Quotes

Third of Five : We are Borg.
Guinan : Aren't you gonna tell me you have to assimilate me?
Third of Five : You wish to be assimilated?
Guinan : No, but that's what you... things do, isn't it?
[the Borg nods]
Guinan : Resistance is futile?
Third of Five : Resistance is futile.
Guinan : It isn't. My people resisted when the Borg came, to assimilate us. Some of us survived.
Third of Five : Resistance... is not futile?
Guinan : No. But thanks to you, there are very few of us left. We're scattered throughout the galaxy. We don't even have a home anymore.
Third of Five : What you are saying... is that you are lonely.
Guinan : What?
Third of Five : You have no others. You have no home. We... are also lonely.

[at his encounter with Hugh, Picard is acting as Locutus of Borg]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Resistance is futile.
Third of Five : Resistance... is not futile. Some have escaped.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : They will be found. It is inevitable. All will be assimilated.
Third of Five : Must Geordi be assimilated?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Yes.
Third of Five : He does not wish it. He would rather die than be assimilated.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Then he will die.
Third of Five : No. Geordi must not die. Geordi is a friend.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You will assist us to assimilate this vessel. You are Borg. You will assist us.
Third of Five : I will not.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : What did you say?
Third of Five : I - will not - assist you.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : "I"?
Third of Five : Geordi must not be assimilated.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : But you are Borg.
Third of Five : No. I am Hugh.
-
Third of Five : You will be assimilated.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Yes, but before that happens, could we ask you a few questions?
-
Doctor Beverly Crusher : We don't have designations, we have names. I'm Beverly. This is Geordi.
Third of Five : Do I have a name?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Do you want one?
Third of Five : A name.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : I'm Beverly, he's Geordi, and you...
Third of Five : You.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : You...
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : No, no, wait a minute - that's it: Hugh! What do you think?
Third of Five : 'You'?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : No, not 'you'. 'Hugh'.
Third of Five : 'Hugh'.
Doctor Beverly Crusher : Okay. Now, I'm Beverly.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : I'm Geordi.
Third of Five : We are Hugh.
-
Third of Five : Are you ever... lonely?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Sometimes. But that's why we have friends.
Third of Five : Friends?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Sure. Someone you can talk to. Who will be with you when you're lonely. Someone... someone who makes you feel better.
Third of Five : Like Geordi - and Hugh.

[last lines]
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Well, I guess this is it, huh? So long, Hugh.
Third of Five : Goodbye, Geordi. I will try to remember you.
-
Third of Five : Captain, I do not want to forget that I am Hugh.

[La Forge has provided the Borg with an energy supplying device]
Third of Five : Why do you do this?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : I'm just a nice guy at heart. You feeling better?
Third of Five : You are not Borg.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : That's right. And I hope to stay that way.
Third of Five : You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : That's gratitude for you.
-
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Part of what we do is learn more about other species.
Third of Five : We assimilate species. Then we know everything about them.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Yeah. I know.
-
Third of Five : We... are Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Just look around, pal. You're hardly in a position to make any demands.
Third of Five : We must return to the Collective.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Who's "we"?
Third of Five : We... are Borg.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Yeah, but... there's only one of you. Do you have a name? A means of identification?
Third of Five : Third of Five.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : [understanding] There were five on your ship. Is that it, just a number?
Third of Five : Third of Five.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : Does kinda suit you.
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Identify yourself.
Third of Five : Hugh.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Identify yourself.
Third of Five : We are Hugh.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : This is not a Borg identification.
Third of Five : [after a moment] Third of Five.
-
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : We must know what you want.
Third of Five : You are many. I am one. What I want is not important.
-
Third of Five : Choose... what I want.
-
Doctor Beverly Crusher : [to Third of Five] When we first found you, you were dying. I saved your life.
Third of Five : Why?
Doctor Beverly Crusher : It's my duty to help those who are hurt.
Third of Five : [looks at Geordi] You give us food.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : [nods] Right.
Third of Five : Is that your duty?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge : [Dr. Crusher gives Geordi a curious look; awkwardly] Yeah, that's right.
