Data: Believing oneself to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind.

 

[Leandar]

Borg Queen: Small words, from a small being, trying to attack what he doesn't understand.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: I understand that you have no real interest in me, that your goal is to obtain the encryption codes to the Enterprise computer.

 

[Leandar]

Borg Queen: That is one of our goals, one of many. But in order to reach it I am willing to help you reach yours.

Is it becoming clear to you yet? Look at yourself, standing there cradling the new flesh that I've given you. If it means nothing to you, why protect it?

 

[Captain Mike]

DATA: AAAAUUUUH!!

 

[LeadHead]

Data: I am simply mimcking the behavior of humans.

 

[Leandar]

Borg Queen: You're becoming more human all the time. Now you're learning how to lie.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: My Programming was not designed to process these senseations.

 

[Leandar]

Borg Queen: Then tear the skin from your limbs 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?

 

[LeadHead]

Data: If you are referring to sexuality.... I am.... fully functional.... Programmed in... multiple techniques.

 

[Leandar]

Borg Queen: How long has it been since you've used them?

Borg Queen: Far too long.

 

[LeadHead]

Worf: We should bring reinforcements.

 

[Leandar]

Picard: There's no time. It looks as if they're building the beacon right on top of the particle emitter. Once all the transponder rods are in place the beacon will be activated.

 

[LeadHead]

Hawk: But if we set our phasers to full power...

 

[Leandar]

Picard: No! There's a risk that we hit the dish. It's charged with anti-protons. We could destroy half the ship. We have to find another way.

 

[LeadHead]

La Forge: Still looking for the bathroom?

 

[Captain Mike]

DATA: AAAAUUUUH!!

BORG QUEEN: Is it becoming clear to you yet? Look at yourself, standing there cradling the new flesh I have given you. If it means nothing to you why protect it?

Data: I am simply mimcking the behavior of humans.
