If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are.

Don't even have to write it.

^Was it "Not Now Meridith!"?

"Come on! There has to be another way out of this! You people have rituals for everything except waste extraction!"
Quark talking about Klingons

Close I think it was

"Not now, Madeline!"

"Let him dream" -
Robert Picard, "Family"

"I thought you said people like us don't have family."
"I was wrong."
McCoy and Kirk, STV:TFF

"I don't want you to take my pain away. I NEED MY PAIN".
Kirk, STV:TFF
(that movie has so many great lines)

"The sky's the limit"
Picard, "All Good Things"

"Starfleet was founded to seek out new life. Well, there it sits!"
Picard, "The Measure of a Man"

"Double dumb-ass on you!"

Mr. Laser Beam · August 31 2012, 10:24 PM

"Spock, where the hell's the power you promised me?"
"One damn minute, Admiral."

"Are you sure this isn't a good time for a colorful metaphor?"

Flying Spaghetti Monster · September 1 2012, 05:57 AM

"I'm sure you've brought one of those famed Starfleet engineers that can turn rocks into replicators."

An hilarious line from William Rotsler's Star Trek Short Stories. Admiral Tatenen, warning Admiral Kirk about the friendish Klingons: "You give them a parsec and they'll take a light-year, son!"

What a cautious bunch! (1 parsec is 3.26 light years. Did not do research!)

The sad part is I wouldn't have known there was anything wrong with that Trekified expression had it not been pointed out to me.

In Deja Q, Worf's response is legendary, and Q's comeback here is cute, making the below exchange my favorite:

"I have no powers. Q, the ordinary."
"Q, the liar. Q, the misanthrope."
"Q, the miserable. Q, the desperate. What must I do to convince you people?"
"Die."
"Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books, lately?"

Another one of my favorites - and I'm going from memory, so I may not have it exactly: from "The Ultimate Computer":

Spock (to Kirk): "Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no desire to serve under them. A starship runs on many things, including loyalty to a man. One man. And nothing can ever replace it. Or him."

sbk1234 · September 3 2012, 03:56 PM

By memory, but you'll get the idea:

"We found intelligent life everywhere in the galaxy, except the programming offices of NBC."
