The Emissary

[the Enterprise approaches the T'Ong, a Klingon battle cruiser]
Lt. Commander Data: Sensors show life forms aboard, but I am unable to ascertain whether they are awake or dormant; however, their propulsion system is inactive, so I would hypothesize that the crew is asleep.
[the Klingon ship fires at them]
Lt. Commander Data: However, I could be in error.

[in an outburst of rage, K'Ehleyr has smashed a glass table to pieces, when Troi enters her quarters]
Counselor Deanna Troi: You're upset.
K'Ehleyr: Your finely honed Betazoid sense tell you that?
Counselor Deanna Troi: Well - that, and the table.

K'Ehleyr: [having dispatched Worf's exercise program] It's not much of a program.
Lieutenant Worf: [gives her a look] Computer... level two.

Lieutenant Worf: You are late.
K'Ehleyr: Sorry. Had to make myself beautiful.
Lieutenant Worf: I fail to understand why.
K'Ehleyr: Worf, we're alone now. You don't have to act like a Klingon glacier. I don't bite. Well, that's wrong. I *do* bite.

K'Ehleyr: Poor android. Whose behavior do you find more perplexing - Human... or Klingon?
Lt. Commander Data: At the moment... I would find it difficult to choose.
K'Ehleyr: So would I.

K'Ehleyr: Damn you, Worf! You'd let me go without saying another word, wouldn't you?
Lieutenant Worf: What needs to be said?
K'Ehleyr: Nothing. Everything.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Whenever Starfleet gets enigmatic, I know we're about to face a challenge.

Lieutenant Worf: I've noted that some people use humor as a shield. They talk much, yet say little.
K'Ehleyr: Whereas others take a simpler approach. Say nothing.
Lieutenant Worf: When one does not have the words...
K'Ehleyr: Or is loath to speak them...

[after being intimate with K'Ehleyr, Worf initiates a formal Klingon oath of marriage]
K'Ehleyr: Wait. You can't mean...
Lieutenant Worf: We are mated.
K'Ehleyr: Yes, I know! I was there!

[in order to accustom a rather suspicious Captain K'Temoc to the 24th century, Worf poses as Captain of the Enterprise]
Lieutenant Worf: Captain, as you are new to this century, I have tried to be patient, but I will tolerate no further insubordination. Drop your shields, immediately!
Capt. K'Temoc: And if I refuse?
Lieutenant Worf: Then die in ignorance. I can waste no more time on you.

Counselor Deanna Troi: I find the exercise programs on the holodeck rigorous enough to take my mind off most frustrations.
K'Ehleyr: And it'll keep me from wrecking the ship.
Counselor Deanna Troi: That too.

K'Ehleyr: I hid the truth from you. Last night did have meaning. I was tempted to take the oath with you. It scared me. I've never had such strong feelings toward anyone.
Lieutenant Worf: Nor have I.
K'Ehleyr: Then it *was* more than just a point of honor. Maybe someday, when our paths cross again... I won't be so easy to get rid of.

K'Ehleyr: Whoever said getting there was half the fun never rode in a class 8 probe.

[first lines]
Commander Riker: Looking good. I'll go five.
Doctor Pulaski: Five here.
Lieutenant La Forge: And five more.
Lt. Commander Data: I believe the wiser course of action is to bend.
Lieutenant La Forge: You mean fold, Data.
Lt. Commander Data: That is correct. Fold. To bend. To make compact or capitulate.
Lieutenant Worf: I raise fifty.
Lt. Commander Data: I do not believe Lieutenant Worf understands all the nuances of the betting process.
Commander Riker: I wouldn't be so quick to judge, Data. His pile's a lot bigger than yours.
Doctor Pulaski: Than any of ours.
Lt. Commander Data: The cards have been favouring the Lieutenant but that is the result of random chance. Therefore, a temporary condition.
Lieutenant La Forge: You hope.

[K'Ehleyr works in the tactical room when Worf and Data enter]
K'Ehleyr: An android chaperone?
Lt. Commander Data: Android, of course, is correct, but... I fail to see how 'chaperone' is applicable to this situation.
K'Ehleyr: Never mind.

K'Ehleyr: Sometimes, I feel there's a monster inside of me, fighting to get out.
Counselor Deanna Troi: And it frightens you?
K'Ehleyr: Of course, it does. My Klingon side can be... terrifying - even to me.
Counselor Deanna Troi: It gives you strength. It's a part of you.
K'Ehleyr: That doesn't mean I have to like it.

K'Ehleyr: Tell me one thing. You would have gone through with the oath, wouldn't you? Regardless of the consequences to our careers, to our lives.
Lieutenant Worf: Honor demanded no less.
K'Ehleyr: What do you want? Is honor all you care about? Don't you *feel* anything else?

Lieutenant Worf: There are always options!
K'Ehleyr: Oh, are there? Tell me, whatever happened to that wonderful Klingon fatalism of yours?
Lieutenant Worf: My experiences aboard this ship have taught me most problems have more than one solution!
K'Ehleyr: Starfleet hasn't improved you one bit. You're as stubborn as ever.

Doctor Pulaski: [during a poker game; to Riker] I'm glad you stayed in... I needed the chips.
