Movie quotes

  • (..) Flagship Endeavour, stand by to engage. Defiant and Bozeman, fall back to mobile position one. 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. All units, open fire. (..)
