Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : I just don't get it, Guinan. I can field-strip a fusion reactor; I can realign a power transfer tunnel. Why can't I make anything work with a woman like Christy? It's like... I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say.
Guinan : You're doing fine with me.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : You're different.
Guinan : No, *you're* different.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : But I'm not trying now.
Guinan : That's my point.

Dr. Leah Brahms : I am not used to having people question my judgment.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : And I'm not used to dying.

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : [after being denied access to Leah Brahms's personal files] Great! Another woman who won't get personal with me on the holodeck.

[La Forge inquires Guinan on her views about men]
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : As a woman, what's the first thing you look at?
Guinan : His head.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : His mind, of course.
Guinan : No - his head. I'm attracted to bald men.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Seriously?
Guinan : Seriously.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Why?
Guinan : Maybe because a bald man was kind to me once, when I was hurting. Took care of me.

Commander William T. Riker : Mr. La Forge, we need warp power now!
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Matter-antimatter mixture ratio settings... at optimum balance. Reaction sequence... corresponding to specified norms. Magnetic plasma transfer to warp field generators per program specs. Commander, we should be going like a bat out of hell!

[La Forge has suggested an alternative way to get out of the energy trap instead of letting the computer fly the ship]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Have you analyzed the risk factor?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : The numbers say it's even money. It's no better than turning it over to the computer, but no worse either - but I say forget the numbers! There's no way the computer can compensate for the human factor, the, the intuition, the experience.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : And the wish to stay alive.

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : You know, I've always thought that technology could solve almost any problem. It enhances the quality of our lives, lets us travel across the galaxy - even gave me my vision - but sometimes you just have to turn it all off. Even the gypsy violins.
Dr. Leah Brahms : Violins?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Different program.

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Leah, do you like Italian food?
Dr. Leah Brahms : Like it? Wait till I make you my fungilli.

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Everything we've done says we can't adjust that fast, but if we could, it might work.
Dr. Leah Brahms : I could do it.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Data couldn't even do it. It'll take a hundred, maybe a thousand adjustments every second. How are you gonna do it? It's humanly impossible.
Dr. Leah Brahms : I'm not human.
