Q
Other Characters
Personal Favourites
Troi: Captain, I'm sensing great pain!!
Just about every single first season episode!
Riker: A Betazed woman, when she goes through this phase, quadruples her sex drive.
Troi: Or more.
Riker: Or more? You didn't tell me that.
Troi: I didn't want to frighten you.
Manhunt
Troi, getting dragged away from chocolate: God forbid I should miss my first look at the wormhole.
The Price
Troi to Barclay: I feel your confidence, your arrogant resolve. It excites me.
Hollow Pursuits
Troi: I am the Goddess of Empathy! Cast off your inhibitions, and embrace love, truth, joy!
Hollow Pursuits
Troi hologram: Cast aside your masks and let me slip into your mind.
Troi: Muzzle it.
Hollow Pursuits
Riker: Chocolate ice cream, chocolate fudge and chocolate chips. You're not depressed, are you?
Troi: I'm fine, Commander.
Riker: Would you like me to leave you two alone?
The Game
Troi: I never met a chocolate I didn't like.
The Game
How to eat a chocolate sundae: First of all, you have to spoon the fudge around the rim, leaving only the ice cream in the middle. Then you gently spoon the ice cream around the sides, like you're sculpting it. Relish every bit, make every one an event, and then, with the last spoonful, close your eyes.
Riker: I had no idea it was such a ritual.
Troi: Chocolate is a serious thing.
The Game
Ensign Ro: I was wrong, Counsellor.
Troi: You could easily have been right.
Disaster
Troi: I was just leaving the reception when this Katarian walks up to me and says, "Hello - Diane. I understand you're an empath. I'm a very - sensitive man myself. I'm doing a thesis on intraspecies mating rituals. Would you care to join me in some - empirical research?
Data: Did you help him with his research, Counsellor?
Troi: Absolutely not!
Data: I thought it was a topic you were interested in.
(No answer from Troi)
Timescape
Worf, on "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow": That is not a Klingon song.
Troi: It wasn't easy to translate. There doesn't seem to be a Klingon word for "jolly."
Parallels
Troi to Worf: I know Klingons like to be alone on their birthdays. You probably want to meditate, or hit yourself with a pain stick, or something.
Parallels
Riker: You just can't stay away from the big chair, can you?
Troi: I don't think I'm cut out to be Captain. First officer maybe... I understand there aren't many qualifications.
Disaster
Troi: Timeline? This is no time to argue about time, we don't have the time!
First Contact
Troi: Look. He wouldn't even talk to me unless I had a drink with him. And then, it took three shots of something called 'tequila' just to find out that he was the one we're looking for! And I've spent the last twenty minutes trying to keep his hands off me! So don't go criticizing my counseling techniques!
