 Data: "I
believe the wiser course of action here is to bend."
Geordi: "You
mean 'fold', Data."
Data: "That is correct. Fold; to bend, to
make compact, or to capitulate."
Worf: "I raise fifty."
Data: "I do not believe Lieutenant
Worf understands all the nuances of this betting procedure."
Riker: "I wouldn't be so quick to judge, Data. His pile's a lot
bigger than yours."
Dr. Pulaski: "Than any of ours."
Data: "The cards have been favouring the Lieutenant, but, that is
the result of random chance, therefore, a temporary situation."
Geordi: "You
hope."
Worf: "Talk or play. Not both!" | | |
|
 Geordi: "Talk,
talk, talk..."
Dr. Pulaski: "Okay. Here's the action. Fifty and another fifty."
Geordi: "Ouch! Fold, fold, fold!"

 Riker:
"Love to play, but, not with these cards." |

 Data: "Emergency
signal reads as follows: 'Enterprise to divert to coordinates 423x112x51,
immediately. Further orders forthcoming.'"
Riker: "That's
it? What's the emergency?"
Data: "Message did not
elaborate, sir." |
| |

 Riker: "What
ship is transporting the envoy?"
Data: "Apparently, there
were no starships available on Starbase 153. The envoy is aboard a class-8
probe."
Riker: "Class-8 probe is just over two meters long."
Picard: "Yes, that's true, Number One, but, if the transmitters and
the sensors were removed and life support system installed, there would be
just enough room for one person."
Riker: "And it is designed to travel at warp 9."
Data: "By sending the probe to meet us rather than diverting the
Enterprise, they are saving us 6.1 hours." | | |

 K'ehleyr: "If
you ask me, talking will be a waste of time. Klingons of that era were
raised to despise humans. We'll try diplomacy, but, I promise you it won't
work and then you'll have to destroy them."
Picard: "No."
K'ehleyr: "No? Captain, these Klingons are killers. You'll have
no choice."
Picard: "We shall find another choice." |

|
 Worf: "You
are late."
K'ehleyr: "Sorry, had to make myself beautiful."
Worf: "I fail to understand why." |
|

 K'ehleyr: "Some
callisthenics programs are better than others."
Worf: "You still can make jokes."
K'ehleyr: "You don't like people with a sense of humour?"
Worf: "I did not say that."
K'ehleyr: "Worf, you're the perfect Klingon; the ultimate minimalist.
Talk to me."
Worf: "I've noted that some people use humour as a shield; they talk
much, yet say little."
K'ehleyr: "Whereas others take a simpler approach; say nothing."
Worf: "When one does not have the words..."
K'ehleyr: "Or is loathe to speak them." |
| |
|
 K'ehleyr: "Why
didn't we do this six years ago?"
Worf: "We were not ready."
K'ehleyr: "I was..."
Worf: "No. We were both too young, too unaware. We lacked
commitment." | | |
|
 Worf: "te'honG'he!
Jih!"
K'ehleyr: "Wait, you can't mean..."
Worf: "We are mated."
K'ehleyr: "Yes! I know! I was there! But..."
Worf: "And now we must solemnize our union with the oath."
K'ehleyr: "I am not going to become your wife!"
Worf: "You already are."
K'ehleyr: "Don't give me that Klingon nonsense!"
Worf: "You would dishonour our sacred traditions?!"
K'ehleyr: "They're not sacred! They're absurd! Marrying you is out of
the question for a million reasons!"
Worf: "None of which stopped you earlier!"
K'ehleyr: "Worf, it was what it was; glorious and wonderful and all
that, but, it doesn't mean anything!"
Worf: "That is a human attitude!"
K'ehleyr: "I AM HUMAN!"
Worf: "You are also Klingon!"
K'ehleyr: "So, that means we should bond for life?!"
Worf: "It is our way."
K'ehleyr: "Yours...not mine." | | |

 Data: "Sensors
show life forms aboard, but, I am unable to ascertain whether they are awake
or dormant. However, their propulsion is inactive so I would hypothesize
that the crew is asleep." (Klingons fire, Enterprise is hit) "However, I
could be in error..." |

 Picard:
"Captain's log, stardate: 42901.3. Despite their cloaking shields, we have
located the Klingon vessel, Tong. In an effort to avoid further
confrontation, we are about to implement the option presented by
Lieutenant Worf." |

 Worf:
"Open hailing frequencies."
Tactical Officer: "Open, sir."
K'Temoc: "What? What is this?"
Worf: "Captain K'Temoc, have you lost your mind? Halt your vessel and
drop your shields!"
K'Temoc: "What treachery is this? By who's authority?"
Worf: "I am Worf, commanding the Enterprise, and it is you who
have committed an act of treason by firing on this vessel!"
K'Temoc: "I have standing orders to fire on all Federation ships!"
Worf: "You fool! Did it not occur to you that the war would be over
by now?"
K'Temoc: "I have no proof of that!"
Worf: "Trust your eyes, or is your brain still stuck in its long
slumber?"
K'Temoc: "How do I know this is not a Federation trick; how can I be
sure?"
Worf: "Captain, as you are new to this century, I have tried to be
patient, but, I will tolerate no further insubordination. Drop your shields,
immediately!"
K'Temoc: "And if I refuse?"
Worf: "Then die in ignorance. I can waste no more time on you.
Phasers to full power."
Tactical Officer: "Aye, sir. Phasers ready, target locked."
K'Temoc: "You dare not destroy us! We are on a crucial mission for
the Klingon High Command!"
Worf: "Has the Tong dropped it's shields?"
Tactical Officer: "No, sir."
Worf: "Very well. Fire all phasers."
K'Temoc: "Wait! Lower the shields. I yield command of the Tong to
you, Captain Worf. Long live the Klingon Empire!"
Worf: "A wise decision, Captain. Commander K'ehleyr will board your
vessel and take command. The Klingon cruiser Prang will soon arrive and
escort you home. And Captain?"
K'Temoc: "Yes?"
Worf: "Welcome to the 24th century." | | |
|
 Worf:
"I return command of the ship to you, Captain."
Picard: "Thank
you, Lieutenant. Congratulations, very fine first command. Well done."
Riker: "How did you like command?"
Worf: "Comfortable
chair." | | |
|
 K'ehleyr:
"I hid the truth from you. Last night did have meaning. I was tempted to
take the oath with you. It scared me. I've never had such strong feelings
toward anyone."
Worf: "Nor have I." | |
