DaiMon Goss : My name's DaiMon Goss, and these are my counsels Kol and Doctor Arridor. We'll need chairs.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I'm Captain Picard of the Enterprise; I am serving as host for these proceedings.
DaiMon Goss : Good. Then see to it we get some chairs.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Let me explain...
DaiMon Goss : Fine, fine, just have your Klingon servant get us some chairs!
Lieutenant Worf : I'm in charge of security!
DaiMon Goss : Then who gets the chairs?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : DaiMon, due to the delicate nature of these negotiations, all parties have agreed that one representative will suffice. Now, I will be happy to provide your consuls with accommodations, and you... may have *my* chair.

[Picard asks Riker to replace Mendoza as Federation representative at the negotiations]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You're the next likely choice. And Mr. Mendoza will certainly agree. He's quite impressed by your natural instincts.
Commander William T. Riker : Excuse me, sir, but those weren't natural instincts; those were poker instincts. A card game doesn't exactly prepare me for this.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Yes, the stakes are higher. But then, isn't that when the game gets interesting, Commander?

Counselor Deanna Troi : Computer, dispatches.
Enterprise Computer : A research inquiry from the Manitoba Journal of Interplanetary Psychology and three communiques from your mother.
Counselor Deanna Troi : [sighs] Transfer the letters from my mother to the viewscreen. And computer, I would like a real chocolate sundae.
Enterprise Computer : Define real in context, please.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Real. Not one of your perfectly synthesised, ingeniously enhanced imitations. I would like real chocolate ice cream, real whipped cream...
Enterprise Computer : This unit is programmed to provide sources of acceptable nutritional value. Your request does not fall within current guidelines. Please indicate whether you wish to override the specified program.
Counselor Deanna Troi : [annoyed] Listen...
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [over comm] Picard to Counselor Troi.
Counselor Deanna Troi : [sighs] Now what?

Counselor Deanna Troi : Yes, Captain?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The pleasure of your company is requested, Counselor. We're having a little impromptu reception for the arriving delegates.
Counselor Deanna Troi : I'm not really dressed for a reception.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Oh, Counselor! Just throw on any old thing. We're about to get our first look at the wormhole.
Counselor Deanna Troi : Of course, Captain. I'm on my way.
[taps badge]
Counselor Deanna Troi : God forbid I should miss my first look at the wormhole.
