• Ambassador Briam : I must admit, I'm curious.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Curious?

  Ambassador Briam : I was chosen for this mission for a very simple reason: I'm 200 years old.

But you, you worked with her, side by side, for days. How could you resist her?

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Ambassador, have a safe trip home.

• [the "cargo" has been damaged and changes appearance] 

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : What is happening?

  Ambassador Briam : Emergence.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I trust, Ambassador, that this cargo is in no way dangerous?

  Ambassador Briam : Oh, no, nothing of the sort. I'm cautious because it's quite fragile, and... quite irreplaceable.

• Ambassador Briam : [on the Temple of Akadar]  This is where the wars began. And this is where they shall end.
