Counselor Deanna Troi : Have you noticed how your boobs have firmed up?
Cmdr. Beverly Crusher : Not that we care about that in this day and age.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Uh huh.
Cmdr. Beverly Crusher : [notices Data] Thank you, Data.
Data : [walks over to Worf]
Lieutenant Commander Worf : I've an odd craving for the blood of a live Kolar beast.
Data : And have you noticed how your boobs have firmed up? Not that we care about tha...

Data : I feel obliged to point out that the environmental anomalies may have stimulated certain rebellious instincts common to youth, which could affect everyone's judgment... Except mine of course.
Cmdr. Beverly Crusher : Okay Data. What do *you* think we should do?
Data : Saddle up, lock and load!
-
Data : In the event of a water landing, I have been designed to act as a flotation device.

Data : [Artim is getting over his distrust of Data, and beginning to bond with him] My operation depends on specifications that do not change. I will never know the experience of growing up or tripping over my own feet.
Artim : But you've never had adults telling you what to do all the time, or bedtimes, or having to eat food you don't like.
Data : I would gladly accept the requirement of a bedtime in exchange for knowing what it is like to be a child.
Artim : Do machines ever play?
Data : Yes. I play the violin, and my chess routines are quite advanced.
Artim : No, I mean, haven't you ever just played? For fun?
Data : [tentative, unsure what the boy is getting at] Androids do not have fun.
Artim : Look, if you want to understand what it's like to be a child, you need to learn to play.

Captain Picard : Data, what's the last thing you remember?
Data : [singing] His nose should pant, and his lip should curl...
Captain Picard : From the mission.

Commander Riker : [referring to his shaven face] Smooth as an android's bottom, eh, Data?
Data : I beg your pardon, Sir?
Data : [later] Commander! May I?
[feels his face, shakes his head]

[there is a blemish on Worf's face]
Captain Picard : Have you been in a fight, Mr Worf?
Lieutenant Commander Worf : [sighs] No sir... it is a "gorch".
Captain Picard : Gorch?
Data : [whispers] Pimple, sir.
Captain Picard : Oh... it's hardly noticeable.
-
Data : Captain, the boy is afraid of me.
Captain Picard : It's nothing personal, Data. You have to remember, these people have rejected technology.
Data : I am the personification of everything they have rejected.
Captain Picard : Until this week, that young man probably never saw a machine, let alone one that walks and talks.

Data : [discovering a Federation ship in the middle of a Ba'ku lake] It is a holographic projection. Incomplete, I might add.
Captain Picard : What you're seeing is a computer-driven image created by photons and force fields.
Anij : I know what a hologram is, Captain. The question is, why would anyone want to create one of our village?
Captain Picard : Data, if you were following the children and discovered this ship...
Data : It is conceivable I was shot to protect the secret of its existence.
Captain Picard : Why would they duplicate this village, except to deceive the Ba'ku?
Anij : Deceive us?
Captain Picard : To move you off this planet. You go to sleep one night in the village, wake up the next morning on this flying holodeck, transported en masse. Within a few days, they're relocated on a similar planet without ever realizing it.
Data : Why would the Federation or the Son'a wish to move the Ba'ku?
Captain Picard : I don't know.
