“So.”  
And when he walks the dog and is impatient for it to poop already, he can say “Make it, So!”

I was thinking, “Number two, Number One. Make it so!”

So, I’m watching the episode _Pen Pals_. Picard and Deanna are having a conversation on the way to the holodeck. Picard states that he is not overly fond of small animals, preferring the company of horses instead. He states that a good horse is a companion rather than just a pet.

That only works if the dog is a little bitch.  
I like the mentioned idea of Q, but I’d be worried using the name would summon the bastard.
