MCCOY: Captain, I....
MCCOY: But I've got one. Something I seldom say to a customer, Jim. In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that, and perhaps more, only one of each of us. Don't destroy the one named Kirk.
(Oddly enough, I wanted to say that to Shatner when he made an appearance at StarFest Denver shortly before they were to reshoot the ending for Generations, but didn't get up in line in time. Or I didn't think of it until afterwards, I'm not sure...)

ROMULAN: A signal, Commander.
KIRK: Power on. Reverse course. He'll try to slip under us.
SULU: Lateral power, sir.
STILES: Coming around, sir.
KIRK: Phasers, fire.

DECIUS: We are beaten. Can it be true? The Praetor's finest and proudest flagship beaten.
DECIUS: Yes Commander, but only for self-destruction.
