Favourite Lines

[Bry_Sinclair]

I'm not sure if a thread like this exists anywhere else, but thought I'd ask it anyway!

What is your favourite line from any Trek episode or film?

Mine:
Female Q: What are you doing with that dog?
(Janeway and Q look at the animal on Janeway's lap)
Female Q: I'm not talking about the puppy!
(Horrified look from Janeway and Q)

It was a toss up between that and this:
Torres: Get the cheese to sickbay!
But the first was just brilliant in my opinion.

"Assimilate this!"

 

[Mark Antony]

"What you are doing here is unethical. It's immoral. I'll fight it."

Picard at his heroic and honourable best in The Drumhead.

 

[TiberiusMaximus]

"Sir, I protest. I am NOT a Merry Man!"

 

[Whoa Nellie]

It is a toss up between:

Riker: "What's a knock out like you doing in a computer generated gin-joint like this?"

Picard: "I would be delighted to offer any advice I can on understanding women. When I have some, I’ll let you know."

Vash: "This isn't a starship, Jean-Luc. I don't follow orders."

Warmest Wishes,
Whoa Nellie

Garak: I believe in coincidence. I just don't trust coincidence.
(or something like that)

Actually, just about anything by Garak is good.

Of course, there's the great one from McCoy about how many stars there are in the galaxy, and how there's only one of each of us. It's a whole lot better than that, but you get the idea.

I'll go with the classics:

"A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away." -- Dr. Philip Boyce, The Cage

"Leave any bigotry in your quarters. There's no room for it on the bridge." -- Captain Kirk, "Balance of Terror"

"I have a responsibility to this ship, to that man on the bridge. I am what I am, Leila. And if there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them. Mine can be no worse than someone else's." -- Spock, "This Side of Paradise"

"Well, it's . . it's, er. . . it's green." -- Scotty, "By Any Other Name"

 

[TiberiusMaximus]

"Just something I overheard while I was hemming someone's trousers."

 

[THE_FETT]

Bashir: They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle!
Garak: Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos.

 

[sbk1234]

"A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away." -- Dr. Philip Boyce, The Cage

Another one of my favorites. Defined Star Trek right from the begining.
I also love that one from Garak, Fett.

 

[JiNX-01]

Q: "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."

 

[sojourner]

"Well, it's . . it's, er. . . it's green." -- Scotty, "By Any Other Name"

^Really? because that's the exact answer Data gives to Scotty in "Relics" when asked what kind of alcohol he is serving!

 

[RegFan]

It rarely gets mentioned, but I really like this scene in Damage:
Alien Captain: You're stranding us three years from home! Why are you doing this?
Archer: Because I have no choice! Energize!
Of course, Archer and ENT as a whole are both so underappreciated.

Garak's lines are always pretty good.

 

[clever_username]

"And like a thousand other commanders on a thousand other battlefields, I wait for the dawn." Capt. Picard

 

[TiberiusMaximus]

Bashir: "I can't wait to get back to Deep Space Nine and see the look on your face when you realize I never existed!"

Riker: "Only a veruul would use such language in public."

Picard: "Mr. Data?"
Data: "Yes sir?"
Picard: "Shut up."

Data: "Resistance...is futile."

 

[Mysterion]

From, IIRC, DSN's Inter Arma Silent Legis:


BASHIR (to Sloan): Well next time I'll do it with hand-puppets just for you.

[Rett Mikhal]

I've always liked the exchange at the end of "The Chase", one of my favorite episodes. Romulan Captain: "It would seem that we are not completely dissimilar after all; in our hopes, or in our fears." Picard: "Yes..." Romulan Captain: "Well then perhaps, one day..." Picard: "...one day..." As much as I love the Romulans for their complete douchebaggery, I also like the fact there are some who realize they can't be bullies forever and eventually they gotta grow up and be brothers in arms with the Federation. As for funny lines, The Doctor losing his memories in "The Swarm" is my personal favorite. (Looks over a dead man.) Doctor: "He's a sick man. This is where sick people go."

i'm a Doctor not a commando

i'm a Doctor not a historian

[SPCTRE]

EMH: Divine intervention is unlikely.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Kevin Uxbridge's speech at the end of "The Survivors":

No, no, you don't understand the scope of my crime. I didn't kill just one Husnock, or a hundred, or a thousand...I killed them ALL. All Husnock, everywhere. Are a thousand people worth 50 billion? Is the love of a woman worth the destruction of an entire species?
