Quotes 

• Moriarty : Perhaps we'll meet again, madam.

  Doctor Pulaski : It could be a long time. Time won't pass for you, but I may be an old woman.

  Moriarty : But I'll still fill you with crumpets, madam.

• Doctor Pulaski : I have no idea what you're talking about.

  Moriarty : Of course you do, madam. The more you proclaim your ignorance, the more you try to mislead me, the more I'm on to you. Your every silence speaks volumes.

  Doctor Pulaski : Good. Then if you know what I'm saying when I'm not saying anything, what do you need me for?

  [she gets up] 

  Doctor Pulaski : Thank you for the tea and crumpets. I guess I'll be going.

• Doctor Pulaski : It's elementary, dear Data.

• Doctor Pulaski : To feel the thrill of victory, there has to be the possibility of failure.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You all right?

  Doctor Pulaski : Yes, except for being crammed full of crumpets.

• Doctor Pulaski : You're wasting your breath, Lieutenant. Saying that to Data is like asking a computer not to compute.

  Lt. Commander Data : Am I so different from you, Doctor? Are you able to cease thinking on command?

• Doctor Pulaski : All that he knows is stored in his memory banks. Inspiration, original thought, all the true strength of Holmes, it's not possible for your friend.

• Doctor Pulaski : Your artificial friend doesn't have a prayer of solving a Holmes mystery that he hasn't read.

• Doctor Pulaski : Lumps, Professor? What sort of lumps?
