  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Number One, will you set a course for Starbase 227, I'll join you on the bridge shortly.

  Commander William T. Riker : Wait a minute - you've been declared dead. You can't give orders around here.

  Lt. Commander Data : [to Riker]  If we are to adhere to the exact letter of Starfleet regulations, then technically, sir, you have been declared a renegade. In fact, I believe you are facing twelve counts of court martial offenses. You cannot give orders either, sir.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : That's quite right. And as I am supposed to be dead, I'll go and get some sleep, and Mr. Data, I suggest that you escort Commander Riker to the brig.

  Lt. Commander Data : Aye, sir.

  [while Picard enters his quarters, an amused Riker starts to go about his own business, when Data holds him back...] 

  Lt. Commander Data : This way, sir.

  [... and, unperturbed, leads him away in the opposite direction] 

  Commander William T. Riker : Data, he was joking... You know that, right? Data?

• Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [as Galen]  What's wrong, Commander? You're having second thoughts about betraying your comrades? Because that's what you've done - betrayed them. Betrayed them in order to save yourself. You used to be just a second-rate officer. Now you're a traitor and a coward. How does that feel?

  [Riker whirls around and punches Picard in the face] 

  Commander William T. Riker : I don't know, how did *that* feel?

• [Picard is startled by Riker, who is entering the room, and almost shoots him] 

  Commander William T. Riker : Good to see you too.
