Counselor Deanna Troi
- Lwaxana Troi: Can you imagine that dreadful little creature talking to me like that? Doesn't he realize that I am the daughter of the Fifth House of Betazed? Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx?
- Counselor Deanna Troi: The Sacred Chalice of Rixx is an old clay pot with mold growing inside it.
- Lwaxana Troi: Oh, well, perhaps one day, when you're older and wiser, you'll understand.
- Lwaxana Troi: [arguing with Deanna about getting married] You had your chance with Commander Riker. Look how you ruined that.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: I did not ruin anything! We've become very good friends.
- Lwaxana Troi: Well, all the better; you certainly wouldn't wanna marry an enemy.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: I'm sorry, and I didn't mean to get so upset with you at the reception.
- Lwaxana Troi: Oh, no. Deanna, try to understand. You're all I have. My only concern is for your happiness.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: I am happy. Why can't you believe that?
- Lwaxana Troi: Oh, I wish I could, but how much happiness is there in always being there for someone else and never being there for yourself?
- DaiMon Tog: Captain Picard, so good of you to meet us. We were on our way to Betazed to return our guests.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Of course you were, DaiMon. But you're still holding Lwaxana Troi.
- Lwaxana Troi: When will you get it through your thick head that it's over between us, Jean-Luc?
- Counselor Deanna Troi: [after having the transmission muted] I think I know what she's doing. You have to fight to get her back, Captain.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [Re-opening the transmission] Er, er. It's not over between us, Lwaxana. You're mine and I will not let you go. I insist you return to my side immediately.
- Lwaxana Troi: You mean, you still care?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: My love is a fever, longing still for that which longer nurseth the disease.
- Lwaxana Troi: Tell me more.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes, for they in thee a thousand errors see. But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise, who in despite of view are please'd to dote. Shall I compare the to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
- DaiMon Tog: You didn't tell me that you and Captain Picard were...
- Lwaxana Troi: You said you didn't want to hear about my other romances.
- Lwaxana Troi: I have a new love, Jean-Luc. And you can't keep killing all my lovers. That simply has to stop.
- DaiMon Tog: Killing?
- Lwaxana Troi: Oh, he's insanely jealous.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Listen, Tog, I must possesses Lwaxana. And if that means destroying your ship in the process, so be it.
- DaiMon Tog: Captain, I had no idea Lwaxana was...
- Lwaxana Troi: Don't let him threaten you. You can defeat him.
- Lwaxana Troi: [to Picard] The only way you'll ever get me back is over Tog's dead body!
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: That can be arranged. Mister Worf, arm phaser banks and photon torpedoes. If Lwaxana Troi is not in my arms in ten seconds, throw everything you've got at the Krayton.
- DaiMon Tog: But you will destroy Lwaxana!
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: When I have plucked the rose, I cannot give it vital growth again. It needs must wither. Nine, eight. 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Seven, six.
- DaiMon Tog: No, wait.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Five, four.
- DaiMon Tog: Beam her to their Bridge, now!
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Two, one.
