Quotes 

• Ensign Stefan DeSeve : I have a message from Ambassador Spock. He said it involves further... 'cowboy diplomacy'. He said you would understand.

• Ensign Stefan DeSeve : On Romulus you learn not to volunteer information. It's a hard habit to break.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Well, maybe now would be a good time to start.

• Ensign Stefan DeSeve : The Romulans are very moral, Captain. They've an absolute certainty about what is right and what is wrong, who's a friend and who's an enemy - a strict moral compass, which provides them with a clarity of purpose. At one time, I found their sense of purpose, their... passion and commitment to be very compelling.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : But not anymore?

  Ensign Stefan DeSeve : As I've grown older, I realize that clarity of purpose is a more... ambiguous matter than I had thought in my youth.
