"I, Borg" Line-bye-Line

[Enterprise1981]

CRUSHER: How convenient.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Your point, Doctor?

 

[Enterprise1981]

CRUSHER: When I look at my patient, I don't see a collective consciousness. I don't see a hive. I see a living, breathing boy who's been hurt and who needs our help. And we're talking about sending him back to his people as an instrument of destruction.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: It comes down to this, we're faced with an enemy determined to destroy us and we have no hope of negotiating a peace. Unless that changes, we are justified in doing anything we can to survive.

 

[Leandar]

Security: Security to Captain.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Picard here.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SECURITY: The Borg has regained consciousness, sir.

 

[Orac]

Picard: Acknowledged. We proceed with the plan.

 

[Athena28]

[Brig]

CRUSHER: What's he doing?

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: He's trying to find an access terminal so he can interface with the collective. He doesn't understand that the signal has been cut off.

 

[Athena28]

LAFORGE: He's emitting a homing signal and a second subspace beacon, but our damping field is blocking both signals.

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: He's alone. For the first time he's being forced to cope with his environment without the resources of the Collective.

 

[Athena28]

CRUSHER: He must be hungry. The Borg don't ingest food. Their implants can synthesize any organic molecules the biological tissues require. What they need is energy.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Arrange to feed it.

Picard leaves

 

[Orac]

La Forge: Aye, sir. I'll have to adapt a power conduit and install it in there.

 

[LeadHead]

Crusher: If I didn't know better, I'd think he was scared.

 

[Orac]

[Jim]

(Picard is fencing and beating an opponent who turns out to be - )

Guinan: I don't think I like this sport.

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: Last week when you scored two touches, you liked it well enough. Today you were dropping your foil. You kept letting me inside.

 

[LeadHead]

Guinan: Ah, but if I lift up, you lunge right underneath. Lets face it, You're just better at this than I am. I understand we have a guest on board.

 

[Athena28]

PICARD: Yes.
