That's a great moment. Mark Lenard really sells how hard it is for Sarek to speak in more emotional terms--but how far he and Spock have come since "Journey to Babel." He accepts his son's more human sentiments without criticism, even if he can't quite lower his own Vulcan reserve that far.
nuSarek: You once asked me why I married your mother. I married her because I loved her. nuSpock (in a clearly "Go to hell" tone, addressing the science council): ...Live long and prosper.
"Victory was within our grasp!!" - Gul Dukat One of my favourite, most important moments in DS9. I almost feel for Dukat that, despite his arrogance, he almost did win. ""You know, there are some words I've known since I was a schoolboy: 'With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured...the first thought forbidden...the first freedom denied--chains us all irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie, as wisdom...and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged. I fear that today" - Picard "Sir, may I say your attempt to hold the away team at bay, with a non-functioning weapon, was an act of unmitigated gall." "Didn't fool you, huh?" "I admire gall." - Worf & Kevin Uxbridge "Im sorry if I interrupted another waltz" - Picard [I found this hilarious] I could fill pages, So I will stop. For a bit.
"In my opinion, you have taken this important project far too lightly." "On the contrary, sir. I think of this project as very important. It is you I take lightly." - Baris and Kirk, on the security measures for the grain
"No, no, no, you don't understand the scope of my crime...I didn't kill just one Husnock, or a hundred, or a thousand. I killed them ALL." - Kevin Uxbridge
Agreed, Greg. He shows it even more so in the next lines, where Sarek asks Spock if he has a message for his mother, and Spock says "Tell her I feel fine". Lenard's non-response shows both his reticence, and his understanding.
One more, from Jean-Luc in "The Defector": "If the cause is just and honorable, they are prepared to give their lives. Are you prepared to die today Tomalak?"
From Way of the Warrior: Bashier: they broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle. Garak:ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos. Bushier: Garak, this isn't funny. Garak:I'm serious, doctor. Thanks to your administrations I'm almost completely healed, but the damage I did to them will last a lifetime.
Sisko: "It's easy to be a saint in paradise." (A line so good it's easy to forget it came from Trek.)
This exchange between B'elanna and Seven from 'Someone to watch over me' regarding sevens observations of tom and b'elannas relationship: B'elanna (reading from padd): stardate 52647, 1400 hours: subjects quarrel in corridor. Male returns with twelve flowering plant stems, species rosa rubifolia, effecting a cessation of hostilities. Stardate 52648, 0300 hours intimate relations resume - how the hell do you know when we are having intimate relations? Seven: there is no one on deck 9 section 12 who *doesn't* know when you are having intimate relations and another from 'tsunkatse': seven: "I haven't overpacked. I simply wish to be prepared for any contingency." Tom:"And... what contingency is this for?" seven:"That's an isomodulator – enhanced to correct hull ablation in the event we encounter a meteroid stream." tom: "Well, couldn't you just replicate an isomodulator?" seven:"I prefer this one." tom:"Oh, I get it! You like to have your own things with you – B'Elanna's the same way. You know, she'd never admit it, but she still takes a stuffed animal with her whenever she's gonna be away for more than a day: 'Toby the targ.'" seven:"...can "Toby the targ" correct hull ablation? Your comparison is flawed."
Worf: You used to be Curzon Dax. Dax: That's right, and I don't usually dress like this either. Worf: Curzon's name is an honored one among my people. Dax: Yeah, but I'm a lot better looking than he was.
"Are you sure that's the point?" "What else could it be?" "That you should never tell the same lie twice." -Garak and Bashir from "Improbable Cause" --Sran
