Data

"Please continue the 'petty bickering'."

"You are capable of great sadism and cruelty. Interesting. No redeeming qualities."

"So what do you think?"

"I think you should be destroyed."

"One is my name. The other is not."

"Sensors show life forms aboard, but I am unable to ascertain whether they are awake or dormant. However, the vessel's propulsion systems are inactive, so I would hypothesize that the crew is asleep."

"...however, I could be in error."

"It is a matter of perspective Doctor. In the strictest sense, I did not win."

"I busted him up."

"This is just a thing, and things can be replaced. Lives cannot."

"Since there is no known natural phenomenon capable of travel at warp velocities, there are but two possibilities. Either it is a sensor malfunction, another ship is following us covertly."

"Is that the purpose of existence? To care for someone?"

"Through joining, they have been healed. Grief has been transmuted to joy. Loneliness to belonging."

"I've been delivered here against my wishes. I would like to know the reason."

"Certainly. You have been brought here for my enjoyment and my appreciation."

"Clearly, Mister Fajo has no moral difficulty with my imprisonment here."

"I have been designed with a fundamental respect for life in all its forms and a strong inhibition against causing harm to living beings."

"What a marvellous contradiction. A military pacifist!"

"I cannot permit this to continue..."

"The Enterprise is not a ship of war. It is a ship of exploration."

"As I experience certain sensory input patterns, my mental pathways become accustomed to them. The input is eventually anticipated and even 'missed' when absent."

"You're worried about Geordi, aren't you?"

"I am an android; it is not possible for–"

"… you to feel anxiety."

"Starfleet personnel have vanished. Others may be at risk. We must do the best we can to find out why. However, I am... strongly motivated to solve this mystery."

"Data to Lieutenant Worf. Priority one."

"Go ahead."

"Take Commander La Forge into custody immediately."

"Sir?'"

"That is an order."

"I would gladly risk feeling bad at times, if it also meant I could taste my dessert."

"It is interesting that people try to find meaningful patterns in things that are essentially random. I have noticed that the images they percieve sometimes suggest what they are thinking about at that particular moment. Besides, it is clearly a bunny rabbit."

"I have often wondered about my own mortality as I have seen others age around me. Until now it has been theoretically possible that I would live an unlimited period of time. And although some might find this attractive, to me it only reinforces that fact that I am... artificial."

"Felis Catus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature,
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses,
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications,
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection,
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents,
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance,
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
Oh Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display,
Connote a fairly well developed cognitive array,
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I none-the-less consider you a true and valued friend."

"It is true I am acting on my personal beliefs. But I do not see how I can do otherwise."

"I got angry."

"Lore. I must deactivate you now."

"Without me, you will never feel emotions again."

"I know. But you leave me no other choice."

"I... love you... brother."

"Goodbye, Lore."

"If Captain Picard were here..."

"He's not."

"I realize that, sir. But if he were and he wanted to lead an away team, you would tell him that the captain's place..."

"...is on the bridge. Not this time."

"May I inquire as to your destination?"

"No."

"May I ask the purpose of your journey?"

"No."

"He's alright, he's only stunned."

"I must admit, I am experiencing a similar sensation."

"This is going to take a little time to explain."

"It would take them at least 14 hours to reach that position."

"We could be there in five."

"Make it so."

"Finally."

"He will need to be fed once a day. He prefers feline supplement number 25."

"I understand."

"And he will require water. And you must provide him with a sandbox. And you must talk to him. Tell him he is a pretty cat. And a good cat."

"I will feed him."

"Perhaps that will be enough."

"Goodnight Spot."

"Why is Spot under the bed?"

"Probably because she knows if I catch her, I'm going to kill her."

"How about a phaser? A low stun setting at just the right moment might do the trick..."

"Geordi, I cannot stun my cat."

"I helped create you and now… look at you."

"You were a colleague of Dr. Soong?"

"I most certainly was... and I was also his wife. In a way, I suppose you could say I am your mother."

"The positronic matrix I designed for her was unstable. She only lived a short time."

"I see."

"In a sense, you were her grandmother."

"Well… if you'll excuse me, um… I have the bridge this watch."

"Counselor, have you been promoted in my absence?"

"That's right. Which means from now on you can call me 'sir.'"

"Yes, sir."

"How can I reproduce a sound with clay?"

"Geordi, would you agree that the instinct for self-preservation is shared by most lifeforms?"

"I'd say it's probably the most basic instinct, Data."

"Hmm. That being the case, I find it difficult to understand why someone would deliberately terminate their own existence."

"Unlikely as it may sound, I believe the Enterprise may be forming an intelligence."

"Q's interest in you has always been very similar to that of a master and his beloved pet. That was only an analogy, captain."

"Data, we need you to scan the planet for lifeforms."

"I would be happy to sir... I just love scanning for lifeforms."

"Life forms... you tiny little life forms... you precious little life forms... where are you?"

"Do you always talk this much?"

"Not always. But often."

"The B-4 is physically identical to me, although his neural pathways are not as advanced. But even if they were, he would not be me."

"How can you be sure?"

"I aspire, sir. To be better than I am. The B-4 does not. Nor does Shinzon."

"Goodbye."
