- Commander Dr. Beverly Crusher: [Dr. Crusher, in unexplained bout of irrational anger has slapped her son, Wesley. She is deeply shocked and hurt by what she had just done] ... And then I just slapped him. Really hard. *I* slapped Wesley.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: Do you know why you did it?
- Commander Dr. Beverly Crusher: [heartbroken] I've NEVER hit my son in his life.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: [serious] Beverly, This is important. What were you thinking when you hit Wesley.
- Commander Dr. Beverly Crusher: I wasn't thinking anything. I was... just angry.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: And Weseley didn't provoke you in any way? It wasn't anything he said, or anything he did?
- Commander Dr. Beverly Crusher: [at a loss] No, that was just it. It was a sudden burst of anger. I still can't believe I did it.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: I don't know why you did it either. But I can tell you that I've heard the same kind of story from ten different people in the last two days.
