KOSINSKI: Would you get on the auxiliary power, please? In order to save time my assistant is going to lay in my base formulas more rapidly than any human being possibly could, even myself. So, here then in the simplest possible terms is what I do. Now, this warp drive system has been tuned only in the grossest possible sense, at least according to my standards. What I do is specific. (He continues to brag..)

KOSINSKI: ..As we consider the following. Now, is this merely mechanics? Or is it nature that we deal with in all of this, and what else than nature are the elementals of space and time? You are trained in the system you are, you go in a straight line, confident yes, perhaps even innovative in a minimalist sort of way but, what I do here is not the end of the process. It is the beginning. So, what do I do? Go back to the Fearless which I left with a more efficient warp drive system than I found? Or do you cast off your ignorance, and allow me to continue?
Riker: Then we'll let him try it.
ARGYLE: Yes, we might as well let him try it.
KOSINSKI: Oh yes, "we might as well let him try it." You are too generous. Boy! Boy, don't play with that.
PICARD: Engineering, this is the Bridge. It's your call.
RIKER: Engineering to bridge, did you copy that?
