Ambassador Briam
- Ambassador Briam: I must admit, I'm curious.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Curious?
- Ambassador Briam: I was chosen for this mission for a very simple reason: I'm 200 years old. The temptations of a beautiful metamorph do not easily reach me, and yet I would be lying if I were to claim that, even at my age, they... they do not reach me at all. But you, you worked with her, side by side, for days. How could you resist her?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Ambassador, have a safe trip home.
- [the "cargo" has been damaged and changes appearance]
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: What is happening?
- Ambassador Briam: Emergence.
- Ambassador Briam: Until we reach the rendezvous with the Valtese, may I ask the cargo bay be declared off-limits to all but the most essential personnel?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I trust, Ambassador, that this cargo is in no way dangerous?
- Ambassador Briam: Oh, no, nothing of the sort. I'm cautious because it's quite fragile, and... quite irreplaceable.
- Ambassador Briam: [on the Temple of Akadar] This is where the wars began. And this is where they shall end.
