Worf: "Enter."
Troi: "Did the table do something wrong?"
   
Bashir: "Does you hair grow?"
Data: "I can control the rate of my filament replenishment. However, I have not yet had a reason to modify the length of my hair. Why do you ask?"
Bashir: "Oh, just curious."
   
Data: "Is something wrong, doctor?"
Bashir: "Well, you're breathing!"
Data: "Yes. I do have a functional respiratory system. However, its purpose is to maintain thermal control of my internal systems. I am in fact capable of functioning for extended periods in a vacuum."
Bashir: "And you have a pulse!"
Data: "My circulatory system not only produces bio-mechanical lubricants, it regulates micro-hydraulic power... Most people are interested in my extraordinary abilities; how fast I can compute, my memory capacity, how long I will live. No-one has ever asked me if my hair will grow, or noticed that I can breathe."
Bashir: "Well, your creator went to a lot of trouble to make you seem human. I find that fascinating."
   
Bashir: "Data, perhaps we are going about this the wrong way."
Data: "How so?"
Bashir: "Well, maybe you had a dream or hallucination."
Data: "I am not capable of either of those functions."
   
Data: "I plan to shut down my cognitive functions for a brief period each day. I hope to generate new internal visions."
Bashir: "It sounds to me like you are talking about dreaming."
Data: "An accurate analogy."
