Geordi was awaiting the rendezvous with the USS Victory. He had made a model ship of the

"Look at all of the detail... and everything here has some significance?"
On the holodeck, in Holmes' office at 221-B Baker St., Geordi marvelling at the decor.
"He purchased this in a pawn shop in Tottenham Court Road for fifty-five shillings, which he considered
a very good investment."
Data on Holmes' famous violin.
"To feel the thrill of a victory...there must be the possibility of failure.
Where's the victory winning a battle you can't possibly lose?"
Dr Pulaski claiming Data can't REALLY play Holmes, since he can't feel, and supposedly
can't use instinct and all the "human" processes like Holmes.
Furthermore, she didn't think he could see the appeal in an ACTUAL mystery,
trying to solve the clues, versus memorizing and acting from rote, solving it
from a script.
"Like the spider, I feel the strings vibrate whenever anyone new chances into my web."
Moriarity.
"I have read her expressions -- what she has not said is as important as her words..."
Moriarity on getting information from Pulaski.
"Does he have life?
He's a machine -- but is that all he is?"
"No. He is more."
"Exactly.
Is the definition of life 'cogito ergo sum'? I think, therefore I am?"
"That's one possible definition."
"It is the most important one and for me..the only one that matters."
Moriarity on whether or not he HIMSELF can be said to be alive.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"The scones are likewise a must."
"Uh, it's really quite excellent."
"Strange. It actually pleases me to hear you say that."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Of course you do, Madam. The more you proclaim your ignorance, the more you attempt to mislead me, the more I am on to you -- your every silence speaks volumes."
"Good, then if you know what I'm saying when I'm not saying anything, what do you need me around for?
Thanks for the tea and crumpets, but I guess I'll be going."
"Where? Back to here?"
" Yes, would you care to join me?"
Moriarity, trying to question Pulaski. She's clever enough to try to trick him into walking
off the holodeck, which would have wiped him out. The "here" was his sketch of the
Enterprise.
Some trivia on the episode:
A) They thought Holmes was public domain, and the gap between this and the other
episode was longer than they wanted- since they had to secure the rights before
airing the sequel.
B) There's something interesting in the episode that aired. This is another episode where
something leaves the holodeck-like a snowball one time. In this case, a paper note.
Farrand wondered about that, and the Nitpicker answer was written up that (as they
explained later) the holodeck has a holoemitter (for holographic "matter") and a
replicator (for regular matter). The note was replicated, as, apparently, were the scones
Pulaski ate. But when this aired, the question came up.
The script (no script is final until airing) adds a short scene at the end-
where Picard and Data mention the note having left the holodeck, and Picard
claimed Moriarity could have, also.
This probably was dropped because it contradicts how the holodeck works.
For Moriarity to leave, he would have had to 1) have a body of permanent matter,
not holographic matter
2) have a computer of some kind attached to the body to score his program.
They currently don't have the tech to "Frankenstein" him a body from replicators.
Then again, I like the solution they used in the sequel. Moriarity got what he wanted,
"My officers, the Bajoran engineers, and all their families depend on the shops and services of this Promenade. But if people like you abandon it, this is going to become a ghost town. We need someone to step forward and say, 'I'm staying. I'm rebuilding.' We need a community leader. And it's going to be... you."
"Me?!"
"You seem to have all the character references of a politician."
"Sounds like they're not ready."
"Your job, short of violating the Prime Directive, is to make sure that they are."
"If you don't take your hand off my hip, you'll never be able to raise a glass with it again."
"Oh, I love a woman in uniform!"
"This is where the adventure is. This is where heroes are made. Right here... in the wilderness."
"This wilderness happens to be my home!"
"I didn't mean..."
"The Cardassians left behind a lot of injured people, Doctor. You can make yourself useful by bringing some of your Federation medicine to the 'natives'. (sarcastically) You'll find them a friendly, simple folk."
"Have you ever served with any Bajoran women?"
"No. Why?"
"Just wondering."
"Doctor, most people in my experience wouldn't know reason if it walked up and shook their hand."
"That may be the most important thing to understand about humans. It is the unknown that defines our existence."
"Fire six photon torpedoes across their bow."
"All we HAVE is six photon torpedoes!"
"We won't win this battle with torpedoes."
"I suppose you want the office."
"Well, I was hoping to say hello first, and *then* take the office, but we can do it in any order you like."
I thought "The Emissary" was a great first episode in that it clearly would take a while before the crew could get to know each other and work together.

You have the right series, and one of the characters.
If you review the first three quotes, you may get the episode.....

It's one of the Moriarty in the Holodeck episodes. The first, I believe.
I think it was called "Elementary, My Dear Data."

Ok, let the others had a chance to answer it.
This is the series premiere for Star Trek: Deep Space 9, "Emissary."
The episode where Picard atrociously mispronounced "Bajor".

Correct, of course.
I thought "The Emissary" was a great first episode in that it clearly would take a while before the crew could get to know each other and work together.
