Ens Gomez:
"Hot chocolate, please."
LaForge: "Heh, we ... we don't ordinarily say
'please' to food dispensers around here."
Ens Gomez: "Well, since it is enlisted as
intelligent circuitry, why not? After all, working with so
much artificial intelligence can be inhumanising, right?
So why not combat that tendency with a little, simple
courtesy? Ah! Thank you." |

Picard: "We agreed you would never trouble my ship
again."
Q: "I always keep my arrangements, sir. Look ..
we're nowhere near your vessel." |

[on Riker and Worf]
Q: "Ah, the redoubtable Commander Riker ... and
Microbrain! Growl for me ... let me know you still care." |
| |
|
|
|
Q: "I add a little
excitement, a little spice to your lives, and all you do
is complain! Where is your adventurous spirit, your
imagination? Think, Picard, think! Think of the
possibilities." |
| |
|
|
|
Q:
"Why? Why, to give you a taste of your future, a preview
of things to come. Con permiso, capitan? The hall is
rented, the orchestra engaged. It's time to see if you can
dance." |

|
[on the
Borg]
Q: "You can't outrun them. You can't destroy them.
If you damage them, the essence of what they are remains
... they regenerate and keep coming. Eventually, you'll
weaken. Your reserves will be gone. They are relentless." |
| |
|
|
|
[to Q]
Picard: "If we all die ... here, now ... you will
not be able to gloat! You wanted to frighten us ... we're
frightened. You wanted to show us that we are inadequate
... for the moment, I grant that. You wanted me to say
that I need you ... I *need you*!" |
| |
|
|
|
[to Picard]
Q: "If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe
you had better go back home and crawl under your bed. It's
not safe out here! It's wondrous, with treasures to
satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for
the timid." |
| |
|
|
|
Picard:
"Maybe Q did the right thing for the wrong reason."
Guinan: "How so?"
Picard: "Well, Perhaps what we most needed was a
kick in our complacency to prepare us for what lies
ahead." |
| |
|
|
|
Q:
"We'll just have to see how ready you are!"
Guinan: "Q, *no*!" |
| |
|
|
|
[to Q]
Picard: "To learn about you is frankly provocative,
but you're next of kin to chaos." |
| |
|
|
|
Guinan:
"Q has set a series of events in motion. Your contact with
the Borg came long before it should. When you're ready, it
might be possible to establish a relationship with them,
but now -- now, you are only raw material to them. And
since they are aware of your existence..."
Picard: "They will be coming."
Guinan: "You can depend on it." |
