  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."

  is always the time and place for those feelings."

--Bochra and LaForge, "The Enemy", Stardate 43

Bochra: "If the situation were reversed, would you not die to avoid capture?"
LaForge: "I don't know, Imight.  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?"
--Bochra and LaForge, "The Enemy", Stardate 43

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 and Picard, "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."
--Picard, "The Enemy", Stardate 43

Tomalak: "I assure you, I intend no deception."
Picard: "Of course not."

  Such as powering down your disruptors."
--Tomalak and Picard, "The Enemy", Stardate 43

Riker: "Close call."

--Troi, "The Price", Stardate 43

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?"

  have agreed that one representative will suffice.  Now, I will be happy to
  provide your counsels with accommodations, and you may have my chair."
--Daimon Goss, Picard, and Worf, "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?"

Rai: "You know why."
--Devinoni Rai and Troi, "The Price", Stardate 43

Riker: "Poker?  That a game of some sort?"
--Doctor Mendoza and Riker, "The Price", Stardate 43

  crippling will suffice."
--Daimon Goss, "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."
--Devinoni Rai and Troi, "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?"
--Riker and Picard, "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."
--Devinoni Rai, "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 los 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.e
Beverly and Troi: "Nah."
--Beverly and Troi, "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."
--Riker, "The Price", Stardate 43

Worf: "You're ambushes would be more successful if you bathed more often."
--Worf, "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."
--Yuta and Riker, "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."
--Riker and Yuta, "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."
--Yuta and Riker, "The Vengeance Factor", Stardate 43

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Worf: "Danar.  You are cunning.  You must have Klingon blood."
--Worf, "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."
--Nayrok and Roga Danar, "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."
--Picard, "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."
--Picard, Worf, and Riker, "The High Ground", Stardate 43

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

Devos: "In a world where children blow up children, everyone's a threat."
--Alexana Devos, "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."
--Picard and Beverly, "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."
--Alexana Devos and Riker, "The High Ground", Stardate 4

Q: "Red alert."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "*These* aren't my colors!"
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "I stand before you defrocked.  Condemned to be a member of this lowest of
  species.  A normal, imperfect, lumpen human being."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Data: "Sir, he is reading as fully human."
Q: "What is there, an echo in here?"
Troi: "I am sensing an emotional presence, Captain.  I would normall describe it
  as being terrified."
Q: "How rude."
--Data, Q, and Troi, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "I have no powers.  Q, the ordinary."
Picard: "Q, the miserable, Q, the misanthrope."
Q: "Q, the powerless, Q, the desperate!  What must I do to convince you people?"
Worf: "Die."
Q: "Oh, very clever, Worf.  Eat any good books lately?"
--Q, Picard, and Worf, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Picard: "Mister Worf, throw him in the Brig."
Worf: "Delighted, Captain."
--Picard and Worf, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Worf: "You will walk or I will carry you."
Q: "Given the option, I'll...I'll walk."
--Worf and Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "Hey, I'm claustrophobic in here."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

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*."
--Q and Worf, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "'Klingon'!  I should have said 'Klingon'.  In my heart of hearts, I am a
  Klingon."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Worf: "Be quiet!  Or disappear back where you came from."
Q: "I can't disappear...any more than you can win a beauty contest."
--Worf and Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 4

Q: "Oh, perspicacity incarnate.  Please don't feel compelled now to tell me the
  story of 'The Boy Who Cried Worf'."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "How can I know what's going on?  I've been in this dungeon of yours, alone,
  helpless, *bored to tears*."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

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 ofme.  I lost consciousness."
Picard: "You fell asleep."
--Q and Picard, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "This is getting on my nerves, now that I have them!"
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

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."
--Picard and Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

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."
--Q and Data, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

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."
--Q, Data, and LaForge, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Data: "Can you recommend a way to counter the effect?"
Q: "Simple.  Change the gravitational constant of the universe."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

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?"
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."
--LaForge, Q, and Data, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "Ah, Doctor Crusher, I see Starfleet has shipped you back into exile."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "I've been under a lot of pressure lately...family problems."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

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."
--Q and Beverly, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

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 bio-functions."
Q: "That doesn't sound very appealing."
--Q and Data, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

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: "Although I do not speak from experience, I have seen it have a profound
  effect."
--Q and Data, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "I'll have *ten* chocolate sundaes."
Bartender: "Ten?"

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."
--Data and Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Guinan: "I hear they drummed you out of the Continuum."
Q: "I'd like to think of it as a significant career change."
--Guinan and Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 4

Guinan: "Just one of the boys, eh?"
Q: "'Just one of the boys' with an IQ of 2005."
--Guinan and Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "OW!"
Guinan: "Seems human enough to me."
--Q and Guinan, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "The robot who teaches the course in Humanities."
Data: "I am an android, not a robot."
Q: "I beg your pardon."
--Q and Data, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "Help me!  Somebody help me!"
Guinan: "How the mighty have fallen."
--Q and Guinan, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Picard: "What did you do to them, Q?"
Q: "Oh, nothing bizarre, nothing grotesque."
--Picard and Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "One creature's torment is another creature's delight."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "They simply have no sense of humor.  A character flaw with which you can
  personally identify."
Riker: "I say we hand him over to them."
Q: "Oh, well, I take it back.  You do have a sense of humor, a dreadful one at
  that."
--Q and Riker, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "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."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "I'm not good in groups.  It's difficult to work in groups when you're
  omnipotent."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "Who does he think he is, giving me orders?"
Data: "Geordi thinks he is in command here, and he is correct."
--Q and Data, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

LaForge: "Shut up, Q!"
--LaForge, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Picard: "You have brought nothing but pain and suffering to this crew and I am
  still not entirely convinced that this isn't 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."
--Picard and Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

LaForge: "Commander, he's not worth it."
--LaForge, "Deja Q", Stardate 4

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 are missing nothing.  But if it
  means anything to you, you're a better human than I."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

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: PYes, I suppose you're right.  Death of a coward then, so be it.  But as a
  human, I would have died of boredom."
--Q and Picard, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Picard: "It's a perfectly good shuttlecraft."
--Picard, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "I always thought you were in my corner."
Q2: "Ah, no.  See, actually I was the one who got you kicked out."
--Q and Q2, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

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."
--Q2 and Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Q: "I've learned my lesson, Q."

  I'm immortal again!  Omnipotent again!"
Riker: "Swell."

Q: "Oh, you're so stolid!  You weren't like that before the beard."
--Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Picard: "Perhaps there's a residue of humanity in Q after all.  Ensign, en--"
Q: "Don't bet on it, Picard."
--Picard and Q, "Deja Q", Stardate 43

Guinan: "It's an Earth drink.  Prune juice."
Worf: "Warrior's drink!"
--Worf, "Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

Guinan: "You always drink alone.  It wouldn't hurt yhou to seek out a little...
  companionship."
Worf: "I would require a Klingon woman for...companionship.  Earth females are
  too fragile."
Guinan: "Not all of them.  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."
--Worf and Guinan, "Yesterday's Enterprise", Stardate 43

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

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

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

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

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

Klingon: "Federation ship, surrender and prepare to be boarded."

Guinan: "Geordi, tell me about...Tasha Yar."

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?"
--Troi, Wesley, and LaForge, "The Offspring", Stardate 43

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

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

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

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

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

Lal: "Why is the sky black?"
--Lal, "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."
--Lal, "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?"
--Data and Beverly, "The Offspring", Stardate 43

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

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."
--Lal and Guinan, "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'."
--Lal and Guinan, "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."
--Lal and Guinan, "The Offspring", Stardate 43

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

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

Haftel: "She is capable of running sixty-trillion calculations a second, and you
  have her working as a cocktail waitress."
--Admiral Haftel, "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."
--Admiral Haftel and Lal, "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."
--Troi and Lal, "The Offspring", Stardate 43
Lal: "This is what it means to feel.  This is what...means...feel."
--Lal, "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."
--Data, "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."
--Picard, "The Offspring", Stardate 43

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

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

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."
--Picard, "Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.2

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

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

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

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

Worf: "It is too dangerous, you must not go alone."
Picard: "Hey, I'm your cha'DIch."
--Worf and Picard, "Sins Of The Father", Stardate 43685.

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

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

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

Riker: "I told you he'd have a great time."
--Riker, "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."
--Lieutenant Barclay, "Hollow Pursuits", Stardate 43

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

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

Picard: "'He was a man...take him for all in all...we shall not look upon his
  like again.'"
--Picard, "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."
--Data, "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."
--Admiral Hanson, "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."
--Data, "The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

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

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

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

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

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

LaForge: "Move it people, let's move it!"
--LaForge, "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."
--Picard and Guinan, "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."
--Lieutenant Commander Shelby, "The Best Of Both Worlds", Stardate 43

Beverly: "Jean-Luc..."
--Beverly, "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!"
--Lieutenant Commander Shelby, Riker, and Worf, "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."
--Beverly and Riker, "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*."
