Episode Quotes

Ambassador Byleth: Even if I were cheating, how would a plodding animal like you know it?
Lieutenant Worf: You are an insulting, pompous fool! And if you were not an ambassador, I would disembowel you right here!
Ambassador Byleth: Do not let my title inhibit you, Klingon!
Voval: I am sorry if our diplomatic methods offended you.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: No, on the contrary, I found your approach intriguing. We Humans tend to take a rather balanced approach towards life, never too much, never too little. And it's very nice to find a culture that is willing to take an experience to its furthest extreme.
Counselor Deanna Troi: [explaining desserts] It's something we eat after the main course. It's usually very sweet, it's usually very bad for you, um... We eat it purely for pleasure. If you ask me, it's the best part of any meal.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the poker game Worf claims that two of his chips have been stolen but we can see that the ambassador has taken three chips.

Trivia

  • Paul Eiding is allergic to chocolate, which is ironic considering Ambassador Loquel gorges on it for most of his trip. The food he eats at the poker game had to be changed from chocolate-covered raisins at the last minute.
  • The first time Worf, Troi and Dr Crusher are all seen in dress uniform.
  • Cliff Bole, the director was disappointed with this episode. He blamed it on the constant rewrites the script had to go through.
  • Eric (the boy) was named after the nephew of one of the show's producers.
  • In a cut scene, Byleth woke Worf at 0500 hours for a tour of the arboretum.
