Q: I have no powers! Q the ordinary.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Q the liar, Q the misanthrope!
Q: Q the miserable, Q the desperate! What must I do to convince you people?
Lieutenant Worf: Die.
Q: Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?
I just love this exchange.This Side of Paradise - closing lines wrote:On the viewscreen we see a planet fade into the distance as the Enterprise leaves its orbit.
McCoy: "That's the second time man has been kicked out of paradise."
Kirk: "No - this time we walked out on our own. Maybe we don't belong in paradise, Bones. Maybe we're meant to fight our way through. Struggle. Claw our way up, fighting every inch of the way. Maybe we can't stroll to the music of lutes, Bones - we must march to the sound of drums."
Spock: "Poetry, Captain - nonregulation."
Kirk: "We haven't heard much from you about the Omicron Ceti III experience, Mr. Spock."
Spock: "I have little to say about it, Captain. Except that - for the first time in my life - I was happy."
Roughshod quotation - I'm working on memory here. Basically that's the line which sticks out in my mind.Where No Man Has Gone Before wrote:Dehner: "In moments it has taken us to where man would take millions of years to get to-"
Kirk: "And what would Mitchell learn in getting there? Would he learn wisdom to go with his power? You were a psychiatrist once, Doctor - be a psychiatrist again. What would all that power do to a man - any man?"
The Corbomite Maneuver wrote:Lt. Bailey: "Raising my voice back there, sir, didn't mean I was scared or couldn't do my job. It just means I have this human thing called 'adrenalin'."
Spock: "That sounds most inconvenient. Have you considered having it removed?"
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield wrote: KIRK: Let's see you prevent the computer from carrying out my order.
COMPUTER: Twenty seconds.
KIRK: From five to zero, no command in the universe can prevent the computer from carrying out its directive.
COMPUTER: Fifteen seconds.
KIRK: You can use your will to drag this ship to Cheron. But I command the computer. Mine is the final command.
COMPUTER: Ten seconds. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six—
BEALE: I AGREE!
Sir Sirius wrote:Ode To Spot
Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

“We were immobilized, Captain Spock said it would be two days!” - Savik
“Come now Savik, you of all people go by the book.” – Kirk
“By the book?” – Savik
“By the book! Regulation 46A, if transmissions are being monitored during battle--“ - Kirk
“No uncoded messages on an open channel. You lied?!?” - Savik
“I exaggerated.” - Spock
“Hours instead of days, now we have minutes instead of hours. What IS working around here?” - Kirk
“Not much admiral, we have partial main power.” - Spock
“That’s it?” - Kirk
“Best we could do in two hours.” – Spock
“Wait. Captain, our weapons are useless. We must activate the auto destruct sequence and use the escape pods to evacuate the ship.”
“No!”
“Jean-Luc, if we destroy the ship we destroy the Borg.”
“Were going to stay and fight.”
“Sir, we have Lost the Enterprise. We should not sacrifice.”
“We have not lost the Enterprise Mr. Worf. We are not going to loose the Enterprise. Not to the Borg, not while I’m in command. You have your orders.”
“I must object to this course of action.”
“Your objection is Noted.”
“With all do respect Sir, I believe you are allowing your personal experience with the Borg to influence your judgement.”
“Your afraid. You want to destroy the ship and run away you Coward.”
“Jean-Luc!”
“If you were any other man I would Kill you where you stand.”
“Get off my bridge!”
“I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We’ve made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again, the line must be drawn Here, this far, no farther! I will make them Pay for what they’ve done!”
“USS Enterprise shakedown cruise report. I think this new ship was put together by monkeys. Oh she’s got a fine engine, but half the doors won’t open, and guess whose job it is to make it right? Let see what she’s got said the captain, and then we found out didn’t we? I just fixed that damn thing!!! Turn it off will you?” - Scotty
"Khan you bloodsucker! You're going to have to do your own dirty work now, do you hear me, DO YOU?"
"Kirk...Kirk, you're still alive my old friend"
"STILL, OLD FRIEND! You've managed to kill just about everyone else. But like a poor marksman YOU KEEP MISSING THE TARGET!"
"Perhaps I no longer need to try Admiral."
"Khan...Khan, you've got Genesis, but you don't have me. You're going to kill me Khan. You're going to have to come down here. You're going to HAVE to come down here."
"I've done far worse then kill you. I've hurt you, and I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her. Marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet. Buried alive... Buried alive."
"KHAN! KHAN!"
"We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated." - The Borg
“Which way to the turbo shaft?”
“Head down that tunnel to the hydro vent and then turn right then left at the blow screen.”
“Mr. Scott your amazing!”
“Oh there’s nothing amazing about it, I know this ship like the back of my hand” THUNK!!! (Mr. Scott hits head on arch and falls down unconscious.)
"Commander Pavel Chekov, Starfleet... United Federation of Planets. All right, Commander, is there anything you'd like to tell us?"
"Like what?" (Chekov being his usual helpful self)
"Like who you really are, and what you're really doing here, and what these - these things are."
"I am Pavel Chekov, Commander in Starfleet, United Federation of Planets. Service number 656-5827B."
"All right, let's take it from the top." (USN officer obviously doesn't believe Chekov... remember, this is 1986, Cold War is still strong... a Russian on a US Navy vessel...)
"The top of what?" (turn of phrase apparently no longer in use in the 23rd century)
"Name."
"My name?"
"No, *my* name." (/sarcasm)
"I do not know your name!" (Chekov misunderstanding)
"You play games with me, Mr, and you're through." (Officer getting annoyed)
"I am? May I go now?" (Chekov completely confused now)
*to other officer*
"What do you think?"
"He's a Ruskie."
"That is the stupidest thing I've heard in my entire life, of course he's a Ruskie... but he's a retard or something."
"We'd better call Washington."
Then Chekov makes his move with his phaser.

Capt. Picard: I sincerely hope that this is the last time I find myself here.
Q: You just don't get it, do you, Jean Luc? The trial never ends. We wanted to see if you had the ability to expand your mind and your horizons, and for one brief moment, you did.
Capt. Picard: When I realised the paradox.
Q: Exactly, for that one fraction of a second, you were open to possibilities you had never considered...THAT is the adventure that awaits you, not mapping stars and studying nebula, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence.
Generations wrote:Riker: Gonna miss this ship, she went before her time.
Picard: Someone once told me, that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives, but I rather believe that time is a companion, who goes with us on the journey, reminds us to cherish every moment, because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. After all, No.1, we're only mortal.
Riker: Speak for yourself, sir. I plan to live forever... ...I always thought I'd get a shot at this chair someday.
Picard: Perhaps you still will. Somehow, I doubt that this will be the last ship to carry the name Enterprise.

From Wrath of Khan
Kahn's assistant: we have genesis, why do we need kirk
Khan: He tasks me, he tasks me and i shall have him I will chase him around the moons of nebu, around the antares malestrom and around oarditions flames before i give him up.

Kira: you want to set an example garak,....USE HIM, LET HIM DIE....

Kind of makes you wonder about "Shakespeare in the original Klingon" unless Qronos also has a "norther star".ST VI wrote:Gen. Chang: I AM AS CONSTANT AS THE NORTHERN STAR!
Bones: I'd give real money if he'd shutup!
ST VI wrote:Bones: What IS it with you, anyway?
Kirk: Still think we're finished?
Bones: More than ever.
Shouldn't forget the quote which preceded that exchange; one of the most intelligent things ever said on Star Trek:The Kernel wrote:ST III wrote: SCOTTY: Here you are Doctor; souviners from one engineer to another. I took them out of her [Excelcior's] main transwarp computer banks.
MCCOY: Nice of you to tell me in advance!
KIRK: That's what you get for missing staff meetings Doctor.
SCOTTY: The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.
