Data : [laughs] I get it! I get it! When you said "The clown can stay, but the Ferengi in the gorilla suit has to go!"
Geordi : Data, what are you talking about?
Data : During the Farpoint mission; we were on the bridge, you told a joke, that was the punchline!
Geordi : The Farpoint mission? Data, that was seven years ago.
Data : I know! I just got it! Very funny!
-
Guinan : Gentlemen, something new from Forcas III?
Geordi : [as Data takes a gulp, the taste obviously disagrees with him] What?
Data : I believe this beverage has produced an emotional response.
Geordi : Really? What are you feeling?
Data : I am uncertain. Because I have had little experience with emotion, I am unable to... articulate the sensation.
Guinan : Emotion?
Geordi : I'll explain later.
Guinan : [Data takes another gulp and reacts in distaste again] Well, it looks like he hates it.

Geordi : Data, are you all right?
Data : I believe the emotion chip has overloaded my positronic relay.
Geordi : We'd better get you back to the ship.
[tapping his combadge]
Geordi : La Forge to Enterprise.
[getting static, he tries again]
Geordi : La Forge to Enterprise.
Dr. Soran : Gentlemen, is there a problem?
Geordi : Dr. Soran. Yeah. There seems to be some sort of dampening field in here. It's blocking our comm signal. Can you shut it off for us?
Dr. Soran : Of course, I'd be only too happy to.
[he backhands Geordi, knocking him out]
Data : [cowering as Soran aims a weapon at him] Please. Please. No. Do not... . do not hurt me. Please, please.

Geordi : [after Data's "prank" on Beverly] Whatever possessed you to push her in the water in the first place?
Data : I was attempting to get into the spirit of things. I thought it would be amusing.
[taking his cat off the table]
Data : Spot. Is she still angry?
Geordi : I'd stay out of Sickbay for a couple of days if I were you.
-
Geordi : Data, you're not thinking about actually using that thing, are you?
Data : I have considered it for many months. And in light of my recent episode with Dr. Crusher, now may be the appropriate time.
Geordi : I thought you were worried about it overloading your neural net.
Data : That is true. However, I believe my growth as an artificial life-form has reached an impasse. For 34 years, I have endeavored to become more human, to grow beyond my original programming. Still, I am unable to grasp such a basic concept as humor. This emotion chip may be the only answer.

Data : [Worf accidentally falls into the water during his promotion ceremony] Doctor, I must confess, I am uncertain as to why someone falling into freezing water is amusing.
Beverly : Oh, it's all in good fun, Data.
Data : Fun?
Beverly : Fun.
Data : I do not understand.
Beverly : You've got to get into the spirit of things. Learn to be spontaneous, live in the moment. Do something unexpected. Get it?
Data : Got it.
[pushing her overboard, he sees no one is laughing]
Geordi : Data!
Data : That was...
Geordi : Not funny.
