["Mac Duff" has been revealed as a Satarran bent on annihilating the Lysians]
Commander William T. Riker : With all the power that MacDuff had, to alter our brain chemistry and manipulate the computers, it's hard to believe he needed the Enterprise.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The Satarran weapons technology was no more advanced than the Lysian. One photon torpedo would have ended their war.
Commander William T. Riker : It almost did.

[last lines]
[after the crew's memories have been restored, Riker and Ensign Ro have to come to terms with their recent fling]
Ensign Ro Laren : The Counselor tells me that at times like that, we might do the things that we've always wanted to do.
Commander William T. Riker : She said that?
Counselor Deanna Troi : It's psychologically valid.
Ensign Ro Laren : Commander, don't worry about it. As far as I'm concerned, you and I have shared something that we will treasure forever.

Commander William T. Riker : I'd be having more fun than searching the ship, I'd imagine.
Ensign Ro Laren : [surprised] Fun?
Commander William T. Riker : Well, with that holodeck we just saw. I think I could conjure up an interesting program or two.
Ensign Ro Laren : Now, that's disappointing.
Commander William T. Riker : Why?
Ensign Ro Laren : You don't strike me as a man who needs a holodeck to have a good time.
