ira
Ellsworth Graves. A man who --
Data interrupts by walking in front of Troi to where
Picard and Riker stand side by side.
DATA
This is not exactly what he
wanted.
Riker is annoyed. He indicates the surroundings (some
of which are implied as being OFF CAMERA).
RIKER
You programmed the setting. The
field, the mountain range --
DATA
-- It is not the environment that
I question, Commander. This was
one of his favorite places on
Gravesworld.
PICARD
Well what is it then?
DATA
It is the tone, the pacing, the
content of the verbal tribute.
(to Troi)
No offense Counselor, but Doctor
Graves would have desired a
slightly more personal address.
RIKER
And how can you be so sure?
DATA
Why he told me, of course.
(to Picard)
Perhaps I should take over, sir.
Picard SIGHS. At last he gives a slight nod.
PICARD
If you promise to be brief. When
I agreed to this, I didn't intend
for it to interfere with our
duties. Understood?
DATA
Perfectly.
Data moves before the casket and looks pridefully at
the old, pale, shriveled face inside. He speaks in a
trembling voice, with tremendous pride.
DATA
(continuing)
Just look at that face. The face
of a thinker, a warrior, a man
for all seasons.
41 ANGLE ON WESLEY AND WORF
each squinting to get a better look at Graves. A
warrior?
DATA
Yes friends, Ira Graves was all
that and more.
42 REACTION SHOT OF THE OTHERS
at the sound of "Ira Graves," the temperature rises ten
degrees and the GROUND RUMBLES for a few moments.
DATA
Ira Graves was a great
humanitarian.
Again the temperature goes up and the GROUND SHAKES AND
ROARS. People are beginning to perspire...
DATA
(continuing)
To know know know him, was to love
love love him. But Ira Graves
was not perfect.
The same response, stronger now, at the sound of his
name. The GROUND SHAKES so hard they're almost knocked
off their feet. An angry Picard wipes a layer of sweat
off his brow...
PICARD
Data...
DATA
(continuing, unaware)
Perhaps his greatest fault was
that he was too selfless. Cared
too much for his fellow man.
PICARD
Data! That's enough!
DATA
I am almost finished sir.
PICARD
You are finished, you mean.
[T:22:06] La scena in cui Data/Ira Graves si scusa con Picard per il suo
comportamento durante le esequie della salma di Ira Graves, nello
script è ambientata nella sala osservazione dell'Enterprise e vi
partecipa anche Riker, mentre nell'episodio la scena è ambientata
nell'ufficio del capitano.
43 INT. OBSERVATION LOUNGE - RIKER AND PICARD
stand across from Data.
PICARD
What's become of your judgment?
DATA
Perhaps I am maturing, sir.
PICARD
Do you consider it mature to
program the mountains to tremble
every time you say the name, Ira
Graves?
Data sheepishly looks down at the ground.
PICARD
(continuing)
Not to mention the air warming
at the very thought of him. We
would've been barbequed if we'd
stayed much longer.
Data is even more ashamed -- suddenly incredibly down
on himself.
DATA
I seem to have overdone it.
RIKER
To put it mildly.
DATA
I brought shame to this ship.
To the good name of Starfleet.
PICARD
Data --
DATA
-- I was only trying to carry out
his wishes. To make sure I kept
my promise.
PICARD
I know that Data.
Picard is concerned by Data's sudden melancholy. He
somewhat awkwardly puts a hand on the android's
shoulder in support.
PICARD
(continuing)
Look... I realize you've been
studying the human equation with
great alacrity, but maybe you've
been trying just a little too
hard. Do you know what I mean?
A somber, doe-eyed Data nods his head. Picard
continues, actually feeling a bit guilty...
PICARD
(continuing)
Try and relax a little. Don't
try to be so... "human." Just
be yourself. Okay?
DATA
(serious, just a touch
of sadness)
Affirmative, sir. I will work
on staying within myself. Now
if you will excuse me, I am due
on the bridge.
Picard nods and Data begins to exit. Picard looks at
Riker and shrugs, hoping he didn't come down on him too
hard.
[T:23:35] La scena che nell'episodio è tra Picard e Troi mentre
passeggiano in un corridoio dell'Enterprise, nello script era
prevista tra Riker e Picard. Le battute di Riker presenti nello
script, a volte leggermente modificate, vengono pronunciate da
Deanna. Al termine di questa scena, nello script era previsto che
Riker e Picard si dirigessero nell'alloggio di Kareen Brianon:
They stop at a door.
PICARD
It's Captain Picard and Commander
Riker. May we come in?
46 INT. KAREEN'S QUARTERS - PICARD AND RIKER
ENTER. Kareen sits in a form-fitting leather chair,
looking very beautiful and very sad.
PICARD
We've come to pay our respects,
Miss Brianon.
KAREEN
Thank you, gentlemen. That's most
thoughtful.
RIKER
We're due at Starbase Six in less
than twelve hours. We thought
you might enjoy a quick look at
the bridge before we arrive.
KAREEN
Can one see the stars from up
there?
PICARD
Oh yes. Closer than you've ever
seen them before.
This thought brings the flicker of a smile to her
lovely face. She stands up gracefully...
KAREEN
I think I'd enjoy that very much.
Each man takes a hand and escorts her out of the room.
Nello script Data viene condotto da Picard in infermeria dalla
dottoressa Pulaski per acccertarsi che Data funzioni
correttamente, mentre nell'episodio si recano in sala macchine da Geordi La Forge. Nel brano dello
script riportato qui di seguito i dialoghi che compaiono
abbastanza fedelmente nell'episodio sono in grigio; le battute della Pulaski
vengono dette da La Forge nell'episodio.
55 INT. SICKBAY - CLOSE ON PULASKI
looking displeased.
PULASKI
I don't oil machinery.
56 PULL BACK TO SEE
Pulaski standing across from Picard, with Data sitting
up on a bed behind them.
PULASKI
Why don't you take it down to
Engineering?
PICARD
Because I brought him to you.
I want a complete medical check
run on him immediately.
PULASKI
(exasperated)
I'll do the best I can --
PICARD
-- I expect nothing less.
PULASKI
-- But if it blew a fuse or
something I may not pick it up.
PICARD
I have the utmost faith in your
abilities, Doctor. I know nothing
will get by you.
Behind them, Data has been smiling -- amused at their
conversation.
CUT TO:
57 CLOSE-UP OF MEDICAL MONITOR
graphs rising and falling.
58 PULL BACK TO SEE
Data lying on a medical bed with Pulaski hovering over
him, running instruments along his body. Data takes
the time to leer at her body. Pulaski comments dryly
without taking her eyes off her instruments...
PULASKI
I'm sure there's a reason you're
looking at me that way.
DATA
I am simply looking. Any thought
of ulterior motive rests with you.
Perhaps you are projecting your
own desires.
PULASKI
(derisive chuckle)
Perhaps not. I've had three
husbands dear, and they've all
been flesh and blood. For some
strange reason I like it that way.
(pause)
Now shut up and turn over.
DATA
(shrugging)
Very well. It is your loss.
59 INT. ADJOINING ROOM IN SICKBAY - DATA
WALKS IN as Picard, Pulaski and Troi prepare to discuss
the results.
PICARD
Wait for me in the corridor, Mister
Data.
DATA
What for? This concerns me more
than it does any of you.
PICARD
(raising voice)
You will wait for me in the
corridor!
Data SIGHS and reluctantly EXITS.
PICARD
(continuing)
His insubordination is growing
by leaps and bounds. I could
throw him in the brig but I'd
rather try and help him.
PULASKI
Well I really don't know what to
suggest. Physically it's fit as
a fiddle. Granted it's not easy
to examine a tin can the size of
a human, but I'll be damned if
I can find anything wrong with
it.
Picard begins to pace -- he's frustrated and concerned.
TROI
Perhaps we're looking in the wrong
place, sir.
PICARD
Explain.
TROI
Well, Data's physical health may
be unimpaired but it's his mental
health that needs to be addressed.
PULASKI
Are you suggesting it's losing
its mind?
Troi thinks before answering...
TROI
With your permission Captain,
there's one way to find out.
[T:30:27] Troi entra nell'ufficio del capitano, che sta parlando
con La Forge, per fare rapporto sul test di stabilità psicotronica
effettuato su Data. Nello script era previsto che tale rapporto
Troi lo facesse collegandosi con Picard attraverso un monitor.
A partire più o meno da questo punto la storia narrata nell'episodio è piuttosto diversa da quella riportata nello script e Ira/Data si dimostra molto più instabile e violento di quanto visto nell'episodio. A grandi linee questa è la sequenza di eventi narrati nello script:
As the others help
the android to his feet, Picard notices that Kareen is
standing away from the others, staring at the computer
terminal. He goes to see what she sees...
78 ANGLE ON COMPUTER VIEWSCREEN
It simply reads: "GOOD-BYE KAREEN. I'M SORRY."
Picard puts his hand on her shoulder...
KAREEN
(sad half-whisper)
He's in there. Ira put himself
in the computer.
PICARD
No Kareen. The real Ira Graves
never left the planet.
79 EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)
streaks past us on its way to Starbase Six.
FADE OUT.
END OF ACT FIVE
THE END
