Commander William T. Riker : What's the Zakdornian word for 'mismatch'?
Sirna Kolrami : Challenge.

[Kolrami has criticized Riker's inappropriate joviality and lack of seriousness for a commanding officer]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Don't confuse style with intent. Only a fool would question Commander Riker's dedication to Starfleet and the men and women under his command. He is simply the finest officer with whom I have ever served.
Sirna Kolrami : We shall see if your faith is well-founded.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The test is whether the crew will follow where Commander Riker leads. His... his "joviality" is the means by which he creates that loyalty. And I will match his command style with your statistics anytime.

[despite Data's reservations, Dr. Pulaski has suggested that he play Kolrami in a game of Strategema]
Sirna Kolrami : Play against a machine - hmm... Why should I wish to?
Doctor Pulaski : I don't blame you. It's no fun going into a game when you know you're going to lose.
Sirna Kolrami : But I wouldn't lose. Now you're no doubt going to tell me that I have to prove it to you.
Doctor Pulaski : Come on, Data, you can't let that pass!
Lt. Commander Data : Indeed, I...
[Pulaski, imploringly, mouths "please" to him]
Lt. Commander Data : ...cannot.

Sirna Kolrami : [of Riker] He's quite good.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : He's the best.
-
Sirna Kolrami : An opponent of limited dimensions can often be quite diverting.

[the Enterprise is facing a real battle with a Ferengi ship]
Lt. Commander Data : Our shields will not withstand another assault, sir.
Sirna Kolrami : Then there are no options. Retreat - or die!
