Prime Minister Nayrok : You were programed to survive. You can survive at the Lunar V settlement.
Roga Danar : To survive is not enough. To simply exist... is not enough!
Counselor Deanna Troi : Roga, tell them what you want.
Roga Danar : We want our lives back. We want to come home.
Prime Minister Nayrok : I am not prepared to negotiate under threat, Danar. But if you will put down your weapons and return peaceably to Lunar V... I would be willing.
Roga Danar : Mr. Prime Minister, with all due respect, you will have to force us. Or at least try.

[Danar and his fellow soldiers storm into the government building]
Capt. Picard : [as Worf reaches for his phaser] No, Worf! All of you, don't respond! Don't provoke them further! Keep those weapons down unless you wish to be killed!
Prime Minister Nayrok : Do as he said.
Roga Danar : No! Don't! Shoot us, destroy us. Do what you have to. But you will *not* ignore us.
[no response]
Roga Danar : Go on, do it!
[he charges his weapon and fires a blast into the wall, but the Angosians still do not raise their weapons]
Roga Danar : Cowards!
Capt. Picard : Yes, and you're not programmed to murder cowards. So if they will not fight back, what will you do?
Roga Danar : We will not go back.
