Quotes 

• CPO Sergey Rozhenko, ret. : [about Worf as a child]  So we walk into the school, and we didn't know what to expect - is Worf hurt, is he in some kind of trouble? The door opens, and there is our little seven-year-old sitting on a chair and glaring across the room at five teenage boys, all of them with bloody noses!

  [Geordi laughs] 

  Helena Rozhenko : And then the principal looked up and said, "Please, tell me he's an only child."

• CPO Sergey Rozhenko, ret. : [of Worf]  He never wanted any Human food while he was growing up. Everything had to be Klingon.

  Helena Rozhenko : I learned to cook rokeg blood pie.

  CPO Sergey Rozhenko, ret. : However, we never quite learned how to eat it.

• CPO Sergey Rozhenko, ret. : Don't call me 'sir'; I used to work for a living.

• [repeated line, while visiting the Enterprise] 

  CPO Sergey Rozhenko, ret. : I have all the specs and diagrams at home.

• CPO Sergey Rozhenko, ret. : You look good, son. Put on a little weight, huh?

  Lieutenant Worf : No.

  CPO Sergey Rozhenko, ret. : Sure you have. Looks good on you. Still working out with those holodeck monsters, I bet.

• Helena Rozhenko : [discussing Worf]  It was a difficult adolescence.

  Guinan : But you got through it.

  CPO Sergey Rozhenko, ret. : We didn't do anything special.

  Guinan : Didn't you? Just look at him. I think he's pretty special.

  Helena Rozhenko : We knew it wouldn't be easy for him. Growing up without other Klingons to turn to for guidance.

  CPO Sergey Rozhenko, ret. : We had to let him discover and explore his heritage by himself. Let him find his own path.

  Guinan : So many parents could learn so much from the two of you.
