Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Beverly, it is our obligation to think of escape.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : An excellent reason to escape.
-
Kyril Finn : This is a war for independence. And I am no different than your own George Washington.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Washington was a military general, not a terrorist.
Kyril Finn : The difference between generals and terrorists, Doctor, is only the difference between winners and losers.
-
Doctor Beverly Crusher : I'm sorry. If I'd only gone back to the ship.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I should've beamed you up.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : You wouldn't dare.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Oh, yes, I would, and should.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Without my permission?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : If you don't follow orders.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : If you'd give reasonable orders, I'd obey.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Doctor, I will be the judge of what is reasonable!

Kyril Finn : It's the inverter. It's given our cause a new life, but... it asks for our lives in return.
-
Kyril Finn : I am fighting the only war that I can against an intractable enemy. Now I'm fighting a big war against a more powerful adversary. Can't you see how that helps me?
Doctor Beverly Crusher : I'm afraid I can't.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : He's added another chair to the negotiating table.
Kyril Finn : *You* added the chair, Captain; I am simply forcing you to sit in it.

Doctor Beverly Crusher : [some of the Ansata terrorists] What happened to them?
Kyril Finn : It's the inverter. It's given our cause a new life, but it asks for our lives in return.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : What does it do?
Kyril Finn : We transport through a dimensional shift that the Rutian sensors can't trace.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Dimensional shifting? You can't do that with humanoid tissue.
Kyril Finn : There are risks... the designers warned us. But... it works.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : [Beverly scans Finn with her tricorder] You're showing the same distorted readings. Not as severe as the others, but...
Kyril Finn : [brushes it off] It doesn't matter.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : It does if it kills you.
Kyril Finn : Don't you know? A dead martyr's worth ten posturing leaders.

Doctor Beverly Crusher : You've scared the hell out of me, Finn! You've controlled me through fear, just like you've tried to control this whole continent!
Kyril Finn : You haven't tasted real fear yet, Doctor.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Is that the best you can do? Is fear the only weapon you have?
Kyril Finn : No, but... it's a good one.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : You know what scares me the most, Finn? It scares me to think that you might win this fight, and gain real power!

Doctor Beverly Crusher : You should be drawing, not killing people.
Kyril Finn : I can do both.
