Jean-Luc Picard : What is this?
Q : This? This is home.
Jean-Luc Picard : And where are the crew of the Stargazer?
Q : Oh, how quaint. How provincial. How yesterday's Enterprise of you. There is no Stargazer.
Jean-Luc Picard : What do you mean? What have you done?
Q : Show them a world of their own making and they ask you what you've done. So human of you.
Jean-Luc Picard : Q, have you had enough of playing games with other people's lives? I am no longer your pawn.
Q : Oh, you undersell yourself, Jean-Luc. You are more than just a piece. Why, you're the very board upon which this game in played.
Jean-Luc Picard : And I am too old for your *bullshit*!
Q : Old. Yes! How unfair time is. So many wrinkles. So many disappointments.

Jean-Luc Picard : What do you want, Q?
Q : Oh, I could tell you... but you're far too clever to listen. That said, we are never too old to be students of our own behavior, Jean-Luc.
Jean-Luc Picard : I have had enough of your stupid, patronizing...
[Q slaps Picard, bloodying his nose]
Q : And I've had enough of your obstinance, your stubbornness, and your insistence on changing in all ways but the one that matters! This is not a lesson. It's a penance.

Jean-Luc Picard : Will you come to the point?
Q : You want me to cut to the chase?
Jean-Luc Picard : [enraged] Yes!
Q : Well, the chase is cut, Picard! The chase is bleeding, the chase is dying in your arms, and I am but a suture in the wound!
[Q's face quivers slightly, and he takes a few uneasy steps back]
Jean-Luc Picard : [frowns] Are you... Q, you're not well.
