Best line in star trek hstory

Spock's delivery of "Live long and prosper" (to the Vulcan science council), in the most sarcastic tone imaginable, in ST XI.

Picard's final speech to the court in TNG's "Measure of a Man."

Data (ST:FC): "Believing oneself to be perfect...is often the sign of a delusional mind."

Sarek (ST XI): "You once asked me why I married your mother...I married her because I loved her."
 
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.

McCoy, "Balance of Terror"
 
"You and I are of a kind, Captain. In another reality, I would have called you 'friend.'" The Romulan Commander in "Balance of Terror"
 
I like it this one:

CAPTAIN SULU: Target that explosion and fire!

(Well, it was an invisible target ...)

A personal favorite of mine.:techman:
 
Pike: Now you're beginning to talk like a doctor, bartender.

Dr. Boyce: Take your choice. They both get the same two kinds of customers...the living and the dying.

(The Cage/Menagerie)
 
Best unfilmed rant, from the Star Trek (2009) script, when Kirk climbs from his escape pod and realizes Spock marooned on Delta Vega:

KIRK: SONOFABITCH-BITCH-BITCH! THERE'S NOTHING HERE!!! YOU NECK-PINCHING MOTHERF--!!!

(smash cut to next scene)
 
"We have not lost the Enterprise Mr Worf, we are not going to lose the Enterprise. Not to the Borg, not while I'm in command".
 
My all-time favourite:

"It's never easy, but if we turn our backs on our principles we stop being human." - Captain Janeway, "Equinox"

A few others:

"I don't compromise with Borg." - Captain Janeway, "Unimatrix Zero"

"We are what we are and we're doing the best we can. It is not for you to set the standard by which we should be judged." - Captain Picard

"Com par miso, Capitan. The hall is rented, the orchestra engaged. Now it's time to see if you can dance." - Q, "Q Who?"
 
"Resisistance.... is futile. But I love it when you try." - then Seven of Nine (possessed by the Borg Queen, who just happens to be Admiral Janeway) kisses Picard. From the notoriously nutty TNG novel Before Dishonor.
 
From "Measure of a Man", after Picard's final speech, when he leans over to the JAG Captain and says "You wanted the chance to make law, here it is. Make it a good one".
