- Jean-Luc Picard: What you're doing is good, Hugh. There's no need for it to be perfect. After all these years, you're showing what the Borg are underneath. They're victims, not monsters.
- Hugh: Still, we remain the most hated people in the galaxy. Just as helpless, and enslaved as before. Only now, our queen is a Romulan.
- Jean-Luc Picard: Elnor, I will not leave you behind again!
- Elnor: It fills me with joy to hear you say that.
- Jean-Luc Picard: This thing here can take us to a safer place.
- Elnor: I'll stay behind and cover your escape. My blade is pledged to defend you.
- Jean-Luc Picard: Then I release you of the pledge.
- Elnor: I decline to be released.
- Hugh: Welcome to the Borg Reclamation Project. I don't know what you're doing here, but I'll help you any way I can.
- Jean-Luc Picard: Oh, I'll take a friendly face.
- Soji: Do you know me?
- Jean-Luc Picard: My name is Jean-Luc Picard. I'm a friend of... a friend of your father's. And your sister came to see me, wanting my help, but I couldn't help her. Please, Soji, let me help you.
- Narek: The key to opening the tan zhekran is taking the time to understand what's keeping it closed.
