Quotes 

• Lwaxana Troi : Can you imagine that dreadful little creature talking to me like that? Doesn't he realize that I am the daughter of the Fifth House of Betazed? Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx?

  Counselor Deanna Troi : The Sacred Chalice of Rixx is an old clay pot with mold growing inside it.

  Lwaxana Troi : Oh, well, perhaps one day, when you're older and wiser, you'll understand.

• Counselor Deanna Troi : Are we at war with the Ferengi yet?

• Lwaxana Troi : [arguing with Deanna about getting married]  You had your chance with Commander Riker. Look how you ruined that.

  Counselor Deanna Troi : I did not ruin anything! We've become very good friends.

  Lwaxana Troi : Well, all the better; you certainly wouldn't wanna marry an enemy.

• Counselor Deanna Troi : I'm sorry, and I didn't mean to get so upset with you at the reception.

  Lwaxana Troi : Oh, no. Deanna, try to understand. You're all I have. My only concern is for your happiness.

  Counselor Deanna Troi : I am happy. Why can't you believe that?

  Lwaxana Troi : Oh, I wish I could, but how much happiness is there in always being there for someone else and never being there for yourself?

• DaiMon Tog : Captain Picard, so good of you to meet us. We were on our way to Betazed to return our guests.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Of course you were, DaiMon. But you're still holding Lwaxana Troi.

  Lwaxana Troi : When will you get it through your thick head that it's over between us, Jean-Luc?

  Counselor Deanna Troi : [after having the transmission muted]  I think I know what she's doing. You have to fight to get her back, Captain.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [Re-opening the transmission]  Er, er. It's not over between us, Lwaxana. You're mine and I will not let you go. I insist you return to my side immediately.

  Lwaxana Troi : You mean, you still care?

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : My love is a fever, longing still for that which longer nurseth the disease.

  Lwaxana Troi : Tell me more.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes, for they in thee a thousand errors see. But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise, who in despite of view are please'd to dote. Shall I compare the to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

  DaiMon Tog : You didn't tell me that you and Captain Picard were...

  Lwaxana Troi : You said you didn't want to hear about my other romances.

  Lwaxana Troi : I have a new love, Jean-Luc. And you can't keep killing all my lovers. That simply has to stop.

  DaiMon Tog : Killing?

  Lwaxana Troi : Oh, he's insanely jealous.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Listen, Tog, I must possesses Lwaxana. And if that means destroying your ship in the process, so be it.

  DaiMon Tog : Captain, I had no idea Lwaxana was...

  Lwaxana Troi : Don't let him threaten you. You can defeat him.

  Lwaxana Troi : [to Picard]  The only way you'll ever get me back is over Tog's dead body!

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : That can be arranged. Mister Worf, arm phaser banks and photon torpedoes. If Lwaxana Troi is not in my arms in ten seconds, throw everything you've got at the Krayton.

  DaiMon Tog : But you will destroy Lwaxana!

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : When I have plucked the rose, I cannot give it vital growth again. It needs must wither. Nine, eight. 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Seven, six.

  DaiMon Tog : No, wait.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Five, four.

  DaiMon Tog : Beam her to their Bridge, now!

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Two, one.
