Quotes 

• K'Ehleyr : [to Worf]  Not even a bite on the cheek, for old times' sake?

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : We will begin the ja'chuq.

  Gowron : [incredulous]  What?

  Duras : This woman has been giving you bad advice, Picard! The ja'chuq is obsolete.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : It is my choice to respect the ancient rituals. Each of you will have to prove your worthiness to lead the High Council.

  Gowron : That will take hours.

  K'Ehleyr : Or days - depending on your cooperation.

• K'Ehleyr : A few minutes ago, you looked like someone with a question to ask.

  Lieutenant Worf : Must I ask the question?

  K'Ehleyr : Yes. You must.

• Lieutenant Worf : You should not have kept *this* from me!

  K'Ehleyr : Well... now you know.

• K'Ehleyr : Were you concerned about me?

  Lieutenant Worf : As Head of Security, it is my duty to be... concerned.

  K'Ehleyr : Is that it? Just "official" concern for my well-being?

• Lieutenant Worf : [referring to his dishonor]  Respect my wishes in this matter. I cannot take the oath with you. Nor can I claim your son.

  K'Ehleyr : If you cannot be his father... at least be his friend.

• Lieutenant Worf : [of Alexander]  He knows nothing of our ways!

  K'Ehleyr : *Our* ways? You mean Klingon ways, don't you?

  Lieutenant Worf : He *is* Klingon!

  K'Ehleyr : He is also my son and I am half Human. He will find his own ways. Why the sudden concern? You won't even acknowledge that he's yours.

• Gowron : Have you never wondered about serving the Klingon Empire?

  K'Ehleyr : I serve in my own way.

  Gowron : As a Federation ambassador. A few rewards - but little glory.

  K'Ehleyr : What do you want?

  Gowron : What do YOU want? Command of a ship? A seat on the Council? There are many opportunities for you in the Empire.

  K'Ehleyr : Opportunities that will present themselves only if YOU come to power. You talk like a Ferengi.

  Gowron : K'mpec was also stubborn; he, too, refused to listen. *Now*... he is gone. You need not make the same mistake.

  K'Ehleyr : K'mpec was old and weak! I am not!

• Duras : I have been informed of your attempt to access restricted Council records.

  K'Ehleyr : I have been investigating what happened at Khitomer. Not at all an easy task, considering that most of the records are sealed.

  Duras : Worf's father was a traitor!

  K'Ehleyr : No. The evidence was altered to make it appear that way. I found it interesting to read that your father was also at Khitomer, and you are the one who sealed the records.

  Duras : You dare insult my father's name?

  K'Ehleyr : Don't play the wounded Klingon for me, Duras. You don't do it very well. What happened in that Council chamber? How did you get Worf to take the blame for you?

  Duras : Do not pursue this matter further!

  K'Ehleyr : The son betrays his people to the Romulans, just as his father did - Duras.

• K'Ehleyr : The Klingon Empire is at a critical juncture. We may be facing civil war.

  Commander William T. Riker : War over what?

  K'Ehleyr : The usual excuses: tradition, duty, honor...

  Lt. Commander Data : The word "excuses" implies alternative reasons for a conflict.

  K'Ehleyr : I won't bore you with the intricacies of Klingon politics. Suffice it to say, two factions are trying to seize power.
