Finally, The Dread Pirate Picard decided something. He said, “Shut up, Wesley, I’ve never had a valet. You can try it for tonight. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” Three years he said that. “Shut up, Wesley. Good work. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” It was a fine time for me. I was learning engineering, flight control, anything anyone would teach me. And Picard and I eventually became friends.
