[last lines]
Lt. Commander Data : [of the ill-fated emotion-chip] I am pleased to say it was damaged when I was forced to fire on Lore.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Pleased? Data, you've wanted emotions your whole life.
Lt. Commander Data : Yes. But emotions were responsible for what I did to you. I would never risk letting that happen again. My friendship with you is too important to me.
[Data is about to destroy the chip; La Forge intervenes]
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Data, I wouldn't be very much of a friend if I let you give up on a lifelong dream, now would I? Maybe someday... when you're ready.
-
Lt. Commander Data : I now realize that my life aboard the Enterprise was a waste. My quest to become human misguided. An evolutionary step in the wrong direction.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Data, all I'm sensing from you is anger and hatred. Have you felt any other emotions?
Lt. Commander Data : There are no other emotions.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Data, just because you haven't experienced certain emotions doesn't mean they don't exist. Lore is only feeding you the negative ones.
-
Lt. Commander Data : [to Picard] I am not your puppet anymore!
-
Lore : [his last words] I... love you... brother.
Lt. Commander Data : Goodbye, Lore.
-
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : [unbeknownst to Data, Picard has successfully rebooted his ethical program] You know, Data. I've been thinking about some of the times we've had together. Like the time we went sailing on Devala Lake. Remember that?
Lt. Commander Data : [Data seems a little distracted] I have a complete memory record of that day.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : You decided to go swimming.
[laughing at the memory]
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : And when you jumped out the boat you sank straight to the bottom.
Lt. Commander Data : I did not have enough buoyancy to get back to the surface.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : You had to walk over a kilometre to get back to shore.
Lt. Commander Data : 1 kilometre, 46 metres.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : It took two weeks to get all the water out of your servos.
Lt. Commander Data : I am ready to irradiate your existing brain cells.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Data... if you ever go back to the way you were, you might not be able to forgive yourself for what you're about to do.
Lt. Commander Data : [something is troubling Data] I am getting some anomalous readings from your neural net. I will have to do further tests before I proceed. Someone will come and take you back to your cell.
-
Lore : We don't need anyone else. We're brothers!
-
Lore : The reign of biological life forms is coming to an end. You, Picard, and those like you... are obsolete!
-
Lore : Maybe we should work on your sense of humor, brother.
-
Lore : When I stumbled on their ship, they were lost, disoriented. They had no idea how to function as individuals. They couldn't even navigate their own vessel. I gave them purpose.
-
Lore : Look at what I've helped them become. They're no longer mindless automatons. They're passionate! Alive!
Counselor Deanna Troi : Are you saying that you caused them to become individuals?
Lore : No. You did that, you and your friends. All I did was clean up the mess you made when that Borg you befriended returned to his ship.
Lt. Commander Data : Hugh interfaced with the others and transferred his sense of individuality to them. It nearly destroyed them.
-
Lt. Commander Data : The Borg aspire to the perfection my brother and I represent. Fully artificial life forms. We are their future.
-
Lt. Commander Data : Here is the visor. May I ask why you wanted it?
Lore : I thought it might look good on me.
