• [Captain Kargan has demanded from Riker to reveal the secrets of the Enterprise to him, which Riker refuses] 

  Commander William T. Riker : I will obey your orders, I will serve this ship as First Officer, and, in an attack against the Enterprise, I will die with this crew, but I will not break my oath of loyalty to Starfleet.

  Captain Kargan : If you had told those secrets about the Enterprise, I would have labeled you a traitor and killed you where you stood, but instead you will die with us. You'll die like a Klingon.

• Captain Kargan : You should have killed me.

  Commander William T. Riker : I don't want your command.

  Captain Kargan : But you tricked me to get it.

  Commander William T. Riker : Either way you can have it back.

  Captain Kargan : ...Then return to your station.

  [Riker glances a Klag and stays where he is. Kargan hits him. Klag checks on Riker] 

  Captain Kargan : Get him off my ship!

  Lt. Klag : Yes, Captain.

  [to Riker] 

  Lt. Klag : You understand the Klingons better than I thought, Commander.

  Commander William T. Riker : Thank you, my friend.

• Commander William T. Riker : [presenting himself to Captain Kargan]  Commander William Riker of the Starship Enterprise.

  Captain Kargan : That is incorrect.

  Commander William T. Riker : I don't understand.

  Captain Kargan : You are Commander William Riker, First Officer of the Klingon cruiser the Pagh.

• Captain Kargan : Exactly where are your loyalties, Commander?

  Commander William T. Riker : I'm afraid I still don't understand, sir.

  Captain Kargan : This ship is equipped with our best weapons and our finest warriors. Although we're on a peaceful mission, we're ready to go into battle instantly. I know I can count on every Klingon warrior in this crew to serve and die in that battle. So I ask you again, Commander Riker: where are your loyalties?

• Captain Kargan : Put the ship on full battle alert. Arm all photon torpedoes. Let them charge into their destruction!
