Wil Wheaton credited as playing...
Wesley Crusher
- [Wesley has missed his lift to Starfleet Academy and therefore has to stay on the Enterprise]
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I'm just thinking that... I'm saying goodbye to you, as you are today.
- Wesley Crusher: But I thought you said I wasn't going to be able to go.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: The Academy must make you wait, that's true; but... when I review your service to this ship, your crewmates, I cannot in all conscience make *you* wait for the Academy. You see, Wesley... in my eyes, you're an acting ensign in title only. I hereby grant you field promotion to full ensign with all the commensurate responsibilities and privileges of that rank. Congratulations.
