Troi: "A very sensible people. For example, Mintakan women precede their mates. It's a signal to other women." Riker: "'This man is taken, get your own'?" Troi: "Not precisely. More like, 'If you want his services, I'm the one you have to negotiate with.'" Riker: "What kind of services?" Troi: "All kinds." Riker: "They are a sensible race."
	Liko: "I believe I have seen The Overseer. He is called 'The Picard'."
	Riker: [to Picard] "The Mintakans are beginning to believe in a god, and the one they've chosen is you."
	Troi: "That's the problem with believing in a supernatural being. Trying to determine what he wants."
	Picard: "If you believe I am all-powerful, then you cannot hurt me. If, however, I am telling the truth ... and I ... am mortal ... you will kill me. But if the only proof you will believe is my death, then shoot."
	Barron: "Without guidance, that religion could degenerate into inquisitions, holy wars, chaos."
	Troi: "Liko, you don't want to kill me."
	Picard: "I neither desire your obedience, nor your worship."
