Jean-Luc, sometimes I think the only reason I come here is to listen to these wonderful...

Amanda Rogers:
[Amanda Rogers, an intern aboard the Enterprise, has just discovered she's a member of the Q Continuum, and unless she agrees to live among her own kind, Q has orders to kill her]
Kill me? But why? Capt. Picard:
They're not convinced that you are fully Q, and they are also responsible for your parents' death. Amanda Rogers:
My parents? [Picard nods] Amanda Rogers:
But what right do they have? [looking around Picard's Ready Room] Amanda Rogers:
Q, answer me! Are you afraid to face me? Q:
[Q materialises where Amanda was sitting a moment ago]
She's such a plucky little thing now, isn't she? [to Amanda] Q:
I really do enjoy you, you know? Capt. Picard:
Amanda's question deserves an answer, Q. You've made yourself judge, and jury, and if necessary... executioner. By what right have you appointed yourself to this position? Q:
Superior morality. Capt. Picard:
Oh, yes. I recall how you used your Superior morality when we first encountered you. You put us on trial for the crimes of humanity. Q:
The jury's still out on that, Picard. Make no mistake. Capt. Picard:
Your arrogant pretence at being the moral guardians of the universe strikes me as being hollow, Q. I see no evidence that you are guided by a Superior moral code or any code whatsoever. You may be nearly omnipotent and I don't deny that your parlour tricks are very impressive. But morality... I don't see it! I don't acknowledge it, Q! I would put human morality against the Q's any day. And perhaps that's the reason that we fascinate you so, because our puny behaviour shows you a glimmer of the one thing that evades your omnipotence... a moral center. And if so, I can think of no crueler irony than that you should destroy this young woman, whose only crime... is that she's too human. Q:
[amused]
