• [after being injured in the turbolift, Picard has 'ordered' the children to leave him behind and save themselves] 

  Marissa Flores : The crew has decided to stick together. We all go, or we all stay.

  Capt. Picard : [after considering the options]  All right. I'll try. But I want you to know, this is mutiny.

• [last lines] 

  Capt. Picard : You have the bridge, Number One.

  Marissa Flores , Commander William T. Riker : Aye, sir.

• [Picard has appointed Marissa his 'Number One' and Jay Gordon his 'Science Officer' to inspire courage in them] 

  Patterson Supera : Can I be an officer, too?

  Capt. Picard : Well, let me see, um... Your science projects involved radishes, did it not?

  Patterson Supera : Yes, sir.

  Capt. Picard : Then I shall appoint you my executive officer in charge of radishes.

• [Picard is trying to keep up morale while climbing up the ladder in the turboshaft] 

  Capt. Picard : What we need is a climbing song. Marissa, is there a song that you sing at school?

  Marissa Flores : Mmm... "The Laughing Vulcan and His Dog?"

  Capt. Picard : I'm afraid I don't know that one...

• Capt. Picard : [Picard and three children are stuck between decks in a malfunctioning turbolift]  Number One, those big clamps are part of the emergency system. They're designed to hold the turbolift in place if something goes wrong. But it would seem that they're damaged.

  Marissa Flores : Is that why we keep shaking?

  Capt. Picard : Yes, now when they give way, we shall fall. You must take you're crew out of here before that happens. Now, there's a ladder that runs the length of the turboshaft. You can climb up it until you come to an open doorway. Now, you're the leader, and that's an order.

  Marissa Flores : [the lift shakes]  Well... what about you?

  Capt. Picard : My ankle is broken. I will just slow you down, and you need to move quickly.

  Marissa Flores : [to Jay Gordon and Patterson]  We have to climb the shaft.

  Patterson Supera : I want to stay with you, Captain.

  Capt. Picard : Patterson! You're an officer. You have to obey orders.

  Patterson Supera : I don't want to be an officer anymore. I want to stay here with you.

  Jay Gordon Graas : If the Captain stays here, we won't make it. We'll all die.

  Capt. Picard : We don't have time to argue. You must go now.

  Marissa Flores : The crew has decided to stick together. We all go or we all stay.

  Capt. Picard : Alright, I'll try. But I want you to know, this is mutiny.

• Capt. Picard : Well, then, um... what did you do for your science projects?

  Patterson Supera : I planted radishes in this special dirt, and they came up all weird.

  Capt. Picard : I see. That's very... very commendable.

• Capt. Jean-Luc Picard : Your name is 'Marissa,' right?

  [Marissa nods] 

  Capt. Jean-Luc Picard : Well, Marissa, I need a first officer to help me. You're the eldest, and so, that makes you my Number One.

  Marissa Flores : 'Number One?'

  Capt. Jean-Luc Picard : That's what I always call my first officer.

• [first lines] 

  Capt. Picard : [voiceover]  Captain's log, stardate 45156.1. Our mission to Mudos 5 has been completed and, since our next assignment will not begin for several days, we are enjoying a welcome respite from our duties.
