Shelby with a completely straight face: "Commander Data was available; I took him, we came."

On a more serious note, I love "Our neural pathways have become accustomed to your sensory input patterns."

From The Drumhead
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."

And Remember Me
Crusher: "If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe."

I never realised that one, absolutely hilarious!!

 

[Praetor]

How could I forget this.

Shame on me.

 

[Plum]

I love some of the Bones/Spock insults.

McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic Mr. Spock."
Spock: "Really Doctor, I had no idea you were trained. Watching you work I assumed it was trial and error."

In DS-9, when Garek and Quark are discssing the finer points of Root Beer...

 

[Plum]

^^^
Oh yea, that was great stuff. I can't remember it all, hope someone posts that!

 

[Astraea]

Here it is, reposted from another thread (titled something like "the greatest Trek line ever":

QUARK
And the worst part is, my only
hope for salvation... is the
Federation.

GARAK
I know precisely how you feel.

Quark suddenly gets an idea.

QUARK
Here, I want you to try something
for me.

Quark pulls out a glass and fulls it with a foamy brown
liquid.

QUARK
Take a sip of this.

Garak looks skeptically at the drink.

GARAK
What is it?

QUARK
A human drink. It's called root
beer.

GARAK
(eyes it suspiciously)
I don't know...

QUARK
Go ahead. Aren't you just a
little bit curious?

Garak hesitates a beat, but then takes a sip. He
immediately makes a face.

QUARK
What do you think?

GARAK
It's vile.

Quark is glad that someone agrees with him.

QUARK
I know.
(searching for bad things to say)
It's so bubbly and cloying and
happy.

GARAK
Just like the Federation.

QUARK
But you know what's really
frightening? If you drink enough
of it, you start to like it.

GARAK
It's insidious.

QUARK
Just like the Federation.

There's a long beat as the two aliens share their
common bond.

GARAK
Do you think they'll be able to
save us?

QUARK
(defeated)
I hope so.

Quark takes a sip of the root beer, then shudders.

^^ That may well be my favorite scene in all of Trek.

 

[Lightinspire]

Generations: Soran:: (talking about time) It's like a predator; it's stalking you. Oh,you can try and outrun it with doctors, medicines, new technologies but in the end, time is going to hunt you down... and make the kill.

 

[Jeri]

They can't do nuthin' till they're done spahklin'...

 

[TheSeeker]

A couple of Kirk lines that spring to mind:

"What does God need with a starship?"

"No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space."

 

[Gorf]

Dismissed. That's a Starfleet expression for 'get out'.
Janeway to Neelix in The Cloud

 

[erastus25]

How did we get to the second page without this gem?!?!?:

"Brain and Brain! Whati is Brain?!"

 

[Thor Damar]

"Good bye, Major. You and I on the same side? It never seemed quite... right - did it?"

 

[kissthestar]

"The more complex the mind, the more the need for the simplicity of play." Shore Leave, Kirk

 

[Joemac]

has 2 b nice to meet u pinocchio. riker 2 data farpoint episode 1&2

 

[T'Cal]

A couple of Kirk lines that spring to mind:

"What does God need with a starship?"

"No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space."

Good choices!

The first one is one of the few shining moments in TFF. Shatner at his hammy, over-the-top best.

The second is one of many shining moments in TVH. This is a great example of how humor can work in Trek. So many other attempts fail miserably because they are so forced but this subtle one works wonderfully.

 

[PKTrekGirl]

Not so much my favorite line as one of my favorite speeches:

"Cardassians have never been afraid of war, a fact we've proven time and again over these past two years. 7 million of our brave soldiers have given their lives to fulfill our part of the agreement, and what has the Dominion done in return? Nothing. We've gained no new territories. In fact, our influence throughout the Quadrant has diminished. And to make matters worse, we're not even masters in our own home. Travel anywhere in Cardassia and what do you find? Jem'Hadar, Vorta, and now Breen. Instead of the invaders, we have become the invaded. Our allies have conquered us without firing a single shot. Well, no longer. This morning, detachments of the Cardassian First, Third, and Ninth Orders attacked Dominion outposts on Rondack 3. This assault marks the first step towards the liberation of our homeland from the true oppressors of the Alpha Quadrant. I call upon Cardassians everywhere - Resist. Resist today. Resist tomorrow. Resist till the last Dominion soldier has been driven from our soil."

Legate Damar launching the Cardassian Liberation Front.

That was one helluva speech.

One thing you can say for Damar...he had a REALLY classy exit.

In no particular order and certainly not an exhaustive list:

Fasinating

Perhaps today IS a good day to die!

Resistance is futile (tile pronounced as in floor covering, not the other way)

You will become one with the Borg

To boldly go.....

I envy you

And I (protracted I) will make them pay for what they've done

Khaaaaaan !!
