Jenice Manheim
- Jenice Manheim: I've thought a lot about this over the years, and perhaps you're leaving out your greatest fear - the real reason you left.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Which was?
- Jenice Manheim: That... life with me would have somehow made you... ordinary.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [ponders this, then laughs embarrassed] You're wonderful. And am I that transparent?
- Jenice Manheim: Only to me.
- Jenice Manheim: You've done well. A great starship on the far reaches of the galaxy... It's everything you'd hoped.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [laughs awkwardly] Not exactly. Nothing works just as you hope.
- Jenice Manheim: Why didn't you come to meet me that last day in Paris?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I was afraid.
- Jenice Manheim: Oh! I didn't want *this*!
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: What?
- Jenice Manheim: The truth.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Oh, you want me to lie?
- Jenice Manheim: Of course! A nice, soft, painless lie.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Oh, I got the days confused, I thought it was Tuesday when it was Wednesday. I went to the Café Moulin instead of the Café des Artistes.
- Jenice Manheim: Ah! That's better. It was raining and you couldn't find a cab.
- Jenice Manheim: [after Paul and Janice Manheim have been beamed aboard the Enterprise] Jean-Luc. I thought the voice sounded familiar.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Hello.
- Jenice Manheim: I should have known. Who else would have charged to my rescue?
- Dr. Paul Manheim: This time, it will be different. I promise!
- Jenice Manheim: [laughs] It always is, my love. You said my life would never be dull, and it never has been.
- Jenice Manheim: I expect you to always come charging to my rescue.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I'll do my best.
