Dr. Adam Soong quotes from Star Trek: Picard

Adam Soong

I'm no stranger to lost lab rats. To catch one, you don't follow it through the maze. You force it to the surface.

Adam Soong

We have to create our own destiny. Captains of ships and captains of industry, to men like us, love and fear... the same thing. A means to an end.

Adam Soong

Do you have the cure? The real cure? Not something that wears off. Because if you do, I am a hostage to you, sir.

Q

We're all hostages to what we love. The only way to truly be free is to love nothing. And how meaningless would that be? I have what she needs.

Adam Soong

Picard! [Picard stops, and stares at Adam Soong] Adam Soong. [pause, Adam Soong shakes his head] I believe we have a friend in common. A Mr. Q.

Jean-Luc Picard

He's not a friend.

Adam Soong

That's what he said about you.

Jean-Luc Picard

Listen to me: have nothing to do with him!

Adam Soong

I have no interest in being part of some... whatever this is. So do yourself a favor: walk away. I can't allow Renee to complete this mission. Stay away from her.

Jean-Luc Picard

I could say the same to you.

Adam Soong

I don't have a choice.

Jean-Luc Picard

You really don't understand who you're dealing with.

Adam Soong

[signals to a Europa Mission board memeber] Neither do you.

Dr. Soong! Thank you for the generous donation to the Europa Mission. I'm in shock! Welcome to the board! Anything we can do for you? Our VIP tour?

Adam Soong

Actually, there is something. That gentleman... [Soong turns away from Picard]
