Lt. Tasha Yar : What I want now is gentleness. And joy... and love. From you, Data; you are fully functional, aren't you?
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Of course, but...
Lt. Tasha Yar : How fully?
Lt. Cmdr. Data : In every way, of course. I am programed in multiple techniques. A broad variety of pleasuring.
Lt. Tasha Yar : Oh! You jewel, that's exactly what I hoped!
-
Lt. Cmdr. Data : We are more alike than unlike, my dear Captain. I have pores; humans have pores. I have... fingerprints; humans have fingerprints. My chemical nutrients are like your blood. If you prick me - do I not... leak?
-
Lt. Cmdr. Data : There was a rather peculiar limerick, being delivered by someone in the shuttlecraft bay. I am not sure I understand it... "There was a young lady from Venus, whose body was shaped like a... "
Capt. Picard : Captain to Security, come in!
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Did I say something wrong?
Lieutenant Worf : I don't understand their humor either.
-
Lt. Cmdr. Data : I believe that last sound was an emergency hatch being blown.
Capt. Picard : Are you certain? Yes, of course you are.
-
Lt. Tasha Yar : You wanted me?
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Captain Picard ordered me to escort you to Sickbay, Lieutenant.
Lt. Tasha Yar : Did he say when?
Lt. Cmdr. Data : I'm sure he meant now. So... you should get into uniform.
Lt. Tasha Yar : But I got out of my uniform for you, Data.

Commander William T. Riker : Data, I need help in locating some library computer information.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Specifics, sir?
Commander William T. Riker : All I have is a vague memory of reading somewhere about someone taking a shower in his or her clothing.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Ah, the body Geordi discovered.
Commander William T. Riker : Well, I believe it may have happened before.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : To someone, somewhere.
Commander William T. Riker : This ought to be easy for someone written up in biomechanical texts.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : About that, sir. Did the doctor believe I was boasting?
Commander William T. Riker : Probably. This may take some time?
Lt. Cmdr. Data : At least several hours. But what I said was a statement of fact. Perhaps she will look it up.
Commander William T. Riker : You can depend on it.

Lt. Cmdr. Data : Indications of what humans would call... a wild party.
Commander William T. Riker : Yeah.
[going to a wall display]
Commander William T. Riker : Their bridge. If this thing works, be sure to record everything.
[Data taps buttons to clarify the image]
Commander William T. Riker : You were right. Somebody blew out the hatch. They were all sucked out into space.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Correction, sir. That's "blown out".
Commander William T. Riker : [quasi-sarcastic] Thank you, Data.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : A common mistake, sir.
-
Lt. Tasha Yar : Do you know how old I was when I was abandoned?
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Chronological age? No. I am afraid I am not familiar with...
Lt. Tasha Yar : Five. Five years old. But I survived. I learned how to stay alive, how to avoid the rape gangs. I was fifteen before I escaped.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : I am sorry. I did not know.

Doctor Beverly Crusher : If you were any more perfect, Data, I'd have to write you up in a Starfleet medical textbook.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : I am already listed in several bio-mechanical texts, Doctor.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Yes - of course...
-
Commander William T. Riker : Captain, I believe we have the answer to what happened over there.
Capt. Picard : [looking over Data's shoulder] The Constitution-class Starship Enterprise, Captain James T. Kirk commanding.
Commander William T. Riker : Similar conditions. They were monitoring a planet that was breaking up and not a collapsing star, as in this case. But there were the same huge shifts in gravity.
Capt. Picard : Which somehow resulted in complex strings of water molecules which acquired carbon from the body and acted... acted on the body like alcohol. Data, download this information to Medical immediately.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Aye, sir. Downloading.
Capt. Picard : Fascinating. The entire crew going out of control.
Commander William T. Riker : Like intoxication, but worse. Judgment almost completely impaired.
Capt. Picard : Until they found this formula, barely in time.
[pressing a console button]
Capt. Picard : Picard to Dr. Crusher. Come in.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : This is Crusher. Go ahead, Captain.
Capt. Picard : You can relax, Doctor. The answer to all of this is feeding into your medical banks right now; including a cure.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Are you certain, Captain?
Capt. Picard : Absolutely.
-
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Can you provide more information, sir? Seeking an instance of someone showering in his or her clothing is...
Commander William T. Riker : I know. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Why would anyone wish to expend his time in such a search?
Commander William T. Riker : Correction, Data. I should have said "proverbial needle in a haystack".
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Ah, a human proverb. As in folklore or an historical allusion or tribal memories.
Commander William T. Riker : Historical. That's it. I remember I was reading a history of all the past starships named Enterprise.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : [refining his search] Enterprise history. Aberrant behavior. Medical cross-reference.

Capt. Picard : Number One, it seems our Security Chief has the equivalent of a snootful.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Inquiry, sir - 'snootful'?
Capt. Picard : Forget it.
