Worf: "I'm fine."
Pulaski: "You are not fine, you fainted."
Worf: "I did not faint. Klingons do not faint."
   
Worf: "How would Commander Riker feel if he had the measles?"
Pulaski: "Pretty silly."
   
Picard: "This is my security chief, Lieutenant Worf."
Danilo O'Dell: "I don't suppose security is much of a problem for you."
   
Danilo O'Dell: "What the hell was that thing?"
Worf: "Automated fire system. A force field contains the flame until the remaining oxygen has been consumed."
Danilo O'Dell: "Ah. What if I'd been under that thing?"
Worf: "You would have been standing in the fire."
Danilo O'Dell: "Yeah, well, leaving that aside for the moment, I mean what would have happened to me?"
Worf: "You would have suffocated and died."
Danilo O'Dell: "Yeah, ah .. sweet mercy."
   
Brenna O'Dell: "And what are you staring at? Have you never seen a woman before?"
Riker: "I thought I had."
   
Riker: "That isn't necessary. The ship will clean itself."
Brenna O'Dell: "Well, good for the bloody ship."
   
Brenna O'Dell: "William, is something wrong?"
Riker: "What do you mean?"
Brenna O'Dell: "Do you not like girls?"
Riker: "Of course I do. Is there a special technique to this foot-washing?"
Brenna O'Dell: "You generally start at the top, and work your way down."
Riker: "I think I can handle that."
Brenna O'Dell: "Mmm. I was hoping you might."
   
[to Worf]
Danilo O'Dell
: "You see lad, every moment of pleasure in life has to be purchased by an equal moment of pain."
   
Worf: "Madam, have you ever considered a career in security?"
Brenna O'Dell: "If it's anything like baby-sitting, I'm an authority."
   
Riker: "It's not a question of harm. One William Riker is ... unique, perhaps even special. But a hundred a him ... a thousand of him ... diminishes me in ways I can't even imagine."
   
Pulaski: "It's a match made in heaven."
Riker: "Unfortunately, it will have to be a shotgun wedding."
   
Granger: "For three hundred years we have denied the carnal side of our nature. How can we learn to put that aside?"
Danilo O'Dell: "Eh, well, you ... you put a young couple together ... and ... you let nature take its course."
   
Picard: "I must be out of my mind."
Pulaski: "Starfleet would probably agree with you."
   
Pulaski: "Worf! You're a romantic!"
Worf: "It is among the Klingons that love poetry achieves its fullest flower."
   
Picard: "Sometimes, Number One, you just have to...bow to the absurd."
   
Riker: "We certainly have a right to exercise control over our own bodies."
Pulaski: "You'll get no argument from me."
