Telling

Star Trek: Picard - Picard & Data play alittle poker...

Picard :

See. And... raise.

Data’s Ghost :

Hmm.

Picard :

Call.

Data’s Ghost :

I will take two, please.

Picard :

You have A Tell.

Data’s Ghost : (head-tilt)

….That is impossible, sir.

Picard :

Every now and then, you 

dilate your left pupil -- 

ostentatiously, I might add -- 

in an effort to cheat me 

into thinking that 

you have A Tell.

But your true Tell is 

you don't have one.

When your eyes are neutral, 

that's when I know 

you're bluffing.

Data’s Ghost :

Mm. Now that you've 

told me that, Captain, 

I am confused about which 

deception to employ — Fifty.

Picard :

Fifty? That's everything I have.

Data’s Ghost :

I can see that, Captain.

Do you wish to call or fold?

Picard :

Let's behave like 

civilised men. Milk?

Data’s Ghost :

No, thank you, sir.

Picard :

Sugar?

Data’s Ghost :

No, thank you, sir.

Why are you stalling, Captain?

Picard :

I don't want The Game to end.

I'm all in.

….Strange.

I didn't know we were 

on course to Mars.

……This isn't right.
