Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Data, I want this to be an away team of one - you. I don't think there's any reason to risk anyone else.
Lt. Commander Data : It is reasonable, sir. After all, I am a machine, and dispensable.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : In-dispensable is the appropriate word.

[in another time distortion, Picard, Riker and Data, inside a turbolift, come face to face with themselves outside the turbolift]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [inside turbolift] It's us before we stepped into the turbolift.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [outside lift] It's happening again.
Lt. Commander Data : [outside] I feel no disorientation.
Lt. Commander Data : [inside] Nor do I.
[turbolift doors close, leaving the outside crew alone in the corridor]
Commander William T. Riker : What was that?
Lt. Commander Data : I believe what could be termed as The Manheim Effect is becoming more pronounced.
Commander William T. Riker : This is where we started, if we are us.
Lt. Commander Data : Oh, we are us, sir, but they are also us; so, indeed... we are both us, at different points along the same time continuum.
-
Lt. Commander Data : I see time as a constant, whereas humans perceive time as flexible, hence the expression "time flies when you're having fun," which until now has always confused me.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Well, I want you to put a stitch in time, and, uh... save much more than nine.
Lt. Commander Data : Sir?

Commander William T. Riker : [about the time distortion] The captain of the Lalo described it as a hiccup.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Hiccup?
Lt. Commander Data : Actually, sir, that may be an incorrect analogy.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : How so, Data?
Lt. Commander Data : A hiccup is a spasmatic inhalation with closure of the glottis, accompanied by a peculiar sound. If we were to continue this analogy to a body function, what occurred would be best represented by...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Enough, Data.
-
Lt. Commander Data : [Manheim's experiments have created three Data's which trying to put a stop to them] Only one of us is in the correct time continuum.
Lt. Commander Data : But which one?
Lt. Commander Data : Me! It's me!
-
Lt. Commander Data : [to Captain Picard; about the possibility that the anti-gravity mines will help seal the hole in the space time continuum] Theoretically, yes. In actuality... I do not know.
