--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate Unknown

  course towards Earth.  We are unable to pursue, pending repairs to the
  Enterprise."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

LaForge: "We should be back up in eight to twelve hours, Admiral."
Hansen: "Well, we'll miss you at the party!"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Hansen: "We've mobilized a fleet of forty starships at Wolf-359, and that's
  just for starters.  The Klingons are sending starships.  Hell, we've even
  thought of opening communications with the Romulans!"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Hansen: "Lieutenant, a few years ago, I watched a freshman cadet pass four
  upperclassmen on the last hill of the forty-kilometer run at Delulin II.  The
  damnest thing I ever saw, the only freshman to ever win the Academy Marathon.
  I made it my business to get to know that young fellow, and get to know him
  very, very well.  And I'll tell you something.  I never met anyone with more
  drive and determination or more courage than Jean-Luc Picard.  And there is no
  way in hell that he would submit to the Borg.  I want that clear."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Hansen: "He is...a casuality of war."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Hansen: "In less than twenty-four hours, this armada is going to hit that Borg
  vessel with everything we can muster.  Either they survive or we don't.  As
  for Picard, a great man has been lost.  Your captain...my friend."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Hansen: "He is...a casuality of war."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Hansen: "Commander Riker, I hearby promote you to the field commission of
  captain.  The Enterprise is your ship now.  Congratulations."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Riker: "Good luck, Admiral."
Hansen: "Hmm.  To us all."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Shelby: "The main navigational deflector is functional again.  Sherman and
  Barclay are running through the final testing sequence now."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Riker: "Commander, we don't have to like each other to work well together.  As a
  matter of fact, I'd like you to continue to keep me on my toes."
Shelby: "Sir, I like to find that as the role of a first officer."
Riker: "Damn, you *are* ambitious, aren't you Shelby?"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Shelby: "Captain Riker, based on our past relationship, there's no reason for me
  to expect to becoming your first officer except that you need me.  I know how
  to get things done and I have the expertise on the Borg."
Riker: "And you have a lot to learn, Commander."
Shelby: "Yes, sir."
Riker: "Almost as much as I had to learn when I came onboard as Captain Picard's
  first officer.  A fact he reminded me of when I commented on what a pain-in-
  the-neck you were."
Shelby: "Yes, sir."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Data: "Starfleet reports it has engaged the Borg at Wolf-359, sir."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44001.4

Riker: "Captain's Log, Stardate 44003.3.  Repairs are complete, and the
  Enterprise is warping to rendevous with Starfleet at Wolf-359.  Communications
  from the site of battle have been cut off, possibly due to Borg interferance."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Lieutenant Worf, everyone in this room shares my respect for your
  service to this ship.  But right now, I need your experience at Tactical.
  Commander Data, I realize your very nature omits ambition.  Nevertheless, I
  want you to know that I seriously considered you as first officer."
Data: "Thank you, sir."
Riker: "But this is not the time for change.  I need all of you where you are,
  where Captain Picard always relied on you.  I have been, reluctantly, forced
  to conclude that Commander Shelby, our expert on the Borg is an ideal choice
  at this time for a first officer."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Troi: "In two or three weeks, Nanites may be all that's left of the Federation."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "I'm sure Captain Picard would have something meaningful and
  inspirational to say right now.  To tell you the truth, I wish he was here,
  'cause I'd like to here it too.  I know how difficult this transition has been
  you all of you.  I can take over for him.  But I can never replace Captain
  Picard, nor would I ever try.  Whatever the outcome, I'm sure our efforts in
  the coming battle, will justify his faith in all of us.  Dismissed."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "What would you do?"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Guinan: "May I speak to you, Captain?"
Riker: "Actually, Guinan, I--"
Guinan: "You know, Picard and I used to talk every now and then when one of us
  needed to.  I guess I'm just used to having the captain's ear."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "What's on your mind?"
Guinan: "I've heard a lot of people talking down in Ten-Forward.  They expect to
  be dead in the next day or so.  They trust you, they like you, but they don't
  believe anyone can save them."
Riker: "I'm not sure anyone can."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Guinan: "When a man is convinced he's going to die tomorrow, he'll probably find
  a way to make it happen.  The only one who can turn this around is you."
Riker: "I'll do the best I can."
Guinan: "You're going to have to do something you don't want to do.  You have to
  let go of Picard."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Maybe you haven't heard, I tried to kill him yesterday!"
Guinan: "You tried to kill whatever that is on the Borg ship...not Picard.
  Picard is still here with us...in this room.  If he had died, it would've been
  easier.  But he didn't.  They took him from us, a piece at a time."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Guinan: "Did he ever tell you why we're so close?"
Riker: "No."
Guinan: "Oh.  Then let me just say that...our relationship...is beyond
  friendship, beyond family.  And I *will* let him go.  And you must do the
  same."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3
  
Guinan: "There can only be *one* captain."
Riker: "It's not that simple.  This was his crew, he wrote the book on this
  ship!"
Guinan: "If the Borg know everything he knows, it's time to throw that book
  away.  You must let him go, Riker.  It's the only way to beat him...the only
  way to save him.  And *that*, is now your chair, Captain."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Shelby: "The Tolstoi...the Kyushu...the Melbourne."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Commander Shelby, prepare to initiate your plan to separate the saucer
  section when we find the Borg."
Shelby: "Sir, I must remind you that Captain Picard was briefed on that plan.
  The Borg will be prepared for it."
Riker: "I'm aware of that, Commander.  In fact, I'm counting on it."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Mister Data, Mister Worf, I have a special mission for you."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Locutus of Borg, this is Captain William T. Riker of the U.S.S.
  Enterprise."
Locutus: "You may speak."
Riker: "We wish to end the hostilities."
Locutus: "Then you must unconditionally surrender."
Riker: "We are prepared to meet to discuss your terms."
Locutus: "It is unlikely you are prepared to discuss terms.  It is more likely
  that this is an attempt at deception."
Riker: "Come now, Locutus.  If Picard's knowledge and experience is a part of
  you, then you know that I have never lied to him.  You should also implicitly
  trust me, is that not so?"
Locutus: "Picard implicitly trusted you."
Riker: "Then trust me now.  Meet to discuss your terms."
Locutus: "Discussion is irrelevant.  There are no terms.  You will disarm all
  your weapons and escort us to Sector 001, where we will begin assimilating
  your culture and techno--"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "We would like time to prepare our people for assimilation."
Locutus: "Preparation is irrelevant.  Your people will be assimilated as easily
  as Picard has been.  Your attempt at a delay will not be successful, Number
  One.  We will proceed to Earth, and if you attempt to intervene, we will
  destroy you."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Then take your best shot, Locutus, 'cause we are about to 'intervene'."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Reset subspace communications, Scrambler Code Riker-Alpha."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Make it so."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Open fire, all weapons."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Evasive manuevers, Pattern Riker-Alpha."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Wesley: "They're ignoring the saucer section completely."
Riker: "Just as you should, Captain."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Ensign, evasive pattern, Riker-Beta."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Shelby: "Fire antimatter spread."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "Shuttle launch confirmed.  Departing Enterprise in exactly three
  seconds."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Worf: "Shuttle has penetrated the Borg electromagnetic field."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Worf: "Mission accomplished.  We have him."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

O'Brien: "Transport successful, sir."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Once he was wired into the Borg, they knew everything that he knew.  I
  just hope it goes both ways."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Beverly: "Jean-Luc, it's Beverly.  Can you hear me?"
Locutus: "Beverly...Crusher, Doctor."
Beverly: "Yes."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Locutus: "A futile manuever.  Incorrect strategy, Number One, to risk your crew
  and ship to retrieve only one man.  Picard would never have approved.  You
  underestimate us, if you believe this abduction is any concern."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Locutus: "There is no need for apprehension.  I intend no harm...no harm.  I
  will continue aboard this ship to speak for the Borg while they continue,
  without further diversion, to Sector 001, where they will force your
  unconditional surrender."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Beverly: "As long as these Borg implants are functioning, there's no way I can
  separate the man from the machine."
Data: "Then perhaps, there is a way I can access the machine, Doctor."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Locutus: "Worf, Klingon species, a warrior race.  You too will be assimilated."
Worf: "The Klingon Empire will never yield!"
Locutus: "Why do you resist?  We only wish to raise quality of life for all
  species."
Worf: "I like my *'species'* the way it is!"
Locutus: "A narrow vision.  You will become one with the Borg.  You will all
  become one with the Borg."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Locutus: "The android, Data, primitive artificial organism.  You will be
  obsolete in the new world order."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Shelby: "Captain, the Borg have entered Sector 001."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Ensign Crusher, at their current speed, when will they reach Earth?"
Wesley: "Twenty-seven minutes."
Riker: "The soonest we can intercept?"
Wesley: "Forty-two minutes."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "Counselor, hopefully you will be able to determine whether I am reaching
  Captain Picard."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

O'Brien: "At what point should I shut it down if there's a problem?"
Data: "I do not know.  I have never done this before."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "Initiating first neural link."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "First neural connection is confirmed.  I cannot report any significant
  access to the Borg consciousness."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "Second neural connection is confirmed.  I still cannot report any
  significant access."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "Proceeding with the final link."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "Neural connection is complete.  I have access to the Borg subspace
  signal.  Processing...processing."
Troi: "Data..."
Data: "Standby.  Processing...processing."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "Fascinating.  The Borg group consciousness is divided into subcommands,
  necessary to carry out all functions.  Defense, communications, navigation.
  They are all controlled by a root command."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "What is causing the increased neural activity is unclear."
Troi: "No it's not.  It's him!  It's Picard!"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Troi: "Troi to Bridge.  Data has made first contact with Captain Picard."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "It is Captain Picard himself who has somehow managed to intiate contact."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Worf: "Sir, the Borg have halted their approach to Earth."
Troi: "I think we got their attention."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "They're worried.  They're worried because we have access to Picard.
  Mister Data, we have two minutes to figure out what we can do with it."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "It is clear the Borg are either unwilling or unable to terminate their
  subspace links."
Beverly: "*That* might be their Achille's heel, Captain...their
  interdependency."
Riker: "What do you mean, Doctor?"
Beverly: "He is part of their collective consciousness now.  Cutting him off
  would be like asking us to disconnect an arm or a foot.  We can't do it."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Shelby: "They act as a single mind."
Riker: "One of them jumps off a cliff, they all jump off?"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Mister Data, is it possible to plant a command into the Borg collective
  consciousness?"
Data: "It is conceivable, sir.  But it would require altering the pathway from
  the root command, to affect all intricate branchpoints in the--"
Riker: "Make every effort, Mister Data."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "Sir, what command shall I attempt to plant?"
Riker: "Something straightforward, like 'Disarm your weapons systems.'"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "Attempting to reroute subcommand paths, Captain.  Defense systems are
  protected by access barriers."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "I am unable to penetrate the base systems command structure, Captain."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Shelby: "Try the power systems, Data.  See if you can get them to power down."
Data: "Acknowledged.  Attempting new power subcommand path."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "I cannot penetrate Borg power subcommand structure, sir.  All critical
  subcommands are protected, Captain."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Mister Crusher, ready a collision course with the Borg ship."
Wesley: [What?!]
Riker: "You heard me, a collision course!"
Wesley: "Yes, sir."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Mister LaForge, prepare to go to warp power."
LaForge: "Aye, sir."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Picard: "Sleep..."
Beverly: "He's regaining consciousness."
Picard: "Sleep..."
Troi: "It's Captain Picard speaking, not Locutus."
Picard: "Sleep, Data."
Beverly: [To Picard]  "You're exhausted."
Data: "Yes, Doctor."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "If I may make a supposition.  I do not believe his message was intended
  to express fatigue, but to suggest a course of action."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Mister Crusher, engag--"
Data: "Data to Bridge, standby."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Data: "I am attempting to penetrate the Borg regenerate subcommand path.  It is
  a low priority system that may be accessable."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Mister Data, your final report."
Data: "Standby."
Riker: "I *can't*, Mister Data!"
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Mister Data, what the hell happened?"
Data: "I successfully planted a command into the Borg collective consciousness.
  It misdirected them to believe that it was time to regenerate.  In effect, I
  put them all to sleep."
Riker: "'Sleep'?"
Data: "Yes, sir."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Commander Shelby, take an Away Team and confirm that the Borg are...
  asleep."
Shelby: "Delighted, sir."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Shelby: "I'd say we're looking at a self-destruct sequence initiated by the
  Borg's malfunction.  Do you want us to attempt to disarm it?"
Beverly: "There's no way to know what the destruction of the Borg ship will do
  to him."
Data: "We should also consider the advantages of further examination of the Borg
  and their vessel, sir."
Riker: "I don't think so."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Troi: "How do you feel?"
Picard: "Almost human...with just...a bit of a headache."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "How much do you remember?"
Picard: "Everything...including some brilliantly unorthodox strategy from...a
  former first officer of mine."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Picard and Riker: "Come."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Picard: "You'll make a fine officer for the task force, Commander."
Shelby: "We'll have the fleet back up in less than a year."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Shelby: "I imagine you'll have your choice of any Starfleet command, sir."
Riker: "Everyone is so concerned about my next job.  With all due respect,
  Commander,"  [To Picard]  "Sir, my career plans are my own business, and no
  one else's.  but it's nice to know I have a few options."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Shelby: "I hope I have the fortune of serving with you again, sir."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Riker: "Course for Station McKinley ready and laid in, sir."
Picard: "Make it so, Number One."
--"The Best Of Both Worlds Part II", Stardate 44003.3

Picard: "They took everything I was!  They used me to kill...and to destroy...
  and I couldn't stop them!  I tried so hard!"
--"Family", Stardate 44

Data: "One Seven Three Four Six Seven Three Two One Four Seven Six Charlie Three
  Two Seven Eight Nine Seven Seven Seven Six Four Three Tango Seven Three Two
  Victor Seven Three One One Seven Eight Eight Eight Seven Three Two Four Seven
  Six Seven Eight Nine Seven Six Four Three Seven Six Lock."
--"Brothers", Stardate 44

Soong: "Yep...you're right on time."
--"Brothers", Stardate 44

Lore: "Often-Wrong's got a broken heart...can't even tell his boys apart."
--"Brothers", Stardate 44

Data: "You know that I cannot grieve for you, sir."
Soong: "You will...in your own way."
--"Brothers", Stardate 44

Data: "Goodbye...father."
--"Brothers", Stardate 44

Beverly: "They're brothers, Data.  Brothers forgive."
--"Brothers", Stardate 44

Troi: "This is a banana split...and it's quite possibly one of the greatest
  things in the universe."
--"Suddenly Human", Stardate 44

Beverly: "Worf, the big guy who never smiles.  The *Klingon*!  Will Riker, your
  first officer!  He's...he's very good at poker! Loves to cook...he listens t
  jazz music...plays the trombone!  Commander Data, the android who sits at Ops.
  *Dreams* of being human...never gets the punchline of a joke!  Deanna Troi,
  your ship's counselor.  Half Betazoid...loves chocolate.  The arrival of her
  mother makes you shudder!"
--"Remember Me", Stardate 44

Beverly: "O'Brien, Geordi, Worf, Wesley...my *son*!  They have been the living,
  breathing backbone of this ship for over three years!  They deserve more than
  to be shrugged off...brushed aside, just pinched out of existence like that!
  They all do.  They deserve so much more."
--"Remember Me", Stardate 44

Traveler: "It's not over Wesley...there's still a way."
--"Remember Me", Stardate 44

Beverly: "We will start with the assumption that I am *not* crazy."
--"Remember Me", Stardate 44

Beverly: "If there's nothing wrong with *me*...there must be something wrong
  with the universe."
--"Remember Me", Stardate 44

?: "You two have successfully divided the evening between you."
Worf: "I suspect conspiracy...but far be it from me to accuse a superior
  officer."
--"Legacy", Stardate 44

Ishara: "I don't want to kill you, Data...but I will."
--"Legacy", Stardate 44

Picard: "With all trust comes the possibitity of betrayal."
Data: "Then perhaps it is better not to trust."
--"Legacy", Stardate 44

Worf: "You know my feelings."
K'Ehleyr: "Maybe I've forgotten."
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

K'Ehleyr: "What shall I tell Alexander, that he has no father?"
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

Alexander: "I don't want to be a warrior!"
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

K'Ehleyr: "The son who betrays his people to the Romulans, just like his father
  did."
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

K'Mpec: "'All for the glory of the Klingon Empire'...that should be my epitaph."
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

Gowron: "That could take hours!"
K'Ehleyr: "Or days, depending on your cooperation."
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

K'Ehleyr: "Don't play the wounded Klingon to me, Duras.  You don't do it very
  well."
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

K'Ehleyr: "You talk like a Ferengi!"
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

Worf: "*K'Ehleyr*!"
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

Duras: "What is *that* doing here?"
"He has claimed the right of vengence."
Duras: "You have no *rights* here, traitor."
Worf: "K'Ehleyr...was my mate."
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

Duras: "Kill me and you are a traitor forever!"
Worf: "Then that...is how it shall be!"
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

Alexander: "Are you my father?"
Worf: "Yes...I am your father."
--"Reunion", Stardate 44

Troi: "Lots of things improve with age...maybe your trombone playing will be one
  of them."
--Troi, "Future Imperfect, Stardate 44

Picard: "Wesley, you will be missed."
--"Final Mission", Stardate 44

Riker: "What, no seconds?"
Data: "I have discovered, sir, a certain level of impatience when I calculate a
  lengthy time interval to the nearest second."
--"The Loss", Stardate 44

Troi: "Spare me the inspirational anecdote."
--"The Loss", Stardate 44

Riker: "You'd be surprised how far a hug can go with Geordi...or Worf."
--"The Loss", Stardate 44

Troi: "Oh, and the next time you call me 'aristocratic'..."
--"The Loss", Stardate 44

Data: "I have good news.  Keiko has made a decision designed to increase her

Picard: "Captain's Log, Stardate 44429.6.  We're on a mapping survey near the
  Cardassian sector.  It has been nearly a year since peace treaty ended the
  long conflict between the Federation and Cardassia."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Picard: "Last time I was in this sector, I was on the Stargazer running at warp
  speed ahead of a Cardassian warship."
Troi: "Running, Captain?  You?  That's hard to believe."
Picard: "Believe it."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Picard: "I'd been sent to make preliminary overtures for a truce.  And I had
  lowered my shields as a gesture of goodwill.  The Cardassians were not
  impressed.  They had taken out most of my weapons and damaged the impulse
  engines before I could regroup and run."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Worf: "The Cardassians have no honor.  I do not trust them."
Troi: "They are our allies now, Mister Worf.  We have to trust them."
Worf: "Trust is earned.  Not *given* away."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Picard: "I hope their scout ship makes contact soon.  It's never a good idea to
  stay too long in a Cardassian border without making your intentions known."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

O'Brien: "What, wh...what is it?"
Keiko: "Kelp buds, plankton loaf, and sea berries."
O'Brien: "Oh.  Sweetheart, I'm not a fish."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

O'Brien: "Isn't that what marriage is about...sharing?"
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Keiko: "What kind of food?"
O'Brien: "Scalloped potatoes, mutton shanks, ox tails and cabbage."
Keiko: "Kind of heavy."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

O'Brien: "Ah, I can still remember the aromas when mother was cooking."
Keiko: "She *cooked*?"
O'Brien: "She didn't believe in a replicator.  She thought real food was more
  nutritious."
Keiko: "She handled *real meat*?  She *touched* it and *cut* it?"
O'Brien: "Yeah, like a master chef.  She was fantastic!"
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

O'Brien: "But I'll make something special for you tonight.  You'll love it, I
  promise."
Keiko: "Okay.  Maybe I'll have something special for you tonight too."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Picard: "This is Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Federation starship Enterprise."
Macet: "I am Gul Macet of the Cardassian ship Tragor."
Picard: "Why have you fired on us?"
Macet: "Curious question, Captain.  In *war* one attacks one's enemies."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Picard: "Gul Macet, the Federation and the Cardassians have struggled too hard
  for peace...to abandon it so easily."
Macet: "*We* are not the ones who have abandoned it, captain."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Hayden: "Jean-Luc, I don't have to tell you the Federation is not prepared for a
  new sustained conflict.  You *must* preserve the peace, no matter what the
  cost."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Picard: "Captain's Log, Supplemental.  We have entered Cardassian territory and
  are proceeding on our quest to locate the Phoenix."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

O'Brien: "But who I choose to spend my free time with...that's my business."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Keiko: "What's what you're singing?"
O'Brien: "What?  Oh, it's just a little song.  A bunch of us used to sing it
  together on the Rutledge.  I hadn't thought about it in years."
Keiko: "What's it about?"
O'Brien: "Oh, it's about war...and glory."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Keiko: "*What* are these little dark things?"
O'Brien: "Capers."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Picard: "Gul Macet, you see we are doing everything in our power to reach the
  Phoenix."
Macet: "Yes, and accomplishing nothing, I'm sorry to say."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Picard: "Mister Data, estimated time to intercept with the Phoenix."
Data: "At our present speed of warp four, sixteen hours, forty-four minutes."
Picard: "Ensign, increase to warp nine."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Picard: "I think, when one has been angry for a very long time, one gets used to
  it.  And it becomes comfortable like...like old leather.  And finally...feels
  so humiliated one can't remember feeling any other way."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

O'Brien: "The only people left alive were in an outlying district of the
  settlement.  I was sent there with a squad to reinforce them.  Cardassians
  were advancing on us.  Moving through the streets, destroying, killing.  I was
  with a group of women and children, and two Cardassian soldiers burst in.  I
  stunned one of them...the other one jumped me.  We struggled.  One of the
  women threw me a phaser, and I fired.  The phaser was set at maximum.  The man
  just...just incinerated there before my eyes.  I'd never killed anything
  before.  When I was a kid I'd, I'd worry about swatting a mosquito.  It's not 
  you I hate, Cardassian.  I hate what I became because of you."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Macet: "There are those who...crave war, who need it.  I am not one of them,
  Captain.  And I am beginning to see...that neither are you.  We have had our
  full measure.  The lasting peace begins here...with the two of us."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44429.6

Picard: "Captain's Log, Stardate 44431.7.  We have estabished communication with
  Captain Maxwell and he has agreed to come on board."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Riker: "Welcome aboard, sir.  I'm Commander Riker, first officer."
Maxwell: "I know all about you, commander.  Fine work you did with the Borg.  We
  all owe you on that one."
Riker: "Thank you, sir."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Maxwell: "O'Brien?  Miles O'Brien?"
O'Brien: "Hello, captain.  Good to see you again."
Maxwell: "How are you?  I had no idea you were on the Enterprise.  This is my
  tactical officer on the Rutledge.  Best I ever had."
O'Brien: "Thank you, sir."
Maxwell: "O'Brien has the ability to size up a situation instantly.  Then come
  up with options to fit all contingencies.  Remarkable."
O'Brien: "Well if that's true, I learned it from you, sir."
Maxwell: [Laughs]  "But you got that silver tongue by kissing the stone, right?"
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Maxwell: "You must think I've gone mad."
Picard: "The thought had occured."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7
 
Maxwell: "Picard, I have to tell you.  I was grateful when I realized it was you
  Starfleet had sent after me.  Someone who knows what it's really like out
  here."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Maxwell: "Smells musty around here...like a bureaucrat's office!"
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Picard: "You have killed nearly seven hundred people.  And you have taken us to
  the brink of war."
Maxwell: "I have *prevented* war!  Or at the very least delayed it a good long
  time."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Maxwell: "You're a fool, Picard.  History will look at you, and say, 'This man
  was a fool.'"
Picard: "I'll accept the judgement of history."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Picard: "We're not going after any more Cardassian ships.  You're going to
  return to your bridge...and set a course for Starbase 211.  The Phoenix and
  the Enterprise will return to Federation space together.  Those are
  Starfleet's orders.  I will...permit you the dignity of retaining your command
  during the voyage.  But the only alternative is to put you in the Brig, and
  tow your ship back to the starbase in disgrace."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Picard: "Captain's Log, Supplemental.  With the Phoenix in close formation, we
  are proceeding directly to Starbase 211."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Maxwell: "The Cardassians live to make war."
O'Brien: "That's what everybody thinks about the enemy."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Maxwell: "You were on Cetleg.  You saw what they did."
O'Brien: "Yes, sir."
Maxwell: "What was the name of that fellow who always hung around you like a
  puppy?"
O'Brien: "Will Kaden.  'Stompy'."
Maxwell: "'Stompy'!  'Stomp...'"  [Laughs]  "Was cool under fire as a mountain
  lake."
O'Brien: "Yes, sir."
Maxwell: "He died at Cetleg, didn't he?"
O'Brien: "Yes, sir."
Maxwell: "What was that song of his?  One he always sang?  One I liked?"
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

O'Brien: "'The minstrel boy to the war has gone,
	   in the ranks of death you will find him.'"
Maxwell and O'Brien: "'His father's sword he hath girded on,
		       and his wild harp slung behind him.
		       Lands of songs said the warrior-bard,
		       though all the world betrays thee.
		       One sword at least thy rights shall guard,
		       one faithful harp shall praise thee.'"
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Maxwell: "I'm not going to win this one, am I, Chief?"
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Picard: "Captain's Log, Supplemental.  Captain Maxwell has turned his ship over
  to his first officer and transported aboard the Enterprise.  I have confined
  him to quarters for the return voyage."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Macet: "Well, his loyalty is admirable...even if it is misplaced."
Picard: "The loyalty that you would so quickly dismiss does not come easily with
  my people, Gul Macet.  You have much to learn about us."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Picard: "Benjamin Maxwell *earned* the loyalty of those who served with him.
  You know in war, he was twice honored with the Federation's highest citation
  for courage and valor.  And if he could not find a role for himself in peace,
  we can pity him, but we shall not dismiss him."
Macet: "You are welcome to your opinion, Captain.  I, for one, am grateful that
  he is under lock and key."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Picard: "One more thing, Gul Macet.  Maxwell was right.  Those ships were not
  carrying scientific equipment, were they?  A research station, within arm's
  reach of three Federation sectors?  Cargo ships running with high energy
  subspace fields that jam sensors?"
Macet: "If you believe that the transport ship was carrying weapons, Captain,
  why didn't you board it as Maxwell had requested?"
Picard: "I was here to protect the peace.  A peace that I firmly believe is in
  the interest of both our peoples.  I had attempted to board that ship, I'm
  quite certain that both sides would now be arming for war."
Macet: "Captain, I assure you..."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7
 
Picard: "Take this message to your leaders, Gul Macet...we'll be watching."
--"The Wounded", Stardate 44431.7

Durken: "I will have to say that this morning, I was the leader of the universe
  as I knew it.  This afternoon, I am only a voice in a chorus.  But I think it

Troi: "You've made tremendous progress."
Barclay: "I, uh, I, I guess."
Troi: "Don't you think so?"
Barclay: "Well, I just feel more comfortable, uh, playing somebody else.  And
  maybe all of this, is, is, is not any better than, eh, escaping in, into a
  Holodeck fantasy."
Troi: "I disagree.  This isn't fantasy, it's theatre.  You used to withdraw onto
  the Holodeck.  You isolated yourself inside your own imagination avoiding
  contact with real people.  Look at yourself now.  Look at all the other people
  you're with.  You're not just acting, you're *interacting*.
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate Unknown

Troi: "Give yourself some credit, Mister Barclay."
Barclay: "Maybe...you're right."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate Unknown

Picard: "Captain's Log, Stardate 44704.2.  We have arrived at the Argus Array, a
  remote subspace telescope at the very edge of Federation space.  The unmanned
  structure mysteriously stopped relaying its data nearly two months ago."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44704.2

Barclay: "Commander..."
LaForge: "Yeah, Reg?"
Barclay: "Thanks for uh, assigning me to this mission."
LaForge: "Don't mention it.  You're one of my top engineers, it's about time you
  got in on some of the interesting stuff."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44704.2
  
LaForge: "This...this is why I'm in Starfleet."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44704.2

Picard: "Captain's Log, Supplemental.  An intense energy surge from the alien
  probe has severely disabled the shuttle's onboard computer.  The Away Team has
  been transported directly to Sickbay, where Lieutenant Barclay remains under
  observation."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44704.2

Barclay: "You shouldn't have to wait too long for the results."
Beverly: "What do you mean?"
Barclay: "Couldn't you use a global mode in your scanner?  It would be a lot
  faster."
Beverly: "That's not possible.  We're talking about human cells here, not
  isolinear circuits.  I think you'd better stick to Engineering, Lieutenant."
Barclay: "A cell has an electromagnetic signature, just as a circuit element
  does.  Theoretically, it should work, with just a few adjustments.  I could
  set it up for you if you like."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44704.2

Picard: "I'm willing to entertain suggestions."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44704.2

Barclay: "Lieutenant Barclay to Captain Picard, you can fire photon torpedoes,
  maximum yield, full spread."
Riker: "We're too close."
Barclay: "I'm certain the shields will hold."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44704.2

LaForge: "I don't know how he did it, but shield strength has been increased by
  three-hundred percent!  That should be enough, Captain."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44704.2

Picard: "Thank you, Mister Barclay."
Barclay: "You're welcome, Captain.  Barclay out."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44704.2

Barclay: "I'm sorry if I overstepped my authority."
LaForge: "Don't mention it."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44704.2

Picard: "Captain's Log, Stardate 44705.3.  The Enterprise has destroyed the
  alien probe, but now we are left with the difficult task of repairing the
  Argus Telescope.  Failure to do so would represent an incalculable scientific
  loss."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Riker: "Mister Barclay, everyone is still trying to figure out exactly how you
  did it."
Barclay: "Well, it just occurred to me that I could set up a frequency harmonic
  between the deflector and the shield grid, using the warp-field generator as a
  power-flow anti-attainguator, and that of course, naturally created an
  amplification of the inherent energy output."
Riker: "Uh-huh, I see that."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Data: "A standard isolation procedure would be advisable."
LaForge: "I agree.  We'll cut off each reactor from the damaged control system,
  and repair them one-by-one."
Riker: "How long will that take?"
LaForge: "Two to three weeks, at least."
Picard: "All right, Mister LaForge."
Barclay: "I don't agree."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Barclay: "We could repair all of the reactors, simultaneously, instead of 'one-
  by-one'."
Picard: "'Simultaneously'?  All eighteen?"
Barclay: "Yes."
LaForge: "But the Argus computer is inoperable"
Barclay: "Not entirely.  The core memory is still intact.  We could program a
  completely new control system."
Data: "An interesting suggestion, Lieutenant.  However, that approach would
  require more time than our original plan.  At least seven weeks."
Barclay: "I could have it ready for you in two days."
Riker: "What?!"
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Beverly: "That was a real improvement!"
Barclay: "Same time?  Day after tomorrow?"
Beverly: "'Same time'."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Troi: "Reg?  May I join you?"
Barclay: "Of course, please.  Sit down, Counselor."
Troi: "Hard at work."
Barclay: "I'm getting prepared for tomorrow's meeting in Engineering.  We're
  planning our repair strategy."
Troi: "I really enjoyed the scene you just performed."
Barclay: "Hmm.  You're a very forgiving audience."
Troi: "Not at all.  I thought you were brilliant."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Troi: "You've changed."
Barclay: "Is that a professional opinion?"
Troi: "Yes, pure observation."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Troi: "I'm proud of you, Reg.  I'm glad for you too."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Troi: "I'd better be going."
Barclay: "Must you?"
Troi: I think so."
Barclay: "Wouldn't you like to take a walk with me...to the Arboretum?  The
  Zamenes should be in bloom."
Troi: "Reg, as your former counselor, I don't think it would be appropriate."
Barclay: "I don't need a counselor.  What I need is the company of a charming,
  intelligent woman."
Troi: "Good night."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Einstein: "G, Sub-I, J, of T, as T approaches infinity.  Hmm?"
Barclay: "G, of T, over G-Lot."
Einstein: "Thirty?  So it is!  So it is!"
Barclay: "But I still don't see how you're going to incorporate quantum
  principle into general relativity, without guessing the cosmological constant
  a lot more than you're doing here."
Einstein: "But if you increase the value, as you suggest, then you face the
  possibility of twenty-six dimensions instead of ten."
Barclay: "I don't think I could deal with that."
Einstein: "I certainly could not.  [Laughs]
Barclay: "If the semi-set curved into the subatomic, the infinities might cancel
  each other out!"
Einstein: "Good Scott!  They just might!"
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

LaForge: "What was that all about?"
Barclay: "I had some ideas late last night.  I needed to consult with the
  computer about some quantum-electrodynamic calculatons.  A Holodeck-Einstein
  program seemed like the best way.  I guess I went a little overboard!"
LaForge: "'A little'?  Most of the stuff on that blackboard was way out of my
  league.  And yours too."
Barclay: "Not really.  I just hadn't thought along those lines before.  It's all
  really pretty evident now, and if you were to put your mind to it, I
  suppose--"
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

LaForge: "Reg, ever since our run-in with that probe something's different about
  you."
Barclay: "What?  Because I'm beginning to behave like the rest of the crew?
  With confidence in what I'm doing?"
LaForge: "You just spent the entire night arguing grand unification theories
  with Albert Einstein!"
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

LaForge: "Reg, something's wrong with you.  And we can't ignore that."
Barclay: "Yes, but I've finally become the person I've always wanted to be.  Do
  we have to ask why?"
LaForge: "Yeah, I think we do."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Beverly: "I couldn't even *guess* at your I.Q. level now."
Barclay: "Probably somewhere between twelve-hundred and fourteen-fifty."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Beverly: "Lieutenant, you could very well be the most advanced human being who
  has ever lived."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

LaForge: "What's he done?  I mean, we're talking about locking a man up for
  being too smart."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "Has Mister Barclay done anything that could be considered...potentially
  threatening?"
Troi: "Well, he did make a pass at me last night...a good one!"
LaForge: "I'd hardly consider that a threat."
Troi: "No, but it's certainly unusual behavior for Barclay."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Beverly: "There's something else, Captain.  He taught violin technique at the
  music school last night."
Riker: "I didn't know Barclay played the violin."
Beverly: "He *didn't*.  Not until last night."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "Until he does something more...menacing, I see no reason why we should
  prevent him from continuing his work."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Riker: "You said he made a pass at you, but you failed to mention whether he was
  successful or not."
Troi: [Just smiles]
Riker: [Looks at Beverly]
Beverly: [Just smiles]

Barclay: "Computer, begin new program.  Create as follows, workstation here.
  Now, create a standard alpha-numeric console positioned for the left hand.
  Now, an iconic-display console positioned for the right hand.  Tie both
  consoles into the Enterprise main computer core utilizing neural scan
  interface."
Computer: "There is no such device on file."
Barclay: "No problem.  Here's how you build it."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "Computer, respond."
Barclay: "I *am* responding, sir.  I'm sorry if I caused you any alarm.  It was
  necessary in order to secure the array."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Riker: "Barclay!  Barclay?  What's going on?  Barclay!"
Barclay: "Yes, Commander, it's me."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Barclay: "I'm sorry, Captain.  I was only trying to help."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Barclay: "Our computer was too slow to compensate for the overload on the array,
  so I created an interface that communicated my thoughts directly to the
  central processing unit."
Riker: "Exactly what does that mean?"
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "Mister Barclay, remove yourself from the computer system.  Leave the
  Holodeck."
Barclay: "I'm afraid I can't do that, sir."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Barclay: "My primary and cerebral functions are now operating almost entirely
  from within the computer.  They have expanded to such a degree that it would
  be *impossible* to return to the confines of my human brain.  Any attempt to
  do so would mean my death."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

LaForge: "That's it.  I've disconnected the audio and visual pickups.  We can
  talk without being monitored by the computer."
Worf: "By *Barclay*."

LaForge: "It is almost impossible to tell where Barclay ends and the computer
  begins."

Riker: "How do we get him out of there?"
LaForge: "We don't.  Not without killing him."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "This is an intolerable situation.  I have no wish to harm him, but I
  cannot allow Mister Barclay to continue to act as the computer.  I don't care
  how smart he is."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "Make it so."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

LaForge: "How're you doing?"
Barclay: "I wish I could convey to you what it's like for me now...what I've
  become."
LaForge: "Yeah?  Try."
Barclay: "I can conceive almost infinite possibilites and can fully explore each
  of them in a nanosecond!  I perceive the universe as a single equation and it
  is so simple!"
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3
  
Barclay: "I understand."
LaForge: "You 'understand'?"
Barclay: "Everything!"
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

LaForge: "Well, do you understand how this happened to you?"
Barclay: "I believe it is a gift, that I have been chosen to fulfill a great
  promise."
LaForge: "Uh-huh."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Barclay: "Do you suppose this has changed the way people think about me?"
LaForge: "Well, to tell you the truth, Reg, we don't know what to think."
Barclay: "I have been concerned about that, but soon everyone will be able to
  understand what I can do for humanity!"
LaForge: "What do you mean?"
Barclay: "We have always perceived that the maximum speed of the Enterprise was
  a function of warp.  But I know now, there are no limits.  We will explore new
  worlds that we could never before have reached in our own lifetime.  *I* will
  take us to them."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "Mister Barclay, this is a direct order.  Discontinue whatever it is
  you're doing."
Barclay: "I really would rather not, sir."

Troi: "Reg..."
Barclay: "I'm sorry we can't take that walk at the Arboretum."
Troi: "So am I."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Troi: "Reg, you've frightened all of us.  I'm sure that wasn't your intent."
Barclay: "Young children are sometimes frightened of the world.  That doesn't
  mean that their parents should let them stay in their cribs."

Troi: "We don't need any more convincing.  Please, obey the captain's orders.
  Stop whatever it is you're doing."
Barclay: "You must trust me."
Troi: "How can we trust an officer who doesn't follow orders?"
Barclay: "Trust me."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Troi: "The captain will do everything in his power to stop you."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Barclay: "Commander..."
LaForge: "What?"
Barclay: "You're too late."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Worf: "Sir, we're going in."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "Disconnect Mister Barclay from the computer."
Worf: "Aye, Captain."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Barclay: "I want you to know, Lieutenant Worf, that I understand your duty in
  this matter..."
Worf: "Phasers, maximum setting."
Barclay: "...and that I will in no way take your actions personally."

Data: "We are experiencing a quantum-level oscillation delay."

Cytherian: "...Electrochemical stimulus response, cranial plate, bipedal
  locomotion, endoskeletal...contiguous external antigument!  Hmm."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard, of the Federation Starship Enterprise."
Cytherian: "Hierarchical collective command structure!"
Picard: "Who are you?"
Cytherian: "Interrogative!"
Picard: "I am 'interrogative', yes!"
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "And I would appreciate an explantion."
Barclay: "I think I can help you with that, Captain."
Riker: "Mister Barclay!  I thought it would be fatal if you left the Holodeck."
Barclay: "The Cytherians have reintegrated me, sir."
Cytherian: "'Cytherians', mmm-hmm."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "What do you want of us?"
Cytherian: "The same as you...as one."
Picard: "Mister Barclay..."
Barclay: "You're both on the same mission, Captain."
Picard: "'Mission'?"
Barclay: "Yes, sir.  The Cytherians are exploring the galaxy, just as we are.
  The only difference is that they never leave their home.  They bring others
  here.  Their only wish, an exchange of knowledge.  They want to know us!"
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44705.3

Picard: "Captain's Log, Stardate 44721.9.  After ten days in the company of the
  Cytherians, the Enterprise has been safely returned to Federation space.  We
  bring back knowledge of their race that will take our scholars decades to
  examine.  Lieutenant Barclay is apparently no worse for his experience."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44721.9

Troi: "So how much do you remember?"
Barclay: "I, I, I remember doing everything.  I just don't remember how or why!"
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44721.9

Troi: "How do you feel now?"
Barclay: "Smaller."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44721.9

LaForge: "Just plain old Barclay, huh?"
Barclay: "It always seems to come back to that, doesn't it?"
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44721.9

Troi: "You know, almost everyone has a moment in their lives when they exceed
  their own limits, achieve what seems to be impossible."
LaForge: "The tricky part is what happens afterwards."
Troi: "You almost always feel a sense of loss.  But it is possible to carry
  something of that experience through the rest of your life in ways that you're
  not even aware of now."
Barclay: "I, uh, I think I know what you're saying."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44721.9

LaForge: "Either way, Reg, you're an important part of this crew.  In fact, I
  could really use your help with that Level Three Diagnostic."
Barclay: "Sure."
Troi: "Excuse me, Commander, but um, I believe Mister Barclay and I have a date
  scheduled, for a walk in the Arboretum?"
LaForge: "The diagnostic can wait.  I'll see you later."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44721.9

Barclay: "You really, you really don't have to do that."
Troi: "I know."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44721.9

Barclay: "May I?  Checkmate in nine moves."
Troi: "I didn't know you played chess."
Barclay: "I don't."
--"The Nth Degree", Stardate 44721.9

Q: "I would've died back then had it not been for you."
Picard: "We all make mistakes."

Worf: "Sir, I protest, I am not a merry man!"
--"Qpid", Stardate 44

Data: "Counselor, I believe your aim is improving."
--"Qpid", Stardate 44

Guy: "I am the greatest swordsman in all of Nottingham!"
Picard: "There's something you should know."
Guy: "And what might that be?"
Picard: "I'm not from Nottingham!"

Data: "Honey?  I'm home!"
