Can anyone remember when we used to be explorers?
Most scenes together: Jean-Luc Picard & Adhar Ru'afo (15), Worf & Adhar Ru'afo (6), Adhar Ru'afo & Admiral Matthew Dougherty (5)
Star Trek: Insurrection quotes
Page 3 of 4Captain, the Son'a crew want to negotiate a cease-fire. It may have something to do with the fact that we have 3 minutes of air left.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Definitely feeling aggressive tendencies, sir!
Federation support. Federation procedures. Federation rules. Look in the mirror, Admiral. The Federation is old. In the past 24 months, they've been challenged by every major power in the quadrant: the Borg, the Cardassians, the Dominion. They all smell the scent of death on the Federation. That's why you've embraced our offer. Because it will give your dear Federation new life. Well, how badly do you want it, admiral? Because there are hard choices to be made now. If the Enterprise gets the news to the Federation about their brave captain's valiant struggle on behalf of the defenseless Ba'ku, your Federation's politicians will waiver. Your Federation opinion polls will open a public debate. Your Federation allies will want their say. You-- need I go on?
How many people does it take before it becomes wrong? A thousand? Ten thousand? A million? How many people DOES IT TAKE, admiral?
I am not pleading for my life. I'm pleading for yours.
I'm going to miss these little flesh-stretching sessions of ours, my dear.
If Picard, or any of his crew interfere... eliminate them.
In six hours, every living thing in this system will be dead or dying.
Mr. Worf, destroy that thing.
Picard's first officer? You really believe he'll listen? My ships are powerful enough to intercept the Enterprise before it reaches the perimeter. I could send them to... escort it back. But Commander Riker might not want to come.
Ru'afo, we're getting too old for this.
Sorry. Time's up.
The Federation will never know what happened here.
