Quotes
-
Beggar : [to Data, believing him to be a fellow beggar, gives him some tips on how to hit people up for money] Stockbrokers are as cheap as hell - don't even ask 'em. Best handout is a young man with his lady. You give him a chance to impress her by bein' generous. But stay clear of the sailors - likely as not, you'll get a fist across the jaw for your trouble.

Lt. Commander Data : I am trying to find two individuals with a snake.
Beggar : [mistaking him for another beggar] A snake? You are an odd feller, aren't you? But just don't be too particular where you get your funds from.

[Data is wandering around San Francisco, California, Earth in 1893. He sees an elderly beggar]
Beggar : Could you help out a forty niner? I fell down the shaft. I got blown over in th' tunnel.
Lt. Commander Data : That is unfortunate.
Beggar : It is most unfortunate. I require large amounts of whiskey, as a lineament.
Lt. Commander Data : I am sorry, but I do not have any whiskey to give you.
Beggar : I'll take a dime.
Lt. Commander Data : I am sorry but I do not have any legal tender.
Beggar : [understanding] Oh, we're on the same boat huh?
[as they walk down the sidewalk]
Beggar : This is my street. You better go find on of your own
Lt. Commander Data : I would be happy to do so, but I am presently in search of information.
Beggar : [thinking Data is looking for people who will give him money] Stockbrokers are cheap as hell. Don't even bother to ask. Your best handout is a young fella, with his lady. You give him a chance to show her he's generous. Steer clear of sailors! Most likely, you'll get a fist 'cross the jaw for your trouble.
Lt. Commander Data : Thank you for your advice, but I am trying to find two individuals with a snake.
Beggar : [gives Data a look] A snake? You are an odd fella, aren't you? Just don't be too particular where you get your funds from.
