Locutus of Borg: I am Locutus of
Borg. Resistance is futile. |
| |
|
|
|
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: The moment
I have dreaded for nearly six years has finally arived.
The Borg; our most lethal enemy, have begun an invasion
of the Federation. . .and this time there may be no
stopping them. |
| |
|
|
|
Commander William T. Riker: Your
experience with The Borg makes you the perfect man to
lead this fight.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Admiral Hayes disagrees. |
| |
|
|
|
Lieutenant Commander Data: Captain,
I believe I speak for everyone here, sir, when I
say. . .to hell with our orders! |
|
|
|
|
|
Commander William T. Riker:
(referring to the Defiant) Tough little ship.
Lieutenant Commander Worf: Little?! |
|
|
|
|
|
Lieutenant Commander Data:
Population: approximately nine billion. . .all Borg. |
|
|
|
|
|
Lily Sloane: You're going to regret
this tommorrow.
Zephram Cochrane: One of the things you should
have learned about me by now, is that I don't have
regrets. |
|
|
|
|
|
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: HOLD YOUR
FIRE! WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU!
Lily Sloane: BULLSHIT! |
|
|
|
|
|
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: 39.1
degrees Celsius. . .like a Borg ship. They knew their
ship was doomed. Our shields were down, somehow they
transported over here without being detected. They'll
assimilate the Enterprise and then. . .Earth. |

Dr. Beverly Crusher: I swore I'd
never use one of these. Computer, activate the E.M.H.
program!
Emergency Medical Hologram: Please state the
nature of the medical emergency.
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.
Dr. Beverly Crusher: Well, do a dance, tell a
story, I don't care! Just give us a few seconds!
(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? |
|
|
|
|
|
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: You may
encounter Enterprise crewmembers who've already
been assimilated. Don't hesitate to fire. Believe me,
you'll be doing them a favour. |
|
|
|
|
|
Lieutenant Commander Data: Captain.
. .I believe I am feeling. . .anxiety. It is an
intriguing sensation. A most distracting--
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Data, I'm sure it's a
fascinating experience, but, perhaps you should
deactivate your emotion chip for now.
Lieutenant Commander Data: Good idea, sir.
(Clicks it off) Done.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Data, there are times
when I envy you. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Borg Queen: I am the beginning,
the end, the one who is many. I am The Borg. |
|
|
|
|
|
Zephram Cochrane: And you people,
you're all. . .astronauts. . .on some kind of star trek? |
|
|
|
|
|
Nicky the Nose: Well, well. Look
what the cat dragged in. What's shakin', Dix?
Dixon Hill/Captain Picard: The usual, Nick; martinis
and skirts! |
|
|
|
|
|
Lily Sloane: (notices a Starfleet
combadge on a dead Borg) Oh, my! Jean-Luc, it's one of
your uniforms!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: (distractedly) Yes. .
.this was Ensign Lynch. . .
Lily Sloane: Tough luck, huh? |
|
|
|
|
|
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Mr. Worf. .
.do you remember your zero-G combat training?
Lieutenant Commander Worf: I remember it made me
sick to my stomach. . . |
|
|
|
|
|
(space-walking)
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: How are you doing, Mr.
Worf?
Lieutenant Commander Worf: Not well, sir. . . |
|
|
|
|
|
Lieutenant Commander Worf:
Assimilate this! |
|
|
|
|
|
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. . .
Dr. Beverly Crusher: Think they'll build another
one?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Plenty of letters back
in the alphabet. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Borg Queen: Watch. . .your
future's end. |
|
|
|
|
|
Lieutenant Commander Data:
Resistance is futile! |
|
|
|
|
|
Vulcan Captain: Live long and
prosper. |
|
|
|
|
|
Lily Sloane: I envy you; the world
you're going to.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I envy you; taking these
first steps into a new frontier. I shall miss you, Lily.
(kisses her softly) |
|
|
|
|
|
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. .
