Quotes
-
Vash : That's the problem with being such a well-known liar. Even when I'm telling the truth, no one believes me.
-
Servant : Oh, you'll wear yourself out with all that pacing, milady.
Vash : Told you to stop calling me that. The name's Vash.
Servant : Ooh, my poor lamb. You've got a brain sickness for sure. Oh, can't I get you something to ease your suffering?
Vash : I could use a drink.
Servant : Well, I wasn't thinking of spirits, milady, but I have some nice, fresh leeches - to drain the fever.

[Picard enters his quarters, where a surprise visitor is waiting for him]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Vash! How did you get in here?
Vash : I came in through the window.
-
[with the help of his men, Picard has rescued "Lady Marian"]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : If you have hurt any of my people...
Q : Sadly enough, they're all fine, but my point is, they could've been killed - and so might've you - all for the love of a maid. My debt to you, Picard, is paid. If you've learned how weak and vulnerable you really are, if you finally see how love has brought out the worst in you.
Vash : Nonsense! You're absolutely wrong. It's brought out the best in him. His nobility, courage, self-sacrifice, tenderness.
Q : Oh, you're good. You're really good.
-
Vash : [of Q] He was right about one thing, you know. As ridiculous as it was, his game did prove that you still care.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I may not show my feelings to my crew; but I do have them.
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : So, where are you off to now?
Vash : I haven't made up my mind.
[Q appears next to them]
Q : After all, she has the entire universe to choose from.
Vash : Meet my new partner.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Him?
Vash : Why not?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I'll tell you why not!
Q : Now, Jean-Luc, let's not be unkind.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : He's devious, and amoral, and unreliable, and irresponsible, and... and definitely not to be trusted!
Vash : Remind you of someone you know?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : As a matter of fact, it does.

[Picard, as Robin Hood, has come through the window of the castle to rescue Vash, as Lady Marian]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : My staff and I were brought here by an old adversary of mine named Q, but I'll tell you the rest of that when we're safe. Come on, we don't have much time.
Vash : And the others are outside?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : They're waiting for us back in Sherwood Forest.
Vash : You... you mean you came here alone?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : That's right. Now come on!
Vash : What kind of plan is that?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : It's an excellent one if you'd just hurry up!
Vash : You do realize that our lives are at stake here?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Only too well.
Vash : And this is the best strategy you could come up with, one man against an entire castle?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You have a better one?
Vash : How about this: you go, I'll stay here.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : And do what?
Vash : Marry Sir Guy, if I have to.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Well, that's brilliant!
-
Vash : You must be Commander Riker.
Commander William T. Riker : I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage.
Vash : I didn't mean to interrupt. I believe you were about to tell me that my eyes are as mysterious as the stars.
Commander William T. Riker : You're Betazoid.
Vash : Not at all. It's just that Jean-Luc does a very good imitation of you.
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : A captain does not reveal his personal feelings to his crew.
Vash : Is that a Starfleet regulation or did you just make that up yourself?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I'm sorry if you're upset.
Vash : And I'm sorry if my being here embarrasses you.

[last lines]
Vash : Goodbye, Jean-Luc.
