Star Trek: Borg (1996 Video Game)

John Cothran: Dr. Bennington Biraka

Quotes 

• Nikolai Andropov : [Q has just revealed himself and you to the crew on the bridge]  Who are you? And what happened to Dr. Quint and Lt. Sprint? And what have you done to my crew?

  Q : I'm afraid, the Lieutenant died about four hours ago, not my doing. He was supposed to die, just as all of you I'm afraid are supposed to be vaporized here, at Wolf-359. That's how it's written in the history books.

  Dr. Bennington Biraka : History? Are you telling us you're from the future?

  Q : He is!

  [Points to you] 

  Q : I am, like I said I exist outside the confines of the space-time continum. That is if I wanted to. My little friend here wanted a chance to come back and save this ship from destruction, and to my great suprise he succeeded!

• Nikolai Andropov : [You just saved the ship, and the Borg are headed for Earth]  I wonder what chance the Starfleet forces has of stopping the Borg at Earth.

  Q : Actually they will succeed. The Enterprise, utilizing the emergency transporters on the shuttlecraft, will re-capture their borgafied Picard, and stop the Borg incursion just in the nick of time.

  Dr. Bennington Biraka : And how do you know that, Quint?

  Q : I told you already, I'm an omnipotent being!

  [Snaps his fingers and transforms back into Q] 

• Ralph Furlong : I think by now, all my friends are tired of hearing me brag about Qaylan. I'm sure they don't want to hear anymore.

  Q : Do you hear that, Sprint? You don't want to hear Furlong talking about his whiny brat now, do you?

  [Player kicks Q in the crotch] 

  Q : [Doubling over in pain]  Ohhhh!

  Dr. Bennington Biraka : Come on, Quint, you'll be okay. Just catch your breath. If you just didn't try so hard to make everyone dislike you!

  Q : [In a high-pitched voice]  S-Spare me the psycho! You don't have to psychoanalyze me!

• Dr. Bennington Biraka : [to Lt. Sprint]  Lieutenant! Are you alright?

  Ralph Furlong : Sprint? He's an Ox! Nothing scares him!

  Anastastia Targus : And nothing hurts him. Isn't that right, Lieutenant?

  Dr. Bennington Biraka : There are *all* kinds of pain, Lieutenant. Don't let the fact that you are Bijani prevent you from acknowledging the hurt!

• Dr. Bennington Biraka : Your problem is very straightforward, doctor. You *desperately* want to be liked.

  Q : If I wanted to be liked, all I'd have to do is snap my fingers, and I'd be liked. I'm an omnipotent being, masquerading as Dr. Quint! Whatever I want to happen, happens.

  Dr. Bennington Biraka : Interesting fantasy. Alright, let's play that through. Then why don't you?

  Q : Why don't I what?

  Dr. Bennington Biraka : Make everyone *like* you!

  Q : Because I don't *want* to!

  Dr. Bennington Biraka : No! Because you want them to like you of their own free will. And, phenomenologically speaking, you can't force them to do something of their own free will.

  Q : Sophistry, Biraka!

  Dr. Bennington Biraka : Truth, Quint. Let me give you some free advice: If you want to be liked, try making yourself *likable*.
