Quotes

Counselor Deanna Troi : You were really surprised they came back.
Voice of Armus : Yes.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Why? Because the others did not?
Voice of Armus : What others?
Counselor Deanna Troi : You can't hide the emptiness from me. The others - the ones who hurt you, who left you alone, rejected. The ones who make you so angry.
Voice of Armus : What do you know of them?
Counselor Deanna Troi : Only what you tell me.
Voice of Armus : I will tell you nothing!
Counselor Deanna Troi : Not now, but soon.
-
Counselor Deanna Troi : Who deserted you?
Voice of Armus : Creatures whose beauty now dazzles all who see them. They would not exist without me.
Counselor Deanna Troi : You were together?
Voice of Armus : They perfected a means of bringing to the surface all that was evil and negative within, erupting, spreading, connecting. In time, it formed a second skin, dank and vile.
Counselor Deanna Troi : You.
Voice of Armus : Yes.
-
Voice of Armus : Do you want to know why I killed her?
Counselor Deanna Troi : Your answer would be meaningless. That act had no reason.
Voice of Armus : Exactly! It had no meaning. I did it because I wanted to. It amused me.
Counselor Deanna Troi : No. You thought it would amuse you; but it didn't.
-
Counselor Deanna Troi : They won't give you what you want.
Voice of Armus : And what is that?
Counselor Deanna Troi : To break their spirit.
Voice of Armus : Oh, is that what I want? If breaking their spirit will amuse me, then that's what I will have.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Never!

Voice of Armus : [referring to Riker] Should I let him go?
Counselor Deanna Troi : You only ask to torment me!
Voice of Armus : Perhaps.
Counselor Deanna Troi : How should I answer? What can I offer except myself?
Voice of Armus : And would you give yourself for him? Would you give that much?
Counselor Deanna Troi : Yes. Without hesitation!
Voice of Armus : Just for him?
Counselor Deanna Troi : No, not just for him. I would do the same for any of the others.
