Star Trek: First Contact quotes

View Quote Defiant Helmsman: Main power's off-line. We've lost shields. Our weapons are gone.

View Quote Beverly Crusher: I have a patient here who insists on coming to the bridge.
Jean-Luc Picard: Welcome aboard the Enterprise E, Mr. Worf.
Worf: Thank you, sir. The Defiant?.
Jean-Luc Picard: Adrift, but salvageable.
William Riker: Tough little ship.
Worf: [incredulous] Little?
Jean-Luc Picard: Mr. Worf, we could use some help at Tactical.
[when Worf takes control of Tactical, Riker approaches him]
William Riker: You do remember how to fire phasers?
[as he sees Worf indignant, he walks away smiling]

View Quote Borg Queen: Destroy them.

Borg Queen: Watch your future's end.
[suspense builds as the torpedoes move towards the Phoenix, but the torpedoes just miss the small warp ship]
Borg Queen: [realizing that Data has betrayed her] DATA!
Data: [in an angry tone] Resistance is futile! [breaks open the coolant conduit on the warp core and coolant starts to flood the room]

Data: Not always, but often.

View Quote Data: She brought me closer to humanity than I ever thought possible, and for a time...I was tempted by her offer.
Jean-Luc Picard: How long a time?
Data: Zero point six eight seconds, sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity.

View Quote Data: Your efforts to break the encryption codes will not be successful. Nor will your attempts to assimilate me into your collective.
Borg Queen: Brave words. I've heard them before from thousands of species across thousands of worlds since long before you were created. But now, they are all Borg.
Data: I am unlike any lifeform you have encountered before. The codes stored in my neural net can not be forcibly removed.
Borg Queen: You are an imperfect being created by an imperfect being. Finding your weakness is only a matter of time.

View Quote Deanna Troi: If you're looking for my professional opinion as ship's counsellor: he's nuts.
William Riker: I'll be sure to note that in my log.

View Quote Deanna Troi: Time line?! This is no time to argue about time! We don't have the time. What was I saying?
William Riker: You're drunk.
Deanna Troi: I am not.
William Riker: [laughs] Yes, you are.
Deanna Troi: [very drunk] Look, he wouldn't even talk to me unless I had a drink with him. And then, it took three shots of something called tequila just to find out he was the one we're looking for. And I spent the last 20 minutes trying to keep his hands off me. So don't go criticizing my counselling technique.
William Riker: [laughs] Sorry.
Deanna Troi: It's a primitive culture. I'm just trying to blend in.
William Riker: You're blended all right.

Lily Sloane: Who? Those bionic zombies you told me about, the--
Jean-Luc Picard: Borg.

. . .
Liliy Sloane: [after seeing Borg drones for the first time] Definitely not Swedish.

View Quote Jean-Luc Picard: Lieutenant Hawk, set a course for Earth. Maximum warp.
Sean Hawk: Aye, sir.
Jean-Luc Picard: [addressing the bridge crew] I'm about to commit a direct violation of our orders. Any of you who wish to object should do so now. It will be noted in my log.
