[LeadHead]

Riker: If it should become necessary to fight, could you arrange to find me some rocks to throw at them?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

WILLIAMS: Sir, the Romulan torpedoes are continuing to arm and disarm.

 

[LeadHead]

[Enterprise1981]

WILLIAMS: Open.

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Romulan vessel, this is Commander William Riker, First Officer of the USS Enterprise. Why did you attempt to fire on us?

RIKER: Why are you still here?

 

[Leandar]

Taris: I have claimed this planet for the Romulan Empire.

 

[Enterprise1981]

RIKER: This is the Neutral Zone. Nobody can "claim" anything.

 

[Leandar]
