  Lt. Cmdr. Data : "Tough room"?

  [accesses his data bank] 

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : Ah! A colloquialism, meaning a severe, rigid, close-minded audience. I understand. I will attempt to be an easy room.

• The Comic : Tell me, Data, what happened?

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : I told a joke.

  The Comic : And?

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : No one laughed.

  The Comic : No one? Nobody in the whole room?

  Guinan : I was the whole room.

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : She said I spoiled the joke.

  Guinan : Actually, 'killed' would have been a better word.

• The Comic : More freebies, huh? No cover, no minimum. Just "comic continue?"
