[Data's quarters]
DATA [OC]: Come in.
(Troi and Geordi enter)
LAFORGE: Data?
DATA [OC]: Geordi? Is Counsellor Troi with you?
TROI: Yes, I'm here, Data. Geordi said you wanted to see us.
DATA [OC]: Indeed. Or, stated more correctly, I wanted you to see me.
LAFORGE: Can we come in?
DATA [OC]: Please.
(They go through to the inner room, and we see Data's reflection in a full length mirror. He is sporting a full set, a beard like Riker's)
LAFORGE: Did you damage your face, Data?
DATA: It is a beard, Geordi. A fine, full, dignified beard. One which commands respect and projects thoughtfulness and dignity. Well? Opinions?
TROI: It's er, very different.
DATA: When I stroke the beard thusly, do I not appear more intellectual?
TROI: I'm sorry, I have to go now. Goodbye.
(Troi leaves, quickly, laughing)
DATA: Why was she laughing?
