View Quote James T. Kirk: Who am I to argue with the captain of the Enterprise? What's the name of that planet? Veridian III?
Jean-Luc Picard: Yes.
James T. Kirk: I take it the odds are against us and the situation is grim.
Jean-Luc Picard: You could say that.
James T. Kirk: You know, if Spock were here, he'd say that I was an irrational, illogical human being for taking on a mission like that. Sounds like fun.

View Quote James T. Kirk: You say history considers me dead. Who am I to argue with history?
Jean-Luc Picard: You're a Starfleet officer. You have a duty.

View Quote Jean-Luc Picard: If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's never underestimate a Klingon.

View Quote Jean-Luc Picard: What you're about to do, Soran, is no different from when the Borg destroyed your world. They killed millions, too, including your wife... your children.
Tolian Soran: [smiles] Nice try. You know there, was a time when I wouldn't hurt a fly. Then the Borg came, and they showed me that if there is one constant in this whole universe, it's death. Afterwards, I began to realize that it didn't really matter. We're all going to die sometime. It's just a question of how and when. You will, too, Captain. Aren't you beginning to fell time gaining on you? It's like a predator. It's stalking you. Oh, you can try and outrun it with doctor, medicines, new technologies, but in the end, time is going to hunt you down and make the kill.
Jean-Luc Picard: It's our mortality that defines us, Soran. It's part of the truth of our existence.
Tolian Soran: What if I told you I found a new truth?
Jean-Luc Picard: The nexus?
Tolian Soran: Time has no meaning there. The predator has no teeth.

View Quote John Harriman: Captain Kirk, I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.
James T. Kirk: First, move us within transporter range, beam those people aboard the Enterprise.
John Harriman: What about the gravimetric distortions? They'll tear us apart.
James T. Kirk: Risk is part of the game if you want to sit in that chair.
John Harriman: Helm, close to within transporter range.
James T. Kirk: Second, [to reporter] turn that damned thing off.

View Quote John Harriman: I remember reading about your missions when I was in grade school.
James T. Kirk: Oh, really?

View Quote Montgomery Scott: Finding retirement a little lonely, are we?
James T. Kirk: You know, I'm glad you're an engineer. With tact like that, you'd make a lousy psychiatrist.
