Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [Picard has returned to the Enterprise, his double having been unmasked] ... The replica was convincing?
Commander William T. Riker : Very convincing, but... not perfect.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : How so?
Commander William T. Riker : [DELETED LINE] Well, sir... I find it hard to believe that a *Frenchman* would lead his crew in singing the official naval march of the *United Kingdom*... even if he knew the lyrics.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [DELETED LINE] Very astute, Number One... I've never claimed to be a singer at all.
[Riker smirks]
Commander William T. Riker : [DELETED LINE] That, too.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I look forward to reading your report, Commander... At least, I *think* I do.

Commander William T. Riker : What is our mission?
False Captain Picard : I'm under no obligation to tell you that.
Commander William T. Riker : If you don't, you force me to take command of this vessel.
False Captain Picard : On what grounds?
Commander William T. Riker : You are endangering this ship for no reason.
False Captain Picard : No reason *you're* aware of.
Commander William T. Riker : That's not good enough. Your behavior has been erratic.
False Captain Picard : Erratic enough to justify mutiny? Do you honestly believe you have sufficient evidence to convince a board of inquiry?
Commander William T. Riker : No, I don't. But I can't let you risk the lives of this crew.
