• Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy : How old do you think I am, anyway?

  Lt. Commander Data : 137 years, Admiral, according to Starfleet records.

  Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy : Explain how you remember that so exactly!

  Lt. Commander Data : I remember every fact I am exposed to, sir.

  Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy : [looking at both sides of Data's head]  I don't see no points on your ears, boy, but you sound like a Vulcan.

  Lt. Commander Data : No, sir. I am an android.

  Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy : Hmph. Almost as bad.

• Lt. Commander Data : I thought it was generally accepted, sir, that Vulcans are an advanced and most honorable race.

  Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy : They are, they are. And damn annoying at times.

• Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy : Well, this is a new ship. But she's got the right name. Now, you remember that, you hear?

  Lt. Commander Data : I will, sir.

  Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy : You treat her like a lady. And she'll always bring you home.

• Commander William T. Riker : Where will I find Commander Data?

  Lieutenant Worf : Commander Data is on special assignment, sir. He's using our shuttlecraft to transfer an admiral over to the Hood.

  Commander William T. Riker : An admiral?

  Lieutenant Worf : He's been aboard all day, sir, checking over medical layout.

  Commander William T. Riker : Why a shuttlecraft? Why wouldn't he just beam over?

  Lieutenant Worf : I suppose he could, sir, but the Admiral's a rather... remarkable man.

  Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy : [in a corridor with Data]  Have you got some reason you want my atoms scattered all over space, boy?

  Lt. Commander Data : No, sir. But at your age, sir, I thought you shouldn't have to put up with the time and trouble of a shuttlecraft.

  Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy : Hold it right there, boy.

  Lt. Commander Data : Sir?

  Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy : What about my age?

  Lt. Commander Data : Sorry, sir, if that subject troubles you.

  Admiral Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy : Troubles me? What's so damned troublesome about not having died?
