Quotes6

  • [O'Brien has beamed Riker back from the research station]
  • Chief Miles O'Brien: Transporter room to bridge. He's aboard.
  • Commander William T. Riker: Why do you sound so surprised, Mr. O'Brien?
  • Chief Miles O'Brien: Well, for a moment, we weren't sure you left the space station in time.
  • Commander William T. Riker: In time for what?
  • Chief Miles O'Brien: It just exploded, sir.
  • [Troi explains to Riker that Manua Apgar hasn't been lying during her account of events]
  • Commander William T. Riker: We can't both be telling the truth.
  • Counselor Deanna Troi: It is the truth as each of you remembers it.
  • Commander William T. Riker: But her version puts a noose around my neck.
  • Commander William T. Riker: [Manua claims Riker assaulted her in a Holodeck simulation] This isn't me. I wasn't the one who closed the door. I didn't proposition her and I certainly didn't try to rape her.
  • Commander William T. Riker: [Manua's version of Riker, as he tries to force himself on her] A princess in a very high tower.
  • [last lines]
  • Captain Picard: Number One, have we any further business in the Tanuga system?
  • Commander Riker: Not that I know of. I'd be more than willing to put it behind me.
  • Captain Picard: Then perhaps you would do me the pleasure of getting this ship underway.
  • Commander Riker: With pleasure, sir. Ensign Crusher, set course for Emila 2, warp three.
  • Wesley Crusher: Course laid in, sir.
  • Commander Riker: Engage.
  • Dr. Nel Apgar: I must say, Commander, I resent this early arrival. Starfleet will get its converter. I've had a few setbacks, that's all.
  • Commander William T. Riker: We're not here to pressure you, Doctor. We just want an update on your progress.
