There Are Four Lights

[SteamVault]

Best episodes EVER

[5tinkfist]

Gotta love the Picard

[aspringNY]

No need to yell sheesh..

[Danie855]

@NickoRules17 ... its pyscholigical, its a degree of torture for a torturer trying to empose their views on someone to a degree to coerce someone else into their own views to coerce information out of the one being tortured, even though theirs 4 lights, he used the lights as a mean of degredation to strip him of his views of values like the book 1984, the torturer would ask him how many fingers he had up to denegrate a persons sense of worth and eventually was trying to corrupt his values

[Flygonite]

Room 101?

[JackWProductions]

THERE... ARE... SIX... DISLIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pirloman]

who would have thought that a Frenchman will endure so much for his nation/federation?

[NickoRules17]

why is he asking how many lights there are?

[pirloman]

@NickoRules17 the KimKardashian was telling him there are 3 lights behind him (but there were 4 obviously). whenever Piccard said that there were 4 the cardassian gave him a shock with el. device near the hear.... i forgot the whole plot of the episode though... seen it some 20 years ago :)))

[NickoRules17]

@pirloman im pretty sure he said there were 5 lights but there were 4

yeah im just watching all the star trek episode by episodes and well i was confused XD

[pirloman]

@NickoRules17 I believe you... as i said.. i've seen this years ago...

or the cardassian convinced me as well :)

[MrBlueGothic]

Yeah, Picard beats Chancellor Gorkon!

[darthnarodnik]

At one stage he also given the choice to leave but he sticks around for more to protect Dr Crusher.

[darthnarodnik]

There is absolutely no doubt .Picard is greater than James T to the nth degree.

[MrImastinker]

This scene is why Picard is better than Kirk.

[Baksi518]

There... are... four... dislikes!

[Remolay]

@Baksi518 No, there are 5 dislikes.

[FrisianDude]

@Remolay No, this is Patrick.

[95Tezza95]

@Baksi518 your comment is now invalid

[RedneckYachtClubber]

Clearly Kardassians take offense to anything that is below 5 lights...

[primakr0n]

@RedneckYachtClubber lol

[johnnyr25]

Picard>Kirk

[tyciol]

I hope everyone knows this is a 1984 tribute.

[Muad420]

@tyciol Ohh.. I never even thought that. You're right.

[IJUSTLOVETURTLES]

0:46

Pimp walk of justice and freedom, no pants required.

[HomerSETH9]

what a nigger. im a cutis aborg YOU ARE BORG

[HarPlayer]

thats acting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )

[Carboose957naptime]

THIS IS SPARTA - quiet you, this is how you do it..... THERE ARE..... FOUR LIGHTS.... bitch

[HunterKiller55]

Picard was a bad ass. This is one of the best scenes in the entire series.

[dapenguin2]

0:46

"Buh!"

[LouisLambert]

Raito

[mahdogzbite]

From 0:42 Picard was gangsta as shit!!!

Giving Madred a look like "You ain't nuthin but shit, yah ugly punk-bitch!" as he starts walking out... he was even like "Get the fuck off 'ah me!" to the guards.

[SwordsmanMercenary]

It's a fake!

[jros83]

DARMOK AND JALAD AT oh I'm sorry I'm in the wrong place.

[eltonxxmaniac]

0:35 it's at this time :P

[Mastermind8908]

*Cheers on Picard with Vuvuzela fanfair*

[SomeBlokeLol]

I like the part where he says "Urrgh" when those Star Wars nerds try and grab him. It's just so pathetically hilarious. It's around 0:46 I think

[redhunter117]

Winston... how many fingers do you see?

[AgitpropMedia]

But what really disturbs him is that, for just a moment, he thought he could see five lights.

[kenwynejack]

Tell me how many lights you see.

[Crust218]

FOUR LIGHTSSSS(whistling)SSSS!

[valdes1978]

Love it. I'm going to say it to my boss next time I have a review and he tries to convince me why I don't deserver to earn more. :)

[MichelSainteClaire]

"THERE...ARE...FOUR...LIGHTS"

"NO! NOOOOOOO!!!"

"They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far and no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!"

Hell Yeah, I love his passion.

[CaptnStarbring]

See, the Cardassians use "advanced interrogation", its a perfectly fine way to treat people...

[joecollinsx]

one of my favorite TNG moments ever

[Gavannon]

Picard should just never wear pants. Period.

[sondano]

@Gavannon or anything for that matter :)

[LunicInformer]

@Gavannon hehehehhe LOL what make's u say that man LOL hahaha

[primakr0n]

@Gavannon lol

[darthnarodnik]

@Gavannon Maybe he should dispense with the whole uniform. LOL!

[legodude32123121]

there are!...um...1...2...3... oh 4 lights!

[azza1mazza]

he wants him to say 5 lights for some reason

[awanshura]

Its a reference to the book 1984, I believe. Its a test to break someone's will so much that they will believe anything you say even when its obviously not true. I think Picard even says that near the end he DID in fact start seeing five lights.

[overlordUsuck]

damn right!

[piplupsingularity]

DARE R FORE LITES!

[black2much]

U can tell by his face he saw 5 lights

[AriesTRam]

He does say that at the end to Counselor Troi.

[AriesTRam]

And it's inspired by Winston Smith's interrogation in George Orwell's "1984."

[cassandra5322]

i was thinking the EXACT thing

[milkmanv1]

THIS IS! SPACE! THE FINAL FRONTIER!

[cassandra5322]

omg you so funny i died!

[drumstyx6464]

i must be missing some context, cause i see no lights

[mythrilmoth]

@drumstyx6464

It'd help if the clip uploader hadn't cut a huge chunk out of the middle of the clip, too...

[FrakkinToasterLuvva]

Yes, and editing out the middle of the clip, and the ending to the episode, completely changes the story and gives the wrong idea.

Picard only shouted "THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!" after the guards told Madred that Picard is to be released. And in the last scene, he admits to Deanna that he had been, at that point, after his long torture, ready to tell anything - and even to believe it himself.

[dreamdewil]

imho one of the best episodes, even though it's ripped directly from 1984.

[greanbean2et]

THERE ARE FOAR LIGHTS!

[aceduck1981]

I used to have a mental battle over who was the best captain, Kirk or Picard, and this scene SO pushed it in favor of Picard.

[Shnap1337]

"There...are...four...lights!"

*walks away*

"Don't touch me!"

[dreamingWisdom]

Can't really get it outside of context. :v

[dathaniel]

So true. Only after you've watched both parts, do you realize how powerful this scene really is.

[celerytime]

nobody breaks Picard

[hhhxxxhhh]

NOBODYYY!!!!!

[ThePitofSidLord]

I couldn't stop laughing when he shakes of the guards hands at the end

'BWAH!'

[aguyits]

I need a gif for this

[andytylerh]

love that episode!

[Todd8Todd8Todd]

I remember seeing this on Spike and screaming, "Yeah motherfucker!" after Picard shouted that.

[nearfantastica]

Same!

[jeffhardywii]

@Todd8Todd8Todd

picard is fucking G!

[mattmanganon]

yes there are, well done.

[lamtsite]

This clip only works if you have seen what goes before.

[Xalenda]

If you ever see this is episode, it is demanded of you that you yell that "There....Are...FOUR....Lights­!" at the appropriate time.

[LTDANMAN44]

epic scene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[23v0lv32]

absolutley brilliant acting here.

[pjdr]

well picard sure set him straight

[Arkhimec]

Da sind vier lichter

[Boulettetom]

The must episode from TNG

[windheavenX]

waht episode was this!!!!!! i watched this long time ago..

[lamtsite]

How about learning to read? He writes that episode it is from at the top of the page.

[thespurginator]

my my, that's quite a temper.

[cheebalover]

epic

[mccheeseburger01]

.... i dont get it.....

anyone want to explain?

[Gamingtrevor]

After Piccard gets into his Jammie-jams, and was told to go to bed, he was asked how many nightlights there are in his bedroom. He then throws a tantrum.

[doford]

Unfortunately you can't be told what it means.

[kuribo1]

if it has to be explained to you, then you will never understand it....good luck though.

[wnagle11]

hmmmmmmmmmm, four lights.....reminds me of 1984 when o'brien asks winston how many fingers he's holding up (four) but he says that the party says its five

[Eowynnofrohan]

Yes, I wonder if that's where they got the idea from. 'btw just finished watching that movie.

[Xrulas]

way to go PICARD/locutus loved that scene !

i just want to say :

"Darmok and Jalad at Tenagra". "Uzani, his army with fists open". "Shaka, when the walls fell". "Ri and Jiri at Lunga. Ri of Luwani, Luwani under two moons. Jiri, of Umbaya. Umbaya of crossed roads, at Lunga. Lunga, her sky grey". jeje xrulasekisx

[Dabednego]

I am not a racist.

I believe slavery is wrong.

I think all racial slurs should be removed from our vocabulary.

BUT...

Anyone grown man who doesn't understand the etymology of a term you should learn in 8th grade science DESERVES to pick cotton for a living

[skylights76]

You mean, "Any grown man..."

Glass houses and all that.

[Tranchera]

Haa-haa, yoooo-u called meee Picaaard!

[Todd8Todd8Todd]

I only really started watching Star Trek when they started rerunning it on Spike, and this episode is the main reason I kept watching it. (yeah I still do lol)

THERE

ARE

FOUR

LIGHTS!

[MaxAgond]

Best star trek moment ever! im glad other people recognized this. It seems no one around here ever understands me when i yell out "there..are..four..LIGHTS!"

[clevelandgolf]

Lol...I know what you mean. When I'm pissed off I usually yell out "there are...four lights!!"...usually get blank stares.

[wickedfeylady]

I AM BEOWULF

[timefilm]

man, i still yell this in drunken circles

[moses363]

The emperor's new clothes.

Oldschool nerds posted this over and over on *chan because they worship Picard and its the most epic scene on the show. Newfags misinterpret but keep posting it anyway and pretend they find it hilarious even though they really don't know why.

[deathcloud33]

what

[1337soldiahs]

"How many lights do you see?"

"Lights? ...

This Is Sparta!"

(i'm gonna put a 300 audio on this scene... ^_^)

[unforgiventeen]

[Sausagedesigner]

Funny scene.  Day! aw! fow! lawtz!

[onewaylife4all]

[MadokaOrange]

[rcp901]

That line gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it

[trollmessias1]

[BNPBloke]

Picard PWNED Madred in the end.

[realityglitch]

Don't you just hate it when you get drunk and yell this and one no one gets the refrence. Anyone...no one...just me...okay then...

[JamesABaldwin]

Fucking totally!

[LoganFruz]

haha, I really want to drink with you.

[NormanBatesIsMyMum]

lmao must try that

[issu999]

[KilljoyPictures]

[emporerx]

[guardiane]

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAAHHH OMG HHHAAHAHAAHAH this was one of the best episodes! So frigin funny!

[Thermactor]

You cut out the middle!

[Bryndza]

Yes, my favorite line from Picard. This is such a good episode(s).

[gagman385]

This is, by far, the best line of TNG.
