Quotes 

• Captain Endar : Well, Jono, what do you think of these Humans?

  Jono : They look like me.

• [Picard has suggested to Endar that Jono's broken arm and ribs may have been caused by mistreatment] 

  Captain Endar : Have you ever been a father, Picard? Have you ever had a son desperately trying to win your approval, your respect? Jono broke his ribs riding on a t'stayan. Six hooves - a very powerful beast. The arm... in a contest with other youths. He endured the pain, and won the competition. One day, he will be a great warrior.

• [Endar has implied a retaliatory strike, should Picard refuse to return Jono to him] 

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Are you saying that you're willing to go to war over this boy?

  Captain Endar : Would you not, for your only son?

• Captain Endar : Have they treated you well?

  Jono : Yes, Captain. Except...

  Captain Endar : Except what?

  Jono : I was forbidden to make the B'Nar.

  Captain Endar : [smiles]  Ah. That's all right. I know you've mourned in your heart.
