Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Picard Season 1 Episode 9: "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 1" Quotes
Seven: Keep saving the galaxy, Picard.
Picard: That's all on you now.
They're just lines but they imply so much more. Grief. Endurance. Marvelous.
Arcana
Soong: I take it my face looks familiar.
Picard: I feel as if I am looking at Data.
Soong: Data if he had gotten old and gone soft. Must be disturbing. I know it is for me.
Dr. Alton Inigo Soong. Mad scientist. My father had me but he created Data. A fact he never let me forget.

Life begins. The dance of division and replication. Imperfect, finite. Organic life evolves, yearns for perfection. That yearning leads to synthetic life. But organics perceive this perfection as a threat. When they realize their creations do not age, or become sick, or die, they will seek to destroy them and, in so doing, destroy themselves. Beyond the boundaries of time and space, we stand, an alliance of synthetic life, watching you, waiting for your signal. Summon us and we will come. You will have our protection. Your evolution will be their extinction.
The Admonition
What you did... Shame on you, Agness. You put out a small, bright candle, shedding its light in a vast darkness. You owe a great debt.
Soong

Raffi: Uh, thanks. Um, what is this?

Raffi: I love you, J.L. Oh, you don't have to say it back to me.
Picard: I don't?
Raffi: Not unless you want to. Sorry, yeah, that's fine. It's fine.
Picard: Okay... I love you too, Raffi.
Narek: I'm thirsty. Is this how you treat your prisoners?
Saga: We've never had a prisoner before. How do the Romulans treat their prisoners?
Narek: Let's change the subject.
Soji: I guess I'm just trying to understand the logic of sacrifice.
Picard: The logic of sacrifice? I don't like the sound of that.
Soji: So you think there is no logic? No calculus of life and death?
Picard: I think it depends if you're the person holding the knife.
Maybe all rationales for killing just boil down to fear, the opposite of logic.
Soji
I was afraid my desire to kill you would outweigh my immediate need of your services. But look! It can definitely wait.
