Oh, I knew the name, thanks; it is Episode 2. And it sounds to me like Data is saying do I not...bleek. Which is, I think, a play on words from something Willie wrote?

It's definitely a play on the Bard's words, but the "leak" part is in reference to Data's androidness, since he doesn't actually "bleed". I remember seeing that episode and laughing at that line.
Bran: You're too funny: "blink".... I got it! ;0)

Just replayed the moment four times; I stand by my statement. It looks and sounds like he's saying bleek; plus, the preceding sentence is, "My chemical nutrients are like your blood."

It has been noted by others that in the performance, it sounds as though there is a slight "b" sound before leak, but in the script, it's leak: Naked Now script If you do an Edit/Find for leak, you can jump to it. :0)

I could see Spiner stumbling on the shift from the straight Shakespeare quote and correcting himself, but the use of "leak" would be perfectly in character for Data.
