Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You don't know, Robert. You don't know... They took everything I was. They used me to kill and to destroy and I couldn't stop them.
[sobs]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I should have been able to stop them. I tried... I tried so hard. But I wasn't strong enough! I wasn't good enough! I should have been able to stop them, I should've, I should...!
Robert Picard : So - my brother is a human being after all. This is going to be with you a long time, Jean-Luc. A long time. You have to learn to live with it. You have a simple choice now: live with it below the sea with Louis - or above the clouds with the Enterprise.
[they help each other up from the ground]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : You know, I think you were right, after all. I think I did come back so that you could help me.
Robert Picard : Yeah... Do you know what? I still don't like you, Jean-Luc.

Marie Picard : [on René] He's still out there.
Robert Picard : Mm-hm.
Marie Picard : Dreaming about starships and adventures... It's getting late.
Robert Picard : Yeah... But let him dream, hm?

Robert Picard : [presenting a bottle of wine] Jean-Luc, here is a little of the '47. Do not drink it all at once, and if possible, try not to drink it alone.
-
[the Picards are drinking wine]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : This the '46?
Robert Picard : '47. You've been drinking too much of that artificial stuff. What do you call it? Synthehol? Spoiled you. Ruined your palate.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : On the contrary. I think that synthehol heightens one's appreciation for the genuine article.

Marie Picard : [when finding Jean-Luc and Robert covered with mud] Have you two been fighting?
Robert Picard : Fighting? No, certainly not!
-
Robert Picard : I always thought you needed a little humiliation. Or was it humility? Either would do.
-
Robert Picard : Why did you come back, Jean-Luc? Did you come back because you wanted me to look after you again?
