Quotes13

  • Lore: [to Wesley] The troublesome little manchild... Are you prepared for the kind of death you've earned, little man?
  • Lore: Dr. Soong made me perfect in his first attempt. But he made me so completely human, the colonists became envious of me.
  • Lt. Commander Data: You lived with the colonists?
  • Lore: [nods] Until they petitioned Soong to make a more comfortable, less perfect android. In other words, you, Brother.
  • Lt. Commander Data: I could say 'Home, sweet home', sir - if I understood how the word 'sweet' applies.
  • Lt. Commander Data: [after discovering the disassembled Lore] Could this be another me? Or possibly my brother?
  • Lt. Commander Data: You consider it important to please humans?
  • Lore: It's not important?
  • Lt. Commander Data: There are many things of importance - some more than others.
  • Lore: And you want to be as stupid as them, dear Brother?
  • [the Enterprise is attacked by the Crystalline Entity]
  • Lore: [acting as Data] Captain, let me talk to it.
  • Capt. Picard: You didn't say you could do that.
  • [the Crystalline Entity is hitting the ship again]
  • Capt. Picard: Affirmative, talk to it!
  • Lt. Commander Data: How sad, dear Brother. You make me wish I were an only child.
  • Capt. Picard: Data? You all right?
  • Lt. Commander Data: Yes, sir. I'm fine.
  • Capt. Picard: Then get rid of that damn twitch! And put on the correct uniform.
  • Wesley Crusher: How can you be practicing something like sneezing when we're arriving at your home planet for the first time? Aren't you interested in that?
  • Lt. Commander Data: More than interested - fascinated. One might say, agog. But I also find sneezing interesting.
  • Lore: [after trapping Worf in a turbolift with him] Now show me your warrior fierceness.
  • Lore: Do you see now, the advantages of being completely human?
  • Lt. Commander Data: If you had an off switch, Doctor, would you not keep it secret?
