(DATA and GUINAN are viewing the cloud formations of a nebula) 
GUINAN: Now it’s a Samarian coral fish with its fin unfolded. 
DATA: I believe what you are seeing is the effect of the fluid dynamic processes inherent in the large-scale motion of rarified gas.
GUINAN: No. no. First it was a fish, and now it’s a Mintonian sailing ship. 
DATA: Where? 
GUINAN: Right there. Don’t you see the two swirls coming together to form the mast? 
DATA: I do not see it… It is interesting that people try to find meaningful patterns in things that are essentially random. I have noticed that the images they perceive sometimes suggest what they are thinking about at that particular moment. 
(DATA looks out at the nebula again)
DATA: Besides, it is clearly a bunny rabbit.
