  Dr. Kila Marr : [addressing her son through Data]  Tell me... that you understand, Renny. That... that you know I d... I did it for you, 'cause I love you, because I wanted to give you peace at last.

  Lt. Commander Data : I do not find such a file in your son's journals, Doctor; however, from what I know of him, by his memories and his writing, I do not believe he would be happy. He was proud of your career as a scientist, and now you have destroyed that. You say you did it for him, but I do not believe he would have wanted that. Yes... I believe your son would be very sad now. I am sorry, Doctor, but I cannot help you.

• Commander William T. Riker : Data, we've only seen the Crystalline Entity once before. How do you know these metals will protect us?

  Lt. Commander Data : I am not entirely certain they will, sir.

  Commander William T. Riker : I was afraid you were going to say something like that.

• Dr. Kila Marr : How long will you live, Data?

  Lt. Commander Data : There has been no predetermined limit placed on my existence, Doctor.

  Dr. Kila Marr : [sighs in relief]  I'm glad. As long as you're alive, he'll be alive.
