[Leandar]

Picard: On screen.

 

[LeadHead]

Shinzon: Captain, will you join me in your Ready Room? (Picard enters Ready Room) You can't trace my holographic emitters Captain, so don't bother. And you can't contact Starfleet. It's just the two of us now... as it should be.

 

[Leandar]

Picard: Why are you here?

 

[LeadHead]

Shinzon: To accept your surrender. I can clearly destroy you at any time. Lower your shields and I'll allow you to transport to my ship.

 

[Leandar]

Picard: And the Enterprise?

 

[LeadHead]

Shinzon: I have little interest in your quaint vessel, Captain.

 

[Leandar]

Picard: Look at me, Shinzon. ...Your heart, your hands, your eyes are the same as mine. The blood pumping within you, the raw material is the same. We have the same potential.

 

[LeadHead]

Shinzon: That's the past Captain.

 

[Leandar]

Picard: It can be the future. Buried deep within you, beneath all the years of pain and anger there is there is something that has never been nurtured. The potential to make yourself a better man, and that is what it is to be human. To make yourself more than you are. ...Oh yes, I know you. ...There was a time you looked at the stars and dreamed of what might be.

 

[LeadHead]

Shinzon: Childish Dreams Captain. Lost in the Dilithium mines of Remus. I am what you see now.

 

[Rush Limborg]

Picard: I see more than that--I see what you could be.

The man who is Shinzon of Remus and Jean-Luc Picard--could never order the extermination of an entire planet. He's better than that!

 

[ChristopherPike]

Shinzon: "He is what his life has made him."

 

[Leandar]

Picard: And what will he do with that life? Waste it in a blaze of hatred? There is a better way.
