Geordi: "Welcome to Galorndon Core, where no good deed goes unpunished."
   
Crusher: "Lieutenant, I understand your feelings about the Romulans. But this is not the time or the place."
Worf: "If you had seen them kill your parents, you would understand, Doctor, it is always the time and place for those feelings."
   
Bochra: [on the VISOR] "Without it - you are blind?"
Geordi: "Yeah."
Bochra: "How did this happen?"
Geordi: "I was born that way."
Bochra: "And your parents let you live?"
   
Bochra: "If the situation were reversed, would you not die to avoid capture?"
Geordi: "I don't know, I might. If I thought it was necessary, if the stakes were high enough,, but they'd have to be pretty damn high. I guess I'd make a pretty lousy Romulan."
Bochra: "I no more wish to die than you do."
Geordi: "Bochra, there are times when it's necessary to die for one's ideals. Do you believe this is one of those times?"
   
Riker: "For what it's worth, I understand your bitterness."
Worf: "With respect, sir, you cannot."
   
Worf: "I am asked to give up the very lifeblood of my mother and my father to those who murdered them.
Riker: "So you blame all Romulans for that?"
Worf: "Yes."
Riker: "Forever? What if someday the Federation made peace with the Romulans?"
Worf: "Impossible."
Riker: "That's what your people said a few years ago, about humans... Think how many died on both sides in that war. Would you and I be here now like this? If we hadn't been able to let go of the anger and the blame. Where does it end, Worf? If that Romulan dies, does his family carry the bitterness on another generation?"
Worf: "Then you believe I should."
Riker: "What I believe, doesn't matter."
   
Picard: "Commander, both our ships are ready to fight. We have two extremely powerful and destructive arsenals at our command. Our next actions will have serious repercussions."
   
Tomalak: "I assure you, I intended no deception."
Picard: "Of course not."
Tomalak: "You doubt my good faith?"
Picard: "Let's just say my faith would be strengthened by a gesture from you. Such as powering down your disruptors."
   
Riker: "Close call."
Picard: "Too close, Number One. Brinkmanship is a dangerous game."
