This is Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise

(bosun whistle)
JL: This is Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Data: Captain, we are being hailed.
JL: Yes, I know that Data.  But what could it be?
Riker: A phone call?
Data: Unknown, sir.  Perhaps it is scanning us.
Worf: But is it alive?
JL: It is a life form, and it has intelligence. 
Riker: How do you know, sir?
JL: It's trying to communicate with us.
Q: Oh!  How touching!
Worf: Quite stimulating, wouldn't you say?
Data: Indubitably.
JL: What does that mean?
Worf: I was just being polite, sir.
JL: Lieutenant Yar, hailing frequencies.
Yar: Hailing frequencies open, sir.
