• One of the best opening lines.

Riker: Our guests have arrived. They are eating the floral arrangements on the banquet tables. Crusher: I guess they don't believe in cocktails before dinner. Troi: Oh, my God. Are they vegetarian? That's not in there! Picard: Perhaps we should have the chef whip up a light balsamic vinaigrette-- Something that goes well with chrysanthemums.

• "I seem to be missing several memory engrams." (Geordi shows Data several microchips he is holding) "...There they are."
• Picard needs to get real, or get a new neck.

Beverly Crusher: You either need a new uniform or a new neck. Picard: Euchene Chefaw. My collar size is exactly as it was at the Academy. Beverly Crusher: Of course it is.

• In the event of a water landing, Data has been designed to serve as a flotation device.
• How do Picard and Worf distract a crazy android? By singing!
  • What sells the scene is Worf's panicked expression and shaking his head "NO!" before finally joining in.
  • When Data is reactivated and Picard asks him what he remembers, he immediately picks the song up where he left off.
• There's a really good bit when the bad guys decide to give up:

Lieutenant: Sir, Ru'afo's ship is hailing us. Picard and Riker: On screen. (they exchange looks) Worf: Captain, the Son'a crew would like to negotiate a cease-fire. It may have something to do with the fact that we have three minutes of air left. Picard: We have plenty over here, Mr. Worf. Prepare to beam aboard.

• "Definitely feeling aggressive tendencies, sir!"
• The moments between Data and Artim that aren't heartwarming - heck, even the funny moments are heartwarming!

Data: I have to go home now. Artim: Okay, bye. Data: Bye.

• After Deanna shaves off his beard, Riker meets up with Data and Picard on the way to the turbolift. At Data's startled look Riker remarks, to his clear consternation:

Riker: Smooth as an android's butt, eh, Data?

• • But what really sells it is a few minutes later, after they've finished catching up on current events, when Data asks to touch Riker's newly-shaved face - and then just shakes his head smugly, and walks off.
