"Oh, shit."
Best Line in all of Trekdom

- Start date
^ Aww... I looked through the whole thing to find that one cause I was gonna use it.
Ok, here's another one from the same movie:
After data pushes crusher over the side of the boat, he turns to Geordi.
"Geordi, that was?"
"NOT funny."
Best part of that line was that I was in the theater, and EVERYONE was laughing.

My fav Trek line also comes from this very episode:
BASHIR: Be careful, Constable. I'm sure the klingons wouldn't mind singing a few songs about killing you.
ODO: Doctor, if a klingon were to kill me, I would expect nothing less than an entire opera on the subject.
Other great Trek lines:
KIRK: Risk is our business and that is why we are aboard her (the Enterprise)
WORF (explaining Klingon mating rituals to Wesley): And they hurl heavy objects.
SISKO (to Kira in "The Maquis" part 2): It's easy to be a saint in paradise.
JANEWAY: There's coffee in that nebula. (I thought it summarized the premise of Voyager being in the unknown pretty well.)
ARCHER (to T'pol): Take your Vulcan Cynicism and bury it with the rest of your repressed emotions.
"Paradise....never seemed so well armed"
Whoa, dude, you kinda just freaked me out a bit right now...
You judge yourselves against the pitiful adversaries you've encountered so far, the Romulans, the Klingons. They're nothing compared to what's waiting. Picard, you are about to move into areas of the galaxy containing wonders more incredible than you can possibly imagine...and terrors to freeze your soul.
--Q, Q Who?
If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous - with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.
--Q, Q Who?
Then I will delete the appropriate program.
--Data to D'Sora, In Theory
Bashir: But the point is, if you lie all the time, nobody's going to believe you, even when you're telling the truth.
Garak: Are you sure that's the point, doctor?
Bashir: Of course, what else could it be?
Garak: That you should never tell the same lie twice.
--Bashir & Garak, Improbable Cause

"Up until about 100 years ago, there was one question that burned in every human, that made us study the stars and dream of traveling to them. Are we alone? Our generation is privileged to know the answer to that question. We are all explorers driven to know what's over the horizon, what's beyond our own shores. And yet the more I've experienced, the more I've learned that no matter how far we travel, or how fast we get there, the most profound discoveries are not necessarily beyond that next star. They're within us, woven into the threads that bind us, all of us, to each other. The final frontier begins in this hall. Let's explore it together."

"All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by... take away the wind and the water, it's still the same... the ship is yours... you can feel her... and the stars are still there..."

That scene is one of my favorites...
^^^^Mine, too. That's the scene where I first understood Trek was about something more than space monsters and ray guns.
As for the thread:
From "The Cage/Menagerie":
Dr. Boyce: "A man either lives life as it happens to him...Meets it head on and licks it, or turns his back on it and starts to wither away."
Pike: "Now you're beginning to sound like a doctor, bartender."
Boyce: "Take your choice. They both get the same two types of customers: The living, and the dying."

A few of my favorites:
Quark: No, this is my disruptor pistol, the one I used to carry in the old days when I was serving on that Ferengi freighter.
Odo:I thought you were the ship's cook.
Quark:That's right, and every member of that crew thought he was a food critic. If the Klingons try to get through these doors, I'll be ready for them. (Opens box, which is empty save for a note)
Odo
Takes the note, reads aloud) 'Dear Quark, I used parts of your disruptor to repair the replicators, will return them soon. -Rom'
Quark:I will kill him!
Odo:With what?
Elim Garak: Well, let me guess. You're either lost, or desperately searching for a good tailor.
and later:
Elim Garak: I'm serious, doctor! Thanks to your ministrations I'm almost completely healed but the damage I did to them will last a lifetime.

This truly is a great dialogue.
I think it sums up all of Star Trek so well....at least from the perspective of those outside the Federation.
My own person favorite quote is also from DS9 (no big surprise there, huh?)
Sisko (realizing he is vastly outnumbered by Dominion forces): "There's an old saying....'Fortune favors the bold'. Well. I guess we're about to find out."
My favorite exchange is from ENT: Fallen Hero (it's a bit of a paraphrase) because it shows how far the two characters have come in a short time -
T'Pol (with quiet intensity): Captain. In all the months I've served on this ship, I have never asked you for anything. I'm asking now. Don't return the Ambassador to Mazar. Please.
Archer (nodding once, walking to wall communicator): Mr. Mayweather, change of course. . .
But honestly, I think JiNX's suggestion from ENT:Terra Prime is the best in the whole franchise.

Call anybody you want, they can't do anything to me, not any more, and nor can any of you. I am a Human being, dammit! You can deny me all you want but you can't deny Ben Sisko – He exists! That future, that space station, all those people – they exist in here! (pointing to his head) In my mind. I created it. And everyone of you knew it, you read it. It's here. (pointing to his head again) Do you hear what I'm telling you? You can pulp a story but you cannot destroy an idea, don't you understand, that's ancient knowledge, you cannot destroy an idea. (becoming hysterical) That future – I created it, and it's real! Don't you understand? It is real. I created it. And it's real! It's REAL! Oh God" (he collapses)
