Quotes 

• Picard : Mr. Worf, I always knew this day would come. Are you prepared to face the charges?

  Troi : Answer him.

  Worf : I am prepared.

  Riker : [unfurling an old-school scroll]  "We, the officers and crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, being of sound mind and judgment, hereby make the following charges against Lieutenant Worf. One, that he did knowingly and willfully perform above and beyond the call of duty on countless occasions. Two, most seriously, that he has earned the admiration and respect of the entire crew."

  Picard : Mr. Worf, I hereby promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, with all of the rights and privileges thereto. And may God have mercy on your soul.

• [Data has found his cat Spot safe and alive in the Enterprise wreckage] 

  Data : [happily]  Spot!

  [Data cradles Spot, and begins crying] 

  Troi : Data? Are you all right?

  Data : [tears streaming]  I am happy to see Spot, yet I am crying! Perhaps the chip is malfunctioning.

  Troi : [smiling]  I think it's working perfectly.

• Picard : You never met my brother and his wife, did you?

  Troi : No.

  Picard : Robert. So opinionated. So pompous and arrogant. He always had to have the last word. But he-he mellowed a little bit in the last few years. I was going to get together with them all next month on Earth. I thought we'd go to San Francisco. Rene's always wanted to see Starfleet Academy.

  Troi : Rene?

  [realizing] 

  Troi : Oh! Your nephew.

  Picard : Yes. He's, uh... he's so unlike his father. He's a dreamer, imaginative.

  [breaking down into tears] 

  Picard : He's so very gentle.

  Troi : What's happened?

  Picard : Robert and Rene, they're... burned to death in a fire.

  Troi : I'm sorry.

  Picard : It's all right. It's all right. These things happen.

  Troi : Captain, it's not all right.

  Picard : I can't help thinking about... about all the experiences that Rene's not gonna have, about going to the Academy, reading books and listening to music and falling in love, building a life.

  [closing the photo album] 

  Picard : Well, that's not going to happen now.

  Troi : I didn't realize he meant so much to you.

  Picard : I'd come to feel that Rene was as close as I would get to having a child of my own.

  Troi : Your family history is very important to you, isn't it?

  Picard : What? Oh. From being a small child, I can remember being told about the family line. The Picard who fought at Trafalgar. The Picard who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. The Picards who settled the first Martian colonies. And when Robert married and he had a son, I...

  Troi : You felt it was no longer your responsibility to carry on the family line.

• Riker : Maybe they're not out there.

  Picard : They're just trying to decide if a 20-year-old Klingon Bird-of-Prey can be a match for the Federation flagship.

  Troi : Perhaps they're on the surface.

  Worf : Sir, according to my calculations, a solar probe launched from either the Klingon ship or the planet surface will take 11 seconds to reach the sun. However, since we do not have an exact point of origin, it will take us between eight and fifteen seconds to lock our weapons onto it.

  Riker : That's a pretty big margin of error.

  Picard : Much too big. Mr. Data, how long before the ribbon arrives?

  Data : Approximately 47 minutes, sir.

  Picard : [sitting with Riker in their command chairs]  We have got to find some way to get to Soran.

• Riker : A quantum implosion has occurred within the Amargosa star. All nuclear fusion is breaking down.

  Picard : How is that possible?

  Worf : Sensor records show the observatory launched a solar probe into the sun a few moments ago.

  Riker : The star is going to collapse in a matter of minutes.

  Worf : Sir, the implosion has produced a level-12 shockwave.

  Troi : That'll destroy everything in this system.

  Transporter Chief : Transporter room to bridge. I can't locate Commander La Forge or Mr. Data, sir.

  Riker : Have they come back to the ship?

  Worf : No, sir. They are not on board.

  Picard : How long before the shockwave hits the observatory?

  Worf : Four minutes, 40 seconds.

  Picard : Number One.

  Riker : [heading to the turbolift]  Mr. Worf.

  Worf : [following]  Aye, sir.

• Data : It has been extremely difficult, Counselor.

  Troi : Well, then why did you decide not to remove the emotion chip?

  Data : At first, I was unprepared for the unpredictable nature of emotions. However, having experienced 261 distinct emotional states, I believe I have learned to control my feelings. They will no longer control me.

  Troi : Well, I hope you're successful, Data.
