Franchise Only Dialogue You Use In Real Life...

"Fascinating", "Indeed", "Resistance is futile".

From other franchises, "These are not the ..... you are looking for", "Game over, man ! Game over !" , "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.", "Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so." and as I have a friend called Dave, "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
 
Does it count to, when someone cuts me off on the road, wish my vehicle had photon torpedoes?
Sounds like you'd enjoy Alan Dean Foster's short story, "Why Johnny Can't Speed." It's in his first anthology, With Friends Like These.

I don't do any turbolift schtick, but (pre-pandemic), I had a habit of blowing on automatic doors (Riley, from "The Naked Time," TOS season 1).
 
Quoting Marta from TUC when I am in a hurry: Come on. We don't have a lot of time!
- I often find myself using this phrase, too (mainly to my lackadaisical sister). I'm also quite partial to muttering Scotty's "Up your shaft" (from STIII) to someone who's said/done something I don't approve of (once they're out of earshot, of course), and Spock's "That much is certain" (STIV) when in agreement.
 
That was going to be my next one added here. I had one of those moments with a self checkout yesterday.

Being behind someone clogging regular traffic flow driving UNDER the SP, I'll safely pass them thinking; I... Have had... Enough of you!
 
I'm not sure if I quote anything from Trek, but I do a mean Picard facepalm
I have a few quotes from other franchises, however...
"You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means" - Inigo Montoya
"I'll be Back" - Shwartzenator
"Its a trap!" - a certain fishy commander
"This too good for you!" - a goat guy in the original Diablo game
"Mr.Stark, I don't feel so good..." - Spiderman
That last one usually right after I ate too much. I use 'fascinating' a lot, but I've been using it for so long, I'm not sure if I got it from Spock, or he got it from me. LOL

UPDATE: I actually use that^ one more than just when driving. ;)

New, Thanksgiving cannot occur without me saying... There is a turkey in the oven! Real Turkey!
 
...I've never yet seen, much less tried, "He tasks me and I shall have him" on any personals ad...
 
When someone tells me that we'll have to do something unpleasant, all I can think of to say is:
"Sounds like fun."

In an automobile accident once, my last words were "this is fun" and "red alert, brace for impact!" (followed by "brown alert"*...)

Of course, those words were also never used on any personals ad...


* note that that phrase, along with "this is fun" were not dropped, metaphorically or otherwise.
