Patrick Massett: Duras

Quotes 

• Duras : This is not your world, Human. You do not command here.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I'm not here to command.

  Duras : Then you must be ready to fight. Something Starfleet does not teach you.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You may test that assumption at your convenience.

• Duras : You are a fool. And your challenge can only result in a fool's death.

  Lieutenant Worf : It is a good day to die, Duras. And the day is not yet over.

• Duras : You claim a birthright you have forsaken.

  Lieutenant Worf : I have not forsaken my heritage. I am Klingon. My heart is of this world. My blood is as yours.

  Duras : Yet you come here in a child's uniform and you bring outsiders to our great halls.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise.

  Duras : Your words have no place here, human.

  K'mpec : Duras. Let him speak.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Lt. Worf has served under my command with distinction. He has earned my admiration and my respect. It is my greatest wish that this council, in its wisdom, will clear his family name and return him to duty.

  K'mpec : The trust of a commanding officer is admirable and is noted.

• Duras : It was a wise choice to hide your family name. Do not err now by embracing it again, for you only embrace death.

  Kurn : We shall see.

  Duras : Worf has made a choice and he will die for it. But you can still be safe. Let him stand alone.

  Kurn : He is my brother. I will not betray him!

  Duras : Then you will die for him!

• Duras : I have no reluctance to kill you, Human.

• Duras : [the fallen at Khitomer]  Those deaths must be avenged.
