    Let's face it. Data is the master of the p0wn.

    From "Measure of a Man"

    I've always been partial to this line from the third season's 'The Ensigns of Command"

    Data: "I could reduce this pumping station to a pile of debris...but I trust my point is clear. I am one android with a single weapon. There are hundreds of Sheliak on the way... and their weapons are far more powerful. And the Sheliak may not even offer you a target. They can obliterate this colony from orbit. You will die never having seen the faces of your killers."

    Warmest Wishes,
    Whoa Nellie

    Data: "Does the Admiral have children, Sir?"
    Picard: "I believe he does. Why?"
    Data: "I am forced to wonder how much experience he had as a parent when his first child was born."

    One of the few moments in "Code of Honor" that doesn't retard your mental development:

    Data: For example, what Lutan has done is similar to what certain American Indians once did, called "counting coup." That is from an obscure language called French—
    Picard: A language which for centuries on Earth represented civilization, Mister Data.
    Data: Indeed?
    Riker: I suggest you drop it, Mister Data.

    Most of the stuff he said to Hobson in "Redemption", heck every last word he said to Hobson.

    Offspring. (Where Data builds a daughter and a SF Admiral comes to take her away.)

    The Offspring. :)

    From Deja Q:

    Q: "Who does he think he is, giving me orders like that!"
    Data: "Geordi thinks he is in command here. And he is correct."

    Yes! That one is my favorite too. With these put down threads I'm surprised no one has made a Q put downs thread yet, btw. He would definitely win.

    Data always made me laugh. The funniest thing was the way Brent made those quizzical faces like a dog makes when you say something they don't understand. Like "Wha?"

    Forces of Nature (The ONLY good part in the whole thing.) When Geordi recommends phasering Spot as a training method for keeping her off the console.

    Data: Geordi.....I cannot shoot my cat...

    From Time's Arrow I think...

    Riker: It's just that our mental pathways have become accustomed to your sensory input patterns.

    Data: I understand. I am also fond of you, Commander. And you as well, Counselor.

    Neither of these probably count, but for moments where Data dishes out a big bowl of pwn, I'd say:
    1: grabbing a Borg by the throat and saying through clenched teeth "Stop... stop it... STOP.. STOP IT!" has got to be on the list?

    2: Insurrection, Riker's just shaved off his beard. "Smooth as an android's bottom, eh Data?"
    Data strokes it, thinks about it, shakes his head and walks off :p

    Yeah, and his Poker face is a comedy classic.
