Star Trek: Picard
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 5: "Fly Me To The Moon" Quotes
Like others in my profession, I have a singular purpose. I have devoted my entire being to protecting one individual, a single string in a grand tapestry to which I'm not privy.
Tallinn
Alone, but not lonely. Silence so loud. Voices carried everywhere on invisible strings.
Borg queen
Seven: I get it. You're angry. About Elnor. About Gabe.
Raffi: Don't.
Seven: I know you. You need a target. Want to set your feet and fight.
Raffi: And all you want to do is run away.
Seven: That's right. Because something that's not moving is vulnerable.
This is a very bumpy century, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

To understand the true potential of the human genome is to envision a future free from disease. Imagine, if you will, I am a god. And as I look down at humanity, I see them at a crossroads. Will they evolve toward enlightenment? Or will there be a divergence into darkness?
Adam Soong
If I could encapsulate all the knowledge I've gained through the years from life experience and careful study into a single pearl of wisdom for you, it would be this. People are idiots.

Adam Soong: You have any idea how many crackpots contact me about my work? I get everything from basement-dwelling Nazis to rich heiresses who want me to clone their fucking cats. Let me be clear. That's not what I do. So don't waste my time.
Q: Oh, I wouldn't think of it. Seems I have taken Time for granted of late and now she's threatening to abandon me.
Adam Soong: See? Right there. Crackpot talk.
Adam Soong: You know I'll kill you if I think you're a threat.
Q: Yes, and that's what I like about you.
Adam Soong: Who the hell are you?
Q: I am the evolution of stardust. I'm the gentle flutter of a butterfly. I am Death, Destroyer of Worlds. And I'm also a big fan of your work and a visionary who knows how important you are to the future of this planet.
Q: What a sad, sad irony. A geneticist whose daughter has an incurable genetic disease? Sunlight burns like fire? Air turns to acid?
Adam Soong: Nothing, nothing is incurable.
Q: Well, you have neither the time nor the funding to prove that theory.
Tallinn: I think you're mistaking me for someone who takes orders from you.
Picard: I know you've protected her for twenty-four years, but you need to be strategic about this. We need to help each other. We're stronger together.
Jurati: What did you do?
Borg queen: I'm helping you.
Jurati: Bullshit.
Borg queen: All right. I'm helping us.
