Little Green Men Line-by-Line

QUARK: My hero.

 

ODO: Can we please leave now?

 

[Outside Hangar 18]

NOG: You're sure they're going to be detonating an atomic bomb today?

 

GARLAND: That's what it said in the paper. Five a.m. at the proving grounds in Nevada. But I don't see how an atomic bomb is going to help you get home.

 

ROM: It's simple: we need to harness the beta radiation to trigger a cascade...

 

QUARK: Save your breath. It's much too complicated for them to grasp.

 

CARLSON: Five a.m. That's seven minutes from now.

 

ROM: Don't worry. We'll get there.

 

QUARK: Thanks for your help. You may be humans, but you're okay by me.

 

GARLAND: You don't have to thank us. I only hope that one day mankind will travel to the stars, and take its place in a vast alliance of planets.

 

ROM: *Federation* of Planets.

 

GARLAND: Excuse me?

 

QUARK: Don't pay any attention to him, he's an idiot. Trust me, the galaxy is a pretty rough place. You people are much better off staying right here on Earth.

 

ODO: Let's go, Quark.
(The aliens leave.)

 

CARLSON: A vast alliance of planets. You get the craziest ideas.

(They kiss, then drive off as shuttle crashes through the hangar roof and flies off.)

 

[Outside the building]

WAINWRIGHT: What do we do now, General?

 

DENNING: About what, Captain? All we ever found was a crashed weather balloon.

 

[Ferengi shuttle]

ODO: Tell me again. What's going to happen when we get there?

 

ROM: We fly straight into the atomic explosion, expose the kemacite to the beta radiation and engage the warp engines. If we have enough kemacite, we should be able to create a reverse time warp and ride it home.
