Thine Own Self (1994)


Lt. Commander Data: Where is your mother?

Gia: She died about a year ago. Father said she... she went to a beautiful place... where everything is peaceful, and everyone loves each other, and no one ever gets sick. Do you think there's really a place like that?

[Data looks out the window to the moon]

Lt. Commander Data: Yes... I do.

"Thine Own Self"


TALUR
Hmmmm. Remarkable set of teeth... no sign of decay... (sniffs) Breath smells like... (puzzled) Well, it doesn't have any smell, actually.

She leans back and considers him for a moment.

TALUR
(continuing) You can close your mouth.

Data closes his mouth and Talur puts on an alien stethoscope and uses it to listen to Data's chest.

TALUR
(continuing) Heartbeat sounds a little odd... but seems regular.

She pulls back and feels his face.

TALUR
(continuing) Skin is... clammy. But you say you feel fine?

DATA
That is correct.

TALUR
No headaches... palpitations... sluggishness... indigestion...

DATA
No. However, I cannot have indigestion since I have not eaten.

TALUR
When was your last meal?

DATA
I do not know.

TALUR
Ah. Malnutrition. You should try to eat something that will build strength and return your vitality

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION

"Thine Own Self"


GARVIN
Your eyes and skin look so... strange. And your clothes... you look like you've been in some kind of accident.

DATA
I do not remember being in an accident. (beat) But then, I do not remember very much at all.

GARVIN
What do you remember?

DATA
I walked here... from the mountains.

STAR TREK: "Thine Own Self" 11/30/93 - ACT ONE 9.

5 CONTINUED: (3)

GARVIN
(amazed) The mountains? The mountains are over two hundred seltons from here.

DATA
I do have a clear memory of my journey. It began on a steep path in the mountains... near a large waterfall with two jagged promontories.

GARVIN
There are several large waterfalls up in those mountains... (beat) What do you remember before that?

DATA
I have no prior memories.

Garvin looks at him for another moment... then the container in Data's hand catches his attention.

GARVIN
(re: container) Do you know what that is?

Data looks down in surprise as if noticing it for the first time.

DATA
No.

GARVIN
(reaching out for it) May I?

Data looks at him for a moment.

GARVIN
(continuing) May I have it?

DATA
(understanding) Yes.

Data hands it to him and Garvin sets it on a nearby table.

STAR TREK: "Thine Own Self" 11/30/93 - ACT ONE 10.

5 CONTINUED: (4)

GARVIN
There might be something in here that can tell us who you are.

Garvin bends down and examines the container for a moment.

6 CLOSE ON CONTAINER

On the lid of the container, there is a Starfleet logo and 24th century radiation symbol. It is also clearly marked "RADIOACTIVE."


GARVIN
I wonder what these markings mean...

DATA
(reading) "Radioactive."

GARVIN
What?

DATA
That is what is written on the container.

GARVIN
You can read this language?

DATA
Evidently.

GARVIN
Radioactive... what does that mean?

DATA
I do not know. Perhaps it is my name.

Chief Wiggum (releases dogs to search for Milhouse): "Okay, we can all stop worrying now, these dogs never fail."
Milhouse's Dad: "But...will they just find Milhouse, or will they find him and kill him?"
Chief Wiggum: "Well, they'll... when they find him, they'll... um, um..." [mumbles incoherently]
Milhouse's Dad: "Uh, excuse me, you didn't answer me, you just trailed off."
Chief Wiggum: "Yeah...yeah, I did kind of trail off, there, didn't I?"
Bart: "Yo, Dr. S, have you seen Milhouse today?"
Dr. S: "No."
Bart: "Okay, thanks."
Dr. S: "Wait! Did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it."
Bart: "I will."
Dr. S: "No, you won't."
