• A large portion of Zephram Cochrane's scenes, but especially:
  Geordi: (engages in long spiel about Cochrane's magnificent standing in 24th century history, and the giant, inspirational statue of him that will stand right where he is standing now)
  Cochrane: (beat) ...I gotta take a leak.
  Geordi: Leak? I don't see any leak.
  Cochrane: Don't you people in the 24th century ever pee?
  • Its also funny as part of Trek's subtle running gag of referring to the original Enterprise's comical lack of bathrooms.
• "You told him about the statue?"
• Drunken Troi.
  Deanna: Time line?! This is no time to argue about time! We don't have the time!... Look, he wouldn't even talk to me unless I had a drink with him. And then, it took three shots of something called "tequila" just to find out he was the one we're looking for. And I spent the last 20 minutes trying to keep his hands off me. So don't go criticizing my counseling technique... It's a primitive culture...I'm just trying to blend in.
  Riker: You're blended, all right.
  Deanna: What was I saying? *thud*
  • According to director (and cast member) Jonathan Frakes, Drunken Troi is worth the price of admission alone.
• Cochrane's initial reaction to the situation:
  Cochrane: Hot damn, you're heroic! *laughs*
  • After Cochrane becomes convinced of the truth, Riker goes on to explain how the approaching aliens will detect his warp flight and "land right here."
    Cochrane: Here?
    LaForge: Actually, over there.
• The Doctor gets probably the funniest "Facing the Bullets" One-Liner ever. "According to Starfleet medical research, Borg implants can cause severe skin irritation."
  • Perhaps he'd like an analgesic cream?
  • "I'm a doctor, not a doorstop."
• Lily: Borg? Sounds Swedish...
  • Later... "Definitely not Swedish."
• Worf's arrival to the bridge gives Riker a couple funny one-liners.
  "Tough little ship."
  "You do remember how to fire phasers?"
