• Wesley Crusher : You'd let me do that? You'd let me throw away my career, just to save your neck?

  Nicholas Locarno : To save the team! That's more important than you. And it's more important than me. And if I were in your place, I'd do it, without hesitation. But that's me.

• Wesley Crusher : We're Starfleet cadets. We have a duty to the truth.

  Nicholas Locarno : What about your duty to your friends? I got you on this team. I gave you a chance, when there were upperclassmen waiting in line. I said, "He won't let us down. He was on the Enterprise. He knows what it's like to trust somebody with his life." Well, I guess I was wrong.

  Wesley Crusher : If we all come forward together and tell Admiral Brand...

  Nicholas Locarno : We don't wanna come forward! Sito, Jean and me, we don't have a problem with this. But if you do, then resign your appointment to the Academy and walk away. Don't make us pay for your guilty conscience.
