time. Now you`rre learning how to lie.
My programming was not designed
to process these sensations.
Then tear away your skin
as you would a defective circuit.
Go ahead, Data. We wont stop you.
Do it. Dont be tempted by flesh.
Are you familiar with
physical forms of pleasure?
If you are referring to... sexuality, -
- I am fully functional.
Programmed in multiple techniques.
How long has it been
since youve used them?
8 years, 7 months,
16 days, 4 minutes...
Far too long.
- We should bring reinforcements.
- Theres no time.
Theyre building it on top of the particle
emitter. It will soon be activated.
- With phasers on full power...
- The dish is charged with anti-protons.
Itd destroy half the ship.
We have to find another way.
Doctor!
- Still looking for the bathroom?
- Im not going back.
- We cant do this without you.
- I don`tt want to be a statue.
- Stay away from me.
- We dont have time for this.
You told him about the statue?
For this to work, all three maglocks
will have to be released.
The magnetic restrictors
are disengaged.
Theyve adapted.
Warning:
Decompression in 45 seconds.
Hawk!
Weve had a change of plans, Data.
Assimilate this.
- An hour to go. How are you?
- Ive got a hangover.
Either from the whisky
or your laser beam... or both.
But Im ready to make history.
Troi to Riker.
Were ready to open the launch door.
- Look at that.
- Is there no moon in the future?
Sure, but there are
50 million people living on it.
You can even see Tycho City
and Lake Armstrong on a clear day.
Please...
dont tell me it`ss all thanks to me.
Ive heard enough about
the great Zefram Cochrane.
You people have got some
pretty funny ideas about me.
You all look at me
as if Im a saint or a visionary.
Youre no saint, but you did
have a vision. We`rre sitting in it.
You want to know what my vision is?
Dollar signs! Money!
I didnt build this ship
to usher in a new era for humanity.
You think I want to go to the stars?
I dont even like to fly. I take trains.
I built this ship so that I could
retire to some tropical island, -
- filled with naked women.
Thats Zefram Cochrane.
That`ss his vision.
This historical figure
you keep talking about...
I never met him.
I cant imagine I ever will.
Someone once said: `DDon`tt try
to be a great man, just be a man. ```
- `LLet history be the judge. ```
- Rhetorical nonsense.
- Who said that?
- You did, ten years from now.
Youve got 58 minutes, Doc.
Get on the checklist.
Theyre on the move again.
They`vve taken decks 5 and 6.
- Theyve adapted to our weapons.
- We`lll have to further modify them.
In the meantime,
tell your men to stand their ground.
- Fight hand-to-hand if they have to.
- Aye, sir.
Wait.
Captain, our weapons are useless.
We must activate the auto-destruct
and evacuate the ship.
If we destroy the ship,
we destroy the Borg.
- Were going to stay and fight.
- We have lost the Enterprise.
We have not lost the Enterprise
and we are not going to.
- Not while Im in command.
- I must object...
- Your objection is noted.
- With all due respect...
Youre allowing personal experience
to influence yourjudgement.
Youre afraid.
You want to destroy the ship
and run away. You coward.
If you were any other man,
I would kill you where you stand.
Get off my bridge.
- What now?.
- Carry out his orders.
Dyson, Kaplan,
modify the weapons system.
- We should get off this ship.
- The captain has made up his mind.
- You son of a bitch!
- This isnt the time.
I know nothing about the future,
but everyone thinks this is suicide.
- Theyre just afraid to say it.
- The crew will follow my orders.
- Even if they dont make sense?
- They don`tt know the Borg as I do.
- No one does. No one can.
- What is that supposed to mean?
Six years ago, they assimilated me
into their collective.
I had the cybernetic devices
implanted throughout my body.
I was linked to the hive,
every trace of individuality
