Quotes 

• Barclay : The idea of being... deconstructed molecule by molecule, it's more than I can stand. Even when I was... a child, I always had a dreadful fear that, if ever I was dematerialized, that I would... never come back again whole. I know, sounds crazy, but...

  Counselor Deanna Troi : It's not crazy at all. You *are* being taken apart molecule by molecule.

• [Lt. Barclay has asked O'Brien to beam him over to the USS Yosemite and back again] 

  Barclay : Commander La Forge wants some tricorder readings on those fluctuations.

  Chief Miles O'Brien : We can do that from right here.

  Barclay : No, I... the... the transporter sensors may not be sensitive enough. Now, I'm giving you an order... Mr. O'Brien.

  Chief Miles O'Brien : Aye, sir.

  [he programs the transporter] 

  Chief Miles O'Brien : You don't mind my making an observation, sir? You forgot to bring a tricorder.

• Barclay : [to the replicator]  Water.

  Enterprise Computer : Specify temperature.

  Barclay : I don't care! Just give me water!

• Barclay : [working with O'Brien on the transporter]  You know, maybe ignorance really is bliss.

  Chief Miles O'Brien : Sir?

  Barclay : Well, if I didn't know so much about these things, maybe they wouldn't scare me so much.

• [last lines] 

  [O'Brien has introduced Christina, his pet spider, to Barclay] 

  Barclay : She's... very large.

  Chief Miles O'Brien : I found her on Titus IV. Almost stepped on her by accident.

  [Barclay starts to feel uneasy] 

  Chief Miles O'Brien : Oh, I'll... get us a couple of drinks, okay? Keep an eye on her, will you?

  Barclay : Sure.

  [O'Brien leaves. Christina meanwhile climbs on Barclay's arm] 

  Barclay : Er - Chief...?

• Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge : If we held Barclay suspended in mid-transport at the point where matter starts to lose molecular cohesion,

  Lieutenant Commander Data : The molecules would begin to emit nucleonic particles. We may be able to derive a pattern the computer would recognize.

  Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge : And reprogram the bio filters and screen the microbes out. I think this will work, Reg.

  Barclay : You suspend me? I don't like the sound of this.

• Barclay : Every single time that I tried to do it, I had this certain feeling. I guess you could call it... mortal terror.
