Hanson: "This is the third time we've pulled out the captain's chair for Riker. He just won't sit down."

Data: "Early bird [gets the worm]? I believe Commander Shelby erred. There is no evidence of avian or crawling vermicular lifeforms on Jure IV."

Shelby: "Data was available. I took him, we came."

Shelby: "There's no doubt anymore. It is the Borg."

LaForge: "Wesley, you may get straight 'A's in school, but there's a lot you need to learn about poker."

Picard: "Will, what the hell are you still doing here?"
-- "The Best of Both Worlds", Stardate 43989.1

Picard: "Will, you're ready to work without a net. You're ready to take command. And you know, the Enterprise will go on just fine without you."

Picard: "Mister Worf, dispatch a subspace message to Admiral Hanson...'We have engaged...the Borg.'"

Shelby: "All you know how to do is play it safe."

LaForge: "Move it people, let's move it!"

Picard: "It's a bit of a tradition, Guinan, for the captain to tour the ship before a battle."
Guinan: "Before a *hopeless* battle, if I remember the tradition correctly."
Picard: "Not necessarily. Nelson toured the H.M.S. Victory before Trafalgar."
Guinan: "But Nelson never returned from Trafalgar, did he?"
Picard: "Ah, but the *battle* was won."

Beverly: "Jean-Luc..."

Shelby: "We were unable to retrieve him, sir. The captain has been altered by the Borg."
Riker: "'Altered'?"
Worf: "He *is* a Borg!"

Beverly: "Will, he's alive. If we could get him back to the ship, I might be able to restore--"
Riker: "This is our only chance to destroy them. If they get back into warp, our weapon is useless."
