Jean-Luc Picard quotes from Star Trek: Picard

Jean-Luc Picard

Mr. La Forge, may I?

Geordi La Forge

Absolutely, Admiral.

Jean-Luc Picard

Computer: initiate system reactivation procedures.

Authorization acknowledged. USS Enterprise now under command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Jean-Luc Picard

Well, I hereby accept the field demotion.

Jean-Luc Picard

Mr. Data, set a direct course for Earth, maximum warp.

Data

Aye, Captain. Course laid in, sir. She's ready.

Jean-Luc Picard

Engage!

Jean-Luc Picard

What have you done to him?!

What could I do? I have only my words, and the soft assurances of a mother's love.

Jean-Luc Picard

You are not his mother!

[laughs] Until recently there was no Collective left. There was only I. It was an unimaginable loneliness. One which Jack and I share.

Jean-Luc Picard

You're a liar, a deceiver! You wormed your way into his head!

[enraged] He found me! At the very edge of space where you left us... poisoned. No worlds to consume, no roads by which to return! Just the cruelty to die by starvation and age! And then... as the cries of my children faded, another voice rose. Louder, clearer. Jack's voice.

Jean-Luc Picard

Let him go. Take me! I'm the one you want! Your equal!

[cackles derisively] No, I don't want you, Locutus. The future of the Borg does not lie in assimilation... but evolution.

Jean-Luc Picard

You're insane! You consumed what little collective you had left!

Only to sustain myself long enough to arrive at this moment, to invite you here to witness.

Jean-Luc Picard

Witness what?

[smirks cruelly] Your future's end.
