Quotes 

• [after Worf has temporarily played "Captain" of the Enterprise] 

  Commander William T. Riker : How did you like command?

  Lieutenant Worf : Comfortable chair.

  K'Ehleyr : And you wore it well.

• [in an outburst of rage, K'Ehleyr has smashed a glass table to pieces, when Troi enters her quarters] 

  Counselor Deanna Troi : You're upset.

  K'Ehleyr : Your finely honed Betazoid sense tell you that?

  Counselor Deanna Troi : Well - that, and the table.

• Lieutenant Worf : You are late.

  K'Ehleyr : Sorry. Had to make myself beautiful.

  Lieutenant Worf : I fail to understand why.

  K'Ehleyr : Worf, we're alone now. You don't have to act like a Klingon glacier. I don't bite. Well, that's wrong. I *do* bite.

• K'Ehleyr : [having dispatched Worf's exercise program]  It's not much of a program.

  Lieutenant Worf : [gives her a look]  Computer... level two.

• K'Ehleyr : Poor android. Whose behavior do you find more perplexing - Human... or Klingon?

  Lt. Commander Data : At the moment... I would find it difficult to choose.

  K'Ehleyr : So would I.

• K'Ehleyr : Damn you, Worf! You'd let me go without saying another word, wouldn't you?

  Lieutenant Worf : What needs to be said?

  K'Ehleyr : Nothing. Everything.

• Lieutenant Worf : I've noted that some people use humor as a shield. They talk much, yet say little.

  K'Ehleyr : Whereas others take a simpler approach. Say nothing.

  Lieutenant Worf : When one does not have the words...

  K'Ehleyr : Or is loath to speak them...

• [after being intimate with K'Ehleyr, Worf initiates a formal Klingon oath of marriage] 

  K'Ehleyr : Wait. You can't mean...

  Lieutenant Worf : We are mated.

  K'Ehleyr : Yes, I know! I was there!

• Counselor Deanna Troi : I find the exercise programs on the holodeck rigorous enough to take my mind off most frustrations.

  K'Ehleyr : And it'll keep me from wrecking the ship.

  Counselor Deanna Troi : That too.

• K'Ehleyr : I hid the truth from you. Last night did have meaning. I was tempted to take the oath with you. It scared me. I've never had such strong feelings toward anyone.

  Lieutenant Worf : Nor have I.

  K'Ehleyr : Then it *was* more than just a point of honor. Maybe someday, when our paths cross again... I won't be so easy to get rid of.

• K'Ehleyr : Whoever said getting there was half the fun never rode in a class 8 probe.

• K'Ehleyr : I will *not* take the oath!

  Lieutenant Worf : Then this night had no meaning! And *that* I will not believe.

  K'Ehleyr : Believe what you will.

• [K'Ehleyr works in the tactical room when Worf and Data enter] 

  K'Ehleyr : An android chaperone?

  Lt. Commander Data : Android, of course, is correct, but... I fail to see how 'chaperone' is applicable to this situation.

  K'Ehleyr : Never mind.

• K'Ehleyr : Sometimes, I feel there's a monster inside of me, fighting to get out.

  Counselor Deanna Troi : And it frightens you?

  K'Ehleyr : Of course, it does. My Klingon side can be... terrifying - even to me.

  Counselor Deanna Troi : It gives you strength. It's a part of you.

  K'Ehleyr : That doesn't mean I have to like it.

• K'Ehleyr : Tell me one thing. You would have gone through with the oath, wouldn't you? Regardless of the consequences to our careers, to our lives.

  Lieutenant Worf : Honor demanded no less.

  K'Ehleyr : What do you want? Is honor all you care about? Don't you *feel* anything else?

• Lieutenant Worf : There are always options!

  K'Ehleyr : Oh, are there? Tell me, whatever happened to that wonderful Klingon fatalism of yours?

  Lieutenant Worf : My experiences aboard this ship have taught me most problems have more than one solution!

  K'Ehleyr : Starfleet hasn't improved you one bit. You're as stubborn as ever.
