Commander William Thomas 'Will' Riker
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [on Sarek] I met him once. Many years ago, very briefly at his son's wedding. I can tell you, that was quite a moment for a young lieutenant, standing in the presence of such history. I remember he spoke to me, and I just stood there grinning like an idiot.
- Commander William T. Riker: You, tongue-tied?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Indeed. How do you make small talk with someone who shaped the Federation?
- [Sarek and his party have arrived on the Enterprise]
- Commander William T. Riker: The way Mendrossen described him, I expected to see a frail old man.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I hope *I'm* that frail when I'm 202 years old.
- Commander William T. Riker: Is Captain Picard all right?
- Ambassador Sarek: Don't worry, Number One.
- Commander William T. Riker: And... the Ambassador?
- Ambassador Sarek: I am myself again. It has been a long time.
- Commander William T. Riker: Is it my imagination, or have tempers become a little frayed on this ship lately?
- Lieutenant Worf: I hadn't noticed.
- [they enter Ten Forward, where a mass brawl is in full swing]
- Lieutenant Worf: I see what you mean.
