Quotes 

• Guinan : You know, I've never been to a formal inquiry.

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : Well, I'll see if I can arrange one for you. All you have to do is disobey orders, violate medical ethics and cause an interstellar incident.

• Doctor Beverly Crusher : [narrating]  Klingons make threats as a matter of course. On the other hand, sometimes they follow through.

• Doctor Beverly Crusher : I don't want you to get involved in this.

  Nurse Alyssa Ogawa : Is that an order, Doctor?

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : Yes.

  Nurse Alyssa Ogawa : Too bad you're not my boss anymore.

• [Crusher has taken over the role of a facilitator in a scientific debate] 

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : [narrating]  I figured the hard part was over. I'd stepped out on a limb and it hadn't broken. Not bad for my first venture into scientific diplomacy.

• [after a test for his metaphasic shield has failed, Dr. Reyga is determined to prove to everyone that his invention is sound] 

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : [narrating]  I couldn't help but admire his tenacity. He just wasn't going to accept defeat, and I hoped he *would* prove himself. But that was the last time I saw him alive.

• Doctor Beverly Crusher : [after telling Guinan what happened]  So that's the story. That's how I ended my career.

  Guinan : Backhand volley.

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : What?

  Guinan : That's how I did it. Geordi kept hitting to my backhand at the net.

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : Guinan, two people have died on this ship, two lives that ended horribly, and you're worried about your tennis game?

  Guinan : Are you upset?

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : I don't know, you tell me. You're supposed to be wise.

  Guinan : Well, if you *are* upset, why are you moping around here, why don't you do something about it?

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : I've done everything I could think of; it got me fired!

  Guinan : Do you think Dr. Reyga killed himself?

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : No.

  Guinan : Do you think there's a murderer on board?

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : Yes!

  Guinan : Then why're you still sitting here?

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : Don't you get it? If I start digging around again...

  Guinan : [ironic]  ... you could be relieved of duty.

• [last lines] 

  [Dr. Crusher presents Guinan with a tennis racquet in acknowledgement for her support] 

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : Now, I did some research. This is the latest design, state of the art. It is specifically designed to cushion all vibration, so you will never have tennis elbow again.

  Guinan : Thank you... Doctor, this looks like a great racquet, but, uh... I don't play tennis. Never have.

• [first lines] 

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : [after her door has chimed twice]  All right, come in!

  [Guinan enters] 

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : Guinan. What's wrong?

  Guinan : I need a doctor. Geordi beat me in straight sets today; I think I've developed tennis elbow.

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : Well, you'd better go to sickbay. I think Dr. Selar is on duty.

  Guinan : I don't wanna see Dr. Selar, I always see you. I'm very particular about my doctors.

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : Well, you'd better get a new one, because I'm not a doctor on this ship anymore.

• [Dr. Crusher is treating Guinan's arm] 

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : Make a fist.

  Guinan : Do I have to hit you with my fist before you tell me what happened?
