"Five card stud, nothing wild, the skies the limit."
Picard - Last line of dialog on Star Trek: The Next Generation--
The very last line from the Next Generation series. On several occasions throughout its long run there were scenes where the senior staff would play poker. Consistently absent from these games was Captain Picard. As the final episode drew to a close Picard made his way into the room where the Officers were about to deal the cards. Not sure if he was welcome, he nervously asked if he might join in. They respectfully offer the cards to Picard to deal and he settles in for a good game, not without one of those famous "when I was a boy" stories. Then, during a very tasteful rotating overhead boom shot Picard says this last line.
