Worf: [to Alexander] "Klingon schools are designed to be difficult. The physical and mental hardships faced by the students are meant to built character and strength... However... If you wish to face a greater challenge, you may stay here with me. It will not be easy, for either of us, but perhaps we can face the challenge together."
   
Worf: "I find that I would gladly fight ten armed Balduk warriors... rather than face one small child."
   
Helena: "He needs his father, Worf. Alexander's having... difficulties."
Worf: "Difficulties?"
Helena: "He is... disobedient."
Worf: "Klingon children are often... difficult to control..."
Helena: "I do know something about how Klingon children behave. But it's more than his willful attitude. He... does not always tell the truth."
Worf: "My son is... a liar?"
Helena: "He is a boy. And boys can sometimes take the wrong path. They must have guidance. Alexander needs a father -- his father to give him that guidance."
   
Geordi: "We're going to witness a moment in history, Data."
Data: "Every nanosecond in this continuum becomes a moment in history once it has elapsed."
   
Geordi: "Think about it... no more bulky warp engines or nacelles... a ship just generates a Soliton Wave... and then rides it through space like a surfboard. This is going to be like being
there to watch Chuck Yeager break the sound barrier, or Zephram Cochrane engage the first warp drive!"
Data: "It should be interesting."
Worf: (flat) "Very exciting."
Geordi: "I'm talking to the wrong crowd."
