• [Moriarty has taken control of the ship's computer] 

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Somehow he managed to override the security lockouts and rewrite them. The man is brilliant in any century.

• [Data and La Forge indulge in another Sherlock Holmes adventure] 

  Lt. Commander Data : [as Holmes]  With practice, handwriting can be forged. It takes a trained eye to notice certain... discrepancies. For example, whether someone is right-... or left-handed.

  [he throws a matchbox to a holographic gentleman, who catches it] 

  Lt. Commander Data : Your brother was right-handed. The alleged suicide note was written by a left-handed individual, such as yourself!

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Er, Data... it's in his right hand.

  Lt. Commander Data : [puzzled]  Curious. There seems to be a problem with the holodeck's spatial orientation systems.

  Gentleman : [derisively]  London's greatest detective, huh?

• Moriarty : I only want what you have the luxury of taking for granted. Freedom. I want to leave this holodeck.

  Cmdr. William Riker : I think you know that's impossible.

  Moriarty : Your crewmates here in my little ship in a bottle, seem a bit more optimistic,

  Cmdr. William Riker : Oh?

  Moriarty : They attempted to use your transporter device to remove a simulated object from the holodeck.

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : If they tried it, they must have thought they were on to something.

  Moriarty : Their attempt was futile because their transporter was a facsimile. I expect more form you.
