Commander William Thomas 'Will' Riker
- Commander William T. Riker: [after Barclay has managed to raise the shield strength by 300%] Mr. Barclay! Everyone's still trying to figure out exactly how you did it.
- Barclay: Well, it... it just occurred to me that I could set up a frequency harmonic between the deflector and the shield grid, using the warp field generator as a power flow anti-attenuator, and that, of course, naturally created an amplification of the inherent energy output.
- Commander William T. Riker: [clueless] U-huh, I see that...
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: The question is, how're we going to deal with it?
- Commander William T. Riker: We could confine him to his quarters.
- Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: How can we do that? What's he done? I mean, we're talking about locking a man up for being too smart.
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: He taught violin technique at the music school last night.
- Commander William T. Riker: I didn't know Barclay played the violin.
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: He didn't. Not until last night.
