Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Captain, we're beaming over a replacement coil.
T'Jon : That's great! And that'll fix us up?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Yes, once it's installed.
T'Jon : Right...
[pause]
T'Jon : And how do we do that?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [under his breath, to Riker] What is the matter with these people?
-
T'Jon : Captain, I hope you realize what you've done to us.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Of that you can be sure.
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Captain, how long have you been in command of this freighter?
T'Jon : Seven years. This is my 26th voyage to Brekka.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : And you don't know how to align a control coil?
T'Jon : It's never come up.

Lieutenant Tasha Yar : [the crew are trying to rescue a freighter from burning up in a planet's atmosphere] Captain, the tractor beam is available... if you want it?
Commander William T. Riker : At least we could pull them out of orbit before they enter the atmosphere.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [to the viewscreen] Freighter, we're going to lock on the tractor beam and pull you out of orbit.
T'Jon : Hey, that... that's great.
[Picard can't quite hide his bemusement with Captain T'Jon's cavalier attitude in this crisis situation]
Lt. Worf : [the Enterprise tractor beam tries and fails to grab onto the freighter] Captain, the freighter's orbit continues to deteriorate.
Lieutenant Tasha Yar : The solar flares are interfering with the tractor beam, Captain. I can't lock on.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Captain T'Jon, we are unable to attach the tractor beam because of the intense solar activity.
T'Jon : [disinterested as ever] I understand. Thanks for trying.
