Quotes
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Tell me, Number One, is the entire crew aware of this little scheme to send me off on holiday?
Commander William T. Riker : I believe there are two ensigns stationed on deck 39 who know nothing about it.
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Oh, yes. Number One - about that Horga'hn you requested...
Commander William T. Riker : Yes, sir?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You and I need to have a little chat about that.
-
[Dr. Crusher tries to persuade Picard to take a vacation]
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Isn't there someplace special you wanna go?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The Astrophysics Center on Icor IX is holding a symposium on rogue star clusters. I had given serious thought to attending.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : The last thing you need is serious thought. Jean-Luc, why don't you go someplace beautiful, where you can relax and be pampered? You deserve it.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I'll give it serious thought.
-
Vash : You know, Jean-Luc, it's lucky for you we met. If it wasn't for me... If it wasn't for me, you'd still be back there sitting in the sun, relaxing.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : That happens to be why I came to Risa.
Vash : I'm sure you hated every minute of it.
-
Joval : The Horga'hn is the Risian symbol of sexuality. To own one is to call forth its powers. To display it is to announce you are seeking jamaharon.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [exasperated] Riker!
Joval : Do you seek jamaharon?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I don't even know what it means. The Horga'hn is for a friend.
Joval : I see. Someone close to you?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : That's right.
Joval : Someone you love?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I wouldn't go that far.
-
[Vash has greeted Picard like an old friend with an intimate kiss]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I think you've mistaken me for someone else.
Vash : You know, I think you might be right. Welcome to Risa!
[walks on]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [to himself] A simple handshake would have sufficed.
-
[after Picard has kissed Vash]
Vash : Still think I'm trouble?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I'm sure of it.
[they kiss again]
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Look, I don't wish to appear rude, but I am not seeking jamaharon.
Vash : All right. But you really should try it sometime.
-
[last lines]
Counselor Deanna Troi : Was it a relaxing trip, Captain?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Uh-huh.
[and heads off to his ready room]
Commander William T. Riker : I knew he'd have a great time!
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : From the moment I met you, I knew you were gonna be trouble.
Vash : You look like a man who could handle trouble.
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Promise me you will try and stay out of trouble.
Vash : I always *try*.
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Any woman who can beat a Ferengi at his own game bears watching.
-
Commander William T. Riker : Are you taking all these books?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Oh, well, I'll take some light reading, in case I got bored.
Commander William T. Riker : "Ulysses" by James Joyce? "Ethics, Sophistry and the Alternate Universe", Ving Kuda - you call that 'light reading'?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : To each his own, Number One.
-
Vash : [on the mythical Tox Uthat] First I have to find it - and that won't be easy, with Sovak watching me every minute.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I'll go in your place.
Vash : And what about me?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You'll remain here. It's safer.
Vash : Is that an order?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Absolutely.
Vash : This isn't a starship, Jean-Luc. I don't follow orders.
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You are outrageous!
Vash : Thank you. You're pretty stimulating yourself.
-
Vash : That kind of vacation isn't for a man like you. You need excitement.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Excitement? Spending the night in a damp cave, chasing after something we shall probably never find?
Vash : You're enjoying yourself, aren't you?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : ...Yes.
Vash : I just wanted to hear you say it.
-
Doctor Beverly Crusher : You told me your four days on Zytchin 3 were wonderful.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I lied.
