- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Number One, will you set a course for Starbase 227, I'll join you on the bridge shortly.
- Commander William T. Riker: Wait a minute - you've been declared dead. You can't give orders around here.
- Lt. Commander Data: [to Riker] If we are to adhere to the exact letter of Starfleet regulations, then technically, sir, you have been declared a renegade. In fact, I believe you are facing twelve counts of court martial offenses. You cannot give orders either, sir.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: That's quite right. And as I am supposed to be dead, I'll go and get some sleep, and Mr. Data, I suggest that you escort Commander Riker to the brig.
- Lt. Commander Data: Aye, sir.
- [while Picard enters his quarters, an amused Riker starts to go about his own business, when Data holds him back...]
- Lt. Commander Data: This way, sir.
- [... and, unperturbed, leads him away in the opposite direction]
- Commander William T. Riker: Data, he was joking... You know that, right? Data?
- Counselor Deanna Troi: [examining Riker, who has been "killed" by Picard] He's all right. He's only stunned.
- Lt. Commander Data: I must admit, I am experiencing a similar sensation.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [as Galen] What's wrong, Commander? You're having second thoughts about betraying your comrades? Because that's what you've done - betrayed them. Betrayed them in order to save yourself. You used to be just a second-rate officer. Now you're a traitor and a coward. How does that feel?
- [Riker whirls around and punches Picard in the face]
- Commander William T. Riker: I don't know, how did *that* feel?
- [Galen alias Picard has instigated a mutiny]
- Baran: [to his crew] He's plotted this all along. Opposed me at every turn. Endangered all of us by refusing to follow his orders.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: To follow *your* orders - the orders of a small man trying to fill a role too big for him!
- [Picard is startled by Riker, who is entering the room, and almost shoots him]
- Commander William T. Riker: Good to see you too.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [as Galen] It's over, Baran.
- Baran: [takes out his control device] Not quite. As long as I have this, I'm still Captain of this ship.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: You can't kill all of us. You need us to run the ship more than we need you to command it.
- Baran: I don't have to kill you all. Just you, Galen.

- Lieutenant Worf: [narrating the pirate ship's attack on the Enterprise] Direct hit to the port nacelle. Only minimal damage. Hit to the starboard nacelle. Still no appreciable damage.
- Counselor Troi: Will must have done something to their weapons.
- Lt. Commander Data: I believe you are right, Counsellor. It is now up to us to play along. Release inertial dampers and cut power to Decks 31 through 37.
- Ensign Giusti: Aye, sir.
- Lt. Commander Data: Set phasers to 25%. Return fire.
- Lieutenant Worf: Aye, sir.
