Riker: Not a fan of jazz.
Shaw: No, I am not. I like structure. I like meter. I like keeping tempo and time, which is why you will probably find this inspection boring for the likes of you two.

Picard: Ensuring the condition of our starships would be boring?
Shaw: Well, we won’t be blowing things up. Taking or engaging in fire. Crash-landing expectedly or unexpectedly. Y’know, the usual for you boys.

I have kept this train running for five years, thirty-six missions. You don’t get where you’re told to go by standing in front of it and then moving the track.

Shaw

I’m really sorry, fellas. I love you, I do. I love reading about all your wildly exciting... and equally irresponsible... adventures, but I have orders from actual officers whose paygrade are far above all of ours.

Shaw

You have no idea how hard it is to be in this world.

Raffi

Terrific. Your hands are stiff. My knees are killing me. So long as we don’t have to move or shoot, we should be fine.

Riker

Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 1 Quotes

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.

Laris: First love is always the sweetest, isn’t it?
Picard: Well, she wasn’t the first, but she was certainly my favorite.
