Favorite ST one liners

Commander
Red Shirt
(1966-present)

Of course there cannot just be one so I won't go there. Whatever comes to mind. Only request, try to provide as much context as possible? Such as series, season, episode etc. People new to Trek might find that helpful.

This ain't a poll. I just want to create an updated quick reference of sorts from real Trekkies.

For no reason whatsoever. I'll start off:

DS9 | S2 Ep22 | The Wire

[Dr. Julian Bashir : You know, I still have a lot of questions to ask you about your past.
Elim Garak : I have given you all the answers I'm capable of!
Dr. Julian Bashir : You've given me answers all right; but they were all different. What I want to know is, out of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?
Elim Garak : My dear Doctor, they're all true.
Dr. Julian Bashir : Even the lies?]
...
Elim Garak : Especially, the lies.

 
"It's unethical to harm a patient; I can inflict as much pain as I like." [Phlox]

"Perhaps today is a good day to die... PREPARE FOR RAMMING SPEED!" [Worf]

"I assume that your handprint will open this door whether you are conscious or not." [Data]

"Your honor, a courtroom is a crucible. In it, we burn away irrelevancies until we are left with a pure product: the truth, for all time." [Picard]

"Don't you people from the 24th century ever pee?" [Zephram Cochrane]

The latter is funny because, as far as I know, in three TV shows and seven movies, no one ever mentioned going to the bathroom once until then.
 
" I suppose Starfleet officers aren't used to getting their hands dirty..."
--Major Kira to Commander Sisko, DS9 Ep 1x01 (Emissary)
 
"If all of your little advertisements aren't purged from our system by the time I get back from the Gamma Quadrant, I will come to Quark's, and believe me... I WILL have fun." [Kira]

"Delete the wife." [Janeway]
 
Also from Kira, though not strictly a one liner:
"The Cardassians left behind a lot of injured people, Doctor. You can make yourself useful by bringing your Federation medicine to the natives. Oh, you'll find them a friendly, simple folk."

I always thought Kira showed remarkable restraint here for not decking Bashir where he stood.

I happen to be in love Kira. So you have no argument from me.

"Friendly, simple folk" Was this Kira Nerys or Nana Visitor? In either case, thank you. Excellently noticed.
