Q and Jean-Luc Picard in “Unfinished Business”

Q

Now, you're welcome to remain here in the body of a madman, in the world of a madman, to attempt, like Macbeth, to wash the blood from your hands. But I assure you, Jean-Luc... it's un-washable. Or...

Jean-Luc Picard

Q

Atonement. Maybe even... forgiveness?

Jean-Luc Picard

Forgiveness for what?

Q

I think you know. But don't worry. I won't let you do this alone.
