• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I regret, DaiMon Tarr, that I can no longer negotiate unless it is conducted visually.

  Daimon Tarr : Your complete message not received, Enterprise, but visual communication is against our custom.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : And it is against Starfleet orders to accept a surrender otherwise. Do you withdraw your surrender?

  Daimon Tarr : [after a moment of dead air]  You give us no choice, Enterprise. May we have a visual on you, as well?

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [nonverbally giving Tasha the order]  Agreed, DaiMon Tarr. You should be able to view us now. Are we on your screen?

  Daimon Tarr : [his image appears on their viewer]  Yes, the ugliness of the hu-man was not an exaggeration. I do not know how your twisted alien culture has paralyzed our vessel, but I concede your Enterprise is superior. We will return your worthless T-9 device and we offer the lives of our second officers as required by the Ferengi code.

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : [whispering to Geordi]  Fortunately, Starfleet has no such rules involving its second officers.

  Daimon Tarr : Is this to your satisfaction, Picard Captain?

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Your offer may be inadequate, but I will discuss it with my staff. Stand by for further communication.

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Ferengi vessel, we await your response.

  Lieutenant Tasha Yar : Suggest first strike, sir. Our shields now only have 63 seconds of power left before lowering.

  Lieutenant Worf : If the Ferengis' ship sensors can read us, sir, they will be waiting until we are most vulnerable.

  Commander William T. Riker : I'm afraid I agree, Captain. They have not responded...

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : We will wait a bit more, Number One.

  Lieutenant Tasha Yar : 50 seconds.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Patience. Patience.

  Daimon Tarr : The quicker we can come to terms, the better, NCC-1701-D.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Who is speaking?

  Daimon Tarr : I am Tarr, DaiMon of the Ferengi. You wish to discuss surrender, Captain Picard?

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : What I said, DaiMon Tarr, is...

  Daimon Tarr : Unconditional surrender, I warn you, is totally unacceptable. We will die to the last one of us before such dishonor.

  Lieutenant Tasha Yar : [Picard gives her the "cut it" gesture]  Hailing frequencies closed, sir.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Something has seized their ship, too. They're in the same predicament as us. Launch a sensor probe. Set it to search for the source of... whatever this "something" is that is holding both ships.
