• Lt. Commander Data : I believe you and I have something in common.

  Roga Danar : We do?

  Lt. Commander Data : Yes. We have both been programed.

  Roga Danar : Ah, yes. Yes, you've been talking to Counselor Troi. It is not at all the same, android.

  Lt. Commander Data : I do not mean to belittle your condition. I understand your dilemma. But... I am curious. My program can be altered. Yours cannot?

  Roga Danar : The man I was is still inside me, but this... this conditioning has been imposed - woven together with my thoughts, and my feelings, and my responses. How do you separate the program from the man?

  Lt. Commander Data : Without further analysis of your condition from Counselor Troi or Dr. Crusher, I cannot say. But I believe it is possible.

  Roga Danar : Yeah, *doctors*! The Angosian *doctors* did this to me. If it could be undone, wouldn't they undo it?

  Lt. Commander Data : I cannot answer that.

  Roga Danar : Nor can I. Yet I ask myself that question every moment of every day.

• Roga Danar : My improved reflexes have allowed me to kill 84 times. And my improved memory lets me remember each of those 84 faces. Can you understand how that feels?

  Lt. Commander Data : I am incapable of any feeling.

  Roga Danar : Why, then I envy you.

• Capt. Picard : And my understanding is that these men are programed to survive, is that correct?

  Counselor Deanna Troi : Yes, Captain.

  Capt. Picard : And that they will not kill unless their survival is at stake?

  Lt. Commander Data : It is against their nature to do so, Captain.

  Capt. Picard : Then let us hope they do not believe their survival is at stake.

• Commander William T. Riker : Status report, Mr. Data.

  Lt. Commander Data : I am afraid the prisoner has eluded us, sir.

  Capt. Picard : [incredulous]  Eluded the Enterprise?

• Capt. Picard : Mr. Danar, I'm transferring you to Angosian Security. They're en route, they will arrive shortly. I wanted to tell you... I have no choice. The Prime Minister insisted, and we have no right to refuse.

  Roga Danar : Well, you would be foolish to consider it otherwise, Captain, for they are very correct. I am dangerous. There is no place for me in a civilized society.

  Counselor Deanna Troi : I do not believe that.

  Lt. Commander Data : Nor do I.

  Capt. Picard : I respect my officers' judgments. I wish I could help further. If a way appears, I will.

  Roga Danar : I appreciate your telling me that face to face.

  Capt. Picard : I thought you deserved that much.

  Roga Danar : And you deserve to know that I must use whatever means I can to escape.
