Quotes 

• Jenice Manheim : I've thought a lot about this over the years, and perhaps you're leaving out your greatest fear - the real reason you left.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Which was?

  Jenice Manheim : That... life with me would have somehow made you... ordinary.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [ponders this, then laughs embarrassed]  You're wonderful. And am I that transparent?

  Jenice Manheim : Only to me.

• Jenice Manheim : You've done well. A great starship on the far reaches of the galaxy... It's everything you'd hoped.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [laughs awkwardly]  Not exactly. Nothing works just as you hope.

• Jenice Manheim : Why didn't you come to meet me that last day in Paris?

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I was afraid.

  Jenice Manheim : Oh! I didn't want *this*!

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : What?

  Jenice Manheim : The truth.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Oh, you want me to lie?

  Jenice Manheim : Of course! A nice, soft, painless lie.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Oh, I got the days confused, I thought it was Tuesday when it was Wednesday. I went to the Café Moulin instead of the Café des Artistes.

  Jenice Manheim : Ah! That's better. It was raining and you couldn't find a cab.

• Jenice Manheim : [after Paul and Janice Manheim have been beamed aboard the Enterprise]  Jean-Luc. I thought the voice sounded familiar.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Hello.

  Jenice Manheim : I should have known. Who else would have charged to my rescue?

• Dr. Paul Manheim : This time, it will be different. I promise!

  Jenice Manheim : [laughs]  It always is, my love. You said my life would never be dull, and it never has been.

• Jenice Manheim : Thank you for Paris.

• Jenice Manheim : I expect you to always come charging to my rescue.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I'll do my best.
