Michael Dorn credited as playing...
Lieutenant Worf
- Capt. Picard: Return that moon to its orbit.
- Q: I have no powers! Q the ordinary.
- Capt. Picard: Q the liar! Q the misanthrope!
- Q: Q the miserable, Q the desperate! What must I do to convince you people?
- Lieutenant Worf: Die.
- Q: Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?
- Lieutenant Worf: Be quiet! Or disappear back where you came from.
- Q: I can't disappear - any more than you could win a beauty contest.
- Capt. Picard: Shuttle occupant, identify yourself.
- Q: [appears onscreen] Don't try to talk me out of it, Jean-Luc.
- Capt. Picard: Q, return to the ship immediately.
- Q: I just can't get used to following orders.
- Lieutenant Worf: Captain, the plasma cloud is moving toward the shuttle.
- Q: It's easier this way. They won't bother you after I'm gone.
- Commander William T. Riker: Engineering, prepare to extend shields.
- Q: Please. Don't fall back on your tired cliché of charging to the rescue just in the nick of time. I don't want to be rescued. My life as a human being has been a dismal failure. Perhaps my death will have a little dignity.
- Capt. Picard: Q, there is no dignity in this suicide.
- Q: [thinks] Yes, I suppose you're right. Death of a coward, then. So be it. But as a human, I would have died of boredom.
- Q: It was a mistake. I never should have picked human. I knew it the moment I said it. To think of a future in this shell... forced to cover myself with a fabric because of some outdated human morality, to say nothing of being too hot or too cold. Growing feeble with age, losing my hair, catching a disease, being ticklish, sneezing, having an itch, a pimple, bad breath...
- [looks at Worf]
- Q: Having to *bathe!*
- Lieutenant Worf: Too bad!
- [Q tries unsuccessfully to convince Worf that he has truly become an ordinary human]
- Lieutenant Worf: You have fooled us too often, Q.
- Q: Oh, perspicacity incarnate. Please don't feel compelled now to tell me the story of "The Boy Who Cried 'Worf'".
- Capt. Picard: Fine. You want to be treated as human?
- Q: Absolutely.
- Capt. Picard: All right. Mr. Worf - throw him in the brig!
- Lieutenant Worf: Delighted, Captain.
- Q: You can't do this to me, Jean-Luc.
- Lieutenant Worf: [grabs Q's arm and starts to pull] You will walk or I will carry you.
- Q: Given the option, I - I'll walk. You disappointment me, Jean-Luc. I'm disappointed.
- [Worf and Q enter turbolift]
- Q: Hey, I'm claustrophobic. I don't like it in here.
