Lieutenant Worf : Captain! Request permission to be excused from Commander Hutchinson's reception.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Permission granted... I wish I could excuse myself as well.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Er, Captain, permission to be...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mr. La Forge, I cannot excuse my entire senior staff! Mr. Worf beat you to it.

Lt. Commander Data : It has been quite a day. Has it not?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [slightly surprised about the comment] Yes, it has.
Lt. Commander Data : However, a change of routine is often invigorating, and can be a welcome diversion after a long assignment.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Exactly.
Lt. Commander Data : [after a pause] I understand that Arkaria has some very interesting weather patterns.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [bewildered] Mr. Data? Are you all right?
Lt. Commander Data : Yes, sir. I am attempting to fill a silent moment with non-relevant conversation.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Ah. Small talk.
Lt. Commander Data : Yes, sir. I have found that humans often use small talk during awkward moments. Therefore, I have written a new subroutine for that purpose. How did I do?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Perhaps it was a little... too non-relevant.

Kelsey : If I were you, Mr. Mott, I'd be trying to find another way off this ship.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I plan on leaving the same way you do. On your ship.
Kelsey : What ship?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Come on, Kelsey. If you've been planning this so long, you must have a way of getting off the Enterprise and leaving this system. I think you have a ship coming for you. I plan to be on it.
Kelsey : It's a small ship, Mott. I don't think there's gonna be room for both of us.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I'm sorry to hear that. I'll send your regrets.

Lieutenant Worf : Captain - you keep a saddle on board?
Commander William T. Riker : Mr. Worf, I'm surprised at you.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Anyone who is an experienced rider naturally has his own saddle.
Counselor Deanna Troi : It's perfectly normal.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Actually it came in handy. I only wish I'd had the opportunity to use it on a horse.
Lieutenant Worf : [confused] Of course...

[Picard keeps Devor at bay with a laser welder]
Devor : You're Starfleet. You won't kill me.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You sure?
[Devor starts to look doubtful when he is suddenly knocked out - with a hypospray]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Seems you're right.
-
Kelsey : Who are you?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : My name is Mott. I'm, er... I-I'm the barber.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mr. La Forge, how long before the baryon sweep begins on the Enterprise?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : About 25 minutes, sir.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Then I have enough time to go back to the ship and get my saddle.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Your saddle?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Yes, a saddle is a, a very... personal... thing. It has to be, er... broken in, used, cared for.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : You keep a saddle on board the Enterprise?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Oh, yes. Yes, er, I never know when I will have the opportunity to ride.
Counselor Deanna Troi : I see.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : It's perfectly normal. You know, most, er, most serious riders do have their own saddles.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Of course.
Cmdr. Hutchinson : Absolutely!

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Profit - this is all about profit?
Kelsey : I prefer to think of it as commerce.

Lt. Commander Data : [Communicating with Capt. Picard as Kelsey, the thief Picard was fighting on board, is making her escape] Sir, an unidentified scout ship has just beamed someone off the Enterprise. Do you know anything about it?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [Holding the stabilizing unit of the container of dangerously unstable material Kelsey was stealing that he managed to remove without her noticing] I know they won't get far.
[Kelsey's departing ship soon explodes]
