Anya says she has completed her task and cannot go with her . Salia comes to say goodbye to Wesley , but Wesley is hurt by her deception and asks her to leave . Anya and Salia have a heartfelt goodbye , and Wesley comes to the transporter room to say goodbye to Salia also , just before she beam s down in her true form , amazing Wesley . After she is beamed down by O ' Brien , Wesley , somewhat depressed , goes to Ten Forward where Guinan comforts him . Wesley tells her that he won ' t feel the same about another woman the way he felt about Salia . Guinan , to Wesley ' s surprise , agrees with him . She assures him that there will be other women but he will not feel the same love for another woman quite the same again . Wesley tells her that that doesn ' t make it any easier for him . Guinan remarks " " It ' s not supposed to . " " Memorable quotes . " " Oh , I don ' t know if she ' ll have time for you , Wes . She ' s destined to rule an entire world . " " " " Mr . Worf , have our passengers ' accommodations met with their approval ? " " " " I doubt if anything ever meets with that woman ' s approval . " " " " I don ' t think this is my style . " " " " Shut up , kid . " " " " This child is supposed to bring them together . " " " " She seems too delicate for such a task . " " " " Do not be fooled by her looks . The body is just a shell . " " [ Worf makes a prolonged scream . ] " " That is how the Klingon lures a mate . " " " " Are you telling me to go yell at Salia ? " " " " No . Men do not roar . Women roar . . . and they hurl heavy objects . . . and claw at you . . . " " " " What does the man do ? " " " " He reads love poetry . " " [ Worf regains his composure . ] " " He ducks a lot . " " " " You underestimated me in your sickbay . That is usually fatal . " " " " Go to her door . Beg like a Human . " " " " Judging by her appearance , it is likely you and Salia are biologically compatible . Of course , there could be a difference in the histocompatibility complex in the cell membrane , but – " " " " Data , I want to meet her . Not dissect her . " " " " Seeing her on the transporter pad . . . It was like seeing pure light . " " Links and references .
