Dr. Beverly Crusher: Twenty Borg are about to break through that door! We need time to get out of here. Create a diversion!
Emergency Medical Hologram: This isn't part of my program. I'm a doctor. . .not a doorstop.

(The Borg break in.)
Emergency Medical Hologram: (attempting to stall them) Uh. . .according to Starfleet medical research, Borg implants can cause severe skin irritations. Perhaps you'd like. . .an analgesic cream?

Lily Sloane: You son of a bitch.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: This really isn't the time!
Lily Sloane: Okay, I don't know jack about the 24th century, but everybody out there thinks that staying here and fighting The Borg is suicide! They're just afraid to come in here in say it!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: The crew is accustomed to following my orders.
Lily Sloane: They're probably accustomed to your orders making sense!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: None of them understand The Borg as I do! No one does. No one can.
Lily Sloane: What is that supposed to mean?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Six years ago, they assimilated me into their collective. I had their cybernetic devices implanted throughout my body. I was linked to the hive mind. Every trace of individuality erased. I was one of them. So, you can imagine my dear that I have a somewhat unique perspective on The Borg and I know how to fight them. Now, if you will excuse me, I have work to do.
Lily Sloane: I am such an idiot. It's so simple. The Borg hurt you, and now you're going to hurt them back.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: In my century, we don't succumb to revenge. We have a more evolved sensibility.
Lily Sloane: Bullshit! I saw the look on your face when you shot those Borg on the holodeck. You were almost enjoying it!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: How dare you?
Lily Sloane: Oh, come on, Captain! You're not the first man to get a thrill from murdering someone! I see it all the time!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: GET OUT!
Lily Sloane: Or what?! You'll kill me?! Like you killed Ensign Lynch?!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: There was no way to save him.
Lily Sloane: You didn't even try! Where was your evolved sensibility then?!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I don't have time for this!
Lily Sloane: Oh, hey! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt your little quest. Captain Ahab has to hunt his whale. . .
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: What?
Lily Sloane: You do have books in the 24th century. . .?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: This is not about revenge. . .
Lily Sloane: Liar!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: This is about saving the future of humanity!
Lily Sloane: JEAN-LUC, BLOW UP THE DAMN SHIP!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: NO! NOOOOOOOOO!! (smashes his phaser rifle into a glass case containing gold models of the Enterprise) I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already. Too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I, will MAKE THEM PAY for what they've done!
   
Dr. Beverly Crusher: So much for the Enterprise-E.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: We barely knew her. . .

Lieutenant Commander Data: Resistance is futile!

Lieutenant Commander Data: Helm standing by.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Mr. Data, lay in a course for the 24th century. I suspect our future is there waiting for us.
Lieutenant Commander Data: Course laid in, sir.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: (happily) Make it so. . .
