Worf: [to Jarok] "You are lucky this is not a Klingon ship. We know how to deal with spies."
   
Riker: "You find something amusing?"
Jarok: "Lieutenant Worf. I like him. To be more accurate I understand him, Warrior ... proud, fearless, living only for combat. Exactly the type that will get us all killed if we're not careful."
   
Jarok: "Oh, what a fool I've been to come looking for courage in a lair of cowards."
   
Jarok: "One world's butcher is another world's hero. Perhaps I am neither one."
   
Picard: "You've made your choices, sir! You're a traitor! Now, if the bitter taste of that is unpalatable to you, I am truly sorry. But I will not risk my crew because you think you can dance on the edge of the Neutral Zone."
   
Jarok: "I ... will never see my child smile again. She will grow up believing that her father is a traitor, but she will grow up. If you act, Picard, if we stop this war before it begins."
   
Tomalak: "You see, Picard, after we dissect your Enterprise for every precious bit of information, I intend to display its broken hull in the center of the Romulan capitol as a symbol of our victory. It will inspire our armies for generations to come. And serve as a warning to any other traitor who would create ripples of disloyalty."
   
Tomalak: "I urge you, Captain Picard, surrender. Consider the men and women you would lead into a lost cause."
Picard: "If the cause is just and honorable, they are prepared to give their lives. Are you prepared to die today, Tomalak?"
Tomalak: "I expected more than an idle threat."
Picard: "Then you shall have it. Mr. Worf."
   
Tomalak: "You will still not survive our assault."
Picard: "And you will not survive ours. Shall we die together?"
