"Well, it looks like you got it right." "This is what we're using to replace the damaged plasma conduit." "Yes, but you need to reinforce the tubing with a nano-polymer." "Dr Cochrane, I know this sounds silly, but can I shake your hand?" "It's such an honour to work with you." "I never imagined I'd meet the man who invented warp drive." "I'm sorry ..." "Thanks." " Do they have to keep doing that?" " It's just a little hero worship." "I can't say I blame them." "We all grew up hearing about you." "Or, what you're about to do." "I shouldn't say this,   but I went to Zefram Cochrane High School." "Really?" "." " I wish I had a picture of this." " What?" "In the future, this whole area becomes an historical monument."

"We can't get to deflector control or a shuttle craft ..." "Mr Worf, do you remember your zero-G combat training?" "I remember it made me sick to my stomach." " What are you suggesting?" " It's time we took a little stroll." "There's a humanoid life-sign up ahead." "51 1 metres." "Cochrane?" "It's him, all right." "I've re-modulated the weapons, but the Borg will be quick to adapt." "We must make every shot count." "Magnetise." " Watch your caboose, Dix." " I intend to." " How are you doing, Worf?" " Not well, sir." "Try not to look at the stars." "Keep your eyes on the hull." "Let's go." "Tell me, are you using a polymer-based neuro-rely   to transmit organic nerve impulses to my positronic net?" "If so, how have you solved the problem of signal degradation?" "Do you always talk this much?" "Not always, but often." "Why do you insist on using this primitive language?" "Your android brain is capable of much more." "I am trying to become more human."

"Your goal is to obtain the codes for the computer." "That is one of our goals, one of many." "And to reach it, I'm willing to help you reach yours." "Is it becoming clear to you yet?" "Look at you, standing there cradling the new flesh I've given you." "If it means nothing to you, why protect it?" "I am simply imitating the behaviour of humans." "You're becoming more human all the time." "Now you're learning how to lie." "My programming was not designed to process these sensations." "Then tear away your skin as you would a defective circuit." "Go ahead, Data." "We won't stop you." "Do it." "Don't be tempted by flesh." "Are you familiar with physical forms of pleasure?" "If you are referring to ... sexuality, " " I am fully functional." "Programmed in multiple techniques." "How long has it been since you've used them?" "8 years, 7 months, 16 days, 4 minutes ..."

"You people have got some pretty funny ideas about me." "You all look at me as if I'm a saint or a visionary." "You're no saint, but you did have a vision." "We're sitting in it." "You want to know what my vision is?" "Dollar signs!" "Money!" "I didn't build this ship to usher in a new era for humanity." "You think I want to go to the stars?" "I don't even like to fly." "I take trains." "I built this ship so that I could retire to some tropical island,   filled with naked women." "That's Zefram Cochrane." "That's his vision." "This historical figure you keep talking about ..." "I never met him." "I can't imagine I ever will." "Someone once said: "Don't try to be a great man, just be a man."" " "Let history be the judge.""

" They're just afraid to say it." " The crew will follow my orders." " Even if they don't make sense?" " They don't know the Borg as I do." " No one does." "No one can." " What is that supposed to mean?" "Six years ago, they assimilated me into their collective." "I had the cybernetic devices implanted throughout my body." "I was linked to the hive, every trace of individuality erased." "I was one of them." "I have a unique perspective on Borg and I know how to fight them." "If you will excuse me, I have work to do." "I am such an idiot ..." "It's so simple." "The Borg hurt you, and now you're going to hurt them back." "In my century we have a higher sensibility than revenge." "Bullshit!" "I saw the look on your face when we were on the Holodeck." " You were enjoying it." " How dare you!" "You're not the first man to get a thrill from murdering someone." " Get out!" " Or what?" "You'll kill me?" " Like you killed Ensign Lynch?" " There was no way to save him." " Where was your sensibility then?" " I don't have time for this." "I didn't mean to interrupt your quest."

"When I was captured, my crew risked everything to save me." "There is someone still on this ship, and I owe him the same." "Go and find your friend." "What's wrong, Locutus?" "Isn't this familiar?" "." "Organic minds are such fragile things." "How could you forget me so quickly?" "." "We were very close, you and I." "You can still hear our song." "Yes ..." "I remember you." "You were there all the time." "But that ship and all the Borg on it were destroyed." "You think in such three-dimensional terms." "How small you've become." "Data understands me." " Don't you, Data?" " What have you done to him?" "Given him what he always wanted, flesh and blood." "Let him go." "He's not the one you want." " Are you offering yourself to us?" " Offering myself?" "That's it!" "I remember now." "It wasn't enough that you assimilated me." "I had to give myself freely to the Borg ... to you." "I've overseen the assimilation of millions." "You were no different." "You're lying." "You wanted more than just another Borg drone." "You wanted a human being, a bridge between humanity and the Borg." "You wanted a counterpart, but I resisted." "I fought you." "You can't begin to imagine the life you denied yourself." "It's not too late." "Locutus could still be with you, just in the way you wanted." "An equal." "Let Data go, and I will take my place at your side,   willingly, without resistance." "Such a noble creature." "A quality we sometimes lack." "We will add your distinctiveness to our own." "Welcome home, Locutus." "Data, you are free to go." " Data, go." " No." " I do not wish to go." " I have already found an equal." "Data, deactivate the self-destruct sequence." "Data, no!" "Don't do it!" "Data, listen to me ..." "Auto-destruct deactivated." "Now enter the encryption codes and give me computer control." "Data!" "Data ..." "He will make an excellent drone." "Plasma injectors on-line." "Everything is looking good." "I think we're ready." "We must break the warp barrier in the next five minutes to get their attention." " Main cells are charged and ready." " Let's do it." "Engage." "Warp field is looking good." "Structural integrity is holding." "Speed:" "20,000 kilometres per second." "Sweet Jesus!" "Relax, they're just here to give us a send off." "I am bringing the external sensors on-line." "30 seconds to warp threshold." " Approaching light speed." " We're at critical velocity." " Quantum torpedoes locked." " Destroy them." "Watch your future's end." " Data!" " Resistance is futile." "That should be enough." "Take us out of warp." " Is that Earth?" " That's it." " It's so small." " It's about to get a whole lot bigger." " Captain." " Data, are you all right?" "I would imagine I look worse than I ... feel." "Strange ..." "Part of me is sorry she is dead." "She was unique." "She brought me closer to humanity than I ever thought possible." "And for a time, I was tempted by her offer." "How long a time?" "0.68 seconds, sir." "For an android, that is nearly an eternity." "Captain's log, April 5th, 2063." "The voyage of the Phoenix was a success ... again." "The warp flight was detected,   and the alien ship is on its way to rendezvous with history." "My God!" "They're really from another world." "And they're going to want to meet the man who flew that warp ship." "Live long and prosper." "Thanks." "I think it's time we made a discreet exit." "Stand by to beam us up." "You've got to go." "I envy you." "The world you're going to." "I envy you." "Taking these first steps into a new frontier." "I shall miss you, Lily." "Picard to Enterprise, energise." "The moon obscured our presence." "The Vulcans did not detect us." "I've reconfigured the chronometric readings from the Borg sphere." " All decks report ready." " Helm standing by." "Lay in a course for the 24th century." "Our future is waiting for us." " Course laid in, sir." " Make it so."
