• [Data has been given charge of arranging a memorial service for Geordi and Ro. Picard and Riker enter the lounge and find balloons, cocktails, and a brass band playing a lively tune] 

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Well, this is... unusual.

  Commander William T. Riker : [grinning]  Yeah. I think I like it.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I've been thinking about the first time I met Geordi La Forge. He was a young officer, assigned to pilot me on an inspection tour. And I made some offhand remark about the... shuttle's engine efficiency not being what it should. And the next morning I found that... he'd stayed up all night refitting the fusion initiators. Well, I knew then that I wanted to have him with me on my next command.
