{{quote| '''Lily''': I am such an idiot. It's so simple. The Borg hurt you and now you're gonna hurt them back.<br />

'''Picard''': In my century we don't succumb to revenge. We have a more evolved sensibility.<br />

'''Lily''': [[Precision F-Strike|Bullshit]]! I saw the look your face when you shot those Borg on the Holodeck. You were almost enjoying it!<br />

'''Picard''': How dare you?<br />

'''Lily''': Oh, come on, Captain. You're not the first man to get a thrill out of murdering someone! I see it all the time!<br />

'''Picard''': GET OUT!<br />

'''Lily''': Or what? You'll kill me? Like you killed Ensign Lynch?<br />

'''Picard''': ...There was no way to save him.<br />

'''Lily''': You didn't even try! Where was your evolved sensibility then?<br />

'''Picard''': [[Blatant Lies|This is not about revenge]].<br />

'''Lily''': Liar!<br />

'''Picard''': This is about saving the future of humanity!<br />

'''Lily''': Jean-Luc, '''blow up the damn ship'''!<br />

{{quote| '''Picard''': I will not sacifice the ''Enterprise''. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. '''The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!''' [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|And I will make them pay for what they've done!]]}}

{{quote| '''Picard:''' ''(softly, to himself)'' "[[Moby Dick|And he piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon he would have shot his heart upon it.]]"}}
