Quotes 

• Crosis : You'd do anything to feel that way again, even if it meant killing someone?

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : No. That would not be ethical.

  Crosis : You don't sound very sure of yourself. Is your ethical program functioning? Data? Do you have a friend?

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : Yes. His name is Geordi.

  Crosis : If it meant that you could feel emotions again - the way you did on Ohniaka III - would you kill your friend? Would you kill Geordi?

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : Yes... I would.

• Crosis : How did it feel to get angry? Did it give you pleasure?

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : It would be unethical to take pleasure in another being's death.

  Crosis : You didn't answer my question. Did it feel good to kill?

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : Yes...

  Crosis : If it is unethical to take pleasure from another being's death, you must be a very unethical person.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : What is your designation?

  Crosis : I do not have a designation. My name is Crosis.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Crosis? How did you get that name?

  Crosis : It was given to me by the One.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Who is that?

  Crosis : The One who will destroy you.

• Crosis : Resistance is futile. You will not resist what you've wanted all your life.
