    Shelby with a completely straight face: "Commander Data was available; I took him, we came."

    On a more serious note, I love "Our neural pathways have become accustomed to your sensory input patterns."

    I love some of the Bones/Spock insults.

    McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic Mr. Spock."
    Spock: "Really Doctor, I had no idea you were trained. Watching you work I assumed it was trial and error."

    Here it is, reposted from another thread (titled something like "the greatest Trek line ever":

    QUARK
    And the worst part is, my only
    hope for salvation... is the
    Federation.

    GARAK
    I know precisely how you feel.

    Quark suddenly gets an idea.

    QUARK
    Here, I want you to try something
    for me.

    Quark pulls out a glass and fulls it with a foamy brown
    liquid.

    QUARK
    Take a sip of this.

    Garak looks skeptically at the drink.

    GARAK
    What is it?

    QUARK
    A human drink. It's called root
    beer.

    GARAK
    (eyes it suspiciously)
    I don't know...

    QUARK
    Go ahead. Aren't you just a
    little bit curious?

    Garak hesitates a beat, but then takes a sip. He
    immediately makes a face.

    QUARK
    What do you think?

    GARAK
    It's vile.

    Quark is glad that someone agrees with him.

    QUARK
    I know.
    (searching for bad things to say)
    It's so bubbly and cloying and
    happy.

    GARAK
    Just like the Federation.

    QUARK
    But you know what's really
    frightening? If you drink enough
    of it, you start to like it.

    GARAK
    It's insidious.

    QUARK
    Just like the Federation.

    There's a long beat as the two aliens share their
    common bond.

    GARAK
    Do you think they'll be able to
    save us?

    QUARK
    (defeated)
    I hope so.

    Quark takes a sip of the root beer, then shudders.

    Generations: Soran:: (talking about time) It's like a predator; it's stalking you. Oh,you can try and outrun it with doctors, medicines, new technologies but in the end, time is going to hunt you down... and make the kill.

    A couple of Kirk lines that spring to mind:

    "What does God need with a starship?"

    "No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space."

    Good choices!

    The first one is one of the few shining moments in TFF. Shatner at his hammy, over-the-top best.

    The second is one of many shining moments in TVH. This is a great example of how humor can work in Trek. So many other attempts fail miserably because they are so forced but this subtle one works wonderfully.

    In no particular order and certainly not an exhaustive list:

    **************

    Fasinating

    Perhaps today IS a good day to die!

    Resistance is futile (tile pronounced as in floor covering, not the other way)

    You will become one with the Borg

    To boldly go.....

    I envy you

    And I (protracted I) will make them pay for what they've done

    Khaaaaaan !!
