• [Lavelle, Taurik and Ben are observing Worf and Sito talking] 

  Sam Lavelle : What could they be talking about?

  Sam Lavelle : You think Worf's chewing her out?

  Ben : No, he always looks like that.

• Sam Lavelle : My grandfather was Canadian, you know.

  Commander William T. Riker : Really?

  Sam Lavelle : Aren't you one too?

  Commander William T. Riker : [confused]  A grandfather?

  Sam Lavelle : [laughs nervously]  No, Canadian, sir, Canadian.

  Commander William T. Riker : No, I grew up in Alaska.

  Sam Lavelle : Oh. Well, they both... get a lot of snow.

• Sam Lavelle : [trying to influence the senior staff telepathically]  Promote me please, so I can make lieutenant and have my own room.

  Taurik : If you're unhappy sharing quarters with me, then you should put in for a new room assignment - just in case you're not promoted.

• Ben : How about some blackjack?

  Sam Lavelle : Uh, I've gotta get some sleep, so I can be sharp tomorrow.

  Ben : Why? So you can get promoted, have more responsibility and have to get to sleep even earlier?

• [in a poker round] 

  Counselor Deanna Troi : It seems to me that you and Lavelle are a lot alike.

  Commander William T. Riker : What? We're not at all alike!

  Doctor Beverly Crusher : You're bluffing.

  [in another poker round] 

  Sam Lavelle : You think so?
