Déjà Q Quotes

  • (Q) "I know human beings. They're all sopping over with compassion and forgiveness. They can't wait to absolve -- almost any offense. It's an inherent weakness of the breed."
  • (Capt. Picard) "On the contrary, it is a strength."
  • (Q) "You call it what you will. But I think you'll protect me, even though I've tormented you now and again."
  • (Commander William T. Riker) "Fighting off all the species which you've insulted would be a full-time mission. That's not the one I signed up for."
  • (Q) "Picard thinks I can't cut it on his starship. I can do anything his little-trained minions can do."
  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "I do not perceive your skills to be in doubt, Q. The Captain is merely concerned with your ability to successfully interact with his little-trained minions."
  • (Q) "I've been entirely preoccupied by a most frightening experience of my own. A couple of hours ago, I realized that my body was no longer functioning properly. I felt weak, I could no longer stand. The life was oozing out of me, I lost consciousness."
  • (Capt. Picard) "You fell asleep."
  • (Q) "Who does he think he is, giving me orders?"
  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "Geordi thinks he is in command here; and he is correct."
  • (Q) "What do you like?"
  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "Although I do not require sustenance, I occasionally ingest a semi-organic nutrient suspension in a silicone-based liquid medium."
  • (Q) "Is it good?"
  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "It would be more accurate to say it is good for me, as it lubricates my bio-functions."
  • (Q) "This is not a moment I've been looking forward to."
  • (Guinan) "I hear they drummed you out of the Continuum."

  • (Q) "One of the boys with an IQ of two thousand and five."
  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "The Captain and many of the crew are not yet convinced he is truly human."

  • (Q) "THIS is getting on my nerves, now that I have them."
  • (Q2) "There's still this matter of the selfless act. Now, you and I both know that the Calamarain would have eventually destroyed the Enterprise to get to you. And that's really why you left, right?"
  • (Q) "It was a teeny bit selfless, wasn't it?"
  • (Q2) "GRRR, yeah, and there is my problem. See, I can't go back to the Continuum and tell them that you committed a selfless act just before the end. If I do, there's gonna be questions, there's gonna be explanations for centuries."
  • (Q) "My life as a human being has been a dismal failure. Perhaps my death will have a little dignity."
  • (Capt. Picard) "Q, there is no dignity in this suicide."
  • (Q) "Yes, I suppose you're right; death of a coward then, so be it. But as a human, I would have died of boredom."

  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "When Counselor Troi is unhappy, she usually eats something chocolate."

  • (Lieutenant Worf) "Delighted, Captain."
  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "I have the curiosity of humans; but there are questions that I will never have the answers to; what it is like to laugh or -- or cry. Or to experience any human emotions."
  • (Q) "Hm; well, if you ask me, these human emotions are not what they're cracked up to be."
  • (Q) "Red alert."
  • (Capt. Picard) "You must have so many enemies. Surely you knew that if once you became mortal -- some of them might look you up."
  • (Doctor Beverly Crusher) "Well, if I didn't see it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. According to this, you have classic back trauma. Muscle spasms."

  • (Q) "I wasn't the one who "misplaced" the entire Deltived asteroid belt."
  • (Q) "You have a moon in a deteriorating orbit. I've known moons through the universe; big ones, small ones. I'm an expert. I could help you with this one, if you let me out of here."
  • (Capt. Picard) "Q, there are millions of lives at risk. If you have the power --"
  • (Q) "I don't have any powers. But I have the knowledge, locked up in this puny brain. You cannot afford to not take that advantage, can you?"
  • (Q) "It was a mistake. I never should have picked human. I knew it the moment I said it. To think of a future in this shell -- forced to cover myself with a fabric because of some outdated human morality, to say nothing of being too hot or too cold. Growing feeble with age, losing my hair, catching a disease, being ticklish, sneezing, having an itch, a pimple, bad breath --"
  • (Q) "Having to bathe."
  • (Lieutenant Worf) "Too bad."

  • (Capt. Picard) "If you are human, which I seriously doubt, you will have to work hard to earn our trust."

  • (Doctor Beverly Crusher) "Well, don't expect too much sympathy from me. You have been a pain in our backside often enough."
  • (Q) "Your bedside manner's admirable, Doctor. I'm sure your patients recover quickly, just to get away from you."
  • (Guinan) "You could learn a lot from this one."
  • (Q) "Sure, the robot who teaches the course in humanities."
  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "I am an android, not a robot."
  • (Q) "I beg your pardon."
  • (Guinan) "I'd enjoy that. And you'd better get used to it."
  • (Q) "What?"
  • (Guinan) "Begging. You're a pitiful excuse for a human. The only way you're gonna survive is on the charity of others."
  • (Q) "It is a joke; joke on me, joke of the universe. The king who would be man."
  • (Q) "These aren't my colors."
  • (Commander William T. Riker) "I don't need your fantasy women."
  • (Q) "Oh, you're so stolid. You weren't like that before the beard."

  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "If your intention is to make me human, Q --"
  • (Q) "No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I would never curse you by making you human. Think of it -- as a going-away present."
  • (Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge) "Data -- Data, why are you laughing?"
  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "I do not know. But it was a wonderful -- feeling."
  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "Captain, the aliens have disappeared. And so has the shuttle."
  • (Commander William T. Riker) "Scan the sector."
  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "I have, sir."
  • (Capt. Picard) "Well -- I suppose that is the end of Q."
  • (Q) "AU CONTRAIRE, MON CAPITAINE. HE'S BACK."
  • (Lt. Cmdr. Data) "An irony. It means that you have achieved in disgrace what I have always aspired to be."

  • (Counselor Deanna Troi) "Why?"
  • (Q) "Because in all the universe, you're the closest thing I have to a friend, Jean-Luc."
