Lieutenant Commander Data
- [after being beamed aboard, Data hands over a weapon to Riker]
- Lt. Commander Data: A Varon-T disrupter. It belongs to Fajo.
- Commander William T. Riker: Mr. O'Brien says the weapon was in a state of discharge.
- Lt. Commander Data: [with an unreadable poker face] Perhaps something occurred during transport, Commander.
- [last lines]
- Lt. Commander Data: Your collection has been confiscated. All of your stolen possessions are being returned to their rightful owners. You have lost everything you value.
- Kivas Fajo: [scornfully] That must give you great pleasure.
- Lt. Commander Data: No, sir. It does not. I do not feel pleasure - I am only an android.
- Varria: Kivas finds ways to get what he wants from his people. His rewards for loyalty are lavish! His punishments for disloyalty are equally...
- [she touches her chin, possibly in reminiscence of some bad incident]
- Varria: ...lavish. You won't find anyone here on this ship to help you escape. Face it, android: he has you!
- [she leaves the room]
- Lt. Commander Data: [calling after her] It appears... he has us both.
- Kivas Fajo: If only you could... feel... rage over Varria's death... If only you could feel the need for revenge, then, maybe, you could fire. But you're... just an android. You can't feel anything, can you? It's just another interesting, intellectual puzzle for you - another of life's... curiosities.
- Lt. Commander Data: I cannot allow you to continue.
- [fires the disruptor]
- Kivas Fajo: Data. You will be catered to... fawned over, cared for, as you never have been before. Your every wish will be fulfilled.
- Lt. Commander Data: I wish to leave.
- Kivas Fajo: Almost every wish.
- Lt. Commander Data: I have been designed with a fundamental respect for life in all its forms, and a strong inhibition against causing harm to living beings.
- Kivas Fajo: What a marvelous contradiction - a military pacifist!
- Lt. Commander Data: Clearly Mr. Fajo has no moral difficulty with my imprisonment here.
- Varria: Mr. Fajo has no moral difficulties... at all.
- Lt. Commander Data: I must emphasize, Mr. Fajo, that I consider this captivity a hostile act on your part.
- Kivas Fajo: [indifferently] Oh, well... you'll get used to it.
- Lt. Cmdr. Data: [talking to Fajo's lapling while feeding it] Lu,lu, lu, lu, lu,lu, lu... lu, lu, lu...
