Feed The Wolf Inside

Holo Security Officer : 

Our scans picked you out right away. 

A rigorous debrief is protocol for Terrans. 

Holo Security Officer 2 : 

We also know You're a Murderer in at least TWO Universes. 

Don't look at Him. Look at Us. 

Holo Security Officer :

So, this will be your second universe, your third timeline. 

Depends on how you look at it. 

Evil Georgiou :

I like to look at it like this -- 

Holo Security Officer 2 :

Why are you blinking? 

Evil Georgiou :

Why aren't you? 

Holo Security Officer :

What was Your Connection to Control? 

Evil Georgiou :

We Dated. 

Holo Security Officer 2 :

All Terrans are Duplicitous by Their Biology. 

Evil Georgiou :

Or Biplicitous by Our Duology. 

Holo Security Officer :

Neither "ology" has anything to do with it. 

You may not be aware, but in the past hundred years, 

We've discovered a chimeric strain on the subatomic level in The Terran stem cell. 

Evil Georgiou :

Silly Holo. You cannot rattle me 

by introducing a completely fabricated biological component 

to My Nastiness and Inherently Bad Behavior. 

I'm Extremely WICKED, even for a Terran. 

Holo Security Officer :

Who are you? 

Evil Georgiou :

What if You're NOT A Holo? 

Make her stop. 

Evil Georgiou :

What if You're A Human programmed 

to THINK He's A Holo? 

( Chuckles ) 

Big Glasses :

You broke My Holos. 

Evil Georgiou :

Blinking at their harmonic rate disrupts the holo protocols, 

creating a reference loop that shuts them down. 

Upgrade Your Programs and Stop Wasting My Time.

 

Why are You Wearing Glasses? 

Big Glasses :

Um, they make me look smarter. 

I Like 'em. 

Evil Georgiou :

....I MIGHT Decide to Like You -- 

Debrief as You Will. 

Big Glasses :

You're Curious about My Badge. 

Evil Georgiou :

I'm Bored. 

I Thought I could break it down for parts. 

Big Glasses :

Play with it. 

He removes his badge and rank insignia 

from his uniform, tossing it over and across the desk -- 

She CRUSHES it in her fist, 

letting it drop onto the desk and roll onto the floor, 

as a tight ball of twisted metal.

Big Glasses :

It's clear, Emperor, what you're capable of. 

What's NOT Clear to Me is 

Why You chose to come here. 

Evil Georgiou :

I Have a Curious Nature. 

Big Glasses :

Really? April 5 is My Birthday. 

A Terran Holy Day. April 5, 2063... 

first-ever contact between Terrans and a Vulcan survey ship. 

But then, Your People slaughtered everybody on board. 

Evil Georgiou :

Vulcans need to learn to stay in Their Lane sometimes. 

And it's not like it's a HIGH Holy Day. 

Big Glasses :

I've been fascinated by 

Terran History and Methodology

since I was a boy.

 

There are VERY FEW species 

that DO Things simply to DO them. 

Evil Georgiou :

We're mostly untroubled by pesky motivations. 

Except for Revenge. We Do Like That One. 

Big Glasses :

It seems you've created An Empire 

based on The Maxim, 

"Because We FEEL Like It." 

So WHY would you EVER join a Starfleet Crew? 

If you simply wanted 

to butcher them, You would have. 

Evil Georgiou :

Much as I enjoy being fetishized... and I Do... 

I'll Answer Your Questions if You Answer Mine first. 

Big Glasses :

No, You won't really do that. 

Evil Georgiou :

Correct. 

Big Glasses :

And even if You Did, You'd Lie. 

So the only way I'll glean ANY Information 

is via The Questions You Ask ME. 

So, please : -- 

Evil Georgiou :

Who's REALLY in Charge now? 

The Burn appeared to have been 

quite the humbling experience for The Federation. 

Who was responsible? 

Big Glasses :

That's Two Questions. 

Pick one. 

.....There are conflicting theories, 

but no hard proof pointing at any one particular Bad Guy. 

Evil Georgiou :

Sounds like The Federation lost a step. Or five. 

Big Glasses :

And yet it endures. Unlike The Terran Empire, which fell centuries ago. 

Were you aware that the distance between our two universes 

started expanding sometime after your departure? 

There hasn't been a single crossing in over 500 years. 

You didn't know that, did you? You're all alone now. 

Evil Georgiou :

I think... You and The Federation are afraid. 

Because whoever DID this must be Merciless. 

A Threat to Whatever or Whomever you hold Dear. 

The Weakness of People is generally Other People... isn't it? 

Big Glasses :

You're Not Wrong. 

But that could also explain 

Why You'd fall in line with Discovery. 

There's A Person on The Crew... 

You Care About, isn't there? 

1999-2021

In a Palace of Dreams, 

A Queen stands alone. 

In Her Wisdom 

The One Chance 

to Save Her People. 

She is Strong.

She is Determined —

She is Their Only Hope.

“There are Things I Cannot Do.

I Cannot Watch while People Suffer, 

I  Cannot Sit when Something Must Be Done, 

I Cannot Judge Those Who are Different. 

There are Things I Cannot Do —Run, Hide, Ignore. 

There are Things I Cannot Do.

But there are certainly 

Things I WILL Do."

Youssa People Gon'a Die..?

I don't know.

Gungans get pasted too, eh?

I hope not.

Gungans no dyin' without A Fight.

Wesa warriors.

Wesa got A Grand Army.

....dat's why you no liken us, mesa tinks.

This is the Penguin edition of Shelley, 

which was edited by a very fine lady of letters, 

a very nice Tory lady called Isabel Quigley. 

She says in her introduction that 

“No Poet better repays cutting [laughter]. 

No great poet was ever less worth reading 

in his entirety than Shelley.”

George Lucas Responding To Prequel Haters

Q. : How worried are you --

that The Critics 

are not going to Like! 

this new movie....?

A. : Not worried at all -- they haven't liked any of them, really.... 

And they especially haven't liked the last two, so.... It can't get any worse.

“….and what that came out of was…

….there is a group of “fans”, of the films - 

That Don’t LIKE Comic Sidekicks.

They Like the films to be tough, and like Terminator, and y’know, be real Guy Movies —

And they get  very, very upset  — and very opinionated — about anything that has anything to do with being Childlike — and 

The Movies are for CHILDREN, 

but they don’t want to admit that — 

Or, they don’t want to have Comic Sidekicks in these movies.

…..and in the first movie, they 

absolutely HATED Artoo and Threepio.

Now, Jar-Jar’s getting accused of the same thing.”

— George Lucas
