Deanna Troi quotes from Star Trek: The Next Generation

Counselor Deanna Troi

Have you ever heard Data define friendship?

No.

Troi

How did he put it? "As I experience certain sensory input patterns, my mental pathways become accustomed to them. The inputs eventually are anticipated and even missed when absent."

Riker

It's just that our mental pathways have become accustomed to your sensory input patterns.

Data

Hmm, I understand. I am also fond of you, Commander. And you as well, Counselor.

Jean-Luc Picard

At the end, he gave me a choice: between a life of comfort...or more torture. All I had to do was say that...I could see five lights, when in fact there were only four.

Deanna Troi

You didn't say it.

Jean-Luc Picard

No. No. But I was going to. I would have told him anything. Anything at all. But more than that—I believed that I could see...five lights.

Troi

In a sense, you did give Moriarty what he wanted.

Picard

In a sense. But who knows? Our reality may be very much like theirs and all this might just be an elaborate simulation running inside a little device sitting on someone's table.

Beverly Crusher

(after restoring Troi's original appearance) Well, that about does it. How does it feel to have your own face back?

Deanna Troi

(feeling her face with her hand) Just right. Thank you.

Jean-Luc Picard

I should have done this a long time ago.

Deanna Troi

You were always welcome.

Jean-Luc Picard

So, five-card stud, nothing wild... and the sky's the limit.
