• [last lines] 

  [it has been revealed that warp fields can cause subspace instabilities, which would make warp flight potentially impossible] 

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You know, Geordi, I spent the better part of my life exploring space. I have charted new worlds, I've... met dozens of new species. And I believe that these were all valuable ends in themselves. And now it seems that... all this while, I was... helping to damage the thing that I hold most dear.

  Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : It won't turn out that way, Captain. We still have time to make it better.

• [DaiMon Prak has accused Picard of disabling his vessel] 

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : DaiMon, clearly there has been some misunderstanding. I think it would be in all our interests if you were to come aboard and we discussed this situation.

  DaiMon Prak : I see no reason to trust you, Human.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : In that case, we'll be on our way. I'll relay your position to your government if you wish - in case you're unable to complete your repairs and you remain stranded.

  [he turns away] 

  DaiMon Prak : Perhaps, er... it would be better to discuss the situation.
