Quotes 

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [after Worf has refused to meeting K'Ehleyr with regard to his dishonor]  Lieutenant, you are a member of this crew, and you will not go into hiding whenever a Klingon vessel uncloaks!

  Lieutenant Worf : [agrees]  I withdraw my request, sir.

• [last lines] 

  Alexander Rozhenko : Are you my father?

  Lieutenant Worf : Yes. I am your father.

• [Worf has to answer to Picard for his act of vengeance on Duras] 

  Lieutenant Worf : Sir, I have acted within the boundaries of Klingon law and tradition.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The High Council would seem to agree; they consider the matter closed. I don't. Mister Worf, the Enterprise crew currently includes representatives from thirteen planets. They each have their individual beliefs and values, and I respect them all, but they have all chosen to serve Starfleet. If anyone cannot perform his or her duty because of the demands of their society, they should resign. Do you wish to resign?

  Lieutenant Worf : No, sir.

• Duras : I'm the only one, Worf - the only one who can prove your innocence. Kill me and you're a traitor forever.

  Lieutenant Worf : Then that is how it shall be!

• [Worf has branded Duras a traitor, due to Duras' father's collaboration with the Romulans] 

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Klingon tradition may hold the son responsible for his father's sin. I cannot. Treason was his father's crime. Duras' crime was to lay that blame on your father. I will not forget that. But you should not forget that you chose to accept the consequences of that lie.

  Lieutenant Worf : [agrees]  To preserve the Empire.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mister Worf - isn't it time for the truth about your father's innocence to be told? After all, you only accepted this dishonor to protect the name of Duras and hold the Empire together. Now that he has died in disgrace, what is gained by further silence?

  Lieutenant Worf : Each member of the Klingon High Council has shared in that lie. They will not be so willing to admit their own dishonor. But the day will come when my brother and I will... convince them to speak the truth.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mister Worf, we have a conspiracy on our hands that could be a direct threat to the security of the Federation.

  Lieutenant Worf : Yes, sir.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : As Chief Security Officer, I want you to accompany me to the next proceeding.

  Lieutenant Worf : Captain, they will be incensed. My presence will be disruptive.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Yes. It will.

• Lieutenant Worf : There is no honor in attacking the weak.

• K'Ehleyr : A few minutes ago, you looked like someone with a question to ask.

  Lieutenant Worf : Must I ask the question?

  K'Ehleyr : Yes. You must.

• Lieutenant Worf : You should not have kept *this* from me!

  K'Ehleyr : Well... now you know.

• K'Ehleyr : Were you concerned about me?

  Lieutenant Worf : As Head of Security, it is my duty to be... concerned.

  K'Ehleyr : Is that it? Just "official" concern for my well-being?

• Lieutenant Worf : [referring to his dishonor]  Respect my wishes in this matter. I cannot take the oath with you. Nor can I claim your son.

  K'Ehleyr : If you cannot be his father... at least be his friend.

• Lieutenant Worf : I know little of Gowron - only that he is an outsider who has often challenged the Council. But Duras... I know *him*! His heart is *not* Klingon.

• Alexander Rozhenko : Where are the other Klingons?

  Lieutenant Worf : There are no others on board.

  Alexander Rozhenko : Why?

  Lieutenant Worf : The Federation and the Klingon Empire were enemies for many years. No other Klingons have asked to serve in Starfleet.

  Alexander Rozhenko : Why?

  Lieutenant Worf : A warrior does not ask so many questions!

• Lieutenant Worf : [of Alexander]  He knows nothing of our ways!

  K'Ehleyr : *Our* ways? You mean Klingon ways, don't you?

  Lieutenant Worf : He *is* Klingon!

  K'Ehleyr : He is also my son and I am half Human. He will find his own ways. Why the sudden concern? You won't even acknowledge that he's yours.

• Lieutenant Worf : [about the bat'leth]  Do not think of it as a weapon. Make it part of your hand - part of your arm. Make it part of you.

• Lieutenant Worf : [to the candidates]  What did your investigations reveal about the explosion?

  Duras : [impudently]  It was a bomb.

  Lieutenant Worf : [irritated]  And was your analysis just as... INSIGHTFUL?

  Gowron : [a little bored]  It was a common explosive.

  Lieutenant Worf : [sharply]  What type?

  Gowron : Triceron.

  Lieutenant Worf : What about the detonator?

  Duras : [fuming]  This is pointless! Findings were inconclusive!

  Lieutenant Worf : [pointedly]  Fortunately, OUR investigation was more THOROUGH! The bomb used a molecular decay detonator!

• Lieutenant Worf : You have never seen death...?

  [Alexander shakes his head] 

  Lieutenant Worf : Then look - and always remember.
