Quotes 

• [during a conversation, Guinan suggests to Wesley several times to have a drink] 

  Guinan : What about a cup of nectar, direct from Prometheus?

  Wesley Crusher : No, nothing! That's the third time you've asked me.

  Guinan : It's what I'm expected to do. Don't you always do what's expected?

  Wesley Crusher : I try.

  Guinan : Even if it's not what you really want?

  Wesley Crusher : Sometimes. Sometimes it's more important to consider others before yourself.

  Guinan : Yes. But sometimes the game is to know when to consider yourself before others. Give yourself permission to be selfish.

• Wesley Crusher : Thanks.

  Guinan : For a dish of Dovlarian soufflé?

  Wesley Crusher : No, not for the soufflé. I meant... for the rest.

  Guinan : 't's why I'm here.
