Trek XI Caption Contest #7: The In-Crowd

BECKETT: Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

KIRK: Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

BECKETT: Thank you, Kirk

KIRK: No problem whatsoever.

How does the voting work, cause mine definitely goes to this one. Such a classic.
There isn't any voting, per se. The winners are typically selected by the contest-runner, using criteria of his or her own choosing, and sometimes with input from a small number of other judges. However, the contests are really more about the exercise and about having some fun with ideas or playing with where the lines are drawn. If you want to point out one and say you really liked it, that's perfectly all right, too; the captioners enjoy hearing that someone got it.

Bribery also works.

How's 40 Quatloos sound?

Little Spock: "I myself am... strange and unusual"

SERGEANT:"Anyone here whose head ISN'T latex and rubber, please report to landing platform C.

That's landing platform "C." "

"This is the Central Scrutinizer. The White Zone is for loading and unloading only.
If you gotta load or unload, go to the White Zone. You'll love it. It's a way of life.
This is the Central Scrutinizer. The White Zone is for loading and unloading only... "

KIRK:"How long does this speech take? I'm getting sore knees over here."

McCOY:"I thought your girlfriends were the only ones who got sore knees, Jim?"

"I said leave the bangs long, so it would cover up my goofy eyebrows, but no they said the bowl look is in."

"Come back, Spock! An essential part of Vulcan discipline is learning to stand in order from the tallest to the shortest!"

YOUNG SPOCK:"I will meld with this Pedobear creature and convince him of the error of his ways."

McCOY:"Uh-OH..."

KIRK:"What? What's wrong?"

McCOY:"I left my bus pass back in Georgia. Dammit."

Dispatcher: ...Potatohead! Kirk! McCoy! Those of you whose names I have just called are to proceed
to the shuttle now boarding at Platform Five for Enterprise, Azusa and Cuc-a-mongaaaaaaa!

SERGEANT:"Alright...which one of you green plebes wants to carry the boxes of painted styrofoam rocks and Okudagrams over to Shuttle Five?"

Lt. Carson Beckett: "Now, one of you has been coming in a little hot lately, a little too hot, a little, um - oh I don't know, he's-burning-up-the-deck-with-his-skids-because-he-just-can't-pull-back-on-the-throttle hot. Now who is this speed demon?"
James T. Kirk: "That would be me, sir!"
[the other shuttle pilots catcall]
Beckett: "Kirk, you got a need for speed, do ya? Just can't wait to get back to the Big E and the loving embrace of your fellow shuttle pilots? Or maybe you have a hot date with your right hand?"
Kirk: "Hey, it never gets a headache!"
Beckett: "Tell you what, Kirk: you come in too hot today and you may have to start using your left. Okay, you've been fun, you've been a great audience, dismissed!"

Drill Sargent Beckett: For the last bleeding time, this is not a bloody Genii Uniform. Wrong franchise. Just because they both have "Star" in the title does not make them the same. Damn cadets can't tell the damn difference between a gate, a Trek, and Wars, anyway, where was I, oh right: You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station. Only a precise hit will set off a chain reaction. The shaft is ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes. I'm told it's just like shooting womp rats in your T-16s.

Sarek: Spock, your mother will need your help in the kitchen while I negotiate this peace treaty.
Spock:
But I was going into Tosche Station to purchase some power converters.
Sarek: That is an illogical use of your time. You may commence with more suitable leisure time activities with your peers upon the completion of your assigned chores.
