We may be getting into some redundancy here, but what the hell!

“They are not the hell your whales.”

“You lied!?”

“I exaggerated.”

“What the Klingon has said is unimportant, and we do not hear his words.”

“All they have is the Type I phaser, while we have the new Type II.”

“Ah, yes, phaser cutting phasers.”

“I … have had enough … of you !!!”

“Includeling the kiddellies?”

[singing] “Life forms, those precious little life forms.”

“This is stun, and this is kill; I advise you not to confuse the two”

“So what am I, some kind of blind ghost with clothes ?”

“_One more_ **time !** ” “Not again.”

“You would suffocate, and _die_.”  
“Oh, that’s all right, then.”

Four pages and this immortal line has not been mentioned?
