Lieutenant Worf : [about Klingon tea ceremony] It is a test of bravery - of one's ability to look at the face of mortality. It is also a reminder that death is an experience best shared - like the tea.
Doctor Pulaski : Worf, you're a romantic!
Lieutenant Worf : It is among the Klingons that love poetry achieves its fullest flower.
-
Lieutenant Worf : I am fine.
Doctor Pulaski : You're not fine, you fainted.
Lieutenant Worf : I did not faint. Klingons do not faint.
Doctor Pulaski : Excuse me, I'll rephrase: this Klingon suffered a dramatic drop in blood pressure; his blood glucose level dropped. There was deficient blood flow resulting from circulatory failure. In other words, he curled up his toes and lay unconscious on the floor.
Lieutenant Worf : Doctor, there is no need to insult me.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : They started out together. It seems only... fitting they should end up together.
Doctor Pulaski : It's a match made in heaven.
Commander William T. Riker : Unfortunately, it will have to be a shotgun wedding.

Doctor Pulaski : [about the Mariposan clone colony] They've got two or three generations, and then the fading will be terminal. They're among the walking dead now. They just haven't been buried.
-
Doctor Pulaski : Now, quote me a little of that poetry.
-
Doctor Pulaski : [about the Bringloidi] You know, they were anachronistic in 2123. It will be interesting to see how they cope.
Commander William T. Riker : They'll learn and adapt. If Danilo Odell is any indication, they'll be running this place inside of a week.
