" RIKER has cleared a space on his desk and set up a\n"
" little work station. He has a bowl and several\n"
" strange-looking eggs. Some smaller containers with\n"
" other ingredients and condiments for what appears to\n"
" be an omelet. He breaks the last egg into the bowl\n"
" and whips them with a jerry-rigged whisk. He is\n"
" obviously enjoying himself. The CHIME SOUNDS.\n\n"
" RIKER\n"
" Come in.\n\n"
" The door opens; it's DATA and GEORDI carrying what look\n"
" like a homemade Bunsen burner and a frying pan.\n\n"
" RIKER\n"
" (continuing)\n"
" Excellent. Exactly what I need.\n\n"
" Before the door closes, PULASKI appears, carrying\n"
" something.\n\n"

" This is not an efficient method\n"

" RIKER\n"
" You're right, Data. The ship's\n"
" computer is much more efficient,\n"
" but it lacks the subtlety needed\n"
" for great cooking. It mixes the\n"
" ingredients to precise\n"
" measurements. There's no flair,\n"
" no individuality, and Data, as\n"
" we both know... inspiration and\n"
" flair are the difference between\n"
" artistry and mere competence.\n\n"
" PULASKI\n"
" For much of the history of\n"
