• [last lines] 

  Lt. Commander Data : I witnessed something... remarkable. Individually, they were both so...

  Counselor Deanna Troi : Wounded. Isolated.

  Lt. Commander Data : Yes. But no longer. Through joining... they have been healed. Grief has been transmuted to joy, loneliness to... belonging.

  Counselor Deanna Troi : Data? You *do* understand?

  Lt. Commander Data : Yes, Counselor. When Tin Man returned me to the Enterprise, I realized... this is where *I* belong.

• Lt. Commander Data : You said in the transporter room that you could not read my mind.

  Tam Elbrun : True enough. But I think I understand you pretty well. It worries you that I can't read your mind?

  Lt. Commander Data : Perhaps there is nothing to read - nothing more than mechanisms and algorithmic responses.

  Tam Elbrun : Perhaps you're just different. It's not a sin, you know. Though you may have heard otherwise.

• Tam Elbrun : [first meeting Data; startled]  Who... What are you?

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : I am Data. I am an android.
