Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Data! Data, isn't this exciting? We are going to witness a moment in history!
Lt. Commander Data : [puzzled] Every nanosecond in this continuum is a moment in history, once it has elapsed.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : No, no, no, no, I mean, we are gonna see something that people will talk about for years! I mean, think about it: no more bulky warp engines, or nacelles. A ship just generates a soliton wave and then rides it through space, like a surfboard. This is going to be like being there to watch Chuck Yeager break the sound barrier, or Zefram Cochrane engage the first warp drive!
Lt. Commander Data : [emotionless] It should be interesting.
Lieutenant Worf : [equally unenthusiastic] Very exciting.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : I'm talking to the wrong crowd. Er, D-Donaldson! Donaldson, you're an engineer...!

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Warp without warp drive.
Commander William T. Riker : They're gonna put you out of a job, Geordi.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : I hope so, Commander.
