[last lines]
Lwaxana Troi : [looking at picture of Ian, Kestra, and Deanna; sadly] I remember the day I took this.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Mr. Homn said he saved it, in case someday you wanted to remember her.
Lwaxana Troi : [sighs; referring to Kestra] I wish you could have known her, Deanna. I wish you two could've grown up together.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Tell me about her. I want to know everything.
[they hug]

[Lwaxana Troi explains to Picard the Cairn's form of telepathy, who transmit images rather than words]
Lwaxana Troi : Actually, it's a very efficient way of communicating. If two Cairn were having this conversation, it would have been over minutes ago!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [feigning interest] Really?
-
Lwaxana Troi : Aren't you going to mingle, Mr. Woof?
Lieutenant Worf : I do not care for telepaths; they make me... uneasy.
Lwaxana Troi : Oh, don't worry. The Cairn couldn't read your thoughts even if they wanted to. Your brain isn't sophisticated enough.
[Riker smirks gleefully]
Lwaxana Troi : Neither is yours, dear. They can only communicate with other telepaths.
-
Kestra Troi : Mommy.
Lwaxana Troi : Kestra. Oh, Kestra. My precious one. I'm so sorry.
[they hug; Lwaxana sobs]
Kestra Troi : I have to go now.
Lwaxana Troi : [crying] I know. I know.
[Kestra fades away; Lwaxana takes Deanna's hand]
-
Lwaxana Troi : [crying] Every morning, she woke up with a smile.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Isn't it better to remember her like that? I just found out I had a sister I never knew. I'd like to learn what was good and joyous about her - to celebrate her life, not mourn it.
Lwaxana Troi : [crying] How? How can I do that?
Counselor Deanna Troi : Kestra was here a few moments ago. Talk to her.
Lwaxana Troi : [scared] No. No.
-
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : [to Hedril] It's called a visor. It enables me to see.
Hedril : Like my vocal enhancer. It helps me make sounds.
Lwaxana Troi : I see you've already met my star pupil. Hedril's picked up spoken language much faster than the others.
Lt. Commander Data : It is often the case that children learn languages more easily than adults.
Lwaxana Troi : Deanna was quite good at languages when she was little. Uh, where is Deanna?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Well, she must be here somewhere.
Lwaxana Troi : Hedril, darling...?
[Makes strange face]
Hedril : What?
Lwaxana Troi : Um, go find your father, dear. I want to talk to him.
[Puts hand to head]
Lt. Commander Data : Mrs. Troi?
Lwaxana Troi : Oh, I'm just a little tired. Heh. This constant telepathy with the Cairn... um... no, I'm... I'm fine, really.
[Leaves]

Counselor Deanna Troi : Milton was speculating that in heaven, roses wouldn't have thorns.
Hedril : Heaven?
Counselor Deanna Troi : Oh. Oh, uh, heaven is, well, it's um... how can I put it?
Maques : [after Lwaxana explains telepathically] Yes, I see. Thank you. "Heaven."
Counselor Deanna Troi : Mother, you're supposed to be avoiding telepathy.
Lwaxana Troi : I'm only trying to help, dear.
Counselor Deanna Troi : You don't look well.
Lwaxana Troi : I'm just tired. Maybe I'll sit down.
[Sits and watches Hedril play]
-
Counselor Deanna Troi : Mother, don't start.
Lwaxana Troi : I just think it's time for you to settle down, and if your father were still alive, I'm sure he'd say the same thing.
[They enter a turbolift; a crewman is there]
Counselor Deanna Troi : Deck eight.
Lwaxana Troi : [Telepathically] But, you 'll do exactly what you want... just like always.
Counselor Deanna Troi : [Speaking] Mother, stop it.
[They get a look from the crewman; Mrs. Troi puts her head in her hand as Deanna exits the turbolift]
Counselor Deanna Troi : Are you coming?
[Gets here mother]
Counselor Deanna Troi : What's wrong?
Lwaxana Troi : [sighs] You are so precious to me. You're all I've got.
[Hugs Deanna]
Lwaxana Troi : If something were to happen to you, I don't know what I'd do.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Nothing's going to happen to me.
-
Counselor Deanna Troi : [about Lwaxana] I was all set for another round of arguing when all of a sudden, she just fell apart.
Commander William T. Riker : She's under a lot of stress. She's preparing the Cairn to meet with the Federation Council.
Counselor Deanna Troi : It's more than that. I'm sensing some very erratic emotions from her. Even the clothes she's wearing are unusual. They're so subdued.
Commander William T. Riker : [takes Deanna's wrist] Maybe you just need sit and talk with her for a minute.
Lwaxana Troi : Commander! Take your hands off her!
[Takes his hand off Deanna]
Commander William T. Riker : [Surprised] Mrs. Troi...
Lwaxana Troi : Don't you "Mrs. Troi" me!
Counselor Deanna Troi : Mother!
Lwaxana Troi : Why don't you leave her alone? If it weren't for you, she'd be married by now!
Counselor Deanna Troi : That's enough!
Lwaxana Troi : Now, I am warning you - stay away from my daughter!
Counselor Deanna Troi : You're coming with me.
-
Lwaxana Troi : Oh, I don't know what got into me. Ohh... please, tell Will how sorry I am.
Dr. Beverly Crusher : You're fine, but you're psilosynine levels are a little low.
Lwaxana Troi : Psilo... wha - hmm?
Counselor Deanna Troi : It's a neurotransmitter involved in telepathy.
-
Lwaxana Troi : [begging] Go.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Mother?
Lwaxana Troi : [begging] Go away.
Counselor Deanna Troi : No. I want to help you. Why did you delete parts of your journal? Did something happen to you you don't want me to know about?
Lwaxana Troi : [begging] Leave me alone, please.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Who's Hedril, Mother? Why is she here? Is Hedril me, when I was a little girl?
Lwaxana Troi : [miserably] No. Oh, no. I'd never let anything happen to you. Never.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Did you let something happen to someone?
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Counselor, can you hear me?
Counselor Deanna Troi : [looking around] Captain?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Deanna, Dr. Crusher has become concerned that your paracortical readings have become erratic.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Are you talking to me from Sick Bay?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Yes. I want you to sever your connection to your mother.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Why don't you ask Maques to do it?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I'm asking you. That is an order, Counselor.
Counselor Deanna Troi : You're not Captain Picard.
Lwaxana Troi : [through Picard; begging] Leave me alone, please.
[Deanna leaves]
-
Counselor Deanna Troi : Mother.
Lwaxana Troi : GET AWAY FROM HERE!
-
Counselor Deanna Troi : What happened, Mother? What happened next?
Lwaxana Troi : [crying] I don't remember.
Counselor Deanna Troi : You have to. You can't hold it back. It's killing you.
-
Counselor Deanna Troi : [Telepathically] Mother? Can you hear me? Please come back to me. Please.
Lwaxana Troi : [Weakly] Help me...
Counselor Deanna Troi : Mother?
Lwaxana Troi : Help... me.
Counselor Deanna Troi : How? How can I help you?
[Speaking]
Counselor Deanna Troi : Tell me, Mother. Please.
-
Counselor Deanna Troi : You have to let it go.
Lwaxana Troi : [sobbing] How can I? I let her die!
-
Hedril : [as Kestra trying to put a leash on a dog] Help me. Help me, Papa.
Cmdr. Ian Andrew Troi : Here.
Lwaxana Troi : [in background; begging] Please, don't make me go through this again.
Cmdr. Ian Andrew Troi : Now hold on to him. Don't let him run off.
Hedril : I will. Mommy, can we go play by the water?
Lwaxana Troi : [from background] No, Kestra, stay here with us.
Hedril : Please.
