Lieutenant Worf : I am asked to give up the very lifeblood of my mother and my father to those who murdered them!
Commander William T. Riker : So you blame all Romulans for that?
Lieutenant Worf : Yes!
Commander William T. Riker : Forever? What if someday, the Federation made peace with the Romulans?
Lieutenant Worf : Impossible.
Commander William T. 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?

[O'Brien is trying to get a lock on La Forge, who has gone missing on a stormy planet]
Chief Miles O'Brien : The electrical storm's creating thousands of ghosts.
Commander William T. Riker : Well, beam some of those ghosts back; one of them may be Geordi!

[the crew are debating the recent intrusion of a Romulan ship in Federation space]
Commander William T. Riker : It obviously wasn't pilot's error. I think it demands a response from us.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : But we must measure our response carefully, or history may remember Galorndon Core along with... Pearl Harbor, and Station Salem One, as the stage for a bloody preamble to war.

Commander William T. Riker : Close call.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Too close, Number One. Brinkmanship is a dangerous game.

[first lines]
Commander Riker : Placing beam-out marker. Return transport: 14 minutes 40 seconds. Is your view any better, Geordi?
Lieutenant Commander La Forge : Not too bad, Commander. A lot of charged-particle precipitation, but I can compensate.
Lieutenant Worf : Communicators are dysfunctional.
Commander Riker : Tricorders?
Lieutenant Worf : Readings only within five metres.
Commander Riker : Good thing we didn't bring Data. We'd be unscrambling his circuits for a week.
