Movie quotes

  • (..) We have it in visual range. A Borg cube on course ... We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to serve us. Resistance is futile. All units, open fire. They've broken through the defence perimeter. (..)
