Barclay
- [Lt. Barclay has asked O'Brien to beam him over to the USS Yosemite and back again]
- Barclay: Commander La Forge wants some tricorder readings on those fluctuations.
- Chief Miles O'Brien: We can do that from right here.
- Barclay: No, I... the... the transporter sensors may not be sensitive enough. Now, I'm giving you an order... Mr. O'Brien.
- Chief Miles O'Brien: Aye, sir.
- [he programs the transporter]
- Chief Miles O'Brien: You don't mind my making an observation, sir? You forgot to bring a tricorder.
- Barclay: The idea of being... deconstructed molecule by molecule, it's more than I can stand. Even when I was... a child, I always had a dreadful fear that, if ever I was dematerialized, that I would... never come back again whole. I know, sounds crazy, but...
- Counselor Deanna Troi: It's not crazy at all. You *are* being taken apart molecule by molecule.
- Barclay: [to the replicator] Water.
- Enterprise Computer: Specify temperature.
- Barclay: I don't care! Just give me water!
- Barclay: [working with O'Brien on the transporter] You know, maybe ignorance really is bliss.
- Chief Miles O'Brien: Sir?
- Barclay: Well, if I didn't know so much about these things, maybe they wouldn't scare me so much.
- [last lines]
- [O'Brien has introduced Christina, his pet spider, to Barclay]
- Barclay: She's... very large.
- Chief Miles O'Brien: I found her on Titus IV. Almost stepped on her by accident.
- [Barclay starts to feel uneasy]
- Chief Miles O'Brien: Oh, I'll... get us a couple of drinks, okay? Keep an eye on her, will you?
- Barclay: Sure.
- [O'Brien leaves. Christina meanwhile climbs on Barclay's arm]
- Barclay: Er - Chief...?
- Barclay: Every single time that I tried to do it, I had this certain feeling. I guess you could call it... mortal terror.
- Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge: If we held Barclay suspended in mid-transport at the point where matter starts to lose molecular cohesion,
- Lieutenant Commander Data: The molecules would begin to emit nucleonic particles. We may be able to derive a pattern the computer would recognize.
- Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge: And reprogram the bio filters and screen the microbes out. I think this will work, Reg.
- Barclay: You suspend me? I don't like the sound of this.
