Quotes5

  • [Barclay has assured there would be no power shortage on the ship during an investigation of the power systems]
  • Capt. Picard: Good. I look forward to your report, Mr. Broccoli.
  • [long, frozen pause]
  • Capt. Picard: ...Barclay.
  • Holo-Picard: Sir! You have no sense of fair play!
  • Holo-Data: Your sword, sir.
  • Commander William T. Riker: I don't have a sword.
  • Holo-La Forge: How do you expect to fight without your sword, sir?
  • Commander William T. Riker: I don't expect to fight.
  • Holo-Picard: Ha! Do I detect a streak of yellow along the good fellow's back?
  • [the three "musketeers" roar with laughter]
  • Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Broccoli makes me nervous, Captain. He makes everybody nervous.
  • Capt. Picard: "Broccoli"?
  • Commander William T. Riker: Young Mr. Crusher started that, I guess it's caught on.
  • Capt. Picard: Let's just get that *un*-caught, shall we?
  • Capt. Picard: I'm just not accustomed to seeing an unsatisfactory rating on a member of my crew.
  • Commander William T. Riker: I guess the question is whether Mr. Barclay is Enterprise material.
  • Capt. Picard: And I assume by your request for his transfer that you think he's not, Commander.
  • Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Well, I hate to say it, but... I always thought I could work with anybody. But I just don't understand this guy. Broccoli makes me nervous, Captain; he makes everybody nervous.
  • Capt. Picard: Broccoli?
  • Commander William T. Riker: Young Mr. Crusher started that, I guess it's caught on.
  • Capt. Picard: Let's just get that un-caught, shall we? There's every indication that he served competently in Starfleet for years: ratings aboard the Zhukov were satisfactory. In fact, I recall Captain Gleason speaking quite highly of him before his transfer.
  • Commander William T. Riker: In retrospect, I wonder if Captain Gleason wasn't buttering our bread a little. He knew that we needed a diagnostic engineer. I've examined Barclay's psychological profile; he has a history of seclusive tendencies. It was noted at the Academy more than once.
  • Capt. Picard: And yet, he chose this way of life. He has made the same commitment to Starfleet that we all have.
  • [sighs]
  • Capt. Picard: It's easy to transfer a problem to someone else... too easy.
  • Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Captain, it's not like I haven't tried.
  • Capt. Picard: Try harder, Geordi. He's a member of your team. Try to find some way to help him to make a positive contribution; get to know the man better! Make him your best friend.
  • Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: With all respect, sir, my "best friend"? I can barely tolerate being in the same room with the man.
  • Capt. Picard: Then I suggest you put your personal discomfort on one side, Commander. Dismissed.
  • Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Yes, sir.
