[Jean-Luc Picard has found the Borg Queen and Jack, who is now Võx]
What have you done to him?!
What could I do? I have only my words, and the soft assurances of a mother's love.
You are not his mother!
[Jean-Luc Picard shoots at the Borg Queen, but the shots are blocked by a shield]
[laughs] Until recently there was no Collective left. There was only I. It was an unimaginable loneliness. One which Jack and I share.
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.
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.
