- Kevin Uxbridge: [of Rishon] I saw her broken body. I went insane. My hatred exploded. And in an instant of grief... I destroyed the Husnock.
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: Why did you try to hide this from all of us? Was it out of guilt for not helping Rishon and the others when they were alive?
- Kevin Uxbridge: No, no, no, no, no, you-you don't understand the scope of my crime. I didn't kill just one Husnock, or a hundred, or a thousand. I killed them all. All Husnock, everywhere. - Are 11,000 people worth... 50 billion? Is the love of a woman worth the destruction of an entire species?

- Capt. Picard: Captain's log, stardate 43153.7 - We are departing the Rana system for Starbase 1-3-3. We leave behind a being of extraordinary power and conscience. I'm not certain if he should be praised or condemned. Only that he should be left alone.
- Lieutenant Worf: Sir - may I say your attempt to hold the away team at bay with a non-functioning weapon was an act of unmitigated gall.
- Kevin Uxbridge: Didn't fool you, huh?
- Lieutenant Worf: I admire gall.
- [Picard and Worf are invited to tea in the Uxbridges' house]
- Rishon Uxbridge: Well, what do you think, Mr. Worf?
- Lieutenant Worf: Good tea. Nice house.
- Capt. Picard: We're not qualified to be your judges. We have no law to fit your crime. You're free to return to the planet. And to make Rishon live again.
- Capt. Picard: Tell me this - if Rishon were in danger, would you kill to save her life?
- Kevin Uxbridge: No, not for her... not for anyone. I will not kill.
- Capt. Picard: Your Captain is acting on an assumption, Will. And I'm not sure what the result will be, or even that my assumption is correct. We found two people alive in a house on a devastated planet. But... there was only one survivor of the war... on Rana IV.
- Rishon Uxbridge: Kevin and I first met each other on a ship at sea. He was a starving student with this threadbare suit and mismatched shoes. I was traveling with my parents, who did not like the way that he kept hanging around. Two hours after I met him, I asked him to marry me - and he knew I was serious. I don't think that he has ever recovered from that day.
- Commander William T. Riker: [of the warship at its second appearance] Is it my imagination or does it look a lot meaner this time?
- Commander William T. Riker: Will he return to the planet?
- Capt. Picard: If he is the creature of conscience I believe him to be, he has someone to help first.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: I hear it. It's still there! It's so loud!
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: Take her to sickbay!
- Counselor Deanna Troi: No! I want to stay in my quarters.
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: I can get you to sleep.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: I don't want to sleep. The music will only follow me.
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: I can induce delta sleep, lock out even your deepest dreams.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: It's not a dream. It's real!
- [Kevin has freed Troi of the music]
- Kevin Uxbridge: She was beginning to sense who I really was. I've lived as a Human for over fifty years, but I couldn't hide from her. She has suffered because of my pride and selfishness. It will not happen again.
- Capt. Picard: I was concerned. I came to see if I could be of any help.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: [unconvincingly] I'm fine. There's nothing wrong; I'm just tired, that's all.
- Capt. Picard: Now, I may not have your gifts at reading emotions, Counselor, but I can tell when someone is in pain, and hiding it.
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: Could I have your names, please, just for the record?
- Rishon Uxbridge: I'm Rishon Uxbridge, and this is my husband Kevin.
- Lt. Commander Data: Botanists. Originally from the aquatic city New Martim Vaz in Earth's Atlantic Ocean. Residents of the Rana IV colony for five years. You, madam, are 82 years of age and a composer of Tao-classical music. You, sir, are 85 years of age and a specialist in symbiotic plant life. You have been married for 53 years. I memorized the colony register on the way to Rana IV, in the event that such information would be needed.
- Kevin Uxbridge: [about the reason why he and Rishon may have survived their planet's destruction] I'm a man of special conscience. While the others did what they could, I chose not to fight.
- Rishon Uxbridge: Kevin Uxbridge, I have never turned anyone away from this house, and I am not going to start now!
- Capt. Picard: Mr. Worf, let's raise our voice a little. Fire phasers, just a warning shot. Mr. Data, invite them to stand to.
- Commander William T. Riker: [after the illusory Husnock ship fires on the Enterprise] If that's the best they can do, this should last about five minutes.
