Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 3: "Assimilation" Quotes
This is the only kind of life you understand. Shall we see what else has been lost in the wake of your fear?
Q
Move backward to go forward. Shatter to mend. The past is now.
Borg queen
Rios: I've regained 37% nav control.
Picard: Is that enough to land?
Rios: More like a targetted crash.
So, to be clear, wake a queen that could kill us all, beam from a ship with no power, and find a Watcher who may or may not exist.
Rios
Jurati: It's only a partial assimilation.
Picard: Halfway to hell is still not a recommended destination.
My conscious mind will be inside, working to fix her. My subconscious -- my fear, my emotion, everything the Borg have no use for -- will stay here with you. So, y'know, 'sorry' ahead of time.
Jurati
Seven: Seriously? We just got here, and you're already making friends.
Raffi: Well, I don't see you contributing to the apocalypse fund. Plus, he started it. Wonderful ambassador, up against a backdrop of Hope meets hopelessness. You're killing it, 2024.
You know, I've never been able to understand how a society could exist with so many contradictions and not collapse sooner than it did.
Raffi
Picard: Agnes, can you hear me?
Jurati: Picard. So many warm feelings. Admiration, respect. Sometimes I want to disobey you just for spite, but that's cause I wish you were my dad.
Picard: I see we're diving into the deep end.
So alone. And sometimes, it's just too much, too heavy, to push through. And then a thought occurs. I could just stop trying. Lie down. Stop fighting. Let it take me. Like sleeping to death.
Jurati
Seven: Strangers don't usually like me.
Raffi: You and 2024 should get a room.
You won't deactivate me because you've a deeply flawed inability not to hope in the face of hopelessness. I hold information you need. You, against all odds, hope I'll relent, therefore you won't deactivate me. With each passing second the mathematical probability that I get your ship grows. In the end, you'll sacrifice your lives for the future of the many, so, in the interests of efficiency, shall we just ... fast-forward?
