SATIE: When Starfleet ordered me here, it was with the express command that we work together on this problem as equals. My father taught me to avoid partnerships. Most of them are woefully lop-sided.

- Start date
SATIE: You knew my father?
SATIE: He was an extraordinary man. Every night at the dinner table he would pose a question for debate. My big brothers and I would wrangle it around, from one side and the other. Father would referee, and he kept a stopwatch on us so we'd have to learn brevity. But he wouldn't let us leave until he thought we'd completely explored the issue.
SATIE: More than once. Father loved it when I nailed one of them with some subtle point of logic. All that I am, I owe to him. He was a giant.
SATIE: Captain, I always preferred working alone. That way, if something goes wrong, I don't have to go far for the cause. I resented you being assigned to me, but I was wrong. We're going to be quite a team.
SABIN: You've done a thorough job, Lieutenant.
SABIN: Yes, I can see that. I don't mind telling you I'm surprised. Frankly, when I first heard about your father...
WORF: What he did or did not do is no one's concern but my own
WORF: If there is a conspiracy on board, I promise you I will find it.
