WORF: Sir, reading unidentified vessel just entering sensor range. Bearing two one zero mark one five one.
PICARD: Mister Worf, dispatch a subspace message to Admiral Hanson. We have engaged the Borg. 
WORF: Captain, you are being hailed. 
PICARD: I am? 
WORF: Yes, Captain. By name.
PICARD: On screen. I am Jean Luc Pic…
BORG [OC]: Jean Luc Picard, captain of the Starship Enterprise, registry NCC 1701D, you will lower shields and prepare to transport yourself aboard our vessel. If you do not cooperate, we will destroy your ship.
PICARD: You have committed acts of aggression against the United Federation of Planets. If you do not withdraw immediately…
BORG: You will surrender yourself or we will destroy your ship.
RIKER: What the hell do they want with you? 
SHELBY: I thought they weren’t interested in human life forms, only our technology. 
PICARD: Their priorities seem to have changed.

BORG: Captain Jean Luc Picard, you lead the strongest ship of the Federation fleet. You speak for your people. 
PICARD: I have nothing to say to you, and I will resist you with my last ounce of strength. 
BORG: Strength is irrelevant. Resistance is futile. We wish to improve ourselves. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service ours. 
PICARD: Impossible. My culture is based on freedom and self determination. 
BORG: Freedom is irrelevant. Self determination is irrelevant. You must comply. 
PICARD: We would rather die. 
BORG: Death is irrelevant. Your archaic cultures are authority driven. To facilitate our introduction into your societies, it has been decided that a human voice will speak for us in all communications. You have been chosen to be that voice.

RIKER: The Captain? 
DATA: We were unable to retrieve him, sir. Sir, The Captain has been altered by the Borg. 
RIKER: Altered? 
WORF: He is a Borg. 
LAFORGE: Commander, reading subspace field fluctuations from within the Borg ship. Looks like they’re regenerating, restoring power. They could be capable of warp any minute. 
RIKER: Is the deflector ready? 
LAFORGE: It’s ready. 
CRUSHER: Will, he’s alive. If we could get him back to the ship, I might be able to restore…
RIKER: This is our only chance to destroy them. If they get back into warp, our weapon is useless. Prepare to fire. 
WORF: Sir, we are being hailed by the Borg. 
RIKER: On screen. 
PICARD [on viewscreen]: I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. From this time forward, you will service us. 
RIKER: Mister Worf. Fire.
