• Geordi La Forge : I've never seen a sunrise. Not the way you see it.

• Captain Picard : We're going to stop by Sector 441 on our way to the Goran system.

  Geordi La Forge : They *are* in opposite directions.

• Commander Riker : [the Enterprise is rocked by a photon torpedo from the Son'a ship]  Photon torpedo. Isn't that the universal greeting when communications are down?

  Geordi La Forge : I think it's the universal greeting when you don't like someone.

• Commander Riker : [to Lt. Daniels]  Tell them our transceiver assembly is down, that we can send messages but not receive them.

  Lt. Daniels : I don't think they believe us.

  Commander Riker : Why not?

  [the Enterprise is rocked by a photon torpedo from a Son'a ship] 

  Commander Riker : Photon torpedo.

  [Walking over to Geordi] 

  Commander Riker : Isn't that the universal greeting when communications are down?

  Geordi La Forge : I think it's the universal greeting when you don't like someone.

• Captain Picard : When was the last time we aligned the torque sensors?

  Perim : Two months ago, sir.

  Captain Picard : They don't sound right.

  Geordi La Forge : [checking]  The torque sensors *are* out of alignment. By 12 microns. You could hear that?

  Captain Picard : When I was an ensign, I could detect a 3-micron misalignment.

• Geordi La Forge : I had to reconstruct Data's neural net and replace these. They contain memory engrams.

  Captain Picard : How were they damaged?

  Geordi La Forge : By a Son'a weapon. There's no doubt about it, Captain. That's what caused Data to malfunction.

  Captain Picard : But the Son'a report claims that they didn't fire until after he malfunctioned.

  Geordi La Forge : Well, I don't believe it happened that way.

  Captain Picard : Why would they fire on him without provocation?

  Geordi La Forge : All I know is that he was functioning normally until he was shot. Then his fail-safe system was activated.

  Captain Picard : Fail-safe?

  Geordi La Forge : His ethical and moral subroutines took over all of his basic functions.

  Captain Picard : But you're saying he still knew the difference between right and wrong.

  Geordi La Forge : In a sense, that's all he knew. The system was designed to protect Data against anyone who might try to take advantage of his memory loss.

  Captain Picard : And yet he attacked us, and he told the Ba'ku that we were a threat.
