Every time that happens, I picture some poor ensign who desperately needs to get somewhere just waiting by the turbolift as Deanna and Picard have a heart-to-heart for 5 minutes.
There was on the original Enterprise. The idea was that the doors to them would automatically open if there was a failure to the turbolift system and would otherwise be closed.
I forgot about that line. The one time someone complains. How often did Picard have to wait for a turbolift because, say, Riker and Geordi are having a conversation in one?
Aldebaran's great, okay,
Algol's pretty neat,
Betelgeuse's pretty girls
Will knock you off your feet.
They'll do anything you like
Real fast and then real slow,
But if you have to take me apart to get me there
Then I don't want to go.
Singing,
Take me apart, take me apart,
What a way to roam
And if you have to take me apart to get me there
I'd rather stay at home.
Sirius is paved with gold
So I've heard it said
By nuts who then go on to say
"See Tau before you're dead."
I'll gladly take the high road
Or even take the low,
But if you have to take me apart to get me there
Then I, for one, won't go.
Singing,
Take me apart, take me apart,
You must be off your head,
And if you try to take me apart to get me there
I'll stay right here in bed
