Goofs

  • Wesley opens a communications channel and says that Shuttle #2 is ready for takeoff. However, in the following scene, when the shuttle is seen powering up, there is a "01" on the outside of the shuttle. Oops.

In-Jokes

  • Picard mentions "Nausicans" in a conversation with Wesley on the shuttle- craft.

Quotes

Grebnedlog: "We are far from home. Our ship is the Mondor. It is broken. We look for things. Things that make us go. We need help."

LaForge: "Don't tell me, their rubber band broke, right?"

Grebnedlog: "We look for things. Things that make us go."
LaForge: "Yeah, so I've heard."

Reginod: "He is smart. He can make us go. We need him."

Grebnedlog: "We wish to be nothing if not persistent."

Grebnedlog: "Do not try to trick us. We can tell."

Picard: "I was no hero, but an undisciplined, opinionated, loud-mouthed young man who was far out of his league. It was a great and painful lesson, and I learned it well. I only hope you won't need to learn it as I did."

Wesley: "Don't worry, regarding women I'm in complete control."
Picard: "Really, I was..... rather had to work on that."

Riker: "Can you do it ???"
Gomez: "Count on it commander.."

Grebnedlog: "Your people are violent."

LaForge: "Looks like things are back to normal.."
