Quotes
-
Gul Ocett : The Yridian who sold us the information claimed that the program would yield the key to an unlimited power source.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : But until we assemble it, we will never know its purpose.
Gul Ocett : He's right. As far as we know, it might just be a recipe for biscuits.
Captain Nu'Daq : Biscuits? If that is what you believe, then go back to Cardassia. I will send you my mother's recipe.
-
Captain Nu'Daq : That's all? If she were not dead, I would kill her.
Gul Ocett : The very notion that a Cardassian could have anything in common with a Klingon - it turns my stomach.
-
Lt. Commander Data : You are attempting to bribe me.
Captain Nu'Daq : Not at all.
[after Nu'Daq has assured Data a promising career in the Klingon Empire if he gave him the information on the missing fragment before everyone else]
-
Captain Nu'Daq : [to Data, who is sitting at a table in Ten Forward, holding a PADD] Commander, your reputation for physical strength is known even in the Klingon Empire. Are you familiar with the B'aht Qul challenge?
Lt. Commander Data : I am familiar with many Klingon rituals including the B'aht Qul.
[Nu'Daq grins and grunts in eagerness as he promptly sits down across from Data, his hands out, inviting him to challenge him in a B'aht Qul. Data sets down the PADD and mirrors the Klingon Captain]
Captain Nu'Daq : Wa', cha', wej!
[translation: One, two, three!]
Captain Nu'Daq : [Data instantly and easily pushes Nu'Daq's arms back on the table and resumes reading his PADD. Nu'Daq stands up, shocked]
Captain Nu'Daq : [shouts] Maw'tok!
[Growling, Nu'Daq grabs Data and attempts to headbutt him. There is a loud clang and Nu'Daq staggers backwards, nearly knocking himself out. He sits on the floor, dazed and winded]
Lt. Commander Data : My upper spinal support is a polyalloy, designed to withstand extreme stress. My skull is composed of cortenide and duranium.
