Quotes 

• Lt. Commander Data : If you met a double of yourself, would you have difficulty interacting with him?

  Lieutenant Worf : I think so.

  Lt. Commander Data : Why?

  Lieutenant Worf : I am not easy to get along with.

• Lt. Commander Data : I have found that humans value their uniqueness - that sense that they are different from everyone else. The existence of a double would preclude that feeling. Could that be the source of the friction?

  Lieutenant Worf : Or perhaps it is more a matter of seeing something in your double, something you do not like in yourself.

• Commander William T. Riker : [playing poker against himself]  Here's your fifty... and, uh, ten more.

  Lt. Thomas Riker : You didn't take any cards. You must be holding something. Why not make it a little sweeter?

  Commander William T. Riker : No, thanks.

  Lt. Thomas Riker : Playing it safe?

  Commander William T. Riker : [turning to Data]  You in?

  Lt. Commander Data : I will call.

  Lt. Thomas Riker : Here's your ten, and it will cost you another one hundred.

  Commander William T. Riker : [smiling]  I practiced in the mirror too long to be fooled by that face. You're bluffing. Here's your hundred... and... twenty more.

  Lt. Commander Data : Dealer folds.

  Lt. Thomas Riker : I thought if one thing were clear by now it's that you and I play things a little differently.

  Commander William T. Riker : Why don't we wait and see who comes out on top.

  Lt. Thomas Riker : I thought you were willing to settle for second, Commander.

  Commander William T. Riker : I've never settled for anything in my life. I know what I want, I know what I've got, and you'd be lucky to do so well, Lieutenant.

  Lt. Thomas Riker : Here's your twenty.

  [picking up more chips] 

  Lt. Thomas Riker : Three hundred more.

  Commander William T. Riker : Now I know you're bluffing.

  Lt. Thomas Riker : Are you in or not?

  Commander William T. Riker : Why don't we get this over with? I'll call your three and I'll raise you anything you've got left. Well?

  Lt. Thomas Riker : Take it. You always had the better hand... in everything.
