Marina Sirtis: Counselor Deanna Troi

Quotes 

• Counselor Deanna Troi : Dr. Stubbs, I know how much this means to you...

  Dr. Paul Stubbs : My dear Counselor. No insult intended; but please turn off your beam into my soul.

• Counselor Deanna Troi : Your self-portrait is so practiced, so polished.

  Dr. Paul Stubbs : Yes. Isn't it, though?

  Counselor Deanna Troi : It's stretched so tight, the tension fills this room. And if you finally fail - I fear it will snap.

  Dr. Paul Stubbs : A good try, Counselor. But sometimes, when you reach beneath a man's self-portrait - as you so eloquently put it - deep down inside, what you find... is nothing at all.
