[Frontier]

Picard: "I don't have time for this."

 

[LeadHead]

[CoveTom]

PICARD: What?

[Randor]

LILY: Jean-Luc Blow up the damn ship!

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: NO! NOOOOO!!!!!! (Smashes Phaser Rifle into display) I will not sacrifice 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 and No Farther! And I WILL MAKE THEM PAY FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE!!

 

[Brian]

LILY: You broke your little ships... See you around, Ahab.
