Best Line in all of Trekdom
- Thread starter siskokid888
- Start date
from Call to Arms, after Sisko tells Weyoun he will not allow any more Dominion ships to come through the wormhole, Weyoun's response:
"You will not allow"
the sheer contempt in Weyoun's voice was fantastic - the very idea that someone would try and stop the Dominion doing what it liked.

"Well, that's the second time Man has been thrown out of Paradise."
"No, Bones, this time we walked out on our own. Maybe we weren't meant for paradise. Maybe we were meant to fight, struggle, claw our way up - scratch for every inch of the way."
"In every revolution, there's one man with a vision."
"They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they have done!"
And my personal favorite:
"The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play."

You dirty person, that one only happened in your... Awwww, you mean "Relics" ?
haha, that's what i was thinking
Absolutely! I should have put this. Now THAT was a line delivery.
"If I were human I believe the correct response would be go to hell. If I were human."
It's not a single line, but I love this scene. It sums up the outsider attitude toward the Federation and the much of the real world's attitude toward America:
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.

You know, in the 1960s, profanity was non-existent in prime time so that line had to have been a groundbreaker...
(Pointing to a swastika banner.) "Look at our destiny. The field of red; the purity of German blood. The blazing white circle of the Sun that sanctified that blood. No-one can deny us; no power on Earth or beyond. Not the Christian savior, not the God of the Jews. We are driven by the very force that gives life to the Universe itself."
