Troi: "A very sensible people.  For example, Mintakan women precede their mates.
  It's a signal to other women."
Riker: "'This man is taken, get your own'?"
Troi: "Not precisely.  More like, 'If you want his services, I'm the one you
  have to negotiate with.'"

  determine what he wants."

Picard: "I neither desire your obedience, nor your worship."
--"Who Watches The Watchers", Stardate 43

--"Booby Trap", Stardate 43

Worf: "Admirable.  They died at their posts."
--"Booby Trap", Stardate 43

LaForge: "I just don't get it, Guinan.  I can field strip a fusion reactor.  I
  can realign a power transfer tunnel.  Why can't I make things work with a
  woman like Christy?  It's like...I don't know what to do.  I don't know what
  to say.
Guinan: "You're doing fine with me."
LaForge: "You're different."
Guinan: "No, you're different."
LaForge: "But I'm not trying now."
Guinan: "That's my point."
--"Booby Trap", Stardate 43

Beverly: "Lieutenant, I understand your feelings about the Romulans.  But this
  is not the time or the place."
Worf: "If you had seen them kill your parents, you would understand, Doctor, it
  is always the time and place for those feelings."
--"The Enemy", Stardate 43

Beverly: "This Romulan didn't murder your parents and you are the only one who
  can save his life."
Worf: "Then he will die."
--"The Enemy", Stardate 43

Tomalak: "Territories.  You would measure territories against a man's life?"
--"The Enemy", Stardate 43

Bochra: "And without [the VISOR], you can see nothing?"
LaForge: "That's right."
Bochra: "And your parents let you live?"
--"The Enemy", Stardate 43

Bochra: "If the situation were reversed, would you not die to avoid capture?"
LaForge: "I don't know, I might. If I thought it was necessary, if the stakes
  were high enough, but they'd have to be pretty damn high.  I guess I'd make a
  pretty lousy Romulan."
Bochra: "I no more wish to die than you do."
LaForge: "Bochra, there are times when it's necessary to die for one's ideals.
  Do you believe this is one of those times?"
--"The Enemy", Stardate 43

Picard: "For what it's worth, I understand your bitterness."
Worf: "With respect, sir, you cannot."
--"The Enemy", Stardate 43

Worf: "I am asked to give up the very lifeblood of my mother and my father to
Picard: "So you blame all Romulans for that?"
Worf: "Yes."
Picard: "Forever.  What if someday the Federation made peace with the Romulans?"
Worf: "Impossible."
Picard: "That's what your people said a few years ago, about humans.  Think how
  many died on both sides in that war.  Would you and I be here now like this?
  If we hadn't been able to let go of the anger and the blame.  Where does it
  end, Worf?  If that Romulan dies, does his family carry the bitterness another
  generation?"
Worf: "Then you believe I should."
Picard: "What I believe doesn't matter."
--"The Enemy", Stardate 43

Patahk: "Come close to me, Klingon, let me die with my hands at your throat."
Worf: "There is a substance within my cells which you need to survive."
Patahk: "Then you've come to make me beg for my life?"
Worf: "No."
Patahk: "I would rather die than pollute my body with Klingon filth."
--"The Enemy", Stardate 43

Picard: "Commander, both our ships are ready to fight.  We have two extremely
  powerful and destructive arsenals at our command.  Our next actions will have
  serious repercussions."
--"The Enemy", Stardate 43

Tomalak: "I assure you, I intend no deception."
Picard: "Of course not."
Tomalak: "You doubt my good faith?"
Picard: "Let's just say my faith would be strengthened by a gesture from you.
  Such as powering down your disruptors."
--"The Enemy", Stardate 43

Riker: "Close call."
Picard: "Too close, Number One.  Brinksmanship is a dangerous game."
--"The Enemy", Stardate 43

Troi: "God forbid I should miss my first look at the wormhole."
--"The Price", Stardate 43

Goss: "I am Daimon Goss.  And these are my counsels Kole and Doctor Arridor.
  We'll need chairs."
Picard: "I'm Captain Picard of the Enterprise.  I am serving as host for these
  proceedings."
Goss: "Good.  Then see to it we get some chairs."
Picard: "Let me explain."
Goss: "Fine, fine.  Just have your Klingon servant get us some chairs."
Worf: "I am in charge of security."
Goss: "then who gets the chairs?"
Picard: "Daimon, due to the delicate nature of these negotiations, all parties
  have agreed that one representative will suffice.  Now, I will be happy to
  provide your counsels with accommodations, and you may have my chair."
--"The Price", Stardate 43

Rai: "I never play the opening rounds anyway, inconsequential.  Besides, there
  are much better things to negotiate on this ship.  Like dinner tonight?"
Troi: "What about youyr travelling companion?"
Rai: "My travelling companion is...travelling.  I sent her home?"
Troi: "Why?"
Rai: "You know why."
--"The Price", Stardate 43

Mendoza: "You must play poker, Commander."
Riker: "Poker?  That a game of some sort?"
--"The Price", Stardate 43

Goss: "Doctor, you surprise me.  I have no wish to kill anyone.  A short term
  crippling will suffice."
--"The Price", Stardate 43

Rai: "Am I moving too fast for you?"
Troi: "No, I'm moving too fast for me."
Rai: "I like that better."
Troi: "I haven't been able to stop thinking about you all day."
Rai: "You must have had a nice day."
Troi: "Anticipation is fun."
--"The Price", Stardate 43

Riker: "A card game doesn't exactly prepare me for this."
Picard: "Yes, the stakes are higher, but then isn't that where the game gets
  interesting, Commander?"
--"The Price", Stardate 43

Rai: "I tucked my heart away, I didn't need it, I didn't want it.  At the
  negotiating table...it can be fatal to have a heart.  But I never realized how
  much I need mine until I looked at you."
--"The Price", Stardate 43

Beverly: "You're unusually limber this morning."
Troi: "I'll say.  Devinoni Rai.  It's ridiculous and wonderful.  I feel
  completely out of control.  Happy, terrified, but there's nothing rational
  about this."
Beverly: "Who needs rational when your toes curl up."
Troi: "I'm afraid I'm going to loose myself.  I can't get enough of him.
  Is it possible to fall in love in one day?"
Beverly: "I did."
Troi: "It was like this for you and Jack?"
Beverly: "No, it was another fellow.  I fell in love in day, it lasted a week.
  But what a week!  Then I met Jack.  Took months to figure it out with him."
Troi: "Well then, maybe I should slow down, catch my breath, not let this thing
  get out of control.
Beverly and Troi: "Nah."
--"The Price", Stardate 43

Riker: "Deanna is just the woman to bring some meaning to your sorry existence,
  if you're smart enough to take it.  I doubt you are."
--"The Price", Stardate 43

Worf: "Your ambushes would be more successful if you bathed more often."
--"The Vengeance Factor", Stardate 43

Yuta: "As the sovereign has no further need for my services this evening, she
  suggested I might spend some time with you."
Riker: "What a charming suggestion."
Yuta: "She...appreciates the...affection you show me."
Riker: "Was I that obvious?"
Yuta: "Yes."
--"The Vengeance Factor", Stardate 43

Riker: "Well, I've already dined.  Maybe you know a good Acamarian dessert
  recipe."
Yuta: "Does that not please you?  Tell me what you want, William, I will do
  anything you wish."
Riker: "Wait a minute."
Yuta: "I don't understand.  Don't you want me to give you pleasure?"
Riker: "Not as a servant.  I told you I prefer equals."
Yuta: "Even in the matters of love?"
Riker: "Especially in the matters of love."
--"The Vengeance Factor", Stardate 43

Yuta: "William, this is not your concern."
Riker: "It is now, you're about to commit a murder."
Yuta: "It isn't murder, it's justice."
--"The Vengeance Factor", Stardate 43

Riker: "Don't make me do this."
--"The Vengeance Factor", Stardate 43

Worf: "You are lucky this is not a Klingon ship.  We know how to deal with 
  spies."
--"The Defector", Stardate 43

Riker: "You find something amusing?"
Jarok: "Lieutenant Worf, I like him.  To be more accurate I understand him, the
  warrior...proud, fearless, living only for combat.  Exactly the type that will
  get us all killed if we're not careful."
--"The Defector", Stardate 43

Jarok: "Oh, what a fool I've been to come looking for courage in a lair of
  cowards."
--"The Defector", Stardate 43

Jarok: "One world's butcher is another world's hero.  Perhaps I am neither one."
--"The Defector", Stardate 43

Picard: "You've made your choices, sir!  You're a traitor!  Now, if the taste of
  that drink is unpalatable to you, I am truly sorry.  But I will not risk my
  ship because you think you can dance on the edge of the Neutral Zone."
--"The Defector", Stardate 43

Jarok: "I will never see my child smile again.  She will grow up believing that
  her father is a traitor, but she will grow up, if you act, Picard, if we stop
  this war before it begins.
--"The Defector", Stardate 43

Tomalak: "You see, Picard, after we dissect your Enterprise for every precious
  bit of information, I intend to display its broken hull in the center of the
  Romulan capitol as a symbol of our victory.  It will inspire our armies for
  generations to come.  And serve as a warning to any other traitor who would
  create ripples of disloyalty."
--"The Defector", Stardate 43

Tomalak: "I urge you, Captain Picard, surrender.  Consider the men and women you
  would lead into a lost cause."
Picard: "If the cause is just and honorable, they are prepared to give their
  lives.  Are you prepared to die today, Tomalak?"
--"The Defector", Stardate 43

Tomalak: "I expected more than an idle threat."
Picard: "Then you shall have it."
--"The Defector", Stardate 43

Tomalak: "You will still not survive our assault."
Picard: "And you will not survive ours.  Shall we die together?"
--"The Defector", Stardate 43

Picard: "'...it will be a black matter for the king who led them to it.'"
--"The Defector", Stardate 43

Data: "I am afraid the prisoner has eluded us."
Picard: "Eluded the Enterprise?"
--"The Hunted", Stardate 43

Troi: "Why do you have all this anger toward me?"
Danar: "A girl with long, dark hair broke my heart a long time ago.  Out of
  bitterness and resentment, I turned to crime."  [Laughs]  "How about this one?
  My mother abandoned me when I was a little boy.  I never got the guidance that
  a wild, young man needed."
--"The Hunted", Stardate 43

Picard: "'Matter of internal security', the age old cry of the oppressor."
--"The Hunted", Stardate 43

Worf: "Danar.  You are cunning.  You must have Klingon blood."
--"The Hunted", Stardate 43

Nayrok: "You were programmed to survive.  You can survive at the Luna V
  settlement."
Danar: "To survive is not enough!  To simply exist is not enough."
--"The Hunted", Stardate 43

Picard: "I have all the information I need for my report.  Your prisoner has
  been returned to you, and you have a decision to make...whether to try and
  force them back or welcome them home.  In your words, this is not our affair.
  We cannot interfere in the natural course of your society's development.  And
  I'd say it's going to develop significantly in the next few minutes."
--"The Hunted", Stardate 43

Picard: "Why her?"
Worf: "Sir, I believe she was the intended target of the abduction."
Riker: "Why would they want to take a Federation hostage?  Their fight doesn't
  involve us."
Worf: "It does now."
--"The High Ground", Stardate 43

Picard: "History has shown us that strength may be useless when faced with
  terrorism."
--"The High Ground", Stardate 43

Devos: "How do I combat an enemy who fails to register on my scanner, until
  they're literally standing in front of you, pointing a phaser at your head?"
--"The High Ground", Stardate 43

Riker: "You don't sound very optimistic."
Devos: "I know my enemy, Commander.  They don't leave much room for optimism."
--"The High Ground", Stardate 43

Finn: "What's the point of not eating?  You're the only one who's suffering.  Do
  I look like it's bothering me?  Okay, it's bothering me."
--"The High Ground", Stardate 43

Devos: "Believe it or not, I always considered myself a moderate."
Riker: "What changed your mind?"
Devos: "Being stationed here for six months.  Watching the body count grow.  The
  three assassination attempts on my life."
Riker: "Well, that'll change your point of view."
--"The High Ground", Stardate 43

Devos: "In a world where children blow up children, everyone's a threat."
--"The High Ground", Stardate 43

Picard: "Beverly, it is our obligation to escape."
Beverly: "He's prepared to kill you."
Picard: "An excellent reason to escape."
--"The High Ground", Stardate 43

Devos: "Already another one to take his place.  It never ends."
Riker: "He could've killed you.  He didn't.  Maybe the end begins with one boy
  putting down his gun."
--"The High Ground", Stardate 43

Picard: "Captain's Log, Stardate 43539.1.  We have moved into orbit around
  Bre'el IV.  With the assistance of the planet's Emergency Control Center,
  we're investigating a catastrophic threat to the population, from a descending
  asteroidal moon."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Riker: "Given the choice between slim and none, I'll take slim anyday."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Make it so."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Q!"
Q: "Red alert."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Captain's Log, Supplemental.  We are no closer to finding a solution to
  the deteriorating orbit of the Bre'el IV moon.  But with the arrival of Q, we
  now have a good idea of the cause."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

LaForge: "I'll take a look and see if there're any rules I haven't broken."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Riker: "We know you're behind this, Q."
Q: "*These* aren't my colors!  And what're you blathering about, Riker?!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "What kind of twisted pleasure does it give you to bring terror into
  their lives?"
Q: "Whose lives?"
Picard: "The millions of people down there who are watching as their moon falls
  out of sky!"
Q: "Ah, I haven't the *vaguest* idea of what you're talking about, and I have a
  much more serious problem!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "I'm no longer a member of the Qontinuum!  My superiors have decided to
  punish me!"
Picard: "And punish us as well, it would seem."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "You don't believe me, do you?  Do you think I would humiliate myself like
  this?"
Riker: "If it served your purpose, yes!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "I stand before you defrocked!  *Condemned to be a member of this lowest of
  species.  A normal, imperfect, *lumpen* human being!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Troi: "They made you human as part of your punishment."
Q: "No, it was my request.  I could've to exist as a Marcophian sea lizard, or a
  Belzoidian flea.  Anything I wished, as long as it was *mortal*!  And since I
  had only a fraction of a second to mull, I chose this, and asked them to bring
  me here."
Troi: "Why?"
Q: "Because in the universe, you're the closest thing I have to a friend, Jean-
  Luc."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Data: "Sir, he is reading as fully human."
Q: "What is there, an echo in here?"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Troi: "I am sensing an emotional presence, Captain.  I would normally describe
  it as being terrified."
Q: "How rude!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "What is it you want, Q?"
Q: "Your compassion."  [Silence]  "All right, sanctuary on this ship...*dreary*
  as it may sound for the both of us."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Return that moon to its orbit."
Q: "I have no powers!  Q, the ordinary!"
Picard: "Q, the liar!  Q, the misanthrope!"
Q: "Q, the miserable, Q, the desperate!  What must I do to convince you people?"
Worf: "Die."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Oh, very clever, Worf.  Eat any good books lately?"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Fine, you want to be treated as human?"
Q: "Absolutely."
Picard: "All right.  Mister Worf, throw him in the Brig."
Worf: "Delighted, Captain."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "You can't do this to me, Jean-Luc."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Worf: "You will walk or I will carry you!"
Q: "Given the option, I'll...I'll walk."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "You've disappointed me, Jean-Luc.  I'm very disappointed!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Hey, I'm claustrophobic!  I don't like it in here."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "It was a mistake!  I *never* should've picked human!  I knew it the moment I
  said it.  To think of a future in this *shell*, forced to cover myself with a
  fabric because of some *outdated* human morality!  To say nothing of being too
  hot or too cold.  Growing feeble with age.  Losing my hair.  Catching a
  disease?  Being ticklish?  Sneezing?  Having an itch?  A pimple?  *Bad
  breath*?"  [To Worf]  "Having to *bathe*?!"
Worf: "Too bad!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "'Klingon'!  I should have said 'Klingon'!  In my heart of hearts, I am a
  Klingon, Worf!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "So you understand I could never survive in confinement.  I mean this is
  cruel and unusual punishment.  The universe has been my backyard."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "As a fellow Klingon, if you would speak to the captain on my behalf, I would
  be *eternally* grateful.  Which doesn't mean as much as it used to, I admit."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Worf: "Be quiet!  Or disappear back where you came from."
Q: "I can't disappear...anymore than you could win a beauty contest."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "If I were to ask you a *very* simple question, do you think you might be
  able to answer it without it troubling your intellect too much?  Ready?  Here
  goes.  Would I permit you to lock me away if I still had all my powers?"
Worf: "You have fooled us too often, Q."
Q: "Oh, perspicacity incarnate!  Please don't feel compelled now to tell me the
  story of 'The Boy Who Cried Worf'."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "*Romulan*!  I should've said 'Romulan and Klingon goat'!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "The question is, what sort of *jaded* game is he up to this time?"
Riker: "Maybe he just wants a big laugh.  He'll take Bre'el IV to the edge of
  disaster and then pull the moon back."
Picard: "Or he may have nothing to do with it at all."
Riker: "You honestly think Q is telling the truth?"
Picard: "Oh, I agree, this is highly unlikely."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "What the devil?!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Oh, you've come to apologize, how nice.  All is forgiven, no offense taken."
Picard: "Enough!  Q, what exactly is going on?"
Q: "Oh, well how can I know what's going on?  I've been in this dungeon of
  yours, alone, helpless, *bored* to tears."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Truthfully, Jean-Luc, I've been entirely preoccupied by a most *frightening*
  experience of my on.  A couple of hours ago, I realized that my body was no
  longer functioning properly.  I felt weak.  I could no longer stand.  The life
  was oozing out of me.  I lost consciousness."
Picard: "You fell asleep."
Q: "Oh, how terrifying.  How can you stand it day after day?"
Picard: "You'll get used to it."
Q: "What other dangers await me?  I'm not prepared for this, I need guidance."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "This is getting on my nerves, now that I have them!"

Q: "You have a moon in a deteriorating orbit.  I've known moons throughout the
  universe.  Big ones, small ones, I'm an expert.  I could help you with this
  one, if you'll let me out of here."
Picard: "Q, there are millions of lives at risk.  If you have the power--"
Q: "I don't have any powers!  But I have the knowledge, locked up in this *puny*
  brain!  You cannot afford to not take that advantage, can't you?"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "*If* you are human, which I seriously doubt, you will have to work hard
  to earn our trust."
Q: "I'm not worried about that, Jean-Luc.  You only dislike me.  There are
  others in the cosmos who truly *despise* me."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Can I have a Starfleet uniform?"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "What are you looking at?"
Data: "I was considering the possibility that you are telling the truth...that
  you really are human."
Q: "It's the ghastly truth, Mister Data.  I can now stub my toe with the best of
  them."
Data: "An irony.  It means that you have achieved in disgrace, what I have
  always aspired to be."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Humans are such commonplace little creatures.  They roam over the galaxy
  searching for something they know not what."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Data: "The human race has an enduring desire for knowledge.  And for new
  opportunities to improve itself."
Q: "Well, there's certainly room for improvement.  But the truth is, Data,
  they're a minor species in the grand scheme, not worth your envy."
Data: "Oh, I do not feel envy."
Q: "Well that's good."
Data: "I feel nothing at all."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Data: "That is part of my dilemma.  I have the curiosity of humans, but there
  are questions that I will never have the questions to.  What it is like to
  laugh, or cry, or to experience any human emotions."
Q: "Hm.  Well, if you ask me, these human emotions are not what they're cracked
  up to be."
Data: "Hm."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "This is incredible!"
LaForge: "You see something here, Q?"
Q: "I think I just hurt my back!  I'm feeling pain.  I don't like it.  Uh,
  what's the right thing to say, 'Ow'?"
Data and LaForge: "Ow."
Q: "*Ow*!  I can't straighten up!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

LaForge: "Q, I've got a few people down on Bre'el IV who are going to be hurt!"
Q: "Yes, yes, yes!  Your marvelous plan will not only tear the moon to pieces,
  but your precious ship as well!"
LaForge: "You got a better idea?"
Q: "Well, I would certainly begin, by examining the cause, and not the symptom."
LaForge: "We've done that already, Q, and there's no way to--"
Q: "This is obviously the result of a large celestial object passing through
  at near-right angles to the plane of the star system.  Probably a black hole."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Data: "Can you recommend a way to counter the effect?"
Q: "Simple.  Change the gravitational constant of the universe."
LaForge: "What?"
Q: "Change the gravitational constant of the universe, thereby altering the mass
  of the asteroid."
LaForge: "Redefine gravity.  And how am I supposed to do that?"
Q: "You just do it!  Ow!  Where's that doctor anyway?"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Data: "Geordi is trying to say that changing the gravitational constant of the
  universe is beyond our capabilities."
Q: "Oh.  Well, in that case, never mind."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Ahh, Doctor Crusher, I see Starfleet has shipped you back into exile."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Data: "Q says he has hurt his back."
Beverly: "Uh-huh."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "I've been under a lot of pressure lately...family problems."
Beverly: "Mmm, well, don't expect too much sympathy from me.  You have been a
  pain in our backside often enough."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Your bedside manner is admirable, Doctor.  I'm sure your patients recover
  quickly, just to get away from you."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

LaForge: "You know, this might work?  We can't change the gravitational constant
  of the universe, but if we wrap a low-level warp field around that moon, we
  could reduce its gravitational constant.  Make it lighter so we can push it!"
Q: "Glad I could help."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Ow, I think."
Beverly: "Now what?"
Q: "There's something wrong with my stomach."
Beverly: "It hurts?"
Q: "It's making noises."
Beverly: "Maybe you're hungry."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "I've never eaten before, what do I ask for?"
Data: "The choice of meal is determined by individual taste."
Q: "What do you like?"
Data: "Although I do not require sustenence, I occasionally injest semi-organic
  nutrient suspension in a silcone-based liquid medium."
Q: "Is it good?"
Data: "It would be more apporpriate to say it is good for *me*, as it lubricates
  my biofunctions."
Q: "That doesn't sound very appealing."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "What else is there?"
Data: "A wide variety of items.  The replicator can make anything you desire."
Q: "How do I know what I desire?"
Data: "I have observed, that the selection of food, is often influenced by the
  mood of the person ordering."
Q: "I'm in a *dreadful* mood.  Get me something appropriate."
Data: "When Counselor Troi is unhappy, she usually eats something chocolate."
Q: "'Chocolate'?"
Data: "Mm.  A chocolate sundae, for example.  Although I do not speak from
  personal experience, I have seen it have a profound psychological impact."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "I'll have *ten* chocolate sundaes."
Bartender: "Ten?"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Data: "I have never seen anyone eat *ten* chocolate sundaes."
Q: "I'm in a *really* bad mood.  And since I've never eaten before, I should be
  ...very hungry."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "This is not a moment I've been looking forward to."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Guinan: "I hear they drummed you out of the Qontinuum."
Q: "I like to think of it as a significant career change."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Guinan: "Just one of the boys, eh?"
Q: "'One of the boys' with an IQ of two-thousand and five."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Data: "The captain and many of the crew are not yet convinced he is truly
  human."
Guinan: "Really?"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Guinan: "Seems human enough to me."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "This is a dangerous creature!  You have no idea, why Picard would make her a
  member of the crew and not me!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Guinan: "Must be terribly frightening for you to be totally defenseless after
  all of those centuries of being omnipotent!"
Q: "I'm warning you, I still have friends in high places."
Guinan: "Frightening one race after the other, teasing them like frightened
  animals, and you enjoying every moment of your victims' fears."
Q: "From now on, I'll do missionary work, okay?"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Guinan: "You could learn a lot from this one."
Q: "Sure, the robot who teaches the course in humanities."
Data: "I am an android, not a robot."
Q: "I beg your pardon."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Guinan: "I enjoy that, and you'd better get used to it."
Q: "What?!"
Guinan: "Begging!  You're a pitiful excuse for a human.  The only way you're
  going to survive is on the charity of others."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Uph, I'm not hungry."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Help me!  Somebody help me!"
Guinan: "How the mighty have fallen."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Captain's Log, Supplemental.  We have sustained light damage from an
  attack by an alien species known as the Calamarian.  They apparently have a
  grievance with Q, no doubt one of many lifeforms that do."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "The Calamarian are not very hospitable creatures."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "What did you do to them, Q?"
Q: "Oh, nothing bizarre, nothing grotesque."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Riker: "You tormented them!"
Q: "A subjective term, Riker.  One creature's torment is another creature's
  delight.  They simply have no sense of humor, a character flaw with which you
  can personally identify."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Riker: "I say we turn him over to them."
Q: "Oh, well, I take it back.  You do have a sense of humor, a dreadful one at
  that."
Riker: "I'm serious."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Of course.  You *knew* this would happen, didn't you?"
Q: "One can never anticipate the Calamarian.  They're very intelligent, but very
  flighty."
Picard: "Yes, but you must have so many enemies.  Certainly you knew that if
  once you became mortal, some of them might look you up."
Q: "It had occured to me."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "And for all your prodestations of friendship, your real reason for
  being here is protection."
Q: "You're very smart, Jean-Luc.  But I know human beings.  They're all sopping
  over with compassion and forgiveness.  They can't wait to absolve...almost any
  offense.  It's an inherent weakness in the breed."
Picard: "On the contrary, it is a strength."
Q: "You call it what you will."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Riker: "Fighting off all of the species of which you insulted would be a full-
  time mission.  That's not the one I signed up for."
Picard: "Indeed."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Human or not, I want no part of you."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Troi: "It seems you have an advocate, Q."
Data: "I am merely stating the facts, Counselor."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Picard thinks I can't cut it on his starship.  I can do anything his little-
  trained minions can do."
Data: "I do not perceive your skills to be in doubt, Q.  The captain is merely
  concerned with your ability to successfully interact with his 'little-trained
  minions'."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Data: "Human interpersonal relationships are more complex.  Your experience may
  not have adequately prepared you."
Q: "I'm not interested in 'human interpersonal relationships'.  I just want to
  prove to Picard that I'm indispensable."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Data: "To function aboard a starship, or in any human activity, you must learn
  to perform relationships."
Q: "It's so hard."
Data: "And of more immediate importance, is your ability to work within groups."
Q: "I'm not good in groups.  It's difficult to work in a group when you're
  omnipotent."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Mister Worf, keep a close eye on Q's friends out there."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "All right, everyone, this is what we're going to be doing..."
LaForge: "Q, everybody knows what they're going to do except for you.  Now
  here's what I need--"
Q: "LaForge, obviously my knowledge and experience far exceeds yours by about,
  a *billion* times.  So if you'll just step aside, gracefully."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

LaForge: "Q, your 'experience' will be most valuable to me if you could manually
  control the field integrity."
Q: "Don't be foolish.  That would be a waste of my talents!"
LaForge: "Q, get to the controls or get the hell out of here!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Who does he think he is, giving me orders?"
Data: "Geordi thinks he is in command here, and he is correct."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

LaForge: "Shut up, Q!"
Q: I will not be spoken to in this manner!"  [Why didn't Wesley respond like
  this?]
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Data: "Q, I strongly suggest that you coorperate."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Beverly: "If he was mortal, he'd be dead."
Q: "Well, let's not overstate the matter here, Doctor.  I'm mortal and I
  survived."
[Silence]
Q: "Your cheers are overwhelming."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

LaForge: "Commander, he's not worth it."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Come."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "You're right, of course.  I'm extraordinarily selfish.  But it has served me
  so well in the past."
Picard: "It will not serve you here."
Q: "Don't be so hard on me, Jean-Luc.  You've been mortal all of your life, you
  know about dying.  I've never even given it a second-thought...or a first one
  for that matter.  I could've been killed.  If it hadn't been for Data, and
  that brief little he created, I would've been gone.  No more me.  And no one
  would've missed me, would they?"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Data may have sacrificed himself for me.  Why?"
Picard: "That is his special nature...to learn the lessons of humanity well."
Q: "When I ask myself if I would've done the same for him, and I am forced to
  answer, 'No', I feel...I feel ashamed."
Picard: "Q, I am not your father-confessor.  You will receive no absolution from
  me."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1
  
Picard: "You have brought nothing more than pain and suffering to this crew.
  And I am still not entirely convinced that all this isn't all your latest
  attempt at a purile joke!"
Q: "It is a joke, a joke on me, a joke on the universe.  The king who would be
  man."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "As I learn more and more, what it is to be human, I am more and more
  convinced that I would never make a good one.  I don't have what it takes.
  Without my powers I'm frightened of everything.  I'm a coward...and I'm
  miserable...and I can't go on this way."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "There are creatures in the universe who would consider you the ultimate
  achievement, android.  No feelings, no emotions...no pain.  And yet you cover
  those qualities of humanity.  Believe me, you're missing nothing.  But if it
  means anything to you, you're a better human than I."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Where's the Main Shuttlebay?"
Computer: "Main Shuttlebay is located on Deck Four."
Q: "Take me there."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Shuttle occupant, identify yourself."
Q: "Don't try and talk me out of it, Jean-Luc."
Picard: "Q, return to the ship immediately!"
Q: "I just can't get used to following orders."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "It's easier this way!  They won't bother you after I'm gone!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Please, don't fall back on your tired cliche of charging to the rescue just
  in the nick of time.  I don't want to be rescued!  My life as a human being
  has been a dismal failure!  Perhaps my death will have a little dignity."
Picard: "Q, there is no dignity in this suicide."
Q: "Yes, I suppose you're right, death of a coward then, so be it.  But as a
  human, I would have died of boredom."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "This goes against my better judgement.  Transporter Room Three, lock
  onto Shuttle One, beam it back into its bay."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "It's a perfectly good shuttlecraft."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Riker: "What the hell is going on?!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q2: "Not bad, Q!  Not great.  Aaah, huuh, but not bad."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Q!"
Q2: "Ah!  Sacrificing yourself for these humans?  Do I detect a littttle
  selfless act?"
Q: "You flatter me.  I was only trying to put a quick end to a *miserable*
  existence!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q2: "Ewweh!  What a dreadful color!"
Q: "Yeah."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "What're you doing here?"
Q2: "Oh, I've been trying track of you."
Q: "I always thought you were in my corner."
Q2: "Naw, ah, no, nah.  See, actually I was the one who got you kicked out."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q2: "You know you're incorrigible, Q.  You're a lost cause.  I can't go to a
  *single* solar system without having to apologize for you, and I'm tired of
  it!"
Q: "*I* wasn't the one who misplaced the entire Deltivid asteroid belt!"
Q2: "Hey!  This isn't about me.  I've got better places to be."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q2: "But somebody had to keep an eye on you to make sure you still didn't find a
  way to cause trouble, even as a member of this, hmm, limited species."
Q: "Well, I, I hope I've been entertaining you."
Q2: "Barely."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q2: "But, I find these humans rather interesting.  I'm beginning to understand
  what you see in them.  After all of the things that you've done, they're still
  intent on keeping you safe!"
Q: "A genetic *weakness* of the race."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q2: "They just tried to, mmm, beam you up, back, whatever it is they call it!"
Q: "Really?"
Q2: "Ah, I stopped them."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Well, if the Calamarians hurry up and finish me off, we can get you back on
  your way."
Q2: "Mmm, afraid I put them on hold too.  You see, there's still this matter of
  the...selfless act."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q2: "Now you and I both know that the Calamarian would've eventually destroyed
  the Enteprise to get to you.  And that's really why you left, right?"
Q: "It was a teeny bit selfless, wasn't it?"
Q2: "Eew, yeah, and there's my problem!  See, I can't go back to the Qontinuum,
  and tell them that you committed a selfless act just before you did!  If I do,
  there's going to be questions, there's going to be explanations, for
  centuries!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "I've learned my lesson, Q."
Q2: "Remember who you're talking to.  All-knowing, all-seeing."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q2: "Hmm, fine, hmm, huuh, you got your powers back!"
Q2: "Try and stay out of trouble."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "So they wanted to destroy me, did they?"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "If you think I tormented you in the past, my little friends, wait until see
  what I do with you now!"
Q2: "Q..."
Q: "I was just seeing if you were...still watching."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Well, I suppose that is the end of Q."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Au contraire, mon capitan!  He's back!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "I'm forgiven!  My brothers and sisters of the Qontinuum have taken me back.
  I'm immortal again!  Omnipotent again!"
Riker: "Swell."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Don't fret, Riker.  My good fortune is your good fortune."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Riker: "I don't need your fantasy women!"
Q: "Oh, you're so stolid!  You weren't like that before the beard!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Q!"
Q: "But I feel like celebrating!"
Picard: "I don't!"
Q: "All right!"
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Now at the risk of being rude--"
Q: "Yes, once again, I overstate my welcome.  As a human, I was ill-equipped to
  thank you.  But as myself, you have my everlasting gratitude.  Until next
  time..."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Q: "Ah, but before I go, there's a debt I wish to repay to my professor of the
  humanities.  Data, I've decided to give you something very, very special."
Data: "If your intention is to make me human--"
Q: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I would never curse you by making you human.
  Think of it, as a going-away present."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

LaForge: "Data, why are you laughing?"
Data: "I do not know.  But it was a wonderful...feeling."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Picard: "Perhaps there is a...residue of humanity in Q after all.  Ensign, en--"
Q: "Don't bet on it, Picard."
--"Deja Q", Stardate 43539.1

Guinan: "It's an Earth drink.  Prune juice."
Worf: "Warrior's drink!"
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate Unknown 

Guinan: "You always drink alone.  It wouldn't hurt you to seek out a little...
  companionship."
Worf: "I would require a Klingon woman for...companionship.  Earth females are
  too fragile."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate Unknown 

Guinan: "There are a few on this ship that would find you...tame."
Worf: [Laughs]  "Impossible."
Guinan: "You never know until you try."
Worf: "Then I will never know."
Guinan: "Coward."
Worf: "I was merely concerned for the...safety of my crewmates."
Guinan: "Drink your prune juice."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate Unknown 

Guinan: "This is not a ship of war.  This is a ship of peace."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

Garrett: "Doctors always overprotect their patients."
Beverly: "And captains always push themselves too hard."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

Riker: "Sir, if you'd like my opinion..."
Picard: "I think I'm aware of your opinion, Commander.  This is a briefing, I'm
  not seeking your consent."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

LaForge: "Who knows if we're even dead or alive."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

Garrett: "To be honest with you, Picard, a significant number of my crewmembers
  have expressed a desire to return even knowing the odds.  Some because they
  can't bear to live without their loved ones.  Some because they don't like the
  idea of slipping out in the middle of a fight."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

Guinan: "Tasha, you're not supposed to be here."
Yar: "Where am I supposed to be?"
Guinan: "Dead."
Yar: "Do you know how?"
Guinan: "No.  But I do know that it was an empty death.  A death without
  purpose."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

Yar: "I'm...I'm supposed to be dead."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

Yar: "I've always known the risks that came with a Starfleet uniform.  If I'm to
  die in one...I'd like my death to count for something."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

Picard: "Let's make sure history never forgets the name...'Enterprise'."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

Klingon: "Federation ship, surrender and prepare to be boarded."
Picard: "That'll be the day."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

Guinan: "Geordi, tell me about...Tasha Yar."
--"Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

Troi: "It's not like Data to be secretive."
Wesley: "And cautious.  He's got that lab locked every minute."
LaForge: "Now how do you know that?"
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "I am functioning within normal parameters."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "Purpose for exterior drapings, father?"
Data: "It is an accepted custom that we wear clothing."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Picard: "Data, I would like to have been consulted."
Data: "I have not observed anyone else on board consulting you about their
  procreation, Captain."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Picard: "I fail to understand how a five-foot android with heuristic learning
  systems and the strength of ten men can be called a child."
Troi: "You're never been a parent."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "I am genter neuter, inadequate."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Troi: "Congratulations, Data.  It's a girl."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Wesley: "Parents.  Nothing personal."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "Why is the sky black?"
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "Judging from their laughter, the children at school found my remarks
  humorous.  So without understanding humor, I have somehow mastered it."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Data: "I can give her attention, Doctor, but I am incapable of giving her love."
Beverly: "Now why do I find that so hard to believe?"
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "Father says that I would learn a great deal from someone as old as you."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "What are they doing?"
Guinan: "It's called flirting."
Lal: "They seem to be communicating telepathically."
Guinan: "They're thinking the same thing, if that's what you mean."

Lal: "Guinan, is the joining of hands a symbolic act for humans?"
Guinan: "It shows affection.  Humans like to touch each other.  They start with
  the hands, and go from there."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "He's biting that female!"
Guinan: "No, he's not biting her.  They're pressing lips together.  It's called
  'kissing'."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "Wy are they leaving?"
Guinan: "Lal, there are some things your father's just going to have to explain
  to you when he thinks you're ready."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Data: "Commander, what are your intentions towards my daughter?"
Riker: "Your *daughter*?  Nice to meet you.  Excuse me."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "You are wise, father."
Data: "It is the difference between knowledge and experience."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Haftel: "Captain, are we talking about breaking up a family?  Isn't that a
  rather sentimental attitude about androids?"
Picard: "They are living, sentient beings.  Their rights and privileges in our
  society have been defined, I helped define them."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Haftel: "She is capable of running sixty-trillion calculations a second, and you
  have her working as a cocktail waitress."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Haftel: "Don't misunderstand me.  I have great respect for your father."
Lal: "You do not speak with respect."
Haftel: "She seems very adversarial."
Lal: "I am merely stating a fact, Admiral."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Troi: "Hello, Lal.  How are you?"
Lal: "Troi...Admiral...Admiral...An Admiral from Starfleet has come to take me
  away.  Troi.  I am...scared."
Troi: "You are scared, aren't you?"
Lal: "I feel it.  How is this possible?"
Troi: "I don't know."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "This is what it means to feel.  This is what...means...feel."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Data: "Lal is my child.  You ask that I volunteer to give her up.  I cannot.  It
  would violate every lesson I have learned about human parenting.  I have
  brought a new life into this world and it is my duty, not Starfleet's, to
  guide her through these difficult steps to maturity.  To support her as she
  learns.  To prepare her to be a contributing member of society.  No one can
  relieve me from that obligation.  And I cannot ignore it.  I am...her father."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Picard: "There are times, sir, when men of good conscience cannot blindly follow
  orders.  You acknowledge their sentience, but you ignore their personal
  liberties...and freedom.  Order a man to hand his chld over to the state.  Not
  while I'm his captain."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Picard: "A malfunction...emotional awareness."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Data: "Lal, I am unable to correct the system failure."
Lal: "I know."
Data: "We must say 'Good-bye' now."
--"The Offspring", Stardate 43

Lal: "I feel..."
Data: "What do you feel, Lal?"
Lal: "I love you, father."
Data: "I wish I could feel it with you."
Lal: "I will feel it for both of us.  Thank you for my life.  Flirting...
  laughter...painting...family...female...humo--"  [Dies]

Picard: "Captain's Log, Stardate 43685.2.  As part of an exchange program, we
  are taking aboard a Klingon occupant to return the recent visit of Commander
  Riker to the cruiser Pagh."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

Riker: "One does not patronize a Klingon warrior."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

Riker: "This is not a Klingon ship, sir."
Kurn: "No, Commander, it is not.  If it were a Klingon ship, I would have killed
  you for offering your suggestion."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

Troi: "Are you adjusting to your new environment, Commander?"
Kurn: "I find the constraints a bit difficult to conform to.  Just a while ago I
  had to stop myself from killing Commander Riker."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

LaForge: "No offense, sir."
Kurn: "None taken.  I never killed anyone at the supper table, Mister LaForge."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

Worf: "I am a Klingon.  If you doubt it, a demonstration can be arranged."
Kurn: "That is the response of a Klingon.  The respone I would expect from my
  older brother."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

Worf: "On this ship, you are my commander and I obey.  In Council Chamber, you
  are my cha'DIch.  You do not insist, you obey."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

Duras: "You claim a birthright you have forsaken?"
Worf: "I have not forsaken my heritage.  I am Klingon.  My heart is of this
  world.  My blood is as yours."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

Duras: "You shall not wear this emblem of our people!"
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

Worf: "It is a good day to die, Duras, and the day is not yet over."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

Duras: "This is not your world, human.  You do not command here."
Picard: "I'm not here to command."
Duras: "Then you must be ready to fight...something Starfleet does not teach
  you!"
Picard: "You may test that assumption at your convenience."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

Worf: "It is too dangerous, you must not go alone."
Picard: "Hey, I'm your cha'DIch."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

K'Mpec: "It is good to see you again."
Kahlest: "You are still too fat, K'Mpec."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

Picard: "Do not forget what happens here today.  You must not let your children
  forget."
--"Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

"Picard": "Oh, cheer up, my lads, 'tis to glory we steer."
--"Allegiance", Stardate 43

Picard: "The replica was very convincing?"
Riker: "Very convincing...but not perfect."
Picard: "Not perfect in what way?"
Riker: "Well, sir...I find it hard to believe that you're that good a singer."
Picard: "Singer?...I look forward to reading your report, Commander.  At least,
  I think I do."
--"Allegiance", Stardate 43

Riker: "I told you he'd have a great time."
--"Captain's Holiday", Stardate 43

Barclay: "I mean, I am the guy who writes down things to remember to say when
  there's a party, and when he finally gets there, he winds up alone, in the
  corner, trying to look comfortable examining a potted plant."
--"Hollow Pursuits", Stardate 43

Fajo: "What I've done was evil, selfish, immoral, unprincipled, illegal...well,
  I've learned to live with it."
--"The Most Toys", Stardate 43

LaForge: "I always thought Data would outlive us all, by centuries."
--"The Most Toys", Stardate 43

Picard: "'He was a man...take him for all in all...we shall not look upon his
  like again.'"
--"The Most Toys", Stardate 43

[Data must feel good about seeing Kivas Fajo locked up]
Data: "No, sir...it does not.  I do not have feelings.  I am only an android."
--"The Most Toys", Stardate 43

Hanson: "This is the third time we've pulled out the captain's chair for Riker.
  He just won't sit down."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Data: "Early bird [gets the worm]?  I believe Commander Shelby erred.  There is
  no evidence of avian or crawling vermicular lifeforms on Jure IV."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Shelby: "Data was available.  I took him, we came."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Shelby: "There's no doubt anymore.  It is the Borg."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

LaForge: "Wesley, you may get straight 'A's in school, but there's a lot you
  need to learn about poker."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Picard: "Will, what the hell are you still doing here?"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Picard: "Will, you're ready to work without a net.  You're ready to take
  command.  And you know, the Enterprise will go on just fine without you."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Picard: "Mister Worf, dispatch a subspace message to Admiral Hanson...'We have
  engaged...the Borg.'"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Riker: "You do an end run around me again, I'll snap you back so hard you'll
  feel like a first-year cadet again."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Shelby: "All you know how to do is play it safe."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Shelby: "If you cannot make the big decisions, Commander, I suggest you make
  room for someone who can."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

LaForge: "Move it people, let's move it!"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Picard: "It's a bit of a tradition, Guinan, for the captain to tour the ship
  before a battle."
Guinan: "Before a *hopeless* battle, if I remember the tradition correctly."
Picard: "Not necessarily.  Nelson toured the H.M.S. Victory before Trafalgar."
Guinan: "But Nelson never returned from Trafalgar, did he?"
Picard: "Ah, but the *battle* was won."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Shelby: "Shelby to Enterprise, we've found the captain's uniform and his
  communicator.  We're resuming our search."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Beverly: "Jean-Luc..."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Shelby: "We were unable to retrieve him, sir.  The captain has been altered by
  the Borg."
Riker: "'Altered'?"
Worf: "He *is* a Borg!"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Beverly: "Will, he's alive.  If we could get him back to the ship, I might be
  able to restore--"
Riker: "This is our only chance to destroy them.  If they get back into warp,
  our weapon is useless."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Locutus: "I am Locutus, of Borg.  Your life, as it has been, is over.  From this
  time forward, you will service...*us*."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Riker: "Mister Worf...fire."
