Quotes 

• [the Angosian Prime Minister with his staff and the away team of the Enterprise are held at gunpoint by Roga Danar and his fellow inmates] 

  Prime Minister Nayrok : Captain, you must do something. Call your ship.

  Capt. Picard : Quite right, Prime Minister.

  [he activates his combadge] 

  Capt. Picard : Enterprise, prepare to beam the away team back.

• Prime Minister Nayrok : You were programed to survive. You can survive at the Lunar V settlement.

  Roga Danar : To survive is not enough. To simply exist... is not enough!

  Counselor Deanna Troi : Roga, tell them what you want.

  Roga Danar : We want our lives back. We want to come home.

  Prime Minister Nayrok : I am not prepared to negotiate under threat, Danar. But if you will put down your weapons and return peaceably to Lunar V... I would be willing.

  Roga Danar : Mr. Prime Minister, with all due respect, you will have to force us. Or at least try.

• [Danar and his fellow soldiers storm into the government building] 

  Capt. Picard : [as Worf reaches for his phaser]  No, Worf! All of you, don't respond! Don't provoke them further! Keep those weapons down unless you wish to be killed!

  Prime Minister Nayrok : Do as he said.

  Roga Danar : No! Don't! Shoot us, destroy us. Do what you have to. But you will *not* ignore us.

  [no response] 

  Roga Danar : Go on, do it!

  [he charges his weapon and fires a blast into the wall, but the Angosians still do not raise their weapons] 

  Roga Danar : Cowards!

  Capt. Picard : Yes, and you're not programmed to murder cowards. So if they will not fight back, what will you do?

  Roga Danar : We will not go back.
