- Tarmin: It's been three centuries since we treated anyone for this... this form of rape. But there are medical records from that era. It was a time of great violence for my people, a time we thought we had put far behind us. That this could happen now... It's unimaginable.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Earth was once a violent planet, too. At times, the chaos threatened the very fabric of life, but, like you, we evolved; we found better ways to handle our conflicts. But I think no one can deny that the seed of violence remains within each of us. We must recognize that. Because that violence is capable of consuming each of us, as it consumed your son.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: I've learned to remind myself that my mother and I are two separate individuals.
- Jev: M-hm. And have you enjoyed much success with this approach, Counselor?
- Counselor Deanna Troi: ...No. But I do keep reminding myself.
- Commander William T. Riker: I just thought... it might help to hear a friendly voice - even if you don't know you're hearing it.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: [to Jev] It's not easy having an overbearing parent. Believe me, I know how you feel.
- Tarmin: [to Dr. Crusher] You, madam - you're thinking about that first childhood kiss. Would you like to remember more about it?
- Jev: Father, you know you're not supposed to probe someone's memory unless they've given you permission.
- Tarmin: You are right. But sometimes, with a beautiful woman... I cannot help myself.
- [from Troi's traumatic memory]
- Commander William T. Riker, Jev: [respectively] Have you stopped thinking about us?
- [from Dr. Crusher's traumatic memory]
- Younger Jean-Luc Picard, Jev: [respectively] You shouldn't remember him like this.
- Tarmin: I've been accused of putting people to sleep with one too many stories, Captain. But this is the first time it's ever been suggested that I might be the cause of someone's coma.
- [La Forge is carrying out a ship-wide diagnostic for chemical agents]
- Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Ferrazene has a complex molecular structure; it breaks down into bilenium and tarrisite. Do the sensors scan for those?
- Enterprise Computer: Ship's sensors scan for both compounds.
- Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: And are *they* present on the Enterprise?
- Enterprise Computer: Bilenium and tarrisite are not present.
- Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Do any of the substances break down into by-products that are not scanned for?
- Enterprise Computer: Dardilion contains the by-product nilizene. Sensors do not routinely scan for that substance.
- Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: [impatient] Well, this isn't a routine situation. Scan for the nilizene.
- Enterprise Computer: There is no nilizene on the Enterprise.
- Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: [ironic] How did I know you were gonna say that?
- Counselor Deanna Troi: [Jev has made a strange comment and starts to evade her memories, revealing his identity as the serial memory violator; in shock] It was you... It was you all along!
- [Counselor Troi goes in self-defense mode, fending off Jev's attacks]
- Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Got any memories you feel like digging up?
- Commander William T. Riker: None that I'd care to share with an audience!
