Quotes 

• Minuet : Will was saying how much he enjoys this assignment. It's a credit to you. For a ship and crew to function well, it always starts with the captain. You set the tone.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : At this moment, it is you who is setting the tone.

• Commander William T. Riker : I could develop feelings for Minuet. Exactly as I would for any woman.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Doesn't love always begin that way? With the illusion more real than the woman?

• [last lines] 

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You know, Number One - some relationships just can't work.

  Commander William T. Riker : Yes - probably true. She'll be difficult to forget.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [explaining the necessity to destroy the Enterprise by auto-destruct]  Our ship has been commandeered by a force of unknown size and intent. We're here alone. We must assume the worst.

• Minuet , Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [in French]  In our hearts, we are all Parisians.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [to the Bynars, summing up another happy-end]  No one has been hurt, you've achieved your objective, you have your planet back in order... We have our ship.

  Zero One : You might have

  One Zero : said no.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [voice over]  Captain's log, stardate 41365.9. The Enterprise has been ordered to Starbase 74, in orbit around Tarsas 3. A routine maintenance check of all systems will be made and certain upgrades completed, including the holodeck, with which we've had problems. I anticipate a glowing report. The ship has responded magnificently, beyond anyone's expectations.
