Counselor Deanna Troi
- Counselor Deanna Troi: Poverty was eliminated on Earth, a long time ago. And a lot of other things disappeared with it - hopelessness, despair, cruelty...
- Samuel Clemens: Young lady, I come from a time when men achieve power and wealth by standing on the backs of the poor, where prejudice and intolerance are commonplace and power is an end unto itself. And you're telling me that isn't how it is anymore?
- Counselor Deanna Troi: That's right.
- Samuel Clemens: Hmmm... Well... maybe... it's worth giving up cigars for, after all.
- Samuel Clemens: Where are we? And when?
- Commander William T. Riker: This is the 24th century, we're on Devidia II, and you're not supposed to be here.
- Samuel Clemens: Well, it seems to me I have as much right to be in your time as you had to be in mine. I wanted to see how you've conducted my future affairs.
- Counselor Deanna Troi: Your future affairs?
- Samuel Clemens: The affairs of mankind.
- Commander William T. Riker: But the disappearance of Mark Twain, one of the most noted literary figures of the 19th century...
- Samuel Clemens: Thank you.
- Commander William T. Riker: That's not supposed to happen.
- Samuel Clemens: I only took advantage of an irresistible opportunity, as any good writer would.
