Locutus: "Picard implicitly trusted you."

Sarek: "Yes! I'm sure he did. In fact, I recall Spock coming to me with optimism about maintaining a continual *dialogue* with the Romulans.

Data: "It is perplexing to me that the Ullians' ability to retrieve memory is so highly prized. If an event were important enough to be recovered, why would it have been forgotten?"
LaForge: "Well, it's not quite the same for us as it is for you, Data. You record every second of every moment of your life."
Data: "That is correct."
LaForge: "And then if you want to recall anyone of those moments, you just access the proper memory circuit."
Data: "My understanding of the human brain suggests the process is the same for you. Each memory is encoded in chains of molecules. If you want to retrieve it you simply access the proper RNA sequence."
LaForge: "Yeah, that's true."
Data: "Then in what way is it different?"
LaForge: "Sometimes there are memories we just can't access at the spur of the moment. For instance, I have no recollection of how I'd spent my last birthday. Birthdays are important occasions, and you would think that I remember how I spent the day. Right now, I can't even remember...where I was."

LaForge: "No, sometimes the bad memories can be the most intense of all."

Beverly: "I hear you've been accepted to the Academy. I have a son there."
Rogers: "Oh. Being posted on the Enterprise, I guess you don't get to see him very often."
Beverly: "No, not as much as I'd like."

Rogers: "Did you have any other children?"
Beverly: "My husband died a number of years ago, Wes was our only child."
Rogers: "Was he old enough to know his father?"
Beverly: "Jack died when he was five."
Rogers: "My parents died when I was a baby too. I don't remember anything about them. Sometimes I wonder what they were like."

Rogers: "Hard to imagine how much energy is harnessed in there."
Data: "Imagination is not necessary. The scale is readily quantifiable. We are presently generating twelve-point-seven-five billion gigawatts per--"

Picard: "Commander, have you been able to determine the cause of the warp breach?"
LaForge: "No, sir. Everything was normal, and then, suddenly, it's like the laws of physics went right out the window."
Q: [Flash] "And why shouldn't they? They're so inconvenient."

Picard: "Are you responsible for this incident in Engineering?"
Q: "Of course! I needed to find out if what I suspected about the girl were true."
Picard: "That being..."
Q: "That she's Q."

Troi: "Amanda's a Q?"
Beverly: "How is that possible? Her, her parents, her biological parents were human!"
Q: "Well, not exactly. They had *assumed* human form, in order in visit Earth, I suppose, for, for amusement. But in *vulgar* human fashion, they proceeded to conceive a child." [Winks at Beverly] "And then like markish humans, they became attached to it."

Q: "What is it about these *squirming* little infants that you find so appealing?"
Beverly: "I'm sure that's beyond your comprehension, Q."
Q: "I desparately hope so."

Q: "None of us knew whether she had inherited the capacities of the Q, but recently they've become to emerge, and uh, as an expert in humanity, I was sent to investigate."
Riker: "You? An expert in humanity."
Q: "Not a very *challenging* field of study, I grant you."

LaForge: "Are you saying that you created a core breach just to...*test* this girl?"
Q: "Uh-huh."
Troi: "What would have happened if she couldn't stop it?"
Q: "Then I would've known that she wasn't a Q!"

Q: "If this child does not learn how to control her powers, she accidentally destroy herself. Or all of you! Or perhaps your entire galaxy!"
Picard: "I find it hard to believe that you're here to do us a favor."
Q: "You're quite right, I wouldn't. But there are those in the Qontinuum, who have an *overexaggerated* sense of responsibility. They think that we need to take precautions to the little dear from running amok."
-- "True Q", Stardate 46193.8 %
Beverly: "And once you've taught her, then you'll go away?"
Q: "And leave her here? Of course not! She'll come back to the Qontinuum where she belongs."

Beverly: "Wait a minute! You, you can't just come in here and take her away from everything she's ever known!"
Q: [Laughs] "I assure you I can."

Beverly: "She has plans for herself! A career and a family!"
Q: "I'm *rescuing* her from that miserable existence."

Beverly: "That 'miserable' existence is all she's known for the last eighteen years. You have *no* right to take her away from it!"
Q: "Mon capitan, I *really* think we need to speak privately."

Q: "Well, there now, that's better. Crusher gets more shrill with each passing year."

Picard: "Q, what is it you really want?"
Q: "Well since you know so much about the Q, I thought you'd be the perfect person to introduce me to the child. Let her know that she can...trust me."
-- "True Q", Stardate 46193.8 %
Picard: "I don't trust you, Q. Why should I expect Amanda to?"
Q: "Well, she'd better, because I'm all she's got. She needs me to help her prepare for her future with the Q."
Picard: "But what if she doesn't want that future? It must be her decision!"
Q: "Oh, *yes*, *yes*, *yes*!"
-- "True Q", Stardate 46193.8 %
Q: "Do you think that she will want to remain an emfeebled mortal?"
Picard: "But if she really is Q, she must understand what that means."
-- "True Q", Stardate 46193.8 %
Picard: "Very well, I will introduce you. But...we cannot argue like this in front of her. We must at least appear to be..."
Q: [Embraces Picard] "Pals?"

Q: "Very impressive the way you contained that explosion. What else have you done?"
Rogers: "I, I don't understand."
Q: "Telekinesis, teleportation," [Looks at Picard] "Spontaneous combustion of someone you don't like. That sort of thing?"

Q: "She has *potential*, this one."

Rogers: "I, I don't want to go anywhere."
Q: "Don't worry. With time you'll overcome the disadvantages you suffered as a child. No one will hold it against you for having been human."

Rogers: "Leave me alone! I'm not going anywhere with you!"
