View source for We'll Always Have Paris (episode)

=== Story and script ===
* This episode was affected by the Writer's Guild strike of 1988, with the result that filming had to be shut down while the show's ending was written. (''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion]]'')
* Its title was a direct reference to the classic 1942 film {{wt|Casablanca (film)|Casablanca}}. (''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion]]'') Indeed, Riker recalls a bar on [[Sarona VIII]], and Picard recalls its name &ndash; the [[Blue Parrot Café]]. This is the name of Signor Ferrari's bar in ''Casablanca.''
* In the original draft of "We'll Always Have Paris", writers [[Deborah Dean Davis]] and [[Hannah Louise Shearer]] wanted to create a romantic mood with the insistence that Picard do "the wild thing" &ndash; discreetly, during commercial &ndash; some time in the course of the episode. The idea was vetoed by a number of men involved in the production &ndash; most notably [[Patrick Stewart]]. (''[[Trek: The Unauthorized Behind-The-Scenes Story of The Next Generation]]'')
