[Wesley has saved Enterprise from destruction with a repulsor beam]
Commander William T. Riker : It's only fair to mention Wesley in a log entry, sir.
Capt. Picard : Fair's fair. And let's credit his science teacher, too.

Commander William T. Riker : Data, I need help in locating some library computer information.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Specifics, sir?
Commander William T. Riker : All I have is a vague memory of reading somewhere about someone taking a shower in his or her clothing.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Ah, the body Geordi discovered.
Commander William T. Riker : Well, I believe it may have happened before.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : To someone, somewhere.
Commander William T. Riker : This ought to be easy for someone written up in biomechanical texts.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : About that, sir. Did the doctor believe I was boasting?
Commander William T. Riker : Probably. This may take some time?
Lt. Cmdr. Data : At least several hours. But what I said was a statement of fact. Perhaps she will look it up.
Commander William T. Riker : You can depend on it.

Lt. Cmdr. Data : Indications of what humans would call... a wild party.
Commander William T. Riker : Yeah.
[going to a wall display]
Commander William T. Riker : Their bridge. If this thing works, be sure to record everything.
[Data taps buttons to clarify the image]
Commander William T. Riker : You were right. Somebody blew out the hatch. They were all sucked out into space.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Correction, sir. That's "blown out".
Commander William T. Riker : [quasi-sarcastic] Thank you, Data.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : A common mistake, sir.

Doctor Beverly Crusher : You brought Deanna in.
Commander William T. Riker : Yes, she's infected.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Then you touched her. Oh, God, and you touched me.
[he moves to leave]
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Wait, I've got to quarantine you.
Commander William T. Riker : If I don't get the command computer back online soon, none of this, whatever this is, will matter. We'll all be dead.
-
Commander William T. Riker : Captain, I believe we have the answer to what happened over there.
Capt. Picard : [looking over Data's shoulder] The Constitution-class Starship Enterprise, Captain James T. Kirk commanding.
Commander William T. Riker : Similar conditions. They were monitoring a planet that was breaking up and not a collapsing star, as in this case. But there were the same huge shifts in gravity.
Capt. Picard : Which somehow resulted in complex strings of water molecules which acquired carbon from the body and acted... acted on the body like alcohol. Data, download this information to Medical immediately.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Aye, sir. Downloading.
Capt. Picard : Fascinating. The entire crew going out of control.
Commander William T. Riker : Like intoxication, but worse. Judgment almost completely impaired.
Capt. Picard : Until they found this formula, barely in time.
[pressing a console button]
Capt. Picard : Picard to Dr. Crusher. Come in.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : This is Crusher. Go ahead, Captain.
Capt. Picard : You can relax, Doctor. The answer to all of this is feeding into your medical banks right now; including a cure.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Are you certain, Captain?
Capt. Picard : Absolutely.
-
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Normal all across. Except... why are you perspiring, Lieutenant?
Lt. Geordi La Forge : I suppose because *you* have it too hot in here. What else would it be?
Commander William T. Riker : That doesn't sound like you, Geordi.
Lt. Geordi La Forge : Well, maybe it's not. Maybe she threw her voice.
[Crusher and Riker look at each other, concerned]
Lt. Geordi La Forge : Hey, it was a joke.
-
Commander William T. Riker : Riker to Captain. I have a report for you, sir.
Capt. Picard : Picard here.
Commander William T. Riker : They're all dead. Apparently, some of them were blown out of the emergency hatches.
Capt. Picard : But there were 80 people on that ship, Number One.
Commander William T. Riker : Yes, sir. As I said... all dead.
-
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Can you provide more information, sir? Seeking an instance of someone showering in his or her clothing is...
Commander William T. Riker : I know. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Why would anyone wish to expend his time in such a search?
Commander William T. Riker : Correction, Data. I should have said "proverbial needle in a haystack".
Lt. Cmdr. Data : Ah, a human proverb. As in folklore or an historical allusion or tribal memories.
Commander William T. Riker : Historical. That's it. I remember I was reading a history of all the past starships named Enterprise.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : [refining his search] Enterprise history. Aberrant behavior. Medical cross-reference.
-
Commander William T. Riker : Ship's log, First Officer Riker. Enterprise will be destroyed unless it can be moved out of the path of the star material hurtling toward us. Our only hope is for Lt. Commander Data, in the time we have left, to regain his senses and reconnect engine power to the bridge.
-
Capt. Picard : Take us...
Commander William T. Riker : Are you all right, sir?
Capt. Picard : Worf - you do know what to do. Take us, er...
Commander William T. Riker : Take us out of here!
Capt. Picard : Right.

[last lines]
Capt. Picard : So, Number One, let's go to our next job.
Cmdr. Riker : Aye, sir. Helm, prepare for Warp 3. Heading 294 mark 37.
Lt. La Forge : Warp 3, heading 294 mark 37, sir.
Cmdr. Riker : Engage.
