3 | |
4 | * One of the best opening lines. |
5 | -->'''Riker''': Our guests have arrived. They are eating the floral arrangements on the banquet tables. \ |
6 | '''Crusher''': I guess they don't believe in cocktails before dinner. \ |
7 | '''Troi''': Oh, my God. Are they vegetarian? That's not in there! \ |
8 | '''Picard''': Perhaps we should have the chef whip up a light balsamic vinaigrette-- Something that goes well with chrysanthemums. |
9 | * Picard needs to get real, or get a new neck. |
10 | -->'''Crusher''': You either need a new uniform or a new neck. \ |
11 | '''Picard''' (practicing a greeting in a foreign language) ''Euchene Chefaw''. My collar size is exactly as it was at the Academy. \ |
12 | '''Crusher''': Of course it is. |
13 | * In the event of a water landing, Data has been designed to serve as a flotation device. |
14 | * How do Picard and Worf distract a crazy android? By ''singing'', complete with FollowTheBouncingBall. |
15 | -->'''Picard''': Mr. Worf, do you know Creator/GilbertAndSullivan?\ |
16 | '''Worf''': ({{beat}}) No sir. I have not had a chance to meet all the new crew members since I have been back.\ |
17 | '''Picard''': ''([[{{Beat}} look of dismay]])'' They're composers, Worf, from the 19th century. Data was rehearsing a production of ''Theatre/HMSPinafore'' just before he left... Sing, Worf, sing.\ |
18 | '''Worf''': ''([[NoJustNoReaction shaking his head]])'' |
19 | ** What sells the scene is Worf's expression going from "WTF?" to near-panic and shaking his head "NO!" before finally joining in with an expression of "ThisCannotBe" |
20 | ** When Data is reactivated and Picard asks him what is the last thing he remembers, Data [[LiteralMinded immediately picks the song up where he left off]]. |
21 | *** "I seem to be missing several memory engrams." (Geordi presents Data with a handful of said components) "...There they are." |
22 | *** The funniest thing is that Geordi doesn't bat an eyelash at any of it. He's dealt with FAR weirder when treating Data. |
23 | * There's a really good bit when the bad guys decide to give up: |
24 | -->'''Lieutenant''': Sir, Ru'afo's ship is hailing us. \ |
25 | '''Picard and Riker''': On screen. (they exchange looks) \ |
26 | '''Worf''': (from the enemy ship) Captain, the Son'a crew would like to negotiate a cease-fire. It may have something to do with the fact that we have three minutes of air left. \ |
27 | '''Picard''': We have plenty over here, Mr. Worf. Prepare to beam aboard. |
28 | * "Have you noticed that your boobs have started to firm up?" - Data to Worf (Data had overheard Beverly and Deanna discussing the effects of the planet on them) |
29 | * "Definitely feeling aggressive tendencies, sir!" |
30 | * The moments between Data and Artim that aren't heartwarming - heck, even the funny moments are heartwarming! |
31 | -->'''Data''': I have to go home now.\ |
32 | '''Artim''': Bye. \ |
33 | '''Data''': Bye. |
34 | * After Deanna shaves off his beard, Riker meets up with Data and Picard on the way to the turbolift. At Data's startled look Riker remarks, to his clear consternation: |
35 | -->'''Riker''': Smooth as an android's bottom, eh, Data? |
36 | ** But what really sells it is a few minutes later, after they've finished catching up on current events, when Data asks to touch Riker's newly-shaved face - and then just shakes his head dismissively, and walks off. |
37 | ** According to Michael Piller, [[ThrowItIn Brent Spiner ad-libbed that]]. Everyone, including Piller, admitted it was much funnier than what was in the script. |
38 | * When the Son'a who are chasing the ''Enterprise'' hail them, Riker tries to bluff by saying that the transceiver is malfunctioning - and the Son'a call his bluff by firing a photon torpedo. |
39 | --> '''Riker:''' [[SarcasmMode Isn't that the universal greeting when communications are down?]]\ |
40 | '''Geordi:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I think it's the universal greeting when you don't like someone.]] |
41 | * Riker getting all horny for Troi, and her willing to accomodate him. . . to a point. |
42 | -->'''Troi''': Yuck!\ |
43 | '''Riker''': Yuck?\ |
44 | '''Troi''': I never kissed you with a beard before.\ |
45 | '''Riker''': I kiss you and you say "yuck?"\ |
46 | '''Troi''': ''(closes her cabin door in his face)'' |
47 | ** The entire scene is hilarious, from the moment Riker steps into Troi's quarters. |
48 | --->'''Riker:''' I need a little counseling.\ |
49 | '''Troi:''' Well, there's a first time for everything. |
50 | --->'''Riker:''' I think I'm having a midlife crisis. |
51 | --->'''Troi:''' I believe you. |
52 | ** Riker and Troi eventually decide to shave the beard--by taking a bath together--which is then interrupted by Worf relaying a message from Admiral Dougherty. Fortunately for Riker and Troi, it's audio only. |
53 | * When Worf greets Picard and Data in the transporter room, Picard notices a mark on Worf's nose and asks if he's been in a fight. Worf explains that it is a ''gorch''. |
54 | -->'''Picard:''' ''Gorch''?\ |
55 | '''Data:''' ''(whispering)'' [-Pimple, sir.-]\ |
56 | ''({{beat}})''\ |
57 | '''Picard:''' ''(awkwardly)'' Oh, well... it's hardly noticeable. |
58 | ** When Riker arrives to brief Picard, he notices the ''gorch'' and comments "Klingons never do anything small, do you?". Worf has a pained look that says "Fighting [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Jem'Hadar]] would be preferable to this". |
59 | * The Enterprise, piloted by a Riker on youth radiation, penetrates the shields of the enemy ship by flying about a dozen meters from its surface. |
60 | -->'''Enterprise E:''' ''(Flying on a collision course for the enemy ship)'' |
61 | -->'''Enemy Offficer:''' [[OhCrap ''He wouldn't!'']] |
