Q: Best Lines

Whizkid

Commander
Red Shirt
I apologise if there's already a thread to this effect. Will check.

For now, I'll start off:

Picard: Return that moon to its orbit!
Mortal Q: I have no powers! Q, the ordinary!
Picard: Q, the liar; Q, the misanthrope!
Mortal Q: Q, the miserable; Q, the desperate!
... What must I do to convince you people?!

Worf: "Die!"
Riker: (smirks)
Mortal Q: "Oh, very clever Worf! Eat any good books lately?"
 
Q: Come here. There's something I want to show you. You see this?
(it's a sludge filled pond filled with multicolored oozes like what's behind a Jefferson Airplane music video*)
Q: This is you. (Picard is taken aback) I'm serious! Right here, life is about to form on this planet for the very first time. A group of amino acids are about to combine and form the first protein, the building blocks of what you call life. Strange, isn't it? Everything you know, your entire civilisation, it all begins right here in this little pond of goooo. Appropriate, somehow, isn't it? Too bad you didn't bring your microscope, it's really quite fascinating! ... Oh, look, there they go. The amino acids are moving closer and closer, and closer. Oh! Nothing happened. See what you've done?
PICARD: Are you saying that I caused the anomaly, and that the anomaly somehow disrupted the beginnings of life on Earth?
Q: (drily) Congratulations.

Hahahahaha! Best response! I was just listening to Bohemian Rhapsody. But JeffA is just so cool!

Thanks for this Qonundrum! It's been centuries since I heard that song and it's perfect within the context of this post.

I guess I'm simply trying to get everyone to like ST: Picard.
 
"Is this a ship of the Valkyries, or have you human women finally done away with your men altogether?" [Death Wish]

Folks, if you're going to post in this thread, Please cite the episode. Not everyone has memorized the scripts for 800+ episodes.
 
Retroactively did so. Here's one from "The Q and the Gray"
"I was wondering, Kathy. What could anyone possibly see in this big oaf, anyway? Is it the tattoo? Because mine's BIGGER!"
 
An exchange in Deja-Q said:
Q: Don't fret Riker. My good fortune is your good fortune.

Riker: I don't need your fantasy women, Q.

Q: You've become so stolid, Commander. You weren't like this before the beard.
Such a meta joke lol
 
Considering the messes that Riker's gotten into with real women (remember "The Game"?), Q's fantasy women don't seem so bad.

Here's one: "I can't disappear any more than you could win a beauty contest."
(said to Worf, in "Deja Q")
 
Season 5 episode 1 - Redemption part 2

Gowron: Perhaps...BUT NOT TODAY...

Could be my favorite quote in all Star Trek...Gowron and Kern are my favorite for sure...
 
But are they Q?

Before turning her into a dog in "True Q", he threw Beverly this little gem, also in "Deja Q"...
"Your bedside manner is admirable, Doctor. I'm sure your patients recover quickly just to get away from you!"
 
Star Trek - The Search for Spock

Kirk: I...Have Had...ENOUGH...OF YOU...

"You ask me why it matters? It matters to me. YOU matter to ME."

It's a :wah: scene. Total waterworks. Probably my favorite line Q has ever spoken.

"Even gods have favorites, Jean-Luc. And you've always been one of mine."

I’m not a fan of Q but he does have some of the best wisecracks.
Some quotes from TNG and beyond....

Q to Data: I’ll have ten hot fudge sundaes. --Deja Q

Q to Worf: Please don’t feel compelled to tell me the story of the boy who cried Worf. --Deja Q

Q to Janeway: Did anyone ever tell you you’re angry when you’re beautiful? --Death Wish

Q to Janeway: Foreplay with a Q can last for decades. --the Q and the Grey

Q to Sisko: You hit me – Picard never hit me! --Q-less

Female Q to Q: What are you doing with that dog…I’m not talking about the puppy. --the Q and the Grey
