Vash
- Vash: That's the problem with being such a well-known liar. Even when I'm telling the truth, no one believes me.
- Servant: Oh, you'll wear yourself out with all that pacing, milady.
- Vash: Told you to stop calling me that. The name's Vash.
- Servant: Ooh, my poor lamb. You've got a brain sickness for sure. Oh, can't I get you something to ease your suffering?
- Vash: I could use a drink.
- Servant: Well, I wasn't thinking of spirits, milady, but I have some nice, fresh leeches - to drain the fever.
- [Picard enters his quarters, where a surprise visitor is waiting for him]
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Vash! How did you get in here?
- Vash: I came in through the window.
- [with the help of his men, Picard has rescued "Lady Marian"]
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: If you have hurt any of my people...
- Q: Sadly enough, they're all fine, but my point is, they could've been killed - and so might've you - all for the love of a maid. My debt to you, Picard, is paid. If you've learned how weak and vulnerable you really are, if you finally see how love has brought out the worst in you.
- Vash: Nonsense! You're absolutely wrong. It's brought out the best in him. His nobility, courage, self-sacrifice, tenderness.
- Q: Oh, you're good. You're really good.
- Vash: [of Q] He was right about one thing, you know. As ridiculous as it was, his game did prove that you still care.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I may not show my feelings to my crew; but I do have them.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: So, where are you off to now?
- Vash: I haven't made up my mind.
- [Q appears next to them]
- Q: After all, she has the entire universe to choose from.
- Vash: Meet my new partner.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Him?
- Vash: Why not?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I'll tell you why not!
- Q: Now, Jean-Luc, let's not be unkind.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: He's devious, and amoral, and unreliable, and irresponsible, and... and definitely not to be trusted!
- Vash: Remind you of someone you know?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: As a matter of fact, it does.
- [Picard, as Robin Hood, has come through the window of the castle to rescue Vash, as Lady Marian]
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: My staff and I were brought here by an old adversary of mine named Q, but I'll tell you the rest of that when we're safe. Come on, we don't have much time.
- Vash: And the others are outside?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: They're waiting for us back in Sherwood Forest.
- Vash: You... you mean you came here alone?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: That's right. Now come on!
- Vash: What kind of plan is that?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: It's an excellent one if you'd just hurry up!
- Vash: You do realize that our lives are at stake here?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Only too well.
- Vash: And this is the best strategy you could come up with, one man against an entire castle?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: You have a better one?
- Vash: How about this: you go, I'll stay here.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: And do what?
- Vash: Marry Sir Guy, if I have to.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Well, that's brilliant!
- Vash: You must be Commander Riker.
- Commander William T. Riker: I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage.
- Vash: I didn't mean to interrupt. I believe you were about to tell me that my eyes are as mysterious as the stars.
- Commander William T. Riker: You're Betazoid.
- Vash: Not at all. It's just that Jean-Luc does a very good imitation of you.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: A captain does not reveal his personal feelings to his crew.
- Vash: Is that a Starfleet regulation or did you just make that up yourself?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I'm sorry if you're upset.
- Vash: And I'm sorry if my being here embarrasses you.
