Most Well-Acted/Spoken Line

"On the contrary. I'm a new man. I no longer have a need for conquest or power. I'm far beyond all that! I exist in a state of complete clarity, a clarity I intend to share with the universe!"
 
Not a big Beyond fan, but I did love this scene "Better to die saving lives than to live with taking them. That's what I was born into." -Kirk
 
Not one line in particular but always loved this little exchange.

What do you think?
It's vile.
I know. It's so bubbly and cloying and happy.
Just like the Federation.
But you know what's really frightening?
If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it.
It's insidious.
Just like the Federation.
Do you think they'll be able to save us?
I hope so.
 
"TIME! This is no time to be arguing about time! We don't have the time! ... What was I saying?"
"You're drunk."
"I...am...NOT!" <-- Marina delivers this line in an absolutely hilarious manner, like she's personally offended :lol:

And of course...

"It's a primitive culture! I'm just trying to blend in."
"Oh, you're blended, all right." :guffaw:

Jon and Marina have always had great Riker/Troi chemistry and this scene really brings that out, showing them interacting while they're not on duty. And it would have played out just the same had Riker been the one who was drunk. :lol:
 
Many of the lines mentioned here are extremely dramatic. There might be other quit, unemotional lines out there that don't nearly catch as much attention but that require a higher degree actorship of delivering them just right. (Just a thought, I unfortunately don't have any examples as of yet).
"Her belly may be full, but her spirit will be empty" - Picard about his Cardassian torturer's daughter. I've never heard anyone, in all of Star Trek, drop that hard on anybody so effortlessly
