The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves, and the rest of humanity. Actually, we're rather like yourself and Dr. Cochrane.

We finished our first sensor sweep of the Neutral Zone.
Jean-Luc Picard Oh, fascinating. 20 particles of space dust per cubic meter, 52 ultraviolet radiation spikes, and a Class II comet. (sarcastically) Well, this is certainly worthy of our attention.
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.
Captain, I believe I speak for everyone here, sir, when I say...to Hell with our orders.
Jean-Luc Picard Red alert. All hands to battle stations. Engage.
I have a patient here who insists on coming to the bridge.
Jean-Luc Picard Welcome aboard the Enterprise E, Mr. Worf.
Thank you, sir. The Defiant?.
Jean-Luc Picard Adrift, but salvageable.
Tough little ship.
Jean-Luc Picard Mr. Worf, we could use some help at Tactical.
[when Worf takes control of Tactical, Riker approaches him]
You do remember how to fire phasers?
[as he sees Worf indignant, he walks away smiling]
[While Picard and Data are conducting an assault team in order to re-take the Enterprise-E from the Borg]
Captain, I believe I am feeling... anxiety. It is an intriguing sensation. A most distracting --
Jean-Luc Picard [interrupting Data]
Data, I'm sure it's a fascinating experience, but perhaps you should deactivate your emotion chip for now.
Excellent idea [makes a move with his head, eliciting a beep] Done, sir.
Jean-Luc Picard Data, there are times when I envy you.
Jean-Luc Picard Good, they haven't broken the encryption codes yet.
Lily Sloane Who? Those bionic zombies you told me about, the--
Jean-Luc Picard Borg.
Lily Sloane Borg? Sounds Swedish.
. . .
Liliy Sloane
[after seeing Borg drones for the first time]
Definitely not Swedish.
Jean-Luc Picard Mr. Worf, do you remember your zero-G combat training?
I remember it made me sick to my stomach. [crestfallen] What are you suggesting?
Jean-Luc Picard I think it's time that we took a little stroll.
With all due respect, sir, I believe you are allowing your experience with the Borg to influence your judgement.
Jean-Luc Picard You're afraid. You want to destroy the ship and run away. You coward.
Jean-Luc!
If you were any other man, I would kill you where you stand.
Jean-Luc Picard Get off my bridge!
Lily Sloane Oh, excuse me! I didn't mean to interrupt your little quest! Captain Ahab has to go hunt his whale.
Jean-Luc Picard What did you say?
Lily Sloane What? You don't have books in the 24th century?
Jean-Luc Picard This is not about revenge!
Lily Sloane Liar!
Jean-Luc Picard This is about saving the future of humanity!
Lily Sloane Jean-Luc, blow up the damn ship!
Jean-Luc Picard NO! Nooooooooo! [smashes a display case in anger] [both pause, shocked]
Jean-Luc Picard I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far and no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!
Lily Sloane [looking at the broken remains of the Enterprise-D model]
You broke your little ships. [pause] See you around, Ahab.
Jean-Luc Picard [softly, to himself]
"And he piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon he would have shot his heart upon it."
Lily Sloane What?
Jean-Luc Picard Moby Dick.
Lily Sloane Actually, I never read it.
Jean-Luc Picard Ahab spent years hunting the white whale that crippled him; but in the end, it destroyed him and his ship.
Lily Sloane I guess he didn't know when to quit.

Computer Self-destruct in 15 minutes. There will be no further audio warnings.
So much for the Enterprise E.
Jean-Luc Picard We barely knew her.
You think they'll build another one?
Jean-Luc Picard Plenty of letters left in the alphabet.
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?
Zero point six eight seconds, sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity.
Helm standing by.
Jean-Luc Picard Mr. Data, lay in a course for the 24th century. I suspect our future is there waiting for us.
Course laid in, sir.
Jean-Luc Picard Make it so.
