Scenes with Dr. Tolian Soran
7 scenes Tolian Soran They say time is the fire in which we burn. Right now, Captain, my time is running out. We leave so many things unfinished in our lives. [softly] I know you understand.
Tolian Soran Have you ever considered a prosthesis that would make you look a little more... how can I say... more normal?
What's normal?
Tolian Soran What's normal? Well, that's a good question. Normal is what everyone else is and you are not.
Tolian Soran Welcome, Captain. You must think I'm quite the madman, hmm?
The thought had crossed my mind.
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.
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?
The nexus?
Tolian Soran Time has no meaning there. The predator has no teeth.
Tolian Soran Now, you'll have to excuse me, Captain. I have an appointment with eternity, and I don't want to be late.
Tolian Soran Just who the hell are you?
He's James T. Kirk. Don't you read history?
Tolian Soran [to Kirk]
Actually, I am familiar with history, Captain, and if I'm not too much mistaken, you're dead.
