Narek: Beautiful. No one's ever said that before about a Borg cube.
Soji: This isn't a Borg cube, Narek. It's The Artifact. Borg cube is mighty and omnipotent. The Artifact is lost. Severed from the Collective. Broken. Vulnerable.

Doctor Benayoun: You really want to go back out into the cold? Knowing?
Picard: More than ever. Knowing.
Doctor Benayoun: I don't know what kind of trouble you're planning to get into. Maybe if you're lucky, it will kill you first.

I never really cared for science fiction. I guess I just didn't get it.
Picard
