Patrick Stewart reveals in his memoir how director Jonathan Frakes loved mocking Captain Picard's most famous line in Star Trek: First Contact.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Patrick Stewart reveals how Star Trek: First Contact director Jonathan Frakes hilariously loved to mock Captain Jean-Luc Picard's most famous line. First Contact was the most popular and successful Star Trek: The Next Generation movie, and its lasting impact factored heavily into the story of Star Trek: Picard season 3, which reunited the entire TNG crew to face the Borg Queen once more.
In his autobiography, "Making It So: A Memoir," Sir Patrick Stewart discussed the pivotal scene in Star Trek: First Contact where Captain Picard loses control when Lily calls him "Captain Ahab" out to "hunt his whale." Stewart furiously utters Picard's pivotal line, "The line must be drawn here!", which Stewart says Jonathan Frakes loved to mimic.
This scene shows Jean-Luc at his most vulnerable, his anger and frustration boiling over into frightening rage. Under the spell of these emotions and Alfre's intensity, I spat out the words, "The line must be drawn here!" like venom: "The line must be drawn h'yah!" We all felt good about that scene after we shot it, but it was Jonathan who recognized instantly that my eccentric pronunciation was bound to achieve traction. He started saying, "The line must be drawn h'yah!" in my voice, in all sorts of situations. Sure enough, it became a pop culture trope, oft-quoted and parodied. I am all too pleased about it.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 5, episode 25, "In The Cards," took another dig at Captain Picard's dialogue in Star Trek: First Contact when Jake Sisko tried to explain the United Federation of Planets' economic system to Nog . Jake paraphrased Picard when he told Nog that instead of making money, "We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.
