    BORG QUEEN: Do you know what this is, Data?
    DATA: It would appear you are attempting to graft organic skin onto my endoskeletal structure.
    BORG QUEEN: What a cold description for such a beautiful gift.
    (the Borg Queen strokes the section of skin)
    DATA: Heh, heh, heh.
    BORG QUEEN: Was that good for you?
