 Patrick Stewart Quotation(Discussing whether or not he is typecast by audiences as Jean-Luc Picard): I think perhaps when I first walk in front of the camera they'll say, "Aha, there, ah, yeah, Jean-Luc, we recognize him despite that charming little mustache." I believe that audiences are really smart enough to let go of that pretty quickly, but that's also my job as an actor to persuade them that, you know, Jean-Luc Picard is left behind and this is someone entirely different... I mean, I'm an actor dedicated to transforming myself and to creating original pieces of work, and I will not accept that my life is going to be forever connected to Jean-Luc Picard in the roles that I play. On the other hand, I'm absolutely delighted that he's still in my life. Actually, I think my appearance in The Simpsons and an appearance that I did on Sesame Street - in praise of the letter B - were perhaps the two most distinguished bits of work that I've done in the United States. (Discussing his love for Beavis & Butthead): Oh, yes, my passion for them remains the same... I think it's one of the most original and brilliant pieces of television that we've seen in recent years. The dialogue is delightful. I simply sit and giggle and laugh all the time. (On preparing for the role of Professor X in the film X-Men) I read a lot of comic books. "I was brought up in a very poor and very violent household. I spent much of my childhood being afraid." Movie Title: Masterminds (1997) as Raif Bentley: Raif Bentley : You know, I'm not a violent man but I really do think I'm going to have to kill someone here. Raif Bentley : [After attacking Helen's Jeep] Such a violent society you live in today, Claire. Sad really. Maloney : I hope they fry you, Bentley! Raif Bentley : [While dancing] Oh, I'll be frying, Claire, under the hot tropical sun! Movie Title: Star Trek: The Next Generation - Encounter at Farpoint (1987) as Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Captain Jean-Luc Picard : If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are. Movie Title: Death Train (1993) as Malcolm Philpott: Malcolm Philpott : We're in a state of martial law here. And *I'm* the Marshall. Malcolm Philpott : Michael, you can't call me "Phil" in this group. Mike Graham : So what should I call you. Malcom Philpott: "Sir" would be appropriate. Malcolm Philpott : Let's not let failure go to our heads. Malcolm Philpott : Sigi - there's a lot of poetry and sentiment in a cup of tea. Sigi : I hope there's also a lot of caffeine. Movie Title: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Emissary (1993) as Capt. Picard / Locutus of Borg: Locutus of Borg : If you attempt to intervene, we will destroy you. Vulcan Captain : Red alert. Load all torpedo bays, ready phasers. Capt. Picard : Have we met before? Commander Benjamin Sisko : Yes sir, we met in battle. I was on the Saratoga at Wolf 359. [Discussing Bajor's possible membership in the Federation] Commander Benjamin Sisko : Sounds like they're not ready. Capt. Picard : Your job, short of violating the Prime Directive, is to make sure that they are. Movie Title: L.A. Story (1991) as Mr. Perdue, Maitre D' at L'Idiot: Mr. Perdue, Maitre D' at L'Idiot : Your usual table, Mr. Christopher? Carlo Christopher : No, I'd like a good one this time. Mr. Perdue, Maitre D' at L'Idiot : I'm sorry, that is impossible. Carlo Christopher : Part of the new cruelty? Mr. Perdue, Maitre D' at L'Idiot : I'm afraid so. Movie Title: The Prince of Egypt (1998) as Seti: Seti : Sometimes, for the greater good, sacrifices must be made. Movie Title: Star Trek: First Contact (1996) as Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Cmdr. William Riker : We finished our first sensor sweep of the neutral zone. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Oh, fascinating. Twenty particles of space dust per cubic meter, 52 ultraviolet radiation spikes, and a class-2 comet. Well, this is certainly worthy of our attention. [Quoting "Moby Dick."] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it. Lily Sloane : Jean Luc, blow up the damn ship! Captain Jean-Luc Picard : No! Noooooooooo! [Smashes glass and model ships with his phaser] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. Weve made too many compromises already; too mny 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, no further! And *I* will make them pay for what they've done. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Reports of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated. [Data is feeling anxiety as they approach the Borg] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I suggest you deactivate your emotion chip for now. Lieutenant Commander Data : [click] Done. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Data, there are times when I envy you. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : We are not going to lose the Enterprise. Not to the Borg. Not while I'm in command. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mr. Worf, do you remember your zero g combat training? Lt. Commander Worf : I remember how it made me sick to my stomach. Lieutenant Commander Data : And for a time, I was tempted by her offer. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : How long a time? Lieutenant Commander Data : 0.68 seconds sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You want to destroy the ship and run away, you coward. Lt. Commander Worf : If you were any other man, I would kill you where you stand. Cmdr. William Riker : Captain, why we are we out here chasing comets? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Let's just say Starfleet has every confidence in the Enterprise and her crew - they're just not sure about her Captain. They believe that a man who was once captured and assimilated by the Borg should not be put in a situation where he would face them again. To do so would introduce "an unstable element to a critical situation." Cmdr. William Riker : That's ridiculous. Your experience with the Borg makes you the perfect man to lead this fight. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Admiral Hayes disagrees. Lt. Commander Worf : The Defiant? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Adrift but salvageable. Cmdr. William Riker : Tough little ship. Lt. Commander Worf : Little? [Picard puts his hand on The Phoenix] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : It's a boyhood fantasy... I must have seen this ship hundreds of times in the Smithsonian but I was never able to touch it. Lieutenant Commander Data : Sir, does tactile contact alter your perception of The Phoenix? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Oh, yes! For humans, touch can connect you to an object in a very personal way, make it seem more real. [Data also puts his hand on The Phoenix] Lieutenant Commander Data : I am detecting imperfections in the titanium casing... temperature variations in the fuel manifold... it is no more "real" to me now than it was a moment ago. Cmdr. Deanna Troi : [Observing from a catwalk] Would you three like to be alone? [Picard takes the phaser from Lily, and inspects it] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Maximum setting! If you had fired, you'd have vaporized me. Lily Sloane : [sheepish] It's my first ray gun. Lily Sloane : [threatening with a phaser] You want to help me? Get me out of here! Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Alright. You want a way out? Here it is. [Picard opens window, revealing the Earth far, far below] Lily Sloane : What is this? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Australia. New Guinea. Solomon Islands. Montana will be up soon, but you may want to hold your breath - it's a long way down! [Lily berates Picard, alone in his office] Lily Sloane : You son of a bitch! Captain Jean-Luc Picard : This really isn't the time. Lily Sloane : Okay, I don't know jack about the 24th century - but everybody here thinks staying here and fighting the Borg is suicide. They're just afraid to come in here and say it. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The crew is accustomed to following my orders. Lily Sloane : They're probably used to your orders making SENSE. [Picard has told Lily about his enslavement by the Borg] Lily Sloane : I am such an idiot. It's so simple. The Borg HURT you, and now you're going to HURT them back! Captain Jean-Luc Picard : In my century, we don't succumb to revenge. We have a more evolved sensibility... Lily Sloane : BULLSHIT! I saw the look your face when you shot those Borg on the Holodeck. You were almost ENJOYING it. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : How dare you... Lily Sloane : Oh, come on, Captain. You're not the first man to get a thrill out of murdering someone! I see it all the time! Captain Jean-Luc Picard : GET OUT! Lily Sloane : Or what? You'll kill me, like you killed Ensign Lynch? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : There was no way to save him. Lily Sloane : You didn't even try! Where were your 'evolved sensibilities' then? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mr. Worf... I regret some of the things I said to you earlier. Lt. Commander Worf : Some? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : In fact, I think you're the bravest man I have ever known. [Picard asks to exchange Data for himself] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Let him go. He's not the one you want. Borg Queen : Are you offering yourself to us? Captain Jean-Luc 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! Borg Queen : You flatter yourself! I've overseen the assimilition of countless millions. You were no different! Captain Jean-Luc 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. Borg Queen : You can't begin to imagine the life you denied yourself. Lily Sloane : You gotta go? [Picard nods "Yes"] Lily Sloane : I envy you... the world you're going to. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I envy YOU... taking these first steps into a new frontier. I shall miss you, Lily. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I'm about to commit a direct violation of our orders. If anyone wishes to object do so now, I will make a note of it in my log. Data : Sir, I think I speak for everyone when I say: To hell with our orders. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I've accessed a Borg neuroprocessor and I've discovered what they're trying to do. They're transforming the deflector dish into an interplexing beacon. Lieutenant Hawk : "Interplexing"? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : It's a subspace transmitter. If they activate the beacon, they'll be able to establish a link with the Borg living in this century. Dr. Beverly Crusher : But in the 21st century, the Borg are still in the Delta quadrant. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : They'll send reinforcements. Humanity will be an easy target. Attack the Earth in the past to assimilate the future. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Six years ago, they assimilated me into their collective. I had their cybernetic devices implanted throughout my body. I was linked to the hive mind. Every trace of individuality erased. I was one of them. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Initiate auto-destruct sequence. Authorization: Picard, 4 7 Alpha Tango. Dr. Beverly Crusher : Computer, Commander Beverly Crusher. Confirm auto-destruct sequence. Authorization: Crusher, 2 2 Beta Charlie. Lt. Commander Worf : Computer, Lieutenant Commander Worf. Confirm auto-destruct sequence. Authorization: Worf, 3 7 Gamma Echo. Computer : Command authorization accepted. Awaiting final command. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : This is Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Destruct sequence: Alpha 1. 15 minutes, silent countdown. Enable. Computer : Auto-destruct in 15 minutes. There will be no further audio warnings. Dr. Beverly Crusher : So much for the Enterprise-E. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : We barely knew her. Dr. Beverly Crusher : Think they'll build another one? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Plenty of letters left in the alphabet. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mr. Data, lay in a course for the 24th century. I suspect our future is there waiting for us. Lieutenant Commander Data : Course laid in, sir. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Make it so. Lily Sloane : [pointing a phaser] Get me out of here! Captain Jean-Luc Picard : That's not going to be easy. Lily Sloane : Well, you'd better find a way to make it easy, soldier, or I'm going to start PUSHING BUTTONS! Movie Title: X-Men: Next Dimension (2002) as Professor Charles Xavier: Professor Charles Xavier : Farewell, my children... And good luck. Professor Charles Xavier : So an arrangement was made. The exact details were unclear, but one thing was for certain: none of this would fare well for those of us bearing an X. But if there is one thing the X-men can be counted upon to handle, it is adversity. Professor Charles Xavier : As precarious as our situation was, I realized there was one thing that could make it worse: Magneto. After the downfall of his former kingdom of Genosha, Magneto had retreated from the world. With all that faced the X-Men already, I counted us fortunate that my one-time friend had not been drawn into the conflict. Professor Charles Xavier : Such was the severity of the situation, that no one noticed that Wolverine's wounds from the previous battle had not yet healed. And such is the calibre of the man known as Wolverine, that he pressed on, saying nothing at all to the others. Professor Charles Xavier : A hasty council of war was held consisting of some of the most powerful mutants alive. Their mutual goal: end this new threat before it ends them. Nothing short of the fate of mutantkind hung in the balance. Movie Title: Star Trek: Generations (1994) as Picard: Kirk : I take it the odds are against us and the situation is grim. Picard : You could say that. Kirk : You know, if Spock were here, he'd say that I was an irrational, illogical human being by taking on a mission like that. Sounds like fun! Kirk : Did we make a difference? Picard : Oh, yes. We made a difference. Picard : Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. After all Number One, we're only mortal. Riker : Speak for yourself sir, I plan to live forever. Dr. Soran : Ah, Captain. You must think I'm quite the madman. Picard : The thought had crossed my mind. Kirk : You say history considers me dead. Who am I to argue with history? Picard : You're a Starfleet officer. You have a duty! Kirk : I don't need to be lectured by you. I was out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers. Besides which, I think the galaxy owes me one. Picard : This is not your bedroom. Kirk : No, it's not. It's better. Riker : Lieutenant Worf, the charges and specifications are one: Performing above and beyond the call of duty on countless occasions, and two, most seriously: Has earned the admiration and respect of the entire crew. Picard : Mr. Worf, I hereby promote you to Lieutenant-Commander, and therefore have the same rights and priviledges of such. May God have mercy on your soul. Picard : If there is one thing I have learned, Number One, is never underestimate a Klingon. Riker : I'm going to miss this ship;... she went before her time. Picard : Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalks us all our lives... Riker : I always hoped I'd get a shot at this chair one day. Picard : Perhaps you still will... somehow I doubt this ship will be the last to carry the name 'Enterprise'. [looks at Riker for a beat, then taps his combadge] Picard : Picard to Farragut, two to beam up. [the two men demateralize] [Worf has fallen into the ocean, after Riker ordered the computer to remove the holographic plank] Picard : Number One, that's *retract* plank, not *remove* plank. Riker : Of course, Sir. [leans over the side towards Worf] Riker : Sorry! Movie Title: Conspiracy Theory (1997) as Dr. Jonas: Dr. Jonas : In one hour, I want to know where she eats, where she sleeps, the name of her kindergarten teacher, everything. Dr. Jonas : Have you ever been a place where hope was gone? Where all that's left is patience? Jerry : You can't hurt me any more. Dr. Jonas : I'll be the judge of that. Dr. Jonas : [on the experiments that he had performed] ...And it all ended when John Hinkley shot Ronald Regan.... [notices look on Alice's look] Dr. Jonas : ... That wasn't us. [Before getting a needle] Jerry Fletcher : What's that? Dr. Jonas : Gravy for the brain. Jerry Fletcher : No! Not Gravy! Nooooooo! Movie Title: Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) as King Goobot: King Goobot : Time to discipline the naughty children. Open fire! Movie Title: Excalibur (1981) as Leondegrance: [the nobles are arguing over Arthur's drawing of the sword] Uryenes : Lord Leondegrance! Join us against the boy! Leondegrance : I saw what I saw! The boy drew the sword. If a boy has been chosen, a boy shall be King! Uryenes : NO, I challenge that! Sir Ector : The sword has been drawn! Uryenes : [to Leondegrance] Are you with us, or against us? Leondegrance : Against you! Movie Title: X-Men (2000) as Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : Ah, Logan. I'd like you to meet Ororo Monroe, also called Storm. This is Scott Summers, also called Cyclops. They saved your life. I believe you already know Dr. Jean Grey. You are in my School for the Gifted for Mutants. You'll be safe here from Magneto. Wolverine : What's a Magneto? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : A very powerful mutant. He believes that a war is brewing between mutants and the rest of humanity. I've been following his activities for some time. The man who attacked you is an associate of his called Sabertooth. Wolverine : Sabertooth? [looks at Storm] Wolverine : Storm. [looks at Xavier] Wolverine : What do they call you? "Wheels"? This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Students. [Logan has found his way to the Professor's office] Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : I'm Charles Xavier. Would you like some breakfast? Logan : Where am I? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : Westchester, New York. My people brought you here for medical attention. Logan : I don't need medical attention. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : Yes, of course. [The X-Men help Senator Kelly, a victim of Magneto's mutant machine] Senator Kelly : I was afraid they'd... Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : Treat you like a mutant? [pause] Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : We're not what you think. Not all of us. Senator Kelly : Tell that to the ones who did this to me. Magneto : Why do you come here, Charles? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answers? Magneto : Ah, yes. Your continuing search for hope. You know this plastic prison won't hold me forever. The war is still coming, Charles, and I intend to fight it... by any means necessary. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : And I will always be there... old friend. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : Don't give up on them, Erik. Magneto : What would you have me do, Charles? I've heard these arguments before. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : That was a long time ago. Mankind has evolved since then. Magneto : Yes, into us. Magneto : [pointing to his head] Are you sneaking around in here, Charles? Whatever are you looking for? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : I'm looking for hope. Magneto : I will bring you hope, old friend, and I ask only one thing in return - don't get in my way. [discussing Wolverine] Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : There are more powerful mutants out there. Why should this one be so important? Cyclops : Maybe it's his way with people. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : You don't like him? Cyclops : How could you tell? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : Well, I am psychic, you know. Wolverine : Felt like she killed me. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : If she held on any longer, she could have. [first lines] Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : [narration] Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : Where are you going? Wolverine : To find her. Storm : How? Wolverine : The traditional way: look! Magneto : Does it ever wake you in the middle of the night? The feeling that one day they will pass that foolish law or one just like it and come for you? And your children? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : It does indeed. Magneto : What do you do, when you wake up to that? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : I feel a great swell of pity for the poor fool who comes to that school... looking for trouble. Magneto : Why not come out where I can see you, Charles? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : What do you want her for? Magneto : Can't you read my mind? What now? Save the girl? You'll have to kill me, Charles. And what will that accomplish? Let them pass that law and they'll have you in chains with a number burned into your forehead. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : It won't be that way. Magneto : Then kill me and find out. Then release me. Fine! Cyclops : Wait a second! You said this machine draws its power from Magneto, and that it weakened him. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier : Yes, in fact it nearly killed him. Wolverine : He's going to transfer his power to Rogue and use her to power the machine. Movie Title: X2 (2003) as Professor X: Professor X : Eric what have you done? Magneto : I'm sorry, Charles. I couldn't help it. Professor X : What have you told Stryker? Magneto : Everything. Rogue : Bobby, what did you do? Bobby : I didn't do it. Professor X : No, but I did; the next time you feel like showing off... don't. [looking over confidential papers] President McKenna : How did you get these? Professor X : Lets just say I know a little girl who can go through walls. Wolverine : I need you to read my mind again. Professor X : Sometimes the mind needs to discover things for itself. Professor X : William... William Stryker : Oh, please Xavier, don't get up. Professor X : Oh my god, William, this is your son! What have you... William Stryker : No, Charles. My son is dead. Just like all the rest of you! Professor X : Logan, the mind isn't just a box that can be unlocked and opened, it's a beehive with many... Wolverine : Spare me the lecture. Professor X : If you continue to smoke in here, you'll spend the rest of your life believing you are a six year old girl. Wolverine : You can do that? Professor X : I'd have Jean braid your hair. Professor X : It is an historical fact, sharing has never been humanity's defining attribute. Magneto : Come to rescue me Charles? Professor X : Sorry Eric not today. Professor X : You arranged the attack on the president. William Stryker : Why you didn't even have to read my mind. Professor X : You see Logan; we're not as alone as you think. Professor X : William, you wanted me to cure your son, but mutation is not a disease. William Stryker : You're lying! You were more frightened of him than I was. You know, just one year after Jason returned from your school, my wife... You see, he resented us. He blamed us for his condition. So he would toy with our minds, projecting visions and scenarios into our brains. Well, my wife, in the end, she took a power drill to her left temple in an attempt to bore the images out. My boy. The great illusionist. Professor X : For someone who hates mutants, you certainly keep some strange company. William Stryker : Oh, they serve their purpose. As long as they can be controlled. [Jean and Storm are headed off to Boston to find Nightcrawler] Professor X : I'm sending you the coordinates of his location right now Storm : Lets just hope he cooperates... Professor X : Yes, for his sake. Good luck. Movie Title: Safe House (1998) as Mace: Mace : What sort of name is 'Andi' for a girl? Andi : It's short for Andrea. What sort of name is 'Mace'? Mace : It's short for 'in your face'! Movie Title: The Pagemaster (1994) as Adventure: [upon meeting Captain Ahab] Fantasy : He's possessed! Horror : He's insane! Adventure : He's my kinda guy! Adventure : Hmm, you know what would make this a happy ending? A kiss. Horror : Doh, okay. [smack] Adventure : I meant from her! Adventure : I wrote the book on sailing. In fact, I am the book on sailing. Adventure : How would you like to curl up with a good book? [Fantasy wallops him] Adventure : Ow, me binding! Fantasy : In your dreams! Movie Title: Dune (1984) as Gurney Halleck: Gurney Halleck : Behold, as a wild ass in the desert, go I forth to my work. Gurney Halleck : The slow blade penetrates the shield Gurney Halleck : It's time for your daily lesson. Paul : Not today Gurney, I'm not in the mood. Gurney Halleck : Moods are for cattle and loveplay, not for fighting! Movie Title: Antony and Cleopatra (1974) as Enobarbus: Enobarbus : Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. Movie Title: Star Trek: The Next Generation - All Good Things... (1994) as Captain Jean-Luc Picard / Picard: Picard : No, Will, we can't! We have to save humanity! [Last line of the series] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Five card stud, nothing wild. And the sky's the limit. Movie Title: Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) as Picard: La Forge : Captain, we are being hailed. Picard : On screen. [He realizes that the screen has been destroyed, along with the entire front wall of the bridge] Picard : ...Open a channel. Data : [as B-4] Move, puny human animal. Picard : [whispering] A little less florid, Data... Picard : Duty: a starship captain's life is filled with solemn duty. I have commanded men in battle. I have negotiated peace treaties between implacable enemies. I have represented the Federation in first contact with twenty-seven alien species. But none of this compares to my solemn duty as... best man. Now, I know that on an occasion such as this it is expected that I be gracious and fulsome with praise on the wonders of this blessed union, but have you two considered what you're doing to me? Of course you're happy. But what about my needs? This is all a damned inconvenience. While you're happily settling in on the Titan, I'll have to train my new first officer. You all know him. He's a steely sort of fellow who knows every word of every paragraph of every regulation by heart; a stern martinet who will never, ever, allow me to go on away missions. Picard : This has nothing to do with my ship. Shinzon : Oh, but it does! We will no longer bow before anyone as slaves. Not the Romulans and not your mighty Federation. We are a race bred for war... and conquest. Shinzon : You are me. The same noble Picard blood runs through our veins. Had you lived my life, you'd be doing exactly as I am... Look in the mirror and see yourself. Consider that, Captain... I can think of no greater torment for you. Picard : I'm a mirror for you as well. Shinzon : Not for long. I'm afraid you won't survive to witness the victory of the echo... over the voice. [speaking of his first officer] Picard : He's a stern martinet would never, ever allow me to go on away missions. Data : That is the regulation, sir. Starfleet Code section 12, paragraph 4... Picard : Data... Data : Sir? Picard : Shut up. Data : Yes, sir. Picard : [to the wedding guests] I've waited 15 years to say that. Data : Do you think this is a wise course of action, sir? Picard : We're about to find out, Data. Data : The B-4 is physically identical to me, although his neural pathways are not as advanced. But even if they were, he would not be me. Picard : How can you be sure? Data : I aspire, sir. To be better than I am. The B-4 does not. Nor does Shinzon. Picard : The crew has responded with the dedication I've come to expect from them... And like a thousand other commanders on a thousand other battlefields, I wait for the dawn. Commander Deanna Troi : And you needn't worry. I'll brief your new counselor on everything she needs to know. Picard : Like hell you will. You already know too much about me. Picard : Now you promised there are no speeches during the ceremony on Betazed. Commander William T. Riker : No... no speeches. No clothes, either. [Toasting Riker and Troi] Picard : Will Riker, you have been my trusted right arm for fifteen years. You have helped keep my course true and steady. Deanna Troi, you have been my conscience and guide. You have helped me to recognize the best parts of myself. [to both] Picard : You are my family. And in maritime tradition, I wish you clear horizons... my friends, make it so. Picard : You have the bridge... Mr. Troi. Picard : Why am I here? Shinzon : I was lonely. [speaking of Data] Picard : In his quest to be more like us, he helped show us what it means to be human. Commander Deanna Troi : What's he doing? Picard : He wants to look me in the eye... [last lines] B-4 : [singing brokenly to himself] Never saw the sun... never saw the sun... never saw... the sun... Picard : [helping along] Shining so bright. B-4 : [singing brokenly to himself] Shining so bright... never saw things... [hums the rest of the line] Picard : [helping along] Going so right... B-4 : [singing to himself] Going so right... [Picard leaves his office, with a wistful yet hopeful smile on his face] Janeway : The Son'a, the Borg, the Romulans; you always get the easy assignments. Picard : Just lucky, I guess. [On seeing the Scimitar for the first time] Picard : [with awe] She's a predator... Janeway : Jean-Luc, how would you like a trip to Romulus? Picard : With or without the rest of the fleet? Movie Title: I, Claudius (1976) as Sejanus: Sejanus : I need no trial to prove your guilt. Gallus : A tune sung by every corrupt small-town policeman, which is what you are, and what you should have stayed. Sejanus : Sign it. Gallus : What is it? Sejanus : A confession. Gallus : To what? Sejanus : Your conspiracy with Drusus to subvert the armies of the Rhine. Sign it. Gallus : You wrote it, you sign it. Movie Title: Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) as King Richard: King Richard : Take him to the Tower of London. Make him part of the tour. King Richard : From this day forth, all toilets in this kingdom shall be known as "Johns"! Movie Title: Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) as Captain Picard: Captain Picard : Do you remember when we used to be explorers? Captain Picard : Ru'afo, we're getting too old for this. Ad'har Ru'afo : After today, that won't be a problem... for either of us. Captain Picard : If a court-martial is the only way to tell the Federation what is happening here, Admiral... I welcome it. Admiral Matthew Dougherty : Jean-Luc, we're only moving 600 people. Captain Picard : How many people does it take, Admiral, before it becomes wrong? Hmm? A thousand, fifty thousand, a million? How many people does it take, Admiral? Commander Riker : Our guests have arrived. They're eating the floral arrangements. Counselor Deanna Troi : Oh my God, are they vegetarian? That's not in the book! Captain Picard : Have the chef whip up a light balsamic vinaigrette. Something that goes well with chrysanthemums. Cmdr. Beverly Crusher : You either need a bigger suit or a smaller neck. Captain Picard : My collar size is the same as it was in the Academy. Cmdr. Beverly Crusher : Of course. Captain Picard : We're going to stop by Sector 441 on our way to the Goran system. Geordi La Forge : They *are* in opposite directions. [there is a blemish on Worf's face] Captain Picard : Have you been in a fight, Mr Worf? Lieutenant Commander Worf : [sighs] No sir... it is a "gorch". Captain Picard : A what? Data : [whispers] Pimple, sir. Captain Picard : Oh... you can hardly notice it. Captain Picard : I wish I could spare a few centuries to learn. Anij : It took us centuries to learn that it doesn't have to take centuries to learn. Captain Picard : Mr. Worf, do you know Gilbert and Sullivan? Lieutenant Commander Worf : No sir, I have not had a chance to meet all the new crew members since I have been back. [to 300-year-old Anij] Captain Picard : I should warn you - I've always been attracted to older women. Captain Picard : How is it that in 300 years you never learned to swim? Anij : I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Captain Picard : Data, what's the last thing you remember? Data : [singing] His nose should pant, and his lip should curl... Captain Picard : From the mission. Captain Picard : Don't panic! Anij : I've been shot at, thrown into the lake out of a ship that's come to abduct us - what's there to panic about? Movie Title: Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) as Capt. Picard / Captain Jean-Luc Picard / Locutus: [Repeated line] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Make it so. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Wishing for a thing doesn't make it so. [At a hearing regarding the civil rights of androids like Data] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Are we prepared to condemn him, and all who come after him, to servitude and slavery? Your Honor, Starfleet was founded to seek out new life... well, THERE IT SITS. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Let's make sure that history never forgets the name Enterprise. [Last line of the series] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Five card stud, nothing wild. And the sky's the limit. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : What is it? Lt.Cmdr. Data : There's nothing out there; absolutely nothing. Lt.Cmdr. Geordi Laforge : Well it's a damn ugly nothing. [Picard is in a dream and sees Q] Q : Welcome, Picard. You're dead. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : What? Q : You're in Heaven. And I'm God. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You are NOT God. Q : Blasphemy. I ought to smite you down right here. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The universe isn't THAT badly made. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [as Locutus of Borg] Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. Q : I have no powers! Q the ordinary. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Q the liar, Q the misanthrope! Q : Q the miserable, Q the desperate! What must I do to convince you people? Lieutenant Worf : Die. Q : Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Lieutenant Worf, dispatch a subspace message to Admiral Hansen - We have engaged the Borg. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I understand what you've done here, Q. But I think the lesson could have been learned without the loss of 18 members of my crew. Q : If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous - with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : But... who knows - our reality may be very much like theirs. And all this... might just be an elaborate simulation running inside a little device... sitting on someone's table. [His first words to Wesley Crusher] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : What the hell? Children are not allowed on the bridge. Q : Temper, temper, Captain. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Get off my ship. Q : I do so only because it suits me. But I cannot promise not to appear again. [said to Data when he loses his confidence after losing a game to a humanoid] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Sometimes, you can make no mistakes, do everything right, and still lose Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [Trying to inspire courage in a child in danger] Let's see. Your science project involved radishes, did it not? I hereby appoint you my Executive Officer in charge of... um... radishes. Q : Jean-Luc, it's wonderful to see you again. How about a big hug? [Puts his feet up on Picards desk] Q : Well don't just stand there. Say something. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Get out of my chair. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I've just been paid a visit from Q. Commander William T. Riker : Q? Any idea what he's up to? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : He wants to do something nice for me. [Riker nods] Commander William T. Riker : I'll alert the crew. [Picard makes a proposal to the Romulan commander] Commander Tomalak : Has Starfleet Command approved this arrangement? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : No. Commander Tomalak : I like it already. Agreed. Dr. Beverly Crusher : It is definitely like alcohol intoxication. The same lack of good judgment. For example, right now I find you extremely, extremely... of course we haven't time for that sort of thing. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : What Sort Of Thing? Dr. Beverly Crusher : Oh god, would I love to show you. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Doctor, there must be a cure, some formula. Hu huhuhu hu [giggling uncomfortably] [Opening monologue] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Space... the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : We must at least appear to be... Q : Pals? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Civil. Locutus : If you attempt to intervene, we will destroy you. William T. Riker : Take your best shot, Locutus, we are about to intervene. [Data has brought three cryogenically frozen 20th century humans aboard] Capt. Picard : But Data, they were already dead. I mean, what more could have happened to them? [Data approaches Picard to request advice on understanding women] Capt. Picard : When I have some, I'll let you know. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You are a little boy, six years old. You cannot hurt me. [after many years, Picard runs into his old flame, Philippa Louvois] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You know what I would like to do right now? Captain Phillipa Louvois : Bust a chair across my face, probably. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : After that. Captain Phillipa Louvois : Ain't love grand? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : A matter of internal security: the age-old cry of the oppressor. [the Enterprise is set to auto destruct and time is running out] Computer : Ten seconds to auto destruct. Commander William T. Riker : [worried] Captain? Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Abort auto destruct sequence. Computer : Riker, William T. do you concur? Commander William T. Riker : Yes. Absolutely. I do indeed concur wholeheartedly. Computer : Auto destruct cancelled. [everyone breathes a huge sigh of relief] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : A simple "yes" would have sufficed number one. Commander William T. Riker : I didn't want there to be any chance of misunderstanding. Captain Jean-Luc Picard : With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably. Lieutenant Worf : Nepo! Captain Jean-Luc Picard : This is mutiny! [after Captain Picard and his "crew" of three schoolchildren escaped from a damaged turbolift, the children come to the bridge to thank him] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : [leaving for his ready room] You have the bridge, Number One. Commander William T. Riker , Marissa Flores : Aye, sir. [Riker looks at her, surprised. She laughs sheepishly. Picard winks at her] [repeated line] Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Engage! Movie Title: Jeffrey (1995) as Sterling: Jeffrey : But Darius is a dancer. He's in "Cats." Sterling : Exactly. I said you needed a boyfriend, not a person. Sterling : You know, Darius once said you were the saddest person he knew. Jeffrey : Why did he day that? Sterling : Because he was sick. He had a fatal disease. And he was a million times happier than you. [Regarding his brush with Mother Theresa] Jeffrey : She looked good. Sterling : Please, she's had work done. Darius : Who's Martha Stewart? Sterling : She writes picture books about gracious living. Martha says that nothing else matters if you can do a nice dried floral arrangement. I worship her. Darius : And, um, who's Ann Miller? Sterling : Leave this house. Sterling : [putting on a red shawl] Can I do this, or will I look like some sort of gay superhero? Sterling : Two cappuccinos. Thank you, darling. Big kiss. The earring - fun... last year. |
