So, we have 500 guns pointed at our head. We try to run, we are vapour the second our nacelles light up. Help is days away, and this nebula is wreaking hell on our long-range comms. We are essentially cornered. In space. Which has no corners.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Since when does Starfleet give in to hostile demands? That man is wanted for trial, not execution. And we damn well know that's not a ship, it's a guillotine.

A toast, my friend, to your newborn son.
To Thaddeus!
PPicard
And to parenting, regarded by many as life's greatest challenge. But I have no doubt your son is in capable hands...
Cheers.
PPicard
Because he'll be looked after by the wisest soul. Someone endowed with great kindness, patience, and unconditional love.
I don't know what to say--
PPicard
His mother.

My father is one of the greatest Starfleet engineers that ever lived. People were fine with me following in his footsteps, but the moment I decided to be a pilot ... (scoffs) Oh, boy.
This sounds rehearsed.
SLSydney LaForge
Uh ... People didn't think I belonged, either. "She's here 'cause Starfleet couldn't say no to Geordi La Forge's daughter." One of the few ways my dad and I are alike ... We have a hard time making friends. But when we do, we know their value. Shaw may call you insubordinate for helping yours, but my dad wouldn't.
Thank you. Go rest, ensign.
SLSydney LaForge
Yes, Commander Seven.
[ Jean-Luc Picard fired a single photon torpedo halfway between The Titan and The Shrike before detonating the torpedo with phasers. The maneuver enabled the Titan to increase the distance to the Shrike and to shaken the Shrike.]
Thank you, Jean-Luc.
Will, I think it might be time you called me Number One.
I am Worf, son of Mogh, House of Martok, son of Sergei, House of Rozhenko, Bane to the Duras Family, slayer of Gowron. I have made some chamomile tea. Do you take sugar?
[to a prisoner] Tell me, how long have you been away from the Great Link?
It is not in my nature to stay back. Also, you look conspicuous in that hood.
Says the Klingon in warrior gear.
It is not warrior gear. It is casual.
Seriously? Where do you wear that? To a Tuesday beheading?
Beheadings are on Wednesdays.
[Worf and Raffi Musiker interrogate a Changeling.]
Have you ever seen how far a Klingon warrior can shove a sword up someone's...?
I do not do that anymore. I am wiser now. I was once like her. Maybe you, too. Irrational, violent. Things change with perspective.
Oh, my God.
There is no righteous cause. No good, no evil. You believe in your fight. And take it from someone who has fought many. Your anger is your enemy. We are all the same.
I think I feel my chamomile tea coming back up.
A fight is rarely worth dying for.
[To Jean-Luc Picard] Remove yourself from the bridge. You've just killed us all.
Y’know, there will be a time when you will need to remember that no matter how bleak or unwinnable a situation, as long as you and your crew remain steadfast in your dedication, one to another, you are never ever without hope.
This is the end, my friend. And if I were you, I'd take the next few hours to get to know your son. And to get your affairs in order. I'm so sorry, Jean-Luc.
[to Beverly Crusher] Look, I know that time is precious, but do you think you could give me a moment or two with Jack?
Oh, c'mon. You must've heard about [w:The Best of Both Worlds (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|the Battle of Wolf 359]]. Forty Federation starships up against one Borg cube. I was just in engineering -- just a grease monkey. And the next second... It's like... It was like space itself was burning. Fifty of us made it down to the life deck. But uh-oh! There's just one life-pod. Ten seats. Now, the thing is, we were all friends. They were all my Jack Crusher. We were... We didn't fight over who should live and who should die. No, we-- we waited for orders. And then finally, some Lieutenant comes down and she just starts pointing. "You, and you, and you." And she's pointing at me! What? Why me? I'm just some dipshit from Chicago! And now I'm Lucky Number 10. She didn't even count herself. "Get in," she says, "That's an order." I know, I know, I know. I ask myself the same thing: "Did she make a mistake?"
Eleven thousand dead. Do you know where your old man was on that day? He was on that Borg cube, setting the world on fire! Forget about all that weird shit on the Stargazer. The real Borg are still out there. And they have a name for you. "Locutus of Borg". The only Borg so deadly they gave him a goddamn name.
Forgive me. At some point, asshole became a substitute for charm.
