Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 1: "The Next Generation" Quotes
Laris: First love is always the sweetest, isn’t it?
Picard: Well, she wasn’t the first, but she was certainly my favorite.
Laris: Jean-Luc, you don’t need to prove to me how ready you are for this. How in-the-present you are. The past matters and that’s okay.
Picard: Laris, these things from my past, they are so dear to me. They’re mementos of dear friends, old and new. But they’re memories.
The point comes in a man’s life when he looks to the past to define himself, not just his future.
Laris

Picard: I can’t ask you to put yourself in danger.
Riker: Since when?
Picard: I’m not sure about this plan.

Seven: Captain Shaw is catching up on some logs at the moment, but he’s requested your presence for dinner tonight.
Riker: Terrific.
Seven: If I were you, I’d lower my expectations.
Picard: I apologize, Captain, are we late?
Shaw: Hardly. It’s just your reputation preceded you so far into the room, that I started early.
Shaw: Captain Riker, I take you for somewhat of an urbanista.
Riker: I enjoy the occasional old fashioned. What gave you that idea?
Shaw: All the bebop that I had to purge from the system when I took the chair. Speaks to your free-wheeling, loosy-goosy, Kentucky mash kind of style.
