[La Forge is in competition of prestige with Cmdr. Kaplan, chief engineer of the Intrepid]
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : [handing Data a data PADD] I just received this from Commander Kaplan, subspace.
Lt. Commander Data : [reads] "La Forge. I got the Intrepid's power conversion levels up to 97.1%. Maybe you should try cleaning your plasma grid once in a while".
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Can you believe the nerve of that guy?
Lt. Commander Data : [bewildered] We perform maintenance on the plasma grid at regular intervals.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : I know. He's just trying to get me angry.
[he adjusts something on a control panel]
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : There - that should do it. Computer, what are the current power conversion levels?
Enterprise Computer : Power conversion levels are at 97.2%.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Too bad, Mr. Kaplan!
[sniggers gleefully]

[Spot is sitting on Data's computer console]
Lt. Commander Data : Spot. Spot. Spot. Down. Spot. Down. Down.
[Spot does not react. Data sighs, takes her off the console and sets her on the floor]
Lt. Commander Data : Spot... Down. This is down. Down is good.
[lifts her up again]
Lt. Commander Data : This is up. Up is 'no'.
-
Lt. Commander Data : Why is Spot under the bed?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Probably because she knows if I catch her, I'm gonna kill her.
-
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : [about training Spot] I've got an idea: how about a phaser? A low stun setting at just the right moment might do the trick.
Lt. Commander Data : Geordi - I cannot stun my cat.
-
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : My sister didn't know a thing about animals, and she was able to train *her* cat. How complicated could it be?
Lt. Commander Data : What did she train her cat to do?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : She had that cat jumping into her arm on command.
Lt. Commander Data : Interesting. Perhaps I could modify your sister's techniques to keep Spot from jumping on the console. Do you know how she was able to train her cat?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Well, as I recall, she walked around for two months with a piece of tuna in her blouse.

[first lines]
Lt. Commander Data : Geordi?
Lt. Commander La Forge : In here, Data.
[Data goes through to the bedroom to find Geordi crouching by the bed]
Lt. Commander La Forge : Got her now. She's trapped.
[He looks under the bed as Data joins him]
Lt. Commander La Forge : Come on out of there, you. Hey, hey, don't you spit at me.
