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?

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.
