Star Trek Nemesis quotes
Page 2 of 3Will Riker, you have been my trusted right arm for fifteen years. You have kept my course true and steady. Deanna Troi, you've been my guide and my conscience. You have helped me recognize the better parts of myself. You are my family. And in best maritime tradition, I wish you both clear horizons. My good friends... make it so.
You are me. The same noble Picard blood runs through our veins. Have you lived my life, you'd be doing exactly as I am. So look in the mirror. See yourself. Consider that, Captain. I can think of no greater torment for you.
Shinzon. I'm a mirror for you as well.
Not for long, Captain. I'm afraid you won't survive to witness the victory of the echo over the voice.
Helmsman, lay in a new course. Take us to Romulus, warp eight.
Aye aye, sir. Course plotted and laid in.
Romulus?
I'm afraid the Opal Sea will have to wait, Number One. Engage.
Duty. A starship captain's life is filled with solemn duty. I have commanded men in battle. I have negotiated peace treaties between implacable enemies. I have represented the Federation in First Contact with twenty-seven alien species. But none of this compares with my solemn duty today... as best man. Now, I know on an occasion such as this, it is expected that I be gracious and fulsome in my praise on the wonders of this blessed union. But have the two of you considered what you are doing to me?! Of course, you're happy, but what about my needs? This is all a damned inconvenience. I mean, while you are happily settling in on the Titan, I will be training my new First Officer. You all know him. He's a tyrannical martinet who will never, ever allow me to go on away missions.
That is the regulation, sir. Starfleet Code Section 12, Paragraph Four...
Mr. Data?
Sir?
Shut up.
Yes, sir.
15 years I've been waiting to say that.
I'll show you my true nature. Our nature. And as Earth dies - remember I will always forever be Shinzon of Remus. And my voice shall echo through time long after yours has faded to a dim memory.
If there is one ideal that the Federation holds most dear it is that all men... all races can be united. What better example than a Starfleet captain standing in the Romulan Senate. Nothing would make me more proud than to take your hand in friendship... in time... when that trust has been earned.
Captain, I don't have to remind you--
I appreciate you concern, Number One. But, I have been itching to try the Argo.
I'll bet.
Captain's prerogative. There's no foreseeable danger. And your wife would never have forgiven me if anything would have happened to you. You have the bridge... Mister Troi!
[The bridge crew laughs heartily at Riker's momentary demotion to house husband.]
My life is meaningless as long as you're still alive. What am I while you exist? A shadow? An echo?
If your issues are about me, then deal with me. This has nothing to do with my ship-- nothing to do with the Federation.
Oh, but it does. We will no longer bow before anyone as slaves; not the Romulans, and not your mighty Federation. We are a race bred for war and conquest.
Senators, consider the opportunities for the Empire. At last, the destinies of the planets Romulus and Remus will be united. Shinzon of Remus is offering us a chance to make ourselves stronger than ever before. It would be madness to reject it. I beg you not to let prejudice or politics interfere with this alliance. By joining Shinzon's forces with ours, not even the mighty Federation will be able to stand in our way.
Praetor Hiren That's enough!
[first lines]
I will always be puzzled by the human predilection for piloting vehicles at unsafe velocities.
Kathryn Janeway The Son'a, the Borg, the Romulans-- you seem to get all the easy assignments.
Just lucky, Admiral.
Kathryn Janeway Let's hope that luck holds. Janeway out.
