Cristóbal Rios quotes from Star Trek: Picard

So are we excited? Intimidated? Maybe a teensy bit starstruck? Jean-Luc Picard! Chief contact with the Q Continuum. Arbiter of succession for the Klingon Empire. Savior of Earth from Borg invasion. Captain of the Enterprises D and E. The man even worked alongside the great Spock.

Cristóbal Rios

You are an emergency hologram. We no longer have a navigational emergency. Why are you still here?

Well, someone is experiencing an acute moodiness overload. Picard is a good man, Captain Rios. He's on the side of the angels.

Agnes Jurati

What's your book about?

Cristóbal Rios

The existential pain of living with the consciousness of death, and how it defines us as human beings.

Agnes Jurati

Well, that's not a conversation killer at all.

Raffi Musiker

Try to stay away from the lizard. Beta Anari can smell when you're not telling the truth.

Agnes Jurati

Seriously?

Raffi Musiker

Also, what you had for dinner. And the last person you had sex with.

Cristóbal Rios

If they're not the same thing.

Agnes Jurati

Cause that's not disturbing.

Raffi Musiker

Oh man.

Cristóbal Rios

How many?

Raffi Musiker

Uh, 218 warbirds.

Cristóbal Rios

Ah. 218. That's not so bad.

Raffi Musiker

True. You really only have to worry about the first 109.

Calculating temporal trajectory. Initiating tachyon radiation splinter bursts. Neutralising threats.

Rios

[Noticing his controls going haywire] Whoa... [The La Sirena fires torpedoes at two Confederation ships, destroying them] What the... [Rois looks again at the controls] Admiral? [Picard looks at Rios] I'm no longer in command of this ship.

Tallinn

Tell me about the others. Can they be trusted?

Jean-Luc Picard

Oh, no question. We've been through thick and thin together. There is no better bunch of...

Raffi Musiker

Rios, you're twisting his back.

Cristóbal Rios

It's okay.

Tallinn

Is that your crew? The people carrying a dead cop out the door?

Jean-Luc Picard

Oh, I... I'm sure he's not dead. [Nervous laugh]
