Commander William T. Riker : Something wrong, sir?
Capt. Picard : I just got a message from Starfleet Command.
Commander William T. Riker : Bad news?
Capt. Picard : You could say that. I've been invited to the annual Starfleet Admirals' banquet.
Commander William T. Riker : My condolences.
Capt. Picard : I've managed to avoid it for the past six years, but now it would seem that my luck has run out. I can't think of anything more tedious - fifty admirals shaking hands, making dull conversation, uninteresting food, boring speeches...
Commander William T. Riker : Can't you think of some excuse to get out of it?
Capt. Picard : After six years, Number One, I don't think I have any excuses left. Besides, I've been invited by Admiral Nakamura, the Sector Commander. He'd consider it an insult if I turned him down.
Commander William T. Riker : We could cause a diplomatic crisis. Take the ship into the Neutral Zone and attack the Romulans. That should get you out of the banquet.
Capt. Picard : I wouldn't count on it.

Lieutenant Worf : Ever since you gave Alexander that music program, he's been playing it all night. *Every* night!
Commander William T. Riker : Just wanted to broaden his horizons. Besides, he likes it.
Lieutenant Worf : It is screeching, pounding dissonance. It is not music.
Commander William T. Riker : Worf, It's better than music. It's jazz.

Admiral Nakamura : You're not trying to avoid this particular engagement, are you, Picard?
Capt. Picard : No, no, certainly not. I'm... really looking forward to it.
Admiral Nakamura : Good. I'll expect you soon. Nakamura out.
Commander William T. Riker : I think he's on to you, sir.

Commander William T. Riker : Will someone answer that damn ringing?

Commander William T. Riker : [after yet another warp drive failure] Talk about going nowhere fast.
