• [Aquiel's dog has chewed up La Forge's shoes] 

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : Maura, shame on you! That's not like you. What a naughty dog!

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : It's all right, don't worry about it. At least she's chewing them up in pairs.

• [Aquiel is upset when La Forge admits that he has read through her personal logs] 

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : I'm sorry. It's...just that I tell my sister things I wouldn't tell anyone else. I guess I was feeling a little...exposed.

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : I'd feel the same way.

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : Especially if I had seen you in that wig!

• [in a personal letter to her sister, Aquiel is talking about the threat from a Klingon] 

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : I don't... think there'll be any trouble. It just... brings up those feelings of... panic, of wanting to run, wanting to get away from danger. Shianna, I couldn't say this to anyone but you. But the panic... It's the same thing I used to feel whenever Father got angry. When I knew he was going to punish me. Only now, I'm out here in space - and there's nowhere to run.

• [La Forge has questioned Aquiel about her insubordinate conduct toward Lt. Rocha, who is presumed killed] 

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : Keith Rocha was obnoxious from the minute he reported to duty. He treated me as though I was beneath contempt. I felt like I had to battle him, to hold my own. But I didn't want to see him dead.

• Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : Think of me.

• [last lines] 

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Remember when you said you felt like the memories had been drained right out of you? That's probably exactly what was going on.

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : Then maybe I did take the phaser.

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Well, whatever happened, at least you got away before the process took hold.

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : So he turned on Maura.

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Right. Well... what now?

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : I guess I'll be going to Starbase 212 for reassignment.

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : You know, I had a conversation with Chief Pendleton in Communications and there's an opening for a Level 2 specialist.

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : Really?

  [She considers for a moment] 

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : I'm sure the waiting list is so long I'd be grey before I got here.

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : I could put in a good word.

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : It's an appealing offer, but I think I'd rather get here on my own merits.

  [La Forge nods, understanding but disappointed] 

  Lt. Aquiel Uhnari : Don't be surprised if you see my name on that list!
