Yar: "Hello, my friends. You are here now watching this image of me because I have died. It probably happened while I was on duty, and quickly, which is what I expected. Never forget I died doing exactly what I chose to do. What I want you to know is how much I loved my life, and those of you who shared it with me. You are my family, you all know where I came from and what my life was like before. But Starfleet took that frightened, angry young girl and tempered her. I have been blessed with your friendship, and your love."
   
Yar: "Ah, Worf. We are so much alike, you and I. Both warriors, orphans who found ourselves this family. I hope I met death with my eyes wide open."
   
Yar: "My friend Data, you see things with the wonder of a child. And that makes you more human than any of us."
   
Yar: "Captain Jean-Luc Picard, I wish I could say you've been like a father to me, but I've never had one so I don't know what it feels like. But if there was someone in this universe I could choose to be like, someone who I would want to make proud of me, it's you. You who have the heart of an explorer and the soul of a poet. So, you'll understand when I say, 'Death is that stage in which one exists only in the memory of others', which is why it is not an end. No goodbyes, just good memories. Hailing frequencies closed, sir."
   
Data: "Sir, the purpose of this gathering .. confuses me."
Picard: "Oh? How so?"
Data: "My thoughts are not for Tasha, but for myself. I keep thinking, how empty it will be without her presence. Did I miss the point?"
Picard: "No you didn't Data. You got it."
   
Riker: "What do you want?"
Armus: "Maybe I want nothing."
Riker: "Then you would have killed all of us."
Armus: "I still might."
   
Riker: "Data...Data something's got me!"
   
[to Data]
Armus: "Touch him, and he dies."
   
[on Armus]
Data
: "I would guess that death is no longer sufficient to alleviate its boredom, therefore Commander Riker is alive."
   
[to Armus]
Data: "You are capable of great sadism and cruelty. Interesting, no redeeming qualities."
   
Armus: "I do not serve things evil, I am evil."
Picard: "Shall I tell you what true evil is? It is to submit to you. It is when we surrender our friends, our dignity, instead of defying you."
   
Picard: "Au revoir, Natasha."
