Picard: Lt Shumway, you have the ship. Riker: See you in the morning Captain. Worf: Goodnight. ALF: Do I have to wear this dumb Officer Of the Deck armband? Picard: Yes. Goodnight. Officer of the Decks's Log Stardate 4363.141592... Once more I am OOD, but if anything happens I am supposed to wake up the Captain, they remeber how I crashed into a garage in the late 20th century and was stranded on that planet for what seemed like eternity, so they do not want me to make any decisions. My JOOD, Master Chief Gilligan is sitting in the XO's seat and the only living female Melmackian of my age is sitting in Troi's seat. The night bartender, Sam has reported some trouble in Ten Forward so I dispatched Gilligan to investigate. (Commercial Break) (Ten Forward) Everbody: Norm. Fraiser: It it still raining? Norm: Pour. Fraiser: You mean it is pouring? Norm: No I was telling Sam to pour. Cliff: Hey is that kid, Gilligan going to be here tonight, I've been meaning to tell him why he will never be more than 22 yrs old. Sam: Not if you keep boring him. [Gilligan walks in with his JOOD armband etc.] Sam: Attention on Deck. [Everyone snaps to attention except Norm who goes on drinking his beer] Gilligan: Carry on. Sam: You got to follow C+C Norm, I mean what if Captain Picard comes in some night? Norm: That depends, will he buy me a beer? [Gilligan sits down at the bar by Norm] Sam: Want a beer Gilligan. Gilligan: I don't know, I am on duty... Sam: Don't worry, the CMAAs is asleep in the MAA shack. Gilligan: Well in that case, alright. Norm, what exactly do you do in Starfleet anyway? Norm: Oh, I, uh well, I paint the bulkheads. Gilligan: But the bulkheads aren't painted! Norm: See why they need me. Gilligan: Come on, seriously, I've never even seen you in uniform. Norm: Well the truth is that I am a stowaway. When the price of beer went up again on Earth I snuck onto a Starfleet shuttle and, then onto the Enterprise. Gilligan: How long ago? Norm: Three years. Intercom: Dr. Fraiser, report to the bridge. [Bridge] [Fraiser enters, walks up to the OOD and salutes] Fraiser: Lt. Fraiser reporting sir. ALF: At ease Lt. Could you figure out what her problem is? [Points to other Melmackian] [Engineering] [Doc from Back to the Future and Michael J Fox are sitting in the chairs] Doc: Hmm if I just adjust this... Fox: Doc, we're just supposed to do what we were trained for, I mean you're an ensign and I'm PO3, let the Lt Cmd's mess with things. Doc: Are you being insubordinate Petty Officer? Fox: No sir. Doc: Good. Now set the date there to 1955... [Bridge] Computer: A time effect has occured we are now in 1955. Alf: No problem. Computer wake up Captain Picard and Geordie.
