Episode Quotes
(Wesley is looking for help on how to woo a woman. In Ten-Forward, Riker and Guinan are helping him by Riker showing his silver-tongue technique using it on Guinan...)
Wesley: What should I say. How do I act. What do I do?
Riker: Guinan, I need your help, can you step over here for a minute?
Guinan: Sounds simple enough...
Riker: Now, the first words out of your mouth are the most important. You may want to start with something like this (looking Guinan in the eye): You are the most beautiful woman in the galaxy.
(Guinan appears nonplussed. Wesley smiles)
Riker: But that might not work.
Guinan: Yes. Yes, it would.
(they both continue the play-acting)
Riker: You don't know how long I've wanted to tell you that...
Guinan: But you were afraid... (pause) of me?
Riker: Of us. Of what it might become.
Wesley: Commander?
Riker: Or that you might think that was a line.
Guinan: Maybe I do think that's a line
Riker: You think I'm not sincere?
Guinan: I didn't say that, there's nothing wrong with a line, it's like a... knock at the door.
Riker: You're inviting me in?
Guinan: I'm not sending you away...
Riker: That's more than I expected...
Guinan: Is it as much as you hoped?
Riker: To hope is to recognize the possibility. I had only dreams.
Guinan: Dreams can be dangerous.
Riker: Not these dreams. (Wesley rolls eyes) I dream of a galaxy where your eyes are the stars, and the universe worships the night.
Guinan: Careful... putting me on a pedestal so high you may not be able to reach me.
Riker: Then I'll learn how to fly. You're the heart of my day, and the soul of my night.
Wesley: (smiling) I don't think this is my style.
Guinan: (to Wes) Shut up, kid. (to Riker) Tell me more about... my eyes... (Wes leaves them to their wordplay)
