Lieutenant Commander Data
- Lt. Commander Data: In almost all societies, it is traditional to say a ritual farewell to those you call friends. I never knew what a friend was until I met Geordi. He spoke to me as though I were human. He treated me no differently from anyone else. He accepted me for what I am. And that, I have learned, is friendship.
- [pause]
- Lt. Commander Data: But I do not know how to say goodbye.
- Lt. Commander Data: Geordi. It is good to see you.
- Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Thanks, Data. I've never been to a better funeral.
- [Data is asking Worf for advice about La Forge's and Ro's funeral; the "ghostly" La Forge and Ro are watching]
- Lt. Commander Data: Ensign Ro was a Bajoran. Her beliefs should be reflected as well. However, their death rituals are quite complicated.
- Ensign Ro Laren: [groans] Oh, please, not the death chant.
- Lieutenant Worf: The Bajoran death chant is over two hours long.
- Lt. Commander Data: Do you think the others will find this service appropriate?
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: Look around you, Data. Everybody's sharing their memories of Geordi and Ro, laughing and talking. What could be more appropriate than that?
- [first lines]
- Captain Picard: Time, Mister Data?
- Lt. Commander Data: We will arrive within transporter range in 3 minutes 21 seconds.
- Ensign McDowell: I've finally established audio contact with the Romulan ship.
- Romulan Officer: [over communicator] Main power failing. No way to stop the overload.
- Captain Picard: Enterprise to Romulan vessel. We are en route to your position.
- Romulan Officer: [over communicator] Enterprise, what is your time of arrival? We are facing an imminent core breach.
- Captain Picard: Repeat your last transmission.
- Ensign McDowell: I'm sorry, Captain. They've stopped transmitting.
- Captain Picard: Picard to Riker.
