Lieutenant Commander Data
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Data, I want this to be an away team of one - you. I don't think there's any reason to risk anyone else.
- Lt. Commander Data: It is reasonable, sir. After all, I am a machine, and dispensable.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: In-dispensable is the appropriate word.
- [in another time distortion, Picard, Riker and Data, inside a turbolift, come face to face with themselves outside the turbolift]
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [inside turbolift] It's us before we stepped into the turbolift.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [outside lift] It's happening again.
- Lt. Commander Data: [outside] I feel no disorientation.
- Lt. Commander Data: [inside] Nor do I.
- [turbolift doors close, leaving the outside crew alone in the corridor]
- Commander William T. Riker: What was that?
- Lt. Commander Data: I believe what could be termed as The Manheim Effect is becoming more pronounced.
- Commander William T. Riker: This is where we started, if we are us.
- Lt. Commander Data: Oh, we are us, sir, but they are also us; so, indeed... we are both us, at different points along the same time continuum.
- Lt. Commander Data: I see time as a constant, whereas humans perceive time as flexible, hence the expression "time flies when you're having fun," which until now has always confused me.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Well, I want you to put a stitch in time, and, uh... save much more than nine.
- Lt. Commander Data: Sir?
- Commander William T. Riker: [about the time distortion] The captain of the Lalo described it as a hiccup.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Hiccup?
- Lt. Commander Data: Actually, sir, that may be an incorrect analogy.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: How so, Data?
- Lt. Commander Data: A hiccup is a spasmatic inhalation with closure of the glottis, accompanied by a peculiar sound. If we were to continue this analogy to a body function, what occurred would be best represented by...
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Enough, Data.
- Lt. Commander Data: [Manheim's experiments have created three Data's which trying to put a stop to them] Only one of us is in the correct time continuum.
- Lt. Commander Data: But which one?
- Lt. Commander Data: Me! It's me!
- Lt. Commander Data: [to Captain Picard; about the possibility that the anti-gravity mines will help seal the hole in the space time continuum] Theoretically, yes. In actuality... I do not know.
