Riker: "I like my species the way it is."
Locutus: "A narrow vision. You will become one with
the Borg. You will all become one with the Borg." |
| |
|
|
|
Locutus:
"The knowledge and experience of the human, Picard, is
part of us now. It has prepared us for all possible
courses of action. Your resistance is hopeless .. Number
One." |

Admiral Hansen:
"Lieutenant, a few years ago, I watched a freshman cadet
pass four upperclassmen on the last hill of the forty-kilometer
run at Delulin II. The damnest thing I ever saw, the only
freshman to ever win the Academy Marathon. I made it my
business to get to know that young fellow, and get to know
him very, very well. And I'll tell you something. I never
met anyone with more drive and determination or more
courage than Jean-Luc Picard. And there is no way in hell
that he would assist the Borg." |

|
Admiral Hansen:
[to Riker] "Commander Riker, I hereby promote you
to the field commission of captain. The Enterprise is your
ship now. Congratulations." |
| |
|
|
|
Riker:
"Commander, we don't have to like each other to work well
together. As a matter of fact, I'd like you to continue to
keep me on my toes."
Shelby: "Some might define that as the role of a
first officer."
Riker: "Damn, you are ambitious, aren't you
Shelby?" |
| |
|
|
|
Riker:
"Commander Shelby, prepare to initiate your plan to
separate the saucer section when we find the Borg."
Shelby: "Sir, I must remind you that Captain Picard
was briefed on that plan. The Borg will be prepared for
it."
Riker: "I'm aware of that, Commander. In fact, I'm
counting on it."
Shelby: "Crusher, Carteno, Gleason, report to the
battle-bridge."
Riker: "Mister Data, Mister Worf, I have a special
mission for you." |
| |
|
|
|
Riker:
"Once he was wired into the Borg, they knew everything
that he knew. I just hope it goes both ways." |
| |
|
|
|
Locutus:
"A futile maneuver. Incorrect strategy, Number One, to
risk your crew and ship to retrieve only one man. Picard
would never have approved. You underestimate us, if you
believe this abduction is any concern." |
| |
|
|
|
Beverly:
"As long as these Borg implants are functioning, there's
no way I can separate the man from the machine."
Data: "Then perhaps, there is a way I can access
the machine, Doctor." |
| |
|
|
|
Riker:
"Ensign Crusher, at their current speed, when will they
reach Earth?"
Wesley: "Twenty-seven minutes."
Riker: "The soonest we can intercept?"
Wesley: [sighs] "Forty-two minutes, sir." |
| |
|
|
|
O'Brien:
"At what point should I shut it down if there's a
problem?"
Data: "I do not know. I have never done this
before." |
| |
|
|
|
Data:
"Fascinating. The Borg group consciousness is divided into
subcommands, necessary to carry out all functions. Defense,
communications, navigation. They are all controlled by a
root command." |
| |
|
|
|
Data:
"Sir, what command shall I attempt to plant?"
Riker: "Something straightforward, like 'Disarm
your weapons systems.'" |
| |
|
|
|
Riker:
"Mister Data, what the hell happened?"
Data: "I successfully planted a command into the
Borg collective consciousness. It misdirected them to
believe that it was time to regenerate. In effect, I put
them all to sleep."
Riker: "To sleep?"
Data: "Yes, sir." |
| |
|
|
|
Troi:
"How do you feel?"
Riker: "Almost human ... with just ... a bit of a
headache." |
| |
|
|
|
Riker:
"How much do you remember?"
Picard: "Everything ... including some brilliantly
unorthodox strategy from ... a former first officer of
mine." |
| |
|
|
|
Shelby:
"I imagine you'll have your choice of any Starfleet
command, sir."
Riker: "Everyone is so concerned about my next job.
With all due respect, Commander,"
[to Picard] "Sir, my career plans are my own
business, and no one else's. But it's nice to know I have
a few options."
Shelby: "I hope I have the fortune of serving with
you again, sir." |
