Q : ( As Throne Recedes ) Til we meet again, Jean-Luc...and we will meet again… you may count on that.

Picard : Then, is humanity's trial over?

Q : ( Laughs lightly ) Oh, Picard. Humanity's trial is never-ending.

Picard : ( Throws Up His Arms ) He's learned nothing! Seven Years and he's learned nothing.

Q : What did you just say?

( In a flash of light appears Crusher )

Crusher : I tried to warn you that we were dealing with a fundamentally inferior species, H! This one is the best of their sorry lot--and even he doesn't have a clue.

( Flash of light; Troi )

Troi : I move for eradication. Stop them now, before they break something.

Q : Excuse me! Just what the hell is going on here?

( He is ignored )

( Flash Of Light; Worf )

Worf : You Are Wrong---He has learned a great deal of humility. He has potential to grow. All the Q do.

Q : Please....No.

Riker : ( Appears ) H is correct, H. I say we move him on to the Delta Quadrant simulation. ( Smiles ) He might actually procreate.

Picard : As amusing as that would be to watch, H--I'm afraid his willingness to judge other sentient life renders all mercy a moot point. He learned nothing from the Bajor/Vash simulation.

Troi : He learned nothing when H gave him half his powers.

Q : Shoot me....Shoot Me Now!

Data : Please be quiet. He does not have to shoot you now. He will wait til we return to the H Universe.

Geordi : Terminating a whole race retroactively does seem a bit much. Hey? How about we have him redo the last seven years?

Troi : An educational infinite loop, only to be broken upon some broad realization. This is acceptable.

Picard : We shall make it so, then. Oh, Q?

Q : ( Weakly ) yes?

Picard : See you at Farpoint.

Q : Nooooooo............. ( Vanishes )

Riker : Excellent call, H.

Crusher : Indeed. Punishing but instructive.

Worf : It reminds me of when H and H took on the roles of 'Kirk' and 'Kor'.

Data : Ah, yes. If memory serves, the Metrons and The Organians were almost at war---again.

(We see 'Kirk' walk past with a parrot-sized King Ghidorah in a tight cage)

Geordi : H is so cruel to his pets.

Seven Years Prior..........

Q : Why Am I Dressed Up Like Colonel Flagg From MASH?

DEEP SPACE NINE

(Sisko appears before a group of befuddled energy shapes )

Sisko : ( Monotone ) : You Are The Prophets. The Prophets Build The Temple.

Prophet : Stop playing with our minds!

Dukat ( Walks Over casually to Sisko, we see red shapes behind him ) H?
You wanna trade? This bunch is just thick!
