Lursa
- Lursa: Captain. What an unexpected pleasure.
- Picard: Lursa, it is very important that I speak with Soran.
- Lursa: I'm afraid the doctor is no longer aboard our ship.
- Picard: Then I will beam to his location.
- B'Etor: The doctor values his privacy. He would be quite upset if an armed away team interrupted him.
- Picard: Then I will beam to your ship and you can transport me to Soran.
- Riker: We can't trust them. For all we know, they killed Geordi. They might kill you, too.
- Lursa: We did not harm your engineer. He's been our... guest.
- Riker: Then return him!
- B'Etor: In exchange for what?
- Data: Me, sir.
- Picard: Me. I will be your prisoner. But first, you must beam me to the surface so that I can speak with Soran.
- B'Etor: [in an audible whisper] The captain would make a much more valuable hostage.
- Lursa: We'll consider it a prisoner exchange.
- Picard: Agreed.
- [heading to the turbolift]
- Picard: Have Dr. Crusher meet me in transporter room 3. You have the bridge, Number One.
- Dr. Soran: You got careless. The Romulans came looking for their missing trilithium.
- B'Etor: Impossible. We left no survivors on their outpost.
- Dr. Soran: They knew it was on the observatory. If the Enterprise hadn't intervened, they would have found it.
- Lursa: They didn't find it! And now we have a weapon of unlimited power.
- Dr. Soran: No, Lursa, *I* have the weapon, and if you ever want me to give it to you, I would advise you to be a little more careful in the future.
- B'Etor: [putting a knife to his throat] Perhaps we are tired of waiting.
- Dr. Soran: [chuckling in amusement] Without my research, the trilithium is worthless, as are your plans to re-conquer the Klingon Empire.
