Star Trek: First Contact (1996)



Picard convinces Lily that he is not a threat - that a new 'faction' wants to stop Cochrane's launch the next morning. He begins to explain
that he is from the future and that they are no longer on Earth, but rather above it in a large starship.



Picard answers Lily's questions about the future including "How much did it cost to build this thing?" Picard: "The economics of the future
are somewhat different. You see, we don't use money in the 24th century." Another question was directed to the new 'faction'.
Lily: "What is this new faction you were saying called?" Picard: "The Borg." Lily: "Sounds Swedish."



"Definitely NOT Swedish!"


Picard fires a warning shot over the Borg in the corridor and retreats into a nearby holosuite. He aims to take advantage of holographic
diversions to hide amongst a 'crowd' and ambush them when the time is right. In the meantime, he will play along with the storyline.



Picard playing as Dixon Hill, private investigator. This had always been one of Picard's favorite holodeck programs, carried over from
the time of the Enterprise-D. Picard: "I'm looking for Nicky the Nose." The character was actually in the next chapter, so Picard
advanced the program.



As the intruding Borg approached, Picard snatched The Nose's Thompson submachine gun and opened fire with glee. The Borg
were killed due to disabled holosuite safety protocols and a general inexperience in adapting their energy shields to a somewhat
archaic projectile weapon.
