Q: You hit me! The Picard never hit me.
Sprinkled throughout many episodes (must be said with proper brogue):
Scotty: Captain, the engines cannot take much more…
Scotty: Captain, the dilithium crystals are ready to explode…
I sense great joy.
And gratitude.
Joy…
And gratitude. 
Assimilate THIS!
I’m a doctor, not an escalator!
Oh boy.
We reach.
They are not the hell your whales.
If there’s nothing wrong with me, there must be something wrong with the universe!
Oh my…
OK Trek Dopers! Get guessing on those!
Aack. Encounter at Farpoint, where Sirtis hadn’t yet learned to tone down her ham-fisted acting.
My favorite Crusher episode, where she’s caught in the warp bubble.
Kirk’s final words.
I’ve been working my way through DS9 at a breakneck pace (thanks to the wonder that is Netflix), and it’s almost frightening how good it is compared to the series that came after it. Some of my favorite dialogue:
From Duet:
Kira: If your lies are going to be this transparent, this is going to be a very short interrogation.
Gul Darheel: Then I’ll try to make my lies more opaque.
From Babel:
Odo: Rom’s an idiot. He couldn’t fix a straw if it was bent.
From The Forsaken:
Bashir: Nothing makes them happy! They are dedicated to being unhappy, and to spreading that unhappiness to others! They are the Ambassadors of Unhappy!
From Trials and Tribble-ations (really, though, this whole episode is quotable):
Odo (to Worf): Another glorious chapter of Klingon history. Tell me, do they still sing songs of the Great Tribble Hunt?
From Afterimage:
Garak (to Ezri): Spare me your insipid psychobabble. I’m not some quivering neurotic who feels sorry for himself because his daddy wasn’t *nice. *You couldn’t begin to understand me. You’d like nothing more than to pry into my personal affairs. Well I’m not interested in dissecting my childhood. I only want to save my people from the Dominion. I don’t need someone to walk in here and hold my hand, I want someone to help me get back to work! And you, my dear, are not up to this task. Look at you, you’re pathetic! A confused child trying to live up to a legacy left by her predecessors. You’re not worthy of the name Dax. I knew Jadzia; she was vital, alive, she owned herself, and you? You don’t even know who you are. How dare you presume to help me! You can’t even help yourself! Now get out of here… before I say something unkind.
From Take Me Out to the Holosuite:
(While learning to play baseball from Sisko…)
Bashir: What are you eating?
O’Brien: I’m not eating, I’m chewing.
Bashir: Chewing what?
O’Brien: Gum. It’s traditional. I had the replicator create me some.
Bashir: They just chewed it?
O’Brien: No, they infused the gum with flavour.
Bashir: What did you infuse it with?
O’Brien: Scotch.
From In the Pale Moonlight:
Vreenak: So you’re the commander of Deep Space Nine. And the Emissary of the Prophets. Decorated combat officer, widower, father, mentor… Oh and yes, the man who started the war with the Dominion. Somehow, I thought you’d be taller.
The aforementioned Garak quote (“I’d call that a bargain”)
Sisko: So I lied, I cheated, I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. And the damndest thing is… I think I can live with it. shifts posture uncomfortably I can live with it. fade to black
A couple from Chief O’Brien:
“I hate temporal mechanics!” (from “Visionary”)
“And that’s from the heart! I really do… not hate you.” (To Bashir, when the two of them are drunk off their asses in “Explorers.”)
Another Garak/Bashir exchange (from “The Wire”):
“Doctor, has anyone ever told you that you’re an infuriating pest?”
“Chief O’Brien, all the time! And I don’t pay any attention to him, either.”
Nitpick: Scotty was Scots, not Irish. He had a burr, not a brogue.
Jadzia, sitting down with Sisko who doesn’t know where Jake is.
“If I were you, I would find Jake…and make him come eat his dinner,” with a knowing look in her eyes.
Worf being dramatic before he vaporized the Borg-modified deflector dish of the 1701-E in First Contact.
Dr McCoy, on having to help a pregnant lady up a hill in “Friday’s Child.”
Spock to Dr Gillian Taylor in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
Ah, but in the movies…
Kirk: “Well, a double dumbass on you!”
You do realize, of course, that we finally learn how it happened in an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise that aired not long ago.
Just out of curiousity (because I sadly gave up on Enterprise long ago) what was the explanation?
And who can forget:
“Of all the souls I have known, his was the most…human.”
Didn’t someone in Trek say “May all your guesses be right” ?
I like that one, but I don’t recall who said it.
One deep, one silly.
-
“With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.”
-
“Prune juice – a warrior’s drink!”
Kira: Why!? He wasn’t Gul Darhe’el!
Bajoran: He’s a Cardassian, that’s reason enough.
Kira: No. It’s not.
Kira to a Bajoran assassin in the first season episode, Duet
My favorite character (possibly of the entire franchise) is Kira Nerys and lines like that are why.
McCoy said it to Kirk in The Search for Spock.
The name of the episode eludes me, but it was a “Next Generation” outing, in which a crewmember develops a crush on Data. You kind of have to see it to get it, but:
Data (paraphrasing): Ensign (whatever her name was) just gave me, what you might call “a…passionate kiss in the torpedo bay.”
Best. Double entendre. EVER!!!
Not a trekkie, and haven’t even such much Trek since TOS, but I’m enjoying this thread.
One quote that’s stuck in my head for 35 years: the TOS episode with the reincarnated/eternal Jack the Ripper, as he’s being restrained & captured:
“No! Die! Make you suffer…!”
Don’t ask me why.
That episode is also rather sad, as after Ensign Blonde dumps Data, his only reaction is to say, “I will delete the relevant program.”
So Data is alone and he doesn’t realize it.
But I do like the way he describes friendship, “My neural pathways become used to certain sensory input. In time, those inputs are anticipated, and missed when absent.” Then the typical Data head tilt.
Aesiron has already given the source for this line, but it sparked another memory for me, based on a similar line. (The following is paraphrased, and may not be totally accurate.)
In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, there’s a nice little exchange as they’re getting ready to try to travel back to the future. Spock says something about having to guess at the weight of the whales, the water, and everything else in making his calculations.
Kirk: Spock! You, guessing? That’s extraordinary!
Spock (to McCoy): What did he mean by that?
McCoy: He means that he’s more comfortable with your guesses than most people’s facts.
Spock: So it was a compliment?
McCoy: Yes.
Spock: Well, then … I shall attempt to make the best guess I can.
This season of Enterprise is at least as good as any season of Voyager and better than most. I can’t say I’m sad it’s cancelled, but it’s honestly good now.
Anyway, earlier in the season, the show revisited the idea of the augmented humans like Kahn. (Brent Spiner starred as a geneticist who had raised some augment children.) Then, a few episodes ago, Dr. Phlox was kidnapped. He was taken to a Klingon research station where a plague had broken out. It turns out the Klingons there had been experimenting with creating their own genetic augments from human augment DNA. It gave them enhanced abilities, but also caused some physical changes (such as giving them human foreheads). It also spawned the plague that infected all the Klingons at the station.
Phlox managed to find a cure and save the day, but all those who had been infected suffered the mutated foreheads. Since the mutation was at the genetic level, the Klingons with the human foreheads would breed true for at least a few generations.
Kang, Koloth, and Kor must have had plastic surgery.
