- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [gangster accent] Step on it!
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: For the moment, I have other duties.
- Lt. McNary: Blonde or brunette?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: She's a lady all right. And her name is... Enterprise.
- Lt. McNary: Sounds like a working girl to me.
- [Picard is complaining about the odd spelling of the Jarada language]
- Counselor Deanna Troi: But you spell knife with a 'k'.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I spell knife with an 'n'. But then I never could spell.
- Lieutenant Geordi La Forge: So, Data, how was it?
- Lt. Commander Data: [gangster accent] It was raining in the city by the bay... a hard rain. Hard enough to wash the slime...
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Data!
- Lt. Commander Data: Sorry, sir.
- Lt. Dan Bell: You better not try to leave town.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: If I leave town, town leaves with me.

- Doctor Beverly Crusher: Is that good?
- Desk Sergeant: It ain't bad.
- Vendor: [about Data] He's not from around here, is he?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Er, no, he's not. He's, er... he's from... South America.
- Vendor: Yeah... 's got a nice tan.
- Cyrus Redblock: [about Data] Where do you s'ppose he's from?

- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Data...
- Lt. Commander Data: South America.
- [Cyrus Redblock intends to go out of the holodeck into the "new world"]
- Lt. Commander Data: If you were going to go through yourself, sir - that is not possible.
- Cyrus Redblock: One look at you, sir, is proof that anything is possible.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I have to go.
- Lt. McNary: So... this is the big goodbye.
- [they shake hands, and Picard turns to leave]
- Lt. McNary: Tell me something, Dix. When you've gone... will this world still exit? Will my wife and kids still be waiting for me at home?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I honestly don't know.
- [Picard is about to leave the holodeck, when someone knocks at Dixon Hill's office door]
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: You'll have to call again; I'm just leaving. I'm, er... not dressed properly.
- Lt. Commander Data: Hiya, Doc, what's cookin'?
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: You know, I had some trouble getting through. Where's Captain Picard?
- Lt. Commander Data: He's on ice.
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: Pardon?
- Lt. Commander Data: He's being grilled.
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: What is he, a fish?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I am not Dixon Hill! I just look like Dixon Hill!
- Lt. Commander Data: He speaks the truth, sir. From your point of view, he is only a facsimile. A knock-off. A cheap imitation...
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Thank you, Mr. Data.
- Commander William T. Riker: So - have a nice vacation?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: It was a nice place to visit, Number One, but... I wouldn't want to die there.

- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [bemused] Halloween?
- Cyrus Redblock: Life is an endless stream of choices. Unfortunately you have chosen to make my life more difficult.
- Cyrus Redblock: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction - a Newtonian truism which you've obviously neglected.
- Lt. McNary: [on Redblock's gang] Nice company you're keeping, Dix. You forget to take the trash out this morning?
- Cyrus Redblock: Senseless killing is immoral. But killing for a purpose... can be quite often ingenious.
- Cyrus Redblock: All right, let's begin. Make your thoughts fruitful and your words eloquent. 'cause I don't have to tell you, your lovely lady friend's life depends upon it.
