Wil Wheaton credited as playing...
Wesley Crusher
- Wesley Crusher: [to Riker] What should I say? How do I act? What do I do?
- Commander William T. Riker: Guinan, I need your help. Could you step over here a minute?
- Guinan: Sounds simple enough.
- Commander William T. Riker: [to Wesley] Now, first words out of your mouth are the most important. You may want to start with something like this.
- [to Guinan]
- Commander William T. Riker: You are the most beautiful woman in the galaxy...
- [to Wesley]
- Commander William T. Riker: But that might not work.
- Guinan: Yes! Yes, it would.
- Commander William T. Riker: [to Guinan] You don't know how long I've wanted to tell you that.
- Guinan: But you were afraid.
- Commander William T. Riker: Yes.
- Guinan: Of me?
- Commander William T. Riker: Of us. Of what we might become...
- [Wesley tries to interrupt]
- Commander William T. Riker: ... or that you might think that was a line.
- Guinan: Maybe I do think it's a line.
- Commander William T. Riker: Then you think I'm not sincere.
- Guinan: I didn't say that. There's nothing wrong with a line. It's like a knock at the door.
- Commander William T. Riker: Then you're inviting me in.
- Guinan: I'm not sending you away.
- Commander William T. Riker: That's more than I expected.
- Guinan: Is it as much as you hoped?
- Commander William T. Riker: To hope is to recognize the possibility; I had only dreams.
- Guinan: Dreams can be dangerous.
- Commander William T. Riker: Not these dreams. I dream of a galaxy where your eyes are the stars and the universe worships the night.
- Guinan: Careful. Putting me on a pedestal so high, you may not be able to reach me.
- Commander William T. Riker: Then I'll learn how to fly. You are the heart in my day and the soul in my night.
- Wesley Crusher: [interrupting] I don't think this is my style.
- Guinan: Shut up, kid!
- [to Riker, saucily]
- Guinan: Tell me more about my eyes.
- [Worf gives Wesley advice on romance from a Klingon perspective]
- Wesley Crusher: Are you telling me to go yell at Salia?
- Lieutenant Worf: No. Men do not roar. Women roar. Then they hurl heavy objects... and claw at you.
- Wesley Crusher: What does the man do?
- Lieutenant Worf: [dreamily] He reads love poetry...
- Lieutenant Worf: [back to his serious self] He ducks a lot.
- [last lines]
- Wesley Crusher: I'm never gonna feel this way about anyone else.
- Guinan: You're right.
- Wesley Crusher: I didn't expect you to say that.
- Guinan: There'll be others, but every time you feel love, it'll be different. Every time it's different.
- Wesley Crusher: Knowing that doesn't make it any easier.
- Guinan: It's not supposed to.
- Wesley Crusher: I think I need to try something a little less... dangerous.
- Lieutenant Worf: Go to her door. Beg like a human.
- Lt. Commander Data: Judging by her appearance, it is likely you and Salia are biologically compatible. Of course there could be a difference in the histocompatibility complex of the cell membrane, but...
- Wesley Crusher: Data - I want to meet her, not dissect her.
