Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Picard Season 1 Episode 10: "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2" Quotes
Sad Queen Annika. Six years old and all she got for her birthday was assimilated.
Narissa
If you figure out a way to get us out of this one, they'll name it after you. The Picard Maneuver. Wait, no. That's actually a thing, isn't it?
Jurati
Picard: I have something I want to give you and your people, and I hope it will change your mind.
Soji: And what's that?
Picard: My life. Picard out.
That's why I saved your life. So that you could save ours in return. That's the whole point. That's why we're here. To save each other.
Picard
Just because I didn't try to talk you out of it, didn't mean I was going to let you go it alone. I'm supposed to sit around in the woods, making pizza, while you have all the fun?
Riker
Rios: I said I would never do it again and then I fucking did it again.
Seven: Same.
Rios: Never again do what?
Seven: So many things. But, in this instance, never again kill somebody just because it's what they deserve. Just because it feels wrong for them to still be alive. You?
Rios: Never again let another self-righteous, hard-assed, old starship captain into my heart. Never again have to stand there and watch him die.
Seven: Was there anything you could've done to prevent it?
Rios: No, I guess there wasn't
Seven: Then I win.
Data: Do you remember dying?
Picard: I think I do. Something in my head seemed to just go away like a child's sandcastle collapsing.
You don't remember your death. I can't forget it.
Picard
The Soongs can be, I believe the phrase is, 'an acquired taste'?
Data
Picard: Among the many, many things that I regretted after your death was that I never told you...
Data: That you love me. Knowing that you love me forms a small but statistically significant part of my memories. I hope that brings you some comfort, sir.
Picard: You want to die.
Data: Not exactly, sir. I want to live, however briefly, knowing that my life is finite. Mortality gives meaning to human life, Captain. Peace, love, friendship. These are precious because we know they cannot endure. A butterfly that lives forever is really not a butterfly at all.
It says a great deal about the mind of Commander Data that, looking at the human race with all its violence and corruption, willful ignorance, he could still see kindness, the immense curiosity, and greatness of spirit. And he wanted, more than anything else, to be part of that, to be part of the human family.
