Borg queen: Captured on purpose. Clever little plan. I do miss Locutus.
Jurati: I'm a hundred percent sure he doesn't miss you.

Tallinn: Truth is I've been protecting Renée from afar for twenty-four years. I may have lost my touch a little when it comes to engaging with humans.
Picard: You've never spoken to her in all those years?
Tallinn: It's not just a rule. It's a code we live by. No connection. I'm a ghost. It's the best way to keep her safe.

Borg queen: Who are we tonight, Agnes? I like it.
Jurati: There is no 'we.'
Borg queen: I believe that's the proper pronoun for when one shares one's body with one's new friend.
Jurati: We are not sharing. You are a houseguest. It's just until I can figure out what to do with you.

Raffi: Who is this? This whole ... thing here. This ... glow. It's like you're ... happy.
Rios: I'm just making the best of things.
Raffi: M-hm. Well, I know you, so I find that alarming.

Rios: Someone's enjoying themselves.
Raffi: Mm-hm. There's a lot of baggage with those Borg implants. It's kind of nice to see her travel light for a while.

Adam: I believe we have a friend in common. A Mr. Q.
Picard: He's not a friend.
Adam: That's what he said about you.

Jurati: You can't push me like that.
Borg queen: I'm trying to get you to understand that good things happen when you lose control.

It worked. Oh, I am proud of you, Agnes. Thank you for the flood of endorphins, by the way. Those nasty little stress hormones were getting in my way.

Picard: Sometimes, those who shine the brightest feel the sting of fear and melancholy in ways that others can never understand.
Renée: You're talking like you know me.

Renée: Sometimes, fear is a friendly reminder you're not ready for something.
Picard: No! Fear is fear. It doesn't speak in riddles. Fear means you're smart. You understand the risks.

Dr. Theresa: Does he have any conditions?
Seven: He's had some transplants.
Dr. Theresa: Some? How many?
Raffi: All of them.

Adam: All my life, all my life, I've invented. Machines, medicine, I knew I could bend the rules, take the risks.
Kore: Were you driving? Do I need to call someone?
Adam: I poured my heart into you. I let myself believe you were the one, you'd make it. And now, after everything I did, realize what I'm capable of doing, I still failed. I'm still going to lose you. My life's work.
