• Counselor Deanna Troi : The best thing we can do right now is let Timothy take us where he wants to go. We should support the process and even encourage it.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Data, I would like you to make Timothy the best android he can possibly be.

• Capt. Jean-Luc Picard : [to Data]  Data, I would like you to make Timothy the best android he could possibly be.

• [after coming to the conclusion that Timothy is not being fully honest about the Vico's destruction, Captain Picard has the boy taken into his ready room, with Counselor Troi and Lt. Commander Data present, for questioning] 

  Capt. Jean-Luc Picard : Timothy, can you tell us what happened to your ship?

  Timothy : [firmly]  I did tell you!

  Counselor Deanna Troi : Tell us again,

  Timothy : We were attacked.

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : That is very unlikely, our investigation concludes that...

  Timothy : [interrupting; shouting]  We were attacked, we were attacked!

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : [conciliating]  Timothy... Androids do not lie.

  [pause] 

  Timothy : It... It was... me.

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : Please, explain.

  Timothy : [his voice breaking]  It was me... I did it. I killed them all.

• Capt. Jean-Luc Picard : [to Geordi; about Timothy; looking at a map of the Vico, the destroyed science vessel]  The boy was found here.

  Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge : Mm-hm, In the hallway outside the computer core. His mother was the ship's systems engineer. Second away team found her body here, inside the core.

  Capt. Jean-Luc Picard : And his father?

  Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge : Ship's second officer. He was most likely on the bridge when it was exposed to space.

  Capt. Jean-Luc Picard : [grimly]  Most likely.

• Lt. Commander Data : [the Enterprise is being compounded by increasingly more powerful shockwaves. With Timothy by his side, Data has discovered something unusual in his research from the science aft]  Sir, Drop the sheids!

  Cmdr. William Riker : That's suicide, Data!

  Lt. Commander Data : Captain. Drop the shields.

  [Captain Picard looks at Data and sees that the android is dead serious] 

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Make it so!

  [Worf drops the shields. The shock wave passes over the ship gently and calmly] 

• [first lines]
