Quotes

Beverly: "Klingons are so unusual in their reactions, aren't they?"

[Catches Riker]
Celle Delegate: "Sorry, wrong species."

[Warp engines are down]
Picard: "*State-Of-The-Art* vessel....."

Data: "Indubitably, sir. Indubitably."

Yar: "They lied to us.."
Data: "To be more precise, they left out certain parts of the truth, which itself tells us something.."
Yar: "We can learn something from suppression ??"
Data: "Indubitably, my good woman.."
Yar: [What, looks at Riker]
Riker: [Smiles] "Something the captain mentioned, Sherlock Holmes.. Indubi- tably..."

Data: "It's elementary my dear Riker............... Sir."

Beverly: "Captain Picard, you are now relieved of duty. I judge you to be disabled, mentally incapacitated--"

Picard: "What the devil am I doing here?"
Riker: "Sounds like our captain."

Yar: "Security Team Two reports they've discovered a puddle of blood outside the Celle quarters, and they can't find one of the delegates."
Riker: "Lieutenant, this couldn't have waited a moment?"
Yar: [To Picard] "It's good to see you, sir." [To Riker] "The problem is that one of the cooks has just been asked to broil reptile for the Anticans, and it looks like the Celle delegate."
