 Wesley:
"Mordoc, what are you doing here? You couldn't have
graduated the Academy already."
Mendon: "I am not Mordoc. I am Mendon. Ensign
Mendon of the planet Benzar."
Wesley: "Sorry. It's a friend of mine. You look
just like him."
Mendon: "We are from the same geostructure.
Naturally we look alike."
Wesley: "How do you tell each other apart?"
Mendon: "We just do." |

 Picard:
"It's been suggested an officer from the Enterprise
might participate in the program."
Riker: "That's probably a good idea."
Picard: "Well there's a Klingon vessel in the
area."
Riker: "I don't recall hearing of a Federation
officer ever serving on a Klingon vessel."
Picard: "Oh no, neither have I."
 Riker:
"It might prove to be beneficial."
Picard: "Well having Worf on board certainly has
been."
Riker: "Yes sir. Who did you intend to send,
sir?"
Picard: "I thought of asking for a volunteer."
(As Picard fires his phaser)
Riker: "I might be interested, sir."
Picard: "Damn. Sorry, Number One what was that?"
 Riker:
"I said I wouldn't mind the assignment, sir."
Picard: "Any particular reason?"
Riker: "Because nobody has ever done it before."
Picard: "Well I'll inform starbase of your
acceptance... They'll contact the Klingon vessel and
make the arrangements." |

 Picard:
"Captain's Log, Stardate 42506.5. We have departed from
Starbase 179 and are headed for a rendezvous with the
Klingon vessel Pagh. I have informed the staff of
Commander Riker's temporary assignment." |

 Worf:
"I have studied and know everything about my heritage."
Riker: "Then you are just the person I need to
talk to to clear something up. It's my understanding
that one of the duties of the first officer of a Klingon
vessel is to assassinate his captain."
Worf: "Yes sir."
Riker: "Wouldn't that bring about chaos?"
Worf: "Of course not. When and if the captain
becomes weak or unable to perform, it is expected that
his honorable retirement should be assisted by his
first. Your second officer would assassinate you for the
same reasons."
Riker: "The method of attrition must take a
little getting used to."
Worf: "The Klingon system has operated
successfully for centuries." |

 Pulaski:
"What is that?"
Riker: "It's a Klingon delicacy. Pipius Claw.
This is heart of targ. This of course is gagh."
Pulaski: "Gagh?"
Riker: "Serpent worms... would you like some?"
Pulaski: "No thanks. I've never heard of a
Klingon starving to death on his own vessel, but you
might."
 Riker:
"Not if I weaken first."
Pulaski: "I know all about that. Their beliefs
are rather brutal but usually what kills us, kills
them."
Riker: "Well that's certainly good to know. Would
you like something to drink?"
Pulaski: "I'm abstaining in honor of your last
hour on board."
Riker: "Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed."
Picard: "Well! I'm familiar with the practice of
the feast before the transfer, I've done it dozens of
times. However, I usually made more palatable choices."
Riker: "Well these are the most palatable
choices." |

 O'Brien:
"Good luck, Commander."
Riker: "Thanks, O'Brien!"
O'Brien: "I wouldn't want to go."
Riker: "Why?"
O'Brien: "You're not afraid, are you?"
Riker: "No I'm not"
O'Brien: "I would be." |

 Kargan:
"This ship is equipped with our best weapons and our
finest warriors. Although we are on a peaceful mission
we are ready to go into battle instantly. I know I can
count on every Klingon warrior in this crew to serve and
die in that battle. So I ask you again Commander Riker,
where are your loyalties?"
Riker: "I have been assigned here to serve this
ship and to obey your orders. And I will do exactly
that."
 Kargan:
"Will you take an oath to that effect?"
Riker: "I just did."
Klag: "yI-Har-Qo! nep-we' ghaH! (Do not believe
him! He lies!)"
Kargan: (to Klag) "Hol-chaj yI-jatlh. (Speak in
their language.)"
Kargan: (to Riker) "This is your second officer,
Lieutenant Klag."
Riker: "Was there something you wanted to say to
me, Lieutenant?"
Klag: "Yes sir. I do not believe you."
Riker: "Then I take it you challenge my authority
over you."
Klag: "Correct."
Riker: (to Kargan) "And your position on this,
Captain?"
Kargan: "I would say it is your first command
decision." |
|
|
|
|
 Worf:
"I will instruct you in Enterprise etiquette." |
|
|
|
|
 Riker:
"First Officer's Personal Log. I have been aboard the
Pagh a short time but long enough to be impressed with
the abilities and single-mindedness of the Klingons." |
|

 Tactical
Officer: "Commander, you're not eating very much."
Riker: "I'm not that hungry."
Klag: "Is the food all right, Commander?"
Riker: "It's delicious. The pipius claw was
excellent, I also enjoyed this Bregit lung."
Vekma: "And the Rokeg blood pie?"
Riker: "Delicious."
 Klag:
"Good. Then you'll also like this."
Riker: "Isn't that gagh?"
Klag: "Very good. You did some research on our
nutritional choice.
Riker: "Yes... but it's still moving."
Klag: "Gagh is always best when served live.
Would you like something "easier"?"
Riker: "Easier?"
Klag: "Yes. If Klingon food is too strong for
you, perhaps we could get one of the females to breast
feed you."
(Laughter) |

 Vekma:
"He's not very attractive, but I will have him."
Tactical Officer: "They are inquisitive. They
would like to know how you would endure."
Riker: "Endure what?"
Klag: "Them."
Riker: "One or both?"
(Raucous laughter) |

 Kargan:
"Tell me of the surest method of attack against the
Enterprise."
Riker: "I won't."
Kargan: "You must It is a matter of honor and
loyalty to your oath."
Riker: "I will not surrender the secrets of the
Enterprise to you."
Kargan: "If your word is no good, then how can we
ever trust Starfleet?"
 Riker:
"I will break any vow that I have taken in the past. I
have also taken an oath of loyalty to your ship - I will
not break that."
Kargan: "They are in conflict!"
Riker: "No sir, they are not! I will obey your
orders. I will serve this ship as first officer, and in
an attack against the Enterprise I will die with this
crew. But I will not break my oath of loyalty to
Starfleet."
Kargan: "If you had told those secrets about the
Enterprise I would have labelled you a traitor and
killed you where you stood. But instead you will die
with us. You will die like a Klingon." |

 Picard:
"Captain's Log, Stardate 42507.8. Although our search
has been extensive, we are still unable to locate the
Klingon ship or any evidence of its destruction." |
|
|
|
|
 Riker:
"Hold where you are Klag. I have relieved Captain Kargan.
He was acting in an irrational manner. I am your captain
now." |
|
|
|
|
 Kargan:
"Riker has no honor... He tricked me!!" |
|
|
|
|
 Riker:
"Enterprise, this is Captain William Riker of the
Klingon vessel Pagh. I order you to lower your shields
and surrender." |
|
|
|
|
 Kargan:
"You should have killed me."
Riker: "I don't want your command."
Kargan: "But you tricked me to get it."
Riker: "Either way, you can have it back."
Kargan: "Then return to your station. (fight) Get
him off my ship!"
Klag: "Yes, Captain. (To Riker:) You understand
the Klingons better than I thought, Commander."
Riker: "Thank you, my friend." |

 Riker:
"Yesterday I did not know how to eat gagh." |
