Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : Being afraid all of the time, of forgetting somebody's name, not, not knowing... what to do with your hands. I mean, I, I am the guy who writes down things to remember to say when there's a party. And then, when he finally gets there, he winds up alone, in the corner, trying to look comfortable examining a potted plant.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : You're just shy, Barclay.
Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : Just shy... Sounds like nothing serious - doesn't it? You can't know.

Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : [of his holo-fantasies] You know, the people that I create in there are m... more real to me than anyone I meet out here. Except... maybe you, Commander.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : I need you out here, Reg - now more than ever.

Counselor Deanna Troi : I know this is difficult for you. Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable?
Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : No.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Have you ever been to a counselor before?
Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : Yes. No.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Which one?
Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : Yes, but she, it wasn't. It wasn't really a counselor.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Most people find a counselor intimidating at first. It's okay if you feel that way toward me.
Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : Not at all.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Now, lean back, close your eyes.
Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : Why?
Counselor Deanna Troi : I want to make you more comfortable.
Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : You do?
Counselor Deanna Troi : Yes.
[She dims the lights and sits next to him]
Counselor Deanna Troi : It's okay. Close your eyes.
Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : What are you going to do?
Counselor Deanna Troi : Just listen to the sound of my voice. Take a slow deep breath in through your nose and let it out through your mouth just as slowly. That's better, isn't it?
Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : [standing up] Much better. Oh, yes. Oh, yes, that's, that's much better. That is extremely helpful. Thank you for your time.
Counselor Deanna Troi : But...
Lt. Reginald 'Reg' Barclay III : Really. That's very helpful. In through the nose, out through the mouth. I'm going to practice that and I'll let you know. Thank you again.
[He rushes out of the room]
