O'Brien: "I hope these are the right coordinates...just kidding, Doctor. I know how much you love the transporter."
Dr. Pulaski: "About as much as I love comical transporter chiefs."
Picard: "Captain's log, stardate: 42976.1. During a geological survey on Surata IV, Commander Riker has become infected by an unidentified microbe."
Geordi: "Let it go for a second, Data. Let's try something. Maybe it likes humans more than androids."
Data: "If you are correct, you are placing yourself in grave danger."
Geordi: "Well, I'm counting on those great android--" (vine snaps, Data catches it) "--reflexes of yours..."
Picard: "Comfortable?"
Riker: "Why wouldn't I be comfortable? They're waiting on me hand and foot, I just hope they don't find out that I'm faking it."
Picard: "I wish you were faking it."
Picard: "What can I do?"
Dr. Pulaski: "You can get out of my hair."
Picard: "Aye, aye, Doctor."
 
Riker: "This bug is persistent, I'll admit that. But, I'm not worried, we Rikers are ornery, too. As a matter of fact, my great-grandfather once got bit by a rattlesnake. After three days of intense pain, the snake died."
Riker: "Dying's bad enough, but, to lose my sense of humour? Forget it!"
Dr. Pulaski: "Medical log, stardate: 42976.3. I can't keep the alien infection from spreading to Commander Riker's brain. Once there, it'll kill him by dampening neural impulses. The only way I can keep him alive is to force the neurons to stay active by stimulating them with electrical impulses."
Riker: "Do you consider yourself superior to us?"
Data: "I am superior, Sir, in many ways. But I would gladly give it up to be human."
Riker: "Nice to meet you, Pinocchio. A joke."
Data: "Ah! Intriguing."
Riker: "Guinan, I need your help, can you step over here, please?"
Guinan: "Sounds simple enough."
Riker: "Now, the first words out of your mouth are the most important, you may want to start with something like this: 'You are the most beautiful woman in the galaxy.' But, that might now work."
Guinan: "Yes! Yes it would."
Riker: "You don't know how long I've wanted to tell you that."
Guinan: "But you were afraid."
Riker: "Yes."
Guinan: "Of me?"
Riker: "Of us. Of what we might become."
Wesley: "Commander...?"
Riker: "Or that you might think it was a line."
Guinan: "Maybe I do think it's a line."
Riker: "Then you think I'm not sincere."
Guinan: "I didn't say that. There's nothing wrong with a line. It's like a knock at the door."
Riker: "Then you're inviting me in?"
Guinan: "I'm not sending you away."
Riker: "That's more than I expected."
Guinan: "Is it as much as you hoped?"
Riker: "To hope is to recognize the possibility. I had only dreams."
Guinan: "Dreams can be dangerous."
Riker: "Not these dreams. I dream of a galaxy where your eyes are the stars, and the universe worships the night."
Guinan: "Careful! Putting me on a pedestal so high, you might not be able to reach me."
Riker: "Then I'll learn how to fly. You are the heart of my day, and the soul of my night."
Wesley: "I don't think this is my style..."
Guinan: "Shut up, kid." (to Riker) "Tell me more about...my eyes..."






Riker: "I didn't want to leave without saying good-bye."
Troi: "I don't like good-byes. How about 'until next time'?"
Riker: "How about 'until next time'?"
Troi: "It's been a pleasure working with you, Commander."
Riker: "The feeling is mutual, Counselor."
Troi: "I'm supposed to know how everyone feels, but, I can't read you right now."

Riker: "Perhaps your own feelings are getting in the way?"
Troi: "My job is to help others sort out their emotions. My own feelings are beside the point."
Riker: "Not to me. Our feelings are what make us all human."
Troi: "Are you feeling sad?"
Riker: "Yes, I am."
Troi: "So am I."
Riker: "What's a knock out like you doing in a computer generated gin-joint like this?"
Minuet: "Waiting for you."
Riker: "Waiting for me? You can't be serious."
Minuet: "Oh yes, Will. I've never been more serious in my life."
Brenna: "William, is something wrong?"
Riker: "What do you mean?"
Brenna: "Do you not like girls?"
Riker
: "Of course I do. Oh is there a special technique to this foot washing?"
Brenna: "You generally start at the top and work your way down."
Riker: "I think I can handle that."
Picard: "Number One?"
Riker: "The creature attacked us. Lieutenant Yar is down!"
Data: "It seems to feed on our phaser energy."
Riker: "We had no affect on it."
Picard: "What's Lieutenant Yar's condition? Dr. Crusher, report!"
Dr. Crusher: "She's dead!"
Kargan: "This ship is equipped with our best weapons and our finest warriors. Although we are on a peaceful mission we are ready to go into battle instantly. I know I can count on every Klingon warrior in this crew to serve and die in that battle. So I ask you again Commander Riker, where are your loyalties?"
Riker: "I have been assigned here to serve this ship and to obey your orders. And I will do exactly that."
Kargan: "Will you take an oath to that effect?"
Riker: "I just did."
Klag: "yI-Har-Qo! nep-we' ghaH! (Do not believe him! He lies!)"
Kargan: (to Klag) "Hol-chaj yI-jatlh. (Speak in their language.)"
Kargan: (to Riker) "This is your second officer, Lieutenant Klag."
Riker: "Was there something you wanted to say to me, Lieutenant?"

Klag: "Yes sir. I do not believe you."
Riker: "Then I take it you challenge my authority over you."
Klag: "Correct."
Riker: (to Kargan) "And your position on this, Captain?"
Kargan: "I would say it is your first command decision."
 
Riker: "Ready for your tour, Admiral?"
Admiral Quinn: "Quite ready, Commander."
Riker: "What's in the case?"
Admiral Quinn: "Actually, I brought it for Dr. Crusher...but perhaps you would like to see it first?"
Riker: "What is it?"
Admiral Quinn: "A form of life. It was discovered accidentally by a
survey team on an uncharted planet."
Riker: "Why haven't we heard anything about that?"
Admiral Quinn: "Oh, you'll be hearing about it shortly, but first, there remains much
scientific study to be done. After all, it is a superior form of life."
Riker: "Superior?"
Admiral Quinn: "Totally. Come, have a look."
Riker: "I think I'll summon my science officer."
Admiral Quinn: "It won't like your science officer. It does like you! Vitamins! They do wonders for the body!"
Dr. Pulaski: "Medical log, supplemental. Commander Riker's condition is still critical. I've discovered a way to reverse the infection's growth rate, but, I may be too late."
 
T'Jon: "You will take us to our planet - leave us there with our medicine or this person dies. Don't you see I have no choice? We were sent to bring Felicium back. The suffering on my planet is too great. People are dying. It doesn't matter whether we are entitled to it or not. We must have it."
Picard: "Let him go."
T'Jon: "Take us there now -- or give us a shuttle -- but we must have the medicine... if you refuse, this person will die."
Picard: "I will not be coerced."
T'Jon: "I will do it. I will kill him."
Picard: "No, no you won't. You're not a killer."
Riker: "Data! Data, something's got me! Aaaahhhh!!"
Armus: "TOUCH HIM AND HE DIES."
Riker: "No! No, don't!"
Data: (keys combadge) "Enterprise, Armus has...enveloped Commander Riker!"
Picard: "I'm beaming you up!"
Armus: "IF ANY OF YOU LEAVE NOW, HE DIES...AND SO DO THE SURVIVORS OF THE CRASH."
Computer Voice: "Recognize Picard, Jean-Luc, Captain. Recognize Riker, William T. Commander."
Picard: "Set auto destruct sequence."
Computer Voice: "Does the first officer concur?"
Riker: "Yes, set auto destruct sequence now."
Computer Voice: "Auto destruct will detonate in 4 minutes and 59 seconds."
Geordi: "Commander! We are out of time, this ship is blowing!"
Riker: "Transporter room, have you got a lock on us?"
Yar: "Too much interference. You have to get further away from the Engineering section."
Worf: "Sir, the engineering section is critical. Destruction of the Batris is imminent."
Picard: "They're out of options. Do it now!"
Remmick: "You don't understand. We mean you no harm. We seek peaceful co-existence!"
 
Dr. Pulaski: "There may be some residual memory loss. I just want to be certain that you still know who you are."
Riker: "Of course I know who I am! I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise!"
Picard: "I'm delighted that you're feeling better...Captain. The...admiral and I were worried about you."
Data: "Captain, I do not believe you have the authority to promote me to the rank of admiral."
