- [Picard, turned into a child and under the ruse of being Riker's son, accidentally calls him "Number One"]
- Young Jean-Luc Picard: He's my number one dad!
- Commander William T. Riker: [explaining the Enterprise's systems to Morta in outrageous techno-gibberish] The Enterprise computer system is controlled by three primary main processor cores, cross-linked with a redundant melacortz ramistat, fourteen kiloquad interface modules. The core element is based on an FTL nanoprocessor with 25 bilateral kelilactirals, with twenty of those being slaved into the primary heisenfram terminal. Now, you do know what a bilateral kelilactiral is?
- Morta: Well, of course I do, Human. I am not stupid!
- Commander William T. Riker: No, of course not. This is the isopalavial interface, which controls the main firomactal drive unit - don't touch that! You'll blow up the entire firomactal drive.
- Morta: Oh, what... what i... , er, wait, er, what is a-a-a... a firomactal drive? Just explain it to me.
- Commander William T. Riker: That is the firomactal drive unit. It controls the ramistat core and keeps the ontarian manifold at 40,000 KRGs. The firomactal drive is powered by...
- Young Jean-Luc Picard: [threatening a Ferengi, who has occupied Picard's ready room, with a phaser] I believe you're in my chair.
- Young Ro Laren: Where did you get the idea that being short and awkward is some kind of wonderful gift?
- [Picard has been restored to his usual size]
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: How do you feel?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I feel fine. Everything... seems a little smaller.
- Young Ro Laren: I should be doing something instead of just standing around waiting for them to find a cure.
- Young Guinan: You're right. Let's go play.
- Young Ro Laren: What?
- Young Guinan: I haven't been young for a long time, and I intend to enjoy every minute of it.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Look at these fragments! They're... they're very nearly in perfect condition, and yet they're 700 years old.
- Guinan: So is my father.
- [Young Ro Laren is drawing the portrait of a woman]
- Young Ro Laren: It's my mother. The funny thing is, I never really drew a picture of her when I was young. It's just... for some reason I wanted to now.
- Guinan: That's the wonderful thing about crayons. They can take you to more places than a starship.
- Young Ro Laren: This is the first time these Jefferies tubes haven't seemed cramped.
- Young Guinan: How much farther do we have to go?
- Young Ro Laren: About fifty meters. Don't tell me you're tired!
- Young Guinan: [jocularly] I'm not as young as I used to be.
- Young Guinan: You were a jumper all right. The quiet ones, they always look so innocent. You think you can turn your back on them; next thing you know - bam! - they're bouncing on the bed.
- Young Ro Laren: That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! Most of the time I didn't even have a bed.
- Young Guinan: But you did have one sometimes, and I bet you jumped on it.
- Young Ro Laren: I most certainly did not.
- Young Guinan: Yeah, I can see it in your eyes. You can barely resist the urge to leap up and start jumping around like a Tarcassian razor beast!
- Commander William T. Riker: You don't really think I'm going to help you.
- DaiMon Lurin: I think that the mines on Ligos 7 can be very hazardous.
- Young Keiko O'Brien: Miles Edward O'Brien, I am still your wife.
- Chief Miles O'Brien: Well, technically, yes!
