Star Trek: The Next Generation S4E11 “Data’s Day”

Actual dialog:

DATA: I would like to examine the remains of Ambassador T’Pel left on the transporter pad.
BEVERLY: I’m working on the report right now.
DATA: Have you compared the genetic code with the Ambassador’s last-recorded transporter ID traces?
BEVERLY: No. That’s not procedure. Why?
DATA: I could be chasing an untamed ornithoid without cause.
BEVERLY: [confused look] [pause] [realization] A wild-goose chase?
