Picard - "Eighteen of our people have died. Please, tell us this is one of your illusions."
Q - "Oh, no. This is as real as your so-called life gets."
Picard - "I understand what you've done here, Q, but I think the lesson could have been learned without the loss of eighteen members of my crew."
Q - "If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid."
