First Contact Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Borg Queen: You think i such 3 dimensional terms. How small you've become. Data understands me. Don't you Data?

 

[Captain Mike]

PICARD: What have you done to him?

 

[LeadHead]

Borg Queen: Given him what he always wanted, flesh and blood.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Picard: Let him go. He's not the one you want.

 

[LeadHead]

Borg Queen: Are you offering yourself to us?

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Picard: Offering myself? ...That's it. I remember now. It wasn't enough that you assimilate me. I had to give myself freely to the Borg, ...to you.

 

[LeadHead]

Borg Queen: You flatter yourself! I've overseen the assimilation of countless millions, you were no different!

 

[CoveTom]

PICARD: You're lying. You wanted more than just another Borg drone. You wanted a human being with a mind of his own, who could bridge the gulf between humanity and the Borg. You wanted a counterpart, but I resisted. I fought you.

 

[LeadHead]

Borg Queen: You can't imagine the life you denied yourself.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Picard: 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 any resistance.

 

[Captain Mike]

BORG QUEEN: 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.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Picard: Data, go!

 

[Captain Mike]

DATA: NO. I do not wish to go.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Borg Queen: As you can see I have already found an equal. Data! Deactivate the self-destruct sequence.

 

[Captain Mike]

PICARD: Data, no don't do it! Data, listen to me.

 

[LeadHead]

Computer: Auto Destruct Sequence Deactivated.

 

[Captain Mike]

BORG QUEEN: Now enter the encryption codes and give me computer control.

 

[CoveTom]

PICARD: Data... Data!

 

[Leandar]

Data: He will make and excellent drone.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

LaForge: Plasma injectors are on-line. Everything's looking good. I think we're ready.
