[Q has made appear two scantily clad women to fawn on Riker]
Commander William T. Riker : I don't need your fantasy women.
Q : Oh, you're so stolid! You weren't like that before the beard.

Lt. Cmdr. Data : Captain, the aliens have disappeared. And so has the shuttle.
Commander William T. Riker : Scan the sector.
Lt. Cmdr. Data : I have, sir.
Capt. Picard : Well... I suppose that is the end of Q.
[with a flash, Q appears on the bridge with a trumpet, accompanied by a mariachi band]
Q : AU CONTRAIRE, MON CAPITAINE! HE'S BACK!
[the band starts playing, accompanied by Q with gusto]

Q : I'm forgiven! My brothers and sisters of the Continuum have taken me back. I'm immortal again! Omnipotent again!
Commander William T. Riker : Swell.

Q : [about the Calamarain, which he has tortured in the past] They simply have no sense of humor - a character flaw with which you can personally identify.
Commander William T. Riker : I say we turn him over to them.
Q : Oh, well, I take it back. You do have a sense of humor, a dreadful one at that.

Q : I know human beings. They're all sopping over with compassion and forgiveness. They can't wait to absolve... almost any offense. It's an inherent weakness of the breed.
Capt. Picard : On the contrary, it is a strength.
Q : You call it what you will. But I think you'll protect me, even though I've tormented you now and again.
Commander William T. Riker : Fighting off all the species which you've insulted would be a full-time mission. That's not the one I signed up for.
