Lieutenant Tasha Yar : What have bright, primary colors got to do with it?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Ah, I understand the allusion. Colors representing countries at a time when they competed with each other. Red, white and blue for the United States, whereas the French... more properly used the same colors in the order blue, white and red.
Lt. Commander Data : And the German nation red, black and gold, the Italians green, white and red, the British...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : That's enough, Data!
Lt. Commander Data : It was you who...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : We were discussing the Ferengi.
-
Letek : [of Humans] They shamelessly clothe their females.
Mordoc : Inviting others to unclothe them, the very depth of perversion.
Lieutenant Tasha Yar : Paws off, Ferengi!
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : So, while we still have some power left, it's time for difficult decisions. Opinions, please?
Lieutenant Tasha Yar : I say put all available power into a full-out, combined phaser and photon torpedo salvo. Destroy their ability to sustain this force field, sir.
Lieutenant Worf : Yes! Hit them hard and hit them fast.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Impractical. And provocative. Even assuming that we have the power to sustain such a tactic.
Lieutenant Tasha Yar : But, Captain, isn't firing on us an act of war?
Counselor Deanna Troi : The facts are the Ferengi did fire on us, but we were chasing them. Since then, all they've done is search our computers trying to learn who and what we are.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Your point, Counselor?
Counselor Deanna Troi : Let's talk to them.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : It's been tried. No response.
Counselor Deanna Troi : But did we tell them anything they wanted to hear?
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Ferengi vessel, we await your response.
Lieutenant Tasha Yar : Suggest first strike, sir. Our shields now only have 63 seconds of power left before lowering.
Lieutenant Worf : If the Ferengis' ship sensors can read us, sir, they will be waiting until we are most vulnerable.
Commander William T. Riker : I'm afraid I agree, Captain. They have not responded...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : We will wait a bit more, Number One.
Lieutenant Tasha Yar : 50 seconds.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Patience. Patience.
Daimon Tarr : The quicker we can come to terms, the better, NCC-1701-D.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Who is speaking?
Daimon Tarr : I am Tarr, DaiMon of the Ferengi. You wish to discuss surrender, Captain Picard?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : What I said, DaiMon Tarr, is...
Daimon Tarr : Unconditional surrender, I warn you, is totally unacceptable. We will die to the last one of us before such dishonor.
Lieutenant Tasha Yar : [Picard gives her the "cut it" gesture] Hailing frequencies closed, sir.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Something has seized their ship, too. They're in the same predicament as us. Launch a sensor probe. Set it to search for the source of... whatever this "something" is that is holding both ships.

Commander William T. Riker : [as the Enterprise is fired on] Shall we return their fire, sir?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Negative, Number One. They're just responding to our close pursuit. Fall back a bit, but stay with them.
Lt. Commander Data : They are slowing, too, sir.
Lieutenant Tasha Yar : They may be turning to fight.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Open hailing frequen... why are we gaining on them? Don't anticipate.
Lieutenant Geordi La Forge : I'm not, sir. Something's wrong.
