Negotiation, Picard style

[Thesterness]

Yet another example of how Picard = badass.

[Violent2aShadow]

"Thank you for hailing the Enterprise. Your hail is very important to us. Unfortunately, all Starfleet personnel are busy exploring the final frontier at this time. Please continue to hold or hail back in a latter episode."

[reachforacreech]

take a picture trix, im on a ship bitch!

[brownblair98]

I love the part when Picard runs his finger across the dedication plaque. So simple,yet so badass.

[kkriegg]

"...and that, Wesley, is why I've never paid a goddamn parking ticket in my life. Engage!"

[TheRantingCabbie]

I was looking at something off to the right. What did he say.

[Wimpoman]

"Hail the Enterprise again."

"Sir, we're receiving an automated audio message in response."

"On speakers."

*Thank you for waiting, you're call is important to us and will be answered shortly, please continue to hold.*

[kensei85]

@Wimpoman lol and the background song is Cher - Do You Believe

[erbemitderkerbe]

its funny that its just like a ringing phone

[starbaselancaster]

Worf: "They are hailing us."

Picard: "Put them on hold with the 'elevator music' playing in the back round."

[CelticVictory]

I liked the Sheliak.

[roguelead72]

You have reached the USS Enterprise for English press 1

Klingon press 2

Ferengi press 3

[Yukondano2]

@roguelead72

Romulans can piss off.

[pimpnhard101]

@Yukondano2 You dont talk about the romulans! you dont say SHIT ABOUT THE ROMULANS! Romulans would own the living shit out of the Pansy ass federation ships any day.. they're lucky the Klingons became theyre friend.. the federation is like the weak kid back in school that would let you borrow anything you wanted to be your friend.. the romulans would just take what they want.. theyre glactic honey badgers man.. Romulans dont care.. Romulans dont give a shit !.. they just take... what they want.

[Idazmi7]

@pimpnhard101 Except the Enterprise pwned one with a torpedo.

Romulan Warbird + Photon Torpedo = microparticles.

[talltom1973]

The rest of the scene was pretty funny to, LaForge informs the captain that they can enhance the transporters. He goes on to say it will take 15 years and a research team of 100.

[Atomsk648]

Like...a...BOSSSSSSSSS

[WorldSacred]

Worf: Captain, they are hailing us.

Picard: *doot-doots the music from the circus*

Worf: Sir?

Picard: *continues nah-nahhing the second verse of the music from the circus*

[mrteemumilto]

Do you people understand that this rhetoric is never officially admitted and its existence is always denied?

[desireeT01]

Now THAT is how to get it done...

[wjrodri]

Captain Picard is unavailable right now. Would you care to hold?

[thefinalfrontier1701]

"The best diplomacy I know is a fully charged phaser bank." -Mr. Scott

[horaciosi]

Negotiation, Janeway style: Fire

[GangsterHutterite]

Wipe the plaque with middle finger.

No dust.

SWAG!

[Al1983sh]

is he holding an iphone?

[clinicalpsychologist]

@Al1983sh, iPhone 7

[venusbrain]

The Enterprise needs a new ringtone.

[Amar7605]

The "Grizzellas" are hibernating. LOL!!!

[MrFabioop]

Best captain of Enterprise

[lordzahgurim]

From 1:08 on, Riker is loving every second of it, Troi has an 'oh shit' look. lmao

[SSJZTrunks91]

Anyone notice when Picard brushed off the plaque, he used his middle finger?

[CabhanListis]

The next day the Sheliak returned from the Shelia star system with a rescission to sub-section D-3 of paragraph 1,290, and a revision making arbitration by unavailable parties henceforth proscribed... once the Sheliak discovered ancient Earth's history of ex post facto laws.

[AliTubelog]

they'll have to call again hes not dressed properly

[FrumpyShakes]

"Sorry I don't take orders from gloopy zombie balls, k thnx buh bye."

[tsabbad]

Negotiation, LIKE A BOSS.

[MorganOfTheAncients]

Now that's how you negotiate.

[Tiwaking]

Ahh the Sheliak. Not a race I would annoy on a daily basis.

[huhupeterhuhu]

Troi looks awoesme in the bakeround =)

[pierreo33]

@huhupeterhuhu she certainly was a distraction

[FantomOmega]

If this was Capt Kirk (the old one) there wouldn't be a SHIP left to Negotiate with!

[TonixTech]

@FantomOmega If Capt Kirk (the new one) tried, the Federation would be morning the loss of their flagship.

[sethsoverlord]

@TonixTech that or they would be reporting on a war between the Federation and the Sheliak

[TiaraAlonso]

YOU SEE!!! They have Amazon Kindles in the future too.

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

arbitration granted

/watch?v=AI8NuFAETMQ

[khatmandu89]

Ladyboner



[Sillygoose14111]

Pwned. 

[pw8987]

I spy seven Sheliak in the ranks!

[ryank8843]

IN YO FACE, glowy blanket monster!

[Cattis4]

Oooo hot situation ;)

[sajakram1]

but your the PICARD..... [ WHO WATCHES THE WATCHERS]  its the PICARD.......

[bobbyewing311]

I think Data's negotiations in this episode was way better. Let's just modify my phaser and blow up the aqueduct these colonists were willing to go to war and sacrifice their lives over, thus eliminating any reason they had to stay lol.

[gracefulblades001]

Worf: "Captain, *they* are hailing *us*."

Picard: "Tell them I'm busy washing my hair and I'll call them back later."

[yoshana87]

@gracefulblades001 I read this comment first before I finished watching Picard talk, and I was waiting for him to say it...lol

[gracefulblades001]

@yoshana87 Sorry to disappoint. Maybe I should have been a script writer for TNG?

[LTDANMAN44]

he commands the screen so freaking well. please make another movie just one more please

[JBTHREAT]

Who's the starship captain that makes all the chicks say engage...'PICARD!!' You Damn Right!!

[UserXer0]

cool

[imboden2]

keep hitting 5.

[Kazuo1G]

Commander Riker's smile after Picard cuts them off and just before he answers makes it all the better. :D

[marcus4761]

damn he's good!

[awesomedude1133]

I love Riker's "I see what you're doing here...." smile in the background as Picard is pacing around.

[Gedal]

Picard is better than Kirk. Picard is strong but with a brain and cool like a good english ...or french? Anyway, Picard rules!

[94GuitarLord]

Remember kids if you try to fuck with Picard your screwed

[NATESOR]

IS THAT AN iPad?!!!!

[retsilagnilooc]

@NATESOR Kinda. The props designers on Star Trek designed something that looks like an iPad and, in effect, does the same things. The iPad designers are proper geeks and love Star Trek, so they emulate the things they love - such as the Star Trek PADD. Because the show had them, we have them.

[LoneDragoon90]

@retsilagnilooc Kind of like the TOS communicators spawning mobile phones.

[retsilagnilooc]

@LoneDragoon90 precisely - there are lots of things that are discussed and created in Star Trek that have since become common place or explored theory.

[kxmode]

Did he say the Grizzleyians? Bear aliens?

[CNash85]

@kxmode I think that's the inference, given that they have a "hibernation cycle"...

[BWS891]

*applauds* reason one of the many reasons he's my fave captain

[User5973]

He's lucky the Sheliac have integrity and adhere to their treaties. Something tells me that Sheliac Cruiser would fck the Enterprise up in a battle.

[kex926]

I just watched this episode and laughed my ass off when I got here. Best. Episode. Ever :D

[nince021]

Fuck I'm old - I'm watching this thinking "it must take ages to vacuum the enterprise. The whole thing is carpeted! "

[BWS891]

@nince021 whoa...sucks to be their cleaning lady

[MrOfferp]

I love Riker's facial features in this scene

[RyanSellman1]

Proof that HEPA filtration works: No dust on the plaque.

[flowertrue]

anyone ever notice how Troi's body looks exactly like a Barbie doll?

[PolarHailStorm]

I love how Troi looks mortified at Picard's attitude all the way through that, yet Riker has the smug grin. I could not be on that bridge without laughing.

[bamahacker01]

I love how starfleet presumes, that after not responding to their hails for about 3 seconds, they are ignored, but the species(whoever were hailing picard) were constantly sending the hail signal for more than a minute xD

[holodock]

Worf: "Captain they are hailing us"...

Picard goes with his middle "fuck them" finger over the ships plaque...

[Nerresand]

Those aliens are a lot more patient than the Federation usually is. "Hail th-" "No response."

[Herbarius]

@Nerresand Yeah. Most of the time they declare there's "no response" immediately after that "hail going out" chime finished sounding...

[Cyproduction]

When Worf said "Captain, they are hailing us" I expected the legendary face palm. After that:

"WHAT PART OF WHAT I SAID DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ASSHOLE?!"

[EclairPerversePastry]

swag.

[7and7upJack]

Riker: "You enjoyed that."

Picard: "You're damn right"

[davenielsen78]

@7and7upJack Picard's such a nerd.

[Mropticalgreen]

@7and7upJack is that for the deaf people?

[7and7upJack]

@Mropticalgreen No. Thought it was a cool quote.

[OboeBassoon444]

This is one of my favourite episodes.

PICARD IS THE SNOOP-DOG OF INTERGALACTIC NEGOTIATION.

[andwhatfire]

so the Enterprise encounters a race of extra-galactic lawers?

[Kazuo1G]

@andwhatfire Great. Now they know Earth's location. Well... Time to get my towel and stick out my thumb...

[LoneDragoon90]

@Kazuo1G Also, stick this fish in your ear...

[Chaostos]

Picard is badass, but also Rikers joyful trollface adds to the moment :)

love ST

[keulan742]

One of my favorite scenes from TNG.

[ggulto2]

Picard.. the best fictional character ever created....

[hotbananapants]

IN YO FACE, glowy blanket monster!

[crosshairs001]

"...on screen."

I rofled.

[snackpeelskin]

I do remember this episode now. Thank you I was looking for its title.

[DamnYouPoland]

fuck yea.... no dust on the plague

[Alienubi]

Like a boss!

[SPQRImperator]

This is why I think Picard was the best captain...Not to take away from Kirk, though.

[izzyalistair]

I like how Riecher is back there with a shit eating grin on his face.

[randomface54]

And that is how Great Britain became the British Empire.

[SVPrelude]

Holding what we now call an iPad.... yet another great piece of technology thought out by the minds of Star Trek.

[TVperson1]

@SVPrelude A half-laptop with a touch screen was in Star trek?

[SVPrelude]

@TVperson1 Maybe not that one exactly. But there are others where its just the screen itself.

[Outragedjoker]

The best Patrick Stewart quote ever, by far (in my opinion) is "pardon me agent smith, would you happen to have any Gatorade? I seem to have left all of my electrolytes in your teenage daughter."

[6evorev6]

I did not like the writing in this scene, Pride comes before the fall

[AriRashkae]

Personally, I'm amused by Riker trying to keep a straight face in the background.

[pawneed5]

Best Captin EVER!!!

[BandDevilDogs]

Hey look an iPad...

[SVWillmer]

Kirk would have gotten into a firefight, picard did it with their tails wagging between their legs without firing a phaser

[FloatingOnAZephyr]

I'm sure Christopher Lloyd destroyed that ship in Star Trek 3 :)

[srtyeh]

Picard for PRESIDENT......

[EduardoTVideos]

Negotiation, Kirk style

"Fire everything."

[TheManowarcraft]

You enjoyed that..

YOU"RE DAMN RIGHT! Picard is awesome and always will be

[silvastomp]

LIKE A BOSS.

Picard is such a fucking BOSS!!

[Drfusebox]

Damn it! we need a TNG reeboot!

[masere]

@Drfusebox And just WHO do you propose to replace the great Sir Pat?????? He was born for this role - I can't imagine anyone else playing Picard.

[Drfusebox]

@masere CGI Mr. Masere. CGI.

It works wonders for starwars (clonewars).

Throw in some voice acting and ..Helm, Warp One Reboot!

[Maravone]

And not a single fuck was given that day in the Enterprise.

[Tyracks]

Seeing Picard check theh ship's plaque for dust I'm wondering whether the Enterprise needs dusting or hoovering?

[Bazrrrr]

For some reason I cant stop pressing the 7 key

[glaxko2]

That race is called the Sheliak. 

[imagestic]

1 dislike? James T. Kirk, get outta here!

[Slazors]

@imagestic

It was Janeway.

[TheJohnClaimesh]

0:18 Picard's iPad prediction anyone?

[imagestic]

Kirk would have beamed over to the other ship, kicked the aliens' asses, gotten his shirt ripped off, and screwed their bitches while getting drunk on Romulan Ale!

[1ownjoo2]

@imagestic

jajaja

[gmcclelland1992]

Kirk, would have fired phasers 10 minutes into the episode. So who is the better negotiator. I think Kirk, who cares if he starts an intergalactic war.

[Mhinx2268]

Kirk < Picard.

y? Picard has a British accent ;D

[Lengytam]

This is the way how to rape somebody with diplomacy. :)

[HarPlayer]

I would have liked to see more of them in the show and the Grazella's what was there race birds or something ( How long have they been around ? ) and the Grazella's what was there race. did they know the Borg? did they have the Weapons to defeat the Borg. So much could have be made more of the show if you add these 2 races

[eugene1]

Captain Picard knows how to COMMAND RESPECT!

[MobiusZX]

Piccard's Negotiations, the original Stone Cold Stunners

[EdwardElric193]

1:07 - 1:39

that easily has to be the closest I've seen Picard get to telling someone to fuck off in a conversation. for that he's a badass.

[Mercman97]

0:57 - You're damned right!

Picard for PM, or better yet, KING!!

[Trucifer]

look ate, go that little fucker is nasty oh hell whats that he just bit that things head off

[Mercman97]

@Trucifer What??

[SnippetStation]

@Trucifer No offence but that comment was sheer retardation.. and I don't mean because of the content.. It was plain and simple retardation.

[amahmudipur]

picard is like a honey badger. he doesn't give a shit. he takes what he wants when he wants!

[berkozoid]

Bad. Ass.

Picard is the shit.

[MrMegazuki]

Full of win as always. Picard rules.
