Quotes 

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : We will begin the ja'chuq.

  Gowron : [incredulous]  What?

  Duras : This woman has been giving you bad advice, Picard! The ja'chuq is obsolete.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : It is my choice to respect the ancient rituals. Each of you will have to prove your worthiness to lead the High Council.

  Gowron : That will take hours.

  K'Ehleyr : Or days - depending on your cooperation.

• Gowron : Have you never wondered about serving the Klingon Empire?

  K'Ehleyr : I serve in my own way.

  Gowron : As a Federation ambassador. A few rewards - but little glory.

  K'Ehleyr : What do you want?

  Gowron : What do YOU want? Command of a ship? A seat on the Council? There are many opportunities for you in the Empire.

  K'Ehleyr : Opportunities that will present themselves only if YOU come to power. You talk like a Ferengi.

  Gowron : K'mpec was also stubborn; he, too, refused to listen. *Now*... he is gone. You need not make the same mistake.

  K'Ehleyr : K'mpec was old and weak! I am not!

• Lieutenant Worf : [to the candidates]  What did your investigations reveal about the explosion?

  Duras : [impudently]  It was a bomb.

  Lieutenant Worf : [irritated]  And was your analysis just as... INSIGHTFUL?

  Gowron : [a little bored]  It was a common explosive.

  Lieutenant Worf : [sharply]  What type?

  Gowron : Triceron.

  Lieutenant Worf : What about the detonator?

  Duras : [fuming]  This is pointless! Findings were inconclusive!

  Lieutenant Worf : [pointedly]  Fortunately, OUR investigation was more THOROUGH! The bomb used a molecular decay detonator!
