Quotes
-
Counselor Troi : [to Picard] My mother is beginning a physiological phase. It's one that all Betazoid women must deal with as they enter midlife.
Commander William T. Riker : Yes, it's something Troi warned me about when we first started to see each other. A Betazoid woman, when she goes through this phase... quadruples her sex drive.
Counselor Troi : Or more.
Commander William T. Riker : Or more? You never told me that.
Counselor Troi : I didn't want to frighten you.
-
Lwaxana Troi : [telepathically, of Riker] Is he still yours?
Counselor Troi : [telepathically] Humans no longer own each other that way, Mother.
Lwaxana Troi : Really? That's a custom we may have to introduce again.
-
Counselor Troi : It's only at midlife that a Betazoid female becomes... well... fully sexual, if you know what I mean.
Doctor Pulaski : Yes, I, I think I do. I also think that I saw the Captain on his way to her quarters.
Counselor Troi : I wonder if I shouldn't warn him.
Doctor Pulaski : No! As ship's doctor, I consider it an excellent exercise for his reflexes and agility.
-
Counselor Troi : [about her mother] She has decided to focus all her sexual energy on one male, who will, of course, eventually become her husband. It seems, Captain, that... you are the early favorite.
Commander William T. Riker : Congratulations, sir!
-
[Riker prevents Deanna from telling her mother off]
Counselor Troi : Why did you stop me? Somebody needs to set her straight.
Commander William T. Riker : I think I'll leave that to the Captain.
Counselor Troi : Coward.
-
[Lwaxana Troi is beamed aboard in a kneeling position]
Lwaxana Troi : [looking down] Legs! Where are the legs?
Counselor Troi : Where they belong, Mother - right under you.
-
Lieutenant Worf : Captain, we are being hailed by a small transport vessel just coming into range.
Counselor Troi : [horrified] Oh, my God.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : What's the problem?
Counselor Troi : What's she doing here?
Wesley Crusher : On screen, Captain.
Transporter Pilot : Starship Enterprise, come in.
Commander William T. Riker : We have you on viewer, pilot.
Transporter Pilot : Enterprise, I have a passenger, a VIP passenger who I more...
Lwaxana Troi : [shoving the pilot aside] Oh, let me talk to them. I'm sure I'm more articulate than that.
Counselor Troi : Mother.
-
Counselor Troi : You're scheming something, Mother. Don't try to fool me, I can tell.
Lwaxana Troi : You're always so melodramatic, little one. I'm not scheming. I'm deciding.
-
Counselor Troi : It's so like my mother to do the unexpected.
-
Counselor Troi : What stage is it in?
Lwaxana Troi : Oh, I have it completely under control.
Counselor Troi : What stage is it in?
Lwaxana Troi : Well, far enough along for me to enjoy it, little one.
Counselor Troi : Now I know why you wore that dress.
Lwaxana Troi : Wha...? Don't be ridiculous. This simple little dress? Nothing provocative about it.
Counselor Troi : What are we going to do?
Lwaxana Troi : Well, I'm going to do the only honorable thing there is to do - and I'd say your captain has the inside track.
Counselor Troi : Mother, don't even think it.
Lwaxana Troi : Why not? He was thinking about it all through dinner.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [Lwaxana walks off. Deanna sighs and follows. Cut to minutes later in Picard's ready room] I was what? I tell you, Deanna, for a telepath, your mother's accuracy leaves much to be desired.

Counselor Troi : An animal is always at its best when hunted.
Doctor Pulaski : Or when hunting.
