Quotes
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Commander, how is it that we were not informed of the presence of the second Romulan on Galondon Core?
Commander Tomalak : A simple misunderstanding, Captain Picard. I was obviously misinformed as to the size of the craft. I assure you, I intended no deception.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Of course not.
Commander Tomalak : You doubt my good faith?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Let's just say my faith would be reinforced by a gesture from you - such as powering down your disruptors.
[Tomalak turns and nods to someone offscreen]
Lieutenant Worf : Disruptors powering down.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Thank you. Commander, we will return your officer, and escort your ship to the Neutral Zone.
Commander Tomalak : That is acceptable.
-
Commander Tomalak : Territories! You would measure territories against a man's life?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Commander, I am singularly impressed by your concern for *a* life. Do not risk any more lives by leaving the Neutral Zone!
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : If the point has not yet been made clearly Commander, let me make it again: Romulan warbirds do not enter Federation space unless they are prepared to do battle.
Commander Tomalak : But on a mission of mercy?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : A mission - to recover one of your officers, who has been caught on a Federation planet, for reasons as yet unknown.
Commander Tomalak : I have already explained...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : And I have rejected your explanation!
-
Commander Tomalak : You have one chance to escape destruction, Picard. Return my officer at once!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Commander, you have entered Federation space despite my warning!
Commander Tomalak : You forced this situation! I will not leave without him.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : He's dead.
Commander Tomalak : Then he... is but the first to fall, Picard.
