- Lieutenant Worf: You have fooled us too often, Q.

- Q: You can't do this to me, Jean-Luc.
- Lieutenant Worf: [grabs Q's arm and starts to pull] You will walk or I will carry you.
- Q: Given the option, I - I'll walk. You disappointment me, Jean-Luc. I'm disappointed.
- [Worf and Q enter turbolift]
- Q: Hey, I'm claustrophobic. I don't like it in here.

So many great lines. Especially when he meets Guinan. That was a good scene.
Q was such a ridiculous character, but as a character TNG used him masterfully. I was always up for a Q episode and John de Lancie....*chef's kiss* that guy played that part absolutely perfectly! Q was easily one of my favourites.
Its like the perfect part for a Theater Student hamming it up and chewing the scenery.
And the character himself gave the writers options to write filler episodes.
"What have we got on tap for next week? Nothing?!?! Someone call John de Lancie and get him in here!! Tell him we're gonna need him to do some stupid s###!"
Which upset me even more about Picard Season 2. Oh...the entire Picard series could have been about Q and the Borg and they could have made something really interesting out of it while still serving the fans.
I dont think I've ever seen a show skid off the rails like Picard Season 2. It had an interesting idea...Q is back...Picard is the head of an Evil Terran Empire...all of our favourite Trek heroes are murdered, there is so much material there!
It was like "Uh huh....okay....interesting Characters...okay...intriguing premise...alright...Q is back...thats good...and...What the absolute F### is this s###?"
