WorfDrop your shields...IMMEDIATELY!
And if I refuse?
Worfthen die in ignorance.
Lieutenant, I order you to relax.
WorfI AM RELAXED!
How’d you like command?
WorfComfortable chair.
It is exactly as they left it, Number One. In the bottle. [seeing his confusion]... The ship in the bottle. [further confusion] Good Lord, didn't anybody here build ships in bottles when they were boys?
WorfI did not play with toys.
I was never a boy.
[brightly] I did, sir.
[The others all look at O'Brien for a moment]
Thank you, Mister O'Brien. Proceed.
[O'Brien beams Picard, Worf, and Data to the alien vessel. After the sequence is complete, he notices Riker, still staring at him.]
[defensively] I did! I really did! Ships in bottles? Great fun!
Lieutenant, I understand your feelings about the Romulans, but this is not the time or the place.
WorfIf you had seen them kill your parents, you would understand, Doctor. It is always the time and the place for those feelings.
This Romulan didn't murder your parents. And you are the only one who can save his life.
WorfThen he will die.
My name is DaiMon Goss and these are my counsels, Kol and Dr Aridor. We'll need chairs.
I'm Captain Picard of the Enterprise. I am serving as host for these proceedings.
Good. Then see to it we get some chairs.
Let me explain.
Fine, fine, just have your Klingon servant get us some chairs.
WorfI am in charge of security!
Then who gets the chairs?
How do you allow Klingon peta'Q to walk around in a Starfleet uniform?
WorfYou are lucky this is not a Klingon ship. We know how to deal with spies.
Remove this tohzah from my sight!
Your knowledge of Klingon curses is impressive. But, as a Romulan might say, only a veruul would use such language in public.
I urge you, Captain Picard: surrender. Consider the men and women you would lead into a lost cause!
If the cause is just and honorable, they are prepared to give their lives. Are you prepared to die today, Tomalak?
I expected more than an idle threat from you, Picard.
Then you shall have it! Mr. Worf?
WorfAye, sir!
[Picard's secret backup of cloaked Klingon warbirds materialize, surrounding the Romulans]
WorfKlingon warships, armed and ready, sir!
[Tomalak shows a look of shock.]
What shall it be, Tomalak?
You will still not survive our assault.
And you will not survive ours. Shall we die together?
I have no powers! Q the ordinary!
Q the liar! Q the misanthrope!
Q the miserable, Q the desperate! What must I do to convince you people?
WorfDie!
Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?
If I ask a very simple question, do you think you might be able to answer it without it troubling your intellect too much? (He enters the cell) Ready? Here goes. Would I permit you to lock me away if I still had all my powers?
WorfYou have fooled us too often, Q.
Perspicacity incarnate! Please don't feel compelled now to tell me the story of the boy who cried Worf.
[Guinan gives Worf a small glass of deep purple liquid]
All right, try this.
WorfWhat is it?
Just try it.
[Worf drinks. After a moment, he looks at the glass, astonished, then up at Guinan]
You see? It's an Earth drink. Prune juice.
[looking at the glass appreciatively]
Worf[awestruck] A warrior's drink.
Is it my imagination, or have tempers become a little frayed on the ship lately?
WorfI hadn't noticed.
[Riker, Troi and Worf walk into Ten-Forward, where a large bar fight is in progress.]
WorfI see what you mean.
...Geordi, what the hell is going on here!?
I wish I knew!
Now, how the hell do we defeat an enemy that knows us better than we know ourselves?
WorfThe Borg have neither honour nor courage. That is our greatest advantage.
Never mind, Mr. Worf, just have Commander Data fetch me in a shuttle. And have him bring a uniform.
WorfDid you say... uniform?
WorfThe Federation does have enemies, we must seek them out!
Oh yes, that's how it starts, but the road from legitimate suspicion to rampant paranoia is very much shorter than we think.
