Star Trek: Picard
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 1: "The Star Gazer" Quotes
Cheers, Big Ears.
Picard
Y'know, as days on Earth go, this is reliably one of my favorites.
Picard
Picard: Seize today for we know nothing of tomorrow.
Laris: Today is glorious. And none of our tomorrows are guaranteed.
Remember that Romulans don't suffer loss as humans do. We love deeply and then we honor that love by loving again. Even more deeply still.
Laris
When I first came to work here, I saw you as a man who chose the stars. And after all this time, I've come to wonder, have you been seeking or running?
Laris
Picard: The part of me that really wants is the part that has to wait in line.
Laris: Behind what?
Picard: Duty, I suppose. The need to keep on moving.
Jean-Luc: Will you fight less here?
Maman: Of course, we will. But if we should shout at each other now and then, I want you to look up and imagine how tiny our voices are out there. So tiny you can't even hear them. Look up at the stars, Jean-Luc. Look up.
Picard: Nothing has to change.
Laris: It's too late for that, Jean-Luc. That's been clear to both of us for some time now, I imagine. Going forward, it would all be too... awkward. And I'm too old for awkward.
We often refer to space as the final frontier. But the older I get, the more I've come to believe that the true final frontier is time. In command, as in life, what we do in crisis often weighs upon us less heavily than what we wish we had done. What could have been. Time offers many opportunities but it rarely offers second chances.
Picard
I'm half in the bag anyway so I'm going to give you a little advice. My longest-lasting intimate relationship including the one that I just ended is less than a year. I was recently cleared of murdering my previous boyfriend due to alien-induced temporary insanity so I'm not exactly dating material. Y'know?
Jurati
Soji: I know, I heard. Rios called, you're going. I'm staying here to continue being charmingly diplomatic.
Jurati: If by heard, you mean you eavesdropped on my private coms link using your super robot hearing...
Soji: Well, you did ask me to monitor you for any potential drunk hailing incidents, so I extended the caution to drunk answering.
Jurati: I feel like that's an exploitation of a technicality.
Raffi: You know Seven, there's always folks out there in trouble. What kind of asshole needs to be more important than that?
Picard: You would like to be. To her.
