Captain: Captain's Log, Stardate blah-blah-blah. Although all of the bridge
crew except myself and Mr. Data are on vacation, it appears that we are in yet
another location where "No One Has Gone Before."
[ We hear familiar music, and see a classy fade-in ]
[ The Enterprise is floating in a giant bathtub ]
Stage Hand #1: Shoot! Quick! Bring the model to the Star Set!
Stage Hand #2: Aw, c'mon Al. Look at it float. Isn't it pretty?
Al: Do it NOW, or else.
Stage Hand #2: Or else WHAT?
Al: Or else THIS!
[ Al takes out a large club and bonks Stage Hand #2 into unconsciousness ]
Al: Now, lesse here. Where IS that set...
[ We see the Enterprise being carried to the Star Set and being placed down in
it. ]
Al: Ah.
[ Switch to the Bridge ]
Captain: What do sensors show, Mr. Data?
Data: Sensors show a small golden bubble, sir.
Captain: No, Mr. Data. I asked what the SENSORS show.
Data: That is what they show, sir.
Captain: I mean the SHIP'S SENSORS, you nitwit!
Data: Oh. Sorry sir. The ship's sensors show that is a region of very-
nearly-infinite-improbability.
Captain: Probable cause, Mr. Data?
Data: Well, sir, it is useless to try to apply probability to infinite
causes, since this violates a theorm of probability and statistics.
Captain: What does all that cool-sounding gibberish mean, Mr. Data?
Data: The probable cause is that the writers want something cool to happen,
so they put it there as a plot device.
Captain: Any chance of dealing with that plot device, Mr. Data?
Data: Only if the writers want us to, sir.
Captain [to self]: Oh no!
Data: Did you say something, sir?
Captain: Er---ummm---Nothing, Mr. Data. I said nothing.
Data: But I could swear I heard you say---
Captain: I said I said NOTHING, Mr. Data. *AHEM!*
Data: If you insist, sir.
Captain: Now, I think we should enter the golden bubble.
Data: Any reason, sir?
Captain: It says we do, right here in the script. See?
[ Captain points to line in script ]
Data: Certainly, sir. Entering the bubble at full impulse.
[ The Enterprise enters the golden bubble at full impulse. The Enterprise
disappears. ]
Captain: Where are we NOW, Mr. Data? There's only that pretty golden light
on the viewscreen.
Data: I do not know, sir.
Captain [to self]: Not again.
Data: I assume you said nothing again, right sir?
Captain: Of course.
Data: You certainly do say nothing a lot, sir.
Captain: And you are getting to be a royal pain in the ass.
Data: Sorry, sir.
[ The Enterprise starts moving through a rainbow-colored vortex, with many
various cool geometric, glowing shapes spinning around it ]
Captain: What's going on?
[ We see the Road Runner race past the Enterprise. He says "Meep! Meep!" and
disappears ]
Data: I have no idea, sir.
[ A large pink elephant flies by, and goes *SPLAT!* on the Enterprise's
hull. It breaks into pink marshmallow goo ]
Captain: Well look ahead in the script and find out!
[ We hear the Brady Bunch theme song, and see the familiar intro ]
Data: I lost the last page, sir.
[ Large Rubik's Cubes float by. They are throbbing and humming ]
Captain: I wish this would all just end.
[ Porky Pig appears and says "T-t-t-t-that's All Folks!" Suddenly, the golden
bubble disappears, and the Enterprise is in normal space again ]
Data: It appears the writers granted your wish, sir.
Captain: I don't think so.
Data: What do you mean, sir?
Captain: Something is coming out of nowhere.
Data: What 'something' and what 'nowhere' are you speaking of? Or are you
again saying 'nothing,' sir?
Captain: Over THERE, damnit!
[Captain points to a large White Shark (twice the size of the Enterprise) which
is following them. Hungry shark music starts playing ]
Data: Shall we try to enter it, sir?
Captain: NO! NO! NO!
Data: But it isn't real, sir?
Captain: But neither are we, Data.
Data: If I were human, I would be offended. In that case, what would you like
to do, sir?
Captain: GET US AWAY FROM THE DAMNED SHARK! Warp Factor Ooga-Booga!
Data: What course?
Captain: Anywhere that doesn't lead us near that thing!
Data: Course laid in, sir.
Captain: Engage.
[ We see the Enterprise start to speed up into the Warp Stars, but then slow
down. The shark is catching up ]
Captain: What happened?
Data: It appears, sir, that the shark is capable of damping the subspace
distortions which propel our interstellar capable ship through the space-time
continum at superluminal velocities.
Captain: Which means?
Data: We're stuck here.
Captain: You could have said that in the first place.
Data: I did, sir.
Captain: Oh. Whatever you say, Mr. Data. Whatever you say.
[ Captain looks at Mr. Data and smiles inanely. Then, he pats Mr. Data on the
head ]
Data: Why are you treating me this way, Captain?
Captain: No reason, Mr. Data.
Data: Oh---
[ Data looks offscreen at cue cards ]
Data: What are your orders now, Captain?
Captain: Er...um...I mean...That is...Well, I think that we should try to
communicate with the shark.
[ Shark music gets faster ]
Data: That may not be a good idea, Captain.
Captain: And why is that?
Data: The shark music just got faster. I think this means the shark will
eat us if we try.
Captain: Try anyways. Open a channel.
Data: Hailing frequencies open, sir.
Captain: This is the USS Enterprise, from the United Federation of Planets...
[ Shark music gets deeper and slower ]
Captain: We come in peace.
Data [to self]: I wish.
Captain [to Data]: You say something, Mr. Data?
Data: Oh, nothing, sir. The same nothing that you always say.
Captain: Oh. Ok.
[ The shark music gets faster. The shark starts circling the Enterprise ]
Captain [to self]: Damn!
Captain: Shields up! Go to Yellow Alert!
[ Shields raise and yellow alert starts flashing ]
Data: Now what, sir?
Captain: I DON'T KNOW! Why don't YOU try being the captain of a large
Starfleet vessel and see how it feels like?
Data: If you insist, sir. Computer, as per Captain Picard's request, I am
taking command of the Enterprise at 1234 hours.
Computer: Transfer of command complete.
Captain: No! No! No! It's MY ship! I want it back!
[ Captain starts crying and rolling around on floor of ship ]
Data: I am sorry, sir, but this is my ship now, and you cannot have it back.
You gave it to me.
Captain: Mine! Mine! Mine!
Data: Computer, re-establish the channel to the Shark.
Computer: Hailing Frequencies Open.
Data: Mr. Shark, I believe you are hungry. I shall now feed you, if you leave
the Enterprise alone. Agreed?
Shark: Agreed.
Data: Computer, close channel.
Data: Computer, lock transporters on former-captain Picard. Beam him near to
the Shark's coordinates.
Picard: No! Wait! I can be reason----
[ Picard disappears in the familiar beaming effect. We hear the shark music
get faster and faster, and see Picard being devoured. The shark disappears ]
Data: Captain's Log. Stardate blah-blah-blah plus a little. Although the
former captain Picard was immature, he did have his deepest wish---that he
be able to give his life to save his ship. I do believe that, if he were
alive, he would be grateful.
Picard's Voice: Don't bet on it. I'll be back. Trust me.
[ Manical laughter echos as the Enterprise disappears into Warp Stars ]

Quote of the Week: "People quote each other too much."
What am I? Heck, I dunno---if you have any ideas, bring them to me.
Storyline: He stood coolly, watching the lion crouched on top of the
sharp, pointed rocks. It seemed to glare at him. Then, it leaped forward...
