Quotes
| Data: |
"I am afraid the prisoner has eluded us." |
| Picard: |
"Eluded the Enterprise?" |
| Troi: |
"Why do you have all this anger toward me?" |
| Danar: |
"A girl with long, dark hair broke my heart a long time ago. Out of bitterness and resentment, I turned to crime." [Laughs] "How about this one? My mother abandoned me when I was a little boy. I never got the guidance that a wild, young man needed." |
| Picard: |
"'Matter of internal security', the age old cry of the oppressor." |
| Worf: |
"Danar. You are cunning. You must have Klingon blood." |
| Riker: |
"Mr. Worf, I hold you personal responsible for the safety of the Captain.." |
| Worf: |
"I understand, sir.." |
| Nayrok: |
"You were programmed to survive. You can survive at the Luna V settlement." |
| Danar: |
"To survive is not enough! To simply exist is not enough." |
| Picard: |
"I have all the information I need for my report. Your prisoner has been returned to you, and you have a decision to make...whether to try and force them back or welcome them home. In your words, this is not our affair. We cannot interfere in the natural course of your society's development. And I'd say it's going to develop significantly in the next few minutes." |
