Q

"Dr. Soong, I presume?"

"You're dying."

"Another quality I sincerely loathe about your species. Empathy."

"Farewell, mon capitaine. It's time for me to go. But not alone. Isn't that the point of all this? See you out there."

"A macro head with a micro brain..."

"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross... but it's not for the timid."

"What must I do to convince you people?"

"Die."

"I'm not good in groups. It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent."

"As I learn more and more what it is to be human, I am more and more convinced that I would never make a good one. I don't have what it takes. Without my powers I'm frightened of everything. I'm a coward... and I'm miserable... and I can't go on this way."

"There are creatures in the universe who would consider you the ultimate achievement, android. No feelings, no emotions, no pain, and yet you covet those qualities of Humanity. Believe me, you're missing nothing. But if it means anything to you, you're a better Human than I."

"Oh, you're so stolid! You weren't like that before the beard!"

"That Picard never had a brush with death, never came face to face with his own mortality, never realised how fragile life is. Or how important each moment must be. So his life never came into focus."

"Enterprise? Oh yes, weren't you one of the little people?"

"An abysmal place, Earth. Oh, don't get me wrong! A thousand years ago it had character - the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, Watergate. Now it's just mind-numbingly dull."

"Still chasing your own tail? Picard and his lackeys would have solved all this techno-babble hours ago. No wonder you're not commanding a starship!"

"Two down, one to go..."

"See you... out there."

"If the continuum has told you once they have told you a thousand times. DON'T PROVOKE THE BORG!"

"Do you recall what I said to you when last we parted ways? The trial never ends."

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"You've been talking a lot about second chances. Well, my friend, welcome to the very end of the road not taken."

"Oh, you undersell yourself, Jean-Luc. You are more than just a piece. Why, you're the very board upon which this game is played."
