Data
[After Captain Picard of the Enterprise asks if anyone objects the violation of their orders ]

To hell with our orders.

Data
[Lily empties an entire clip of bullets into Data after he jumps down the silo and lands in front of her.]

Greetings.

Data
[After going in the wake of the Borg Sphere's time-travel gate, the Enterprise crew sees a radically different Earth]

Earth, population nine billion...All Borg.

Lieutenant Hawk, set a course for Earth. Maximum warp.

Sean Hawk

Aye, sir.

[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.

Data

Captain, I believe I speak for everyone here, sir, when I say...to Hell with our orders.

Red alert. All hands to battle stations. Engage.

Data
[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 --

[interrupting Data]

Data, I'm sure it's a fascinating experience, but perhaps you should deactivate your emotion chip for now.

Data

Excellent idea [makes a move with his head, eliciting a beep] Done, sir.

Data, there are times when I envy you.

Data

Your efforts to break the encryption codes will not be successful. Nor will your attempts to assimilate me into your collective.

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.

You are an imperfect being created by an imperfect being. Finding your weakness is only a matter of time.

Destroy them.

[Data pauses, then presses a button on a control panel, firing three quantum torpedoes at the Phoenix]

Watch your future's end.

[suspense builds as the torpedoes move towards the Phoenix, but the torpedoes just miss the small warp ship] [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

She brought me closer to humanity than I ever thought possible, and for a time...I was tempted by her offer.

How long a time?

Data

Zero point six eight seconds, sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity.
