Picard's Kid : Papa, help me build my castle.
Picard : Yes, I will in a few minutes.
Picard's Kid : Papa, thank you for the dolly.
[kissing his cheek]
Picard's Kid : She's very beautiful.
Picard : These are my children.
[laughing]
Picard : These are my children.
Guinan : Of course. Time has no meaning here, so you can go back and see them born or go forward and see your grandchildren.

Guinan : Soran is a name I haven't heard for a long time.
Picard : You remember him?
Guinan : Yes.
Picard : Guinan, it is very important that you tell me everything that you know. We think that Soran has developed a weapon, a terrible weapon, one that might even give him enough power to destroy an entire...
Guinan : Soran doesn't care about weapons or power. He just cares about getting back to the Nexus.
Picard : What's the Nexus?
Guinan : The energy ribbon that destroyed that ship was not just some random phenomena traveling through the universe. It's a doorway to another place that we call the Nexus, and it's a place I've tried very, very hard to forget.
Picard : What happened to you?
Guinan : It was like being inside joy. As if joy was something tangible and you could wrap yourself up in it like a blanket, and never in my entire life have I ever been as content.
Picard : And then you were beamed away from there.
Guinan : Pulled. Ripped away. None of us wanted to go, and I would have done anything, *anything*, to get back there. And once I realized that wasn't possible, I learned to live with that.
Picard : What about Soran?
Guinan : If he's still obsessed, he could be a very, very dangerous man.
Picard : Why would he destroy a star? Thank you, Guinan.
Guinan : [he stands and moves to leave] If you go, you're not gonna care about anything. Not this ship, not Soran, not me. Nothing. All you'll want is to stay in the Nexus, and you're not gonna want to come back.

Guinan : Gentlemen, something new from Forcas III?
Geordi : [as Data takes a gulp, the taste obviously disagrees with him] What?
Data : I believe this beverage has produced an emotional response.
Geordi : Really? What are you feeling?
Data : I am uncertain. Because I have had little experience with emotion, I am unable to... articulate the sensation.
Guinan : Emotion?
Geordi : I'll explain later.
Guinan : [Data takes another gulp and reacts in distaste again] Well, it looks like he hates it.

Picard : This isn't right. This can't be real.
Guinan : It's as real as you want it to be.
Picard : Guinan. What's going on? Why am I here?
Guinan : You're in the Nexus.
Picard : This is the Nexus?
Guinan : For you. This is what you wanted.
Picard : But I never had a home like this. Nor a wife and children, but these are all mine. Guinan, what are you doing here? I thought you were on board the Enterprise.
Guinan : I am. I'm also here. Think of me as an echo of the person you know, a part of herself she left behind.
Picard : When the Enterprise-B beamed you up from the Lakul.

Picard : Guinan, can I leave the Nexus?
Guinan : Where would you go?
Picard : I don't understand.
Guinan : Well, as I said, time has no meaning here. So if you leave, you can go anywhere, any time.
Picard : All right, I know exactly where I want to go. To the mountaintop on Veridian III just before Soran destroyed the star. I have to stop him, but I need help. Now, if you were to come back with me, together...
Guinan : I can't leave. I'm there already, remember? But I bet I know someone who can. And from his point of view, he just got here, too.
Picard : [cut to him approaching a cabin in the woods and seeing someone chopping wood] Kirk. James T. Kirk.
