You're Supposed to Be Wise

CRUSHER: 

So that's The Story. 

That's how I ended 

my career. 

GUINAN: 

Backhand volley. 

CRUSHER: 

What? 

GUINAN: 

That's how I did it. 

Geordi kept hitting to 

my backhand at the net. 

CRUSHER: 

Guinan, two people died on this ship. 

Two lives that ended horribly and 

you're worried about

your tennis game? 

GUINAN: 

Are you upset? 

CRUSHER: 

I don't know. You tell me. 

You're supposed to be Wise. 

GUINAN: 

Well, if you are upset, why are 

you moping around here? 

Why don't you Do 

something about it? 

CRUSHER: 

I've done everything 

I could think of --

It got me fired. 

GUINAN: 

Do you think Doctor Reyga 

killed himself? 

CRUSHER: 

No. 

GUINAN: 

Do you think there's 

a murderer on board? 

CRUSHER: 

Yes. 

GUINAN: 

Then why are you 

still sitting here? 

CRUSHER: 

Don't you get it? 

If I start digging 

around again.... I -- 

GUINAN: 

You could be 

relieved of Duty.

CRUSHER [on viewscreen]: 

I think Doctor Reyga was 

right about his shield.
The only reason it failed is because 

it was sabotaged, and 

I'm going to prove it. 

PICARD: 

But you can't be certain of that. 

You're betting your 

life on a hypothesis. 

CRUSHER [on viewscreen]: 

I'm NOT WRONG.

[Corridor]

RIKER: 

Beverly? 

CRUSHER: 

Yes? 

RIKER: 

We've arranged for a shuttle to 

take you to Starbase-23. 

You can leave the ship at oh seven 

hundred hours tomorrow. 

CRUSHER: 

Thank you. 

RIKER: 

About everything that's going on. 

I'm sorry. I'm sure it will all work out. 

CRUSHER: 

Yes, of course. 

RIKER: 

You know the inquiry's 

just a formality, and 

Captain Picard will do 

everything he can for you. 

CRUSHER: 

I'm sure that'll help. 

RIKER: 

But if you do anything foolish before that inquiry. 

It's not going to look good for you. 

CRUSHER: 

I don't know what you mean. 

RIKER: 

I think you do know what I mean. 

The best thing for you to do 

right now is go to your quarters 

and read a good book. 

If you do anything to make 

the situation any worse 

it's going to be that 

much harder on you. 

[ Because He Believe That 

She is WRONG. And Guilty. ]

CRUSHER: 

Thank you, Commander. 

Your concern is noted. 

RIKER: 

Beverly. I'm saying this 

to you as a friend. 

CRUSHER: 

Yes, Will, I know. 

But, as a friend, please 

try to understand —

I can't quit now and I don't 

want you to become 

involved in this.

[Crusher's office]

CRUSHER: 

Computer, access ship's medical logs 

and download current autopsy files. 

COMPUTER: 

Autopsy files are restricted to active medical personnel only. 

Access denied. 

CRUSHER: 

Damn. 

OGAWA: 

Doctor Crusher? What do you need the autopsy files for? 

CRUSHER: 

Don't worry. I know I'm not supposed to be here. I'll go. 

OGAWA: 

Computer, access autopsy files. 

OGAWA: 

I assume you'll need the files on Doctor Reyga and Jo'Bril? 

CRUSHER: 

Alyssa. 

OGAWA: 

I can see how important this is to you. 

[ She Doesn’t CARE if She’s Wrong— She wants to help her friend. ]

CRUSHER: 

I don't want you to get involved in this. 

OGAWA: 

Is that an order, Doctor? 

CRUSHER: 

Yes. 

OGAWA: 

Too bad you're not my boss now.
