Quotes 

• Lt. Commander Data : Ambassador Spock, may I ask a personal question?

  Ambassador Spock : Please.

  Lt. Commander Data : As you examine your life, do you find you have missed your humanity?

  Ambassador Spock : I have no regrets.

  Lt. Commander Data : "No regrets." That is a human expression.

  Ambassador Spock : Yes... Fascinating.

• Ambassador Spock : He intrigues me, this Picard.

  Lt. Commander Data : In what manner, sir?

  Ambassador Spock : Remarkably analytical and dispassionate - for a Human. I understand why my father chose to mind meld with him. There's an almost Vulcan quality to the man.

  Lt. Commander Data : Interesting. I had not considered that. And Captain Picard has been a role model in my quest to be more human.

  Ambassador Spock : [looks at him]  *More* human?

  Lt. Commander Data : Yes, Ambassador.

  Ambassador Spock : Fascinating. You have an efficient intellect, superior physical skills, no emotional impediments. There are Vulcans who aspire all their lives to achieve what you've been given by design.

• [On Romulus, Spock, Picard and Data enter Sela's office] 

  Sela : Excuse me, I'm just finishing up a speech - for you, Mister Spock. I rather enjoy writing. I don't get to do it very often in this job.

  Lt. Commander Data : Perhaps you would be happier in another job.

  Sela : Please, feel free to change any words that you wish. I've tried to make it sound Vulcan. A lot of unnecessarily long words.

• Sela : [blusters]  You'll never get out of this building.

  Lt. Commander Data : I disagree, Commander. After studying the design of this structure, I have determined that our best route of escape would be the underground exit to the east of this wing. I have disconnected certain security scanners to assist us. I am afraid we cannot allow you to warn your guards.

  [he uses the Vulcan nerve pinch on Sela, who goes down unconscious] 

  Ambassador Spock : [noting Data's mastery]  Not bad.

• Ambassador Spock : [threatening Sela with a disruptor]  I'm afraid I don't know too much about Romulan disruptor settings.

  [Sela drops her disruptor as well] 

  Ambassador Spock : [to Picard]  Cowboy diplomacy?

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [on Data's holographic creation of some Starfleet officers]  Well done, Mr. Data. Though... I don't think you got Commander Riker's hair quite right.

  Lt. Commander Data : [agrees]  I will be more observant in the future, sir.

  Sela : [blusters]  It doesn't matter what you do now. Spock's announcement will be made in minutes. Our forces will be on Vulcan before you can alert anyone.
