[Kirk and company have prevented the assassination attempt at Khitomer]
Azetbur : What's happened? What's the meaning of all of this?
Captain James T. Kirk : It's about the future, Madame Chancellor. Some people think the future means the end of history. Well, we haven't run out of history quite yet. Your father called the future - "the undiscovered country". People can be very frightened of change.
Azetbur : You've restored my father's faith.
Captain James T. Kirk : And you've restored my son's.

Azetbur : Many speculated about my father's motives. There were those who said he was an idealist. Others said he had no choice. If Praxis had not exploded, then quite possibly, his idealism would not have found expression. We are a proud race, and we are here because we intend to go on being proud.

Chekov : We do believe all planets have a sovereign claim to inalienable human rights.
Azetbur : Inalien? If you could only hear yourselves. Human rights. Why, the very name is racist. The Federation is no more than a "homo sapiens only" club.
General Chang : Present company excepted, of course.

[as soon as Azetbur finishes her transmission to the Federation President, Kerla unrolls war plans on her desk]
Brigadier Kerla : Attack them now, while we still can!
Klingon general #1 : Attack or be slaves in their world.
Klingon general #2 : We can take whole by force what they propose to divide.
Azetbur : War is obsolete, general... as we are in danger of becoming.

Azetbur : Mr. President, I've been named Chancellor by the High Council in my father's place.
Federation President : Madam Chancellor. You have my sincerest condolences on your recent loss. I want to assure you that this shameful deed will not...
Azetbur : Mr. President, let us come to the point. You want this conference to go forward, and so did my father. I will attend in one week on one condition: we will not extradite the prisoners, and you will make no attempt to rescue them in a military operation. We would consider any such attempt an act of war.
Federation President : We hope you'll be our guest here on Earth.
Azetbur : After recent events, you will understand if I say I prefer a neutral site. And in the interests of security, let us keep the location secret for now.
Federation President : As you wish, Madam Chancellor.
