Simple enough. Just reply with your favorite trek quote, one per post please!

They can be funny, inspirational, sad, whatever. Just include the speaker, the quote,
and any relevant context for those of us who can't remember.

Quote from anything Trek, epidodes, movies, books, comics, whatever - just tell us
where its from!

To start us off.

From Star Trek: Generations, the movie

The engineering section of the Enterprise-D was just destroyed by a warp core
breach and the resultant shockwave disabled the fleeing saucer section's engines
before it could clear the nearby planet's gravitational field.

Data, with his new emotion chip running, sees the viewscreen angle ominously toward the surface
of Viridian II and declares...

"Oh ****."

    Most of Garak and Quarks are my favorite and I'd imagine they will be posted here....


    So a bashir quote to start off: best Trek satire one too

    "All right. Fine. But I can't wait to get back to Deep Space Nine and see your face when you find out that I never existed!"

    -Bashir, trials and tribblations


    "truth is an excuse for the lack of imagination" ---Garak

    "Mr. Spock, the women on your planet are logical. That's the only planet in the galaxy that can make that claim." -- Kirk (Elaan of Troyius)

    I don't recognize that one. Speaker? Context?




    While I'm at it, let me add another quote, also from Star Trek: Generations.

    After beholding the thoroughly displeased Klingon that was now thrashing
    about in the freezing, salty ocean water. Captain Picard commented dryly...

    "Number one, that's reatract the plank, not remove the plank."

    "Of course, sir."

    Romulan from DS9 "In the Pale Moonlight". Best Trek episode ever and the most Anti-Roddenberry Trek!

    Watch it on Youtube, hilarious scene when you factor in the acting.

    About the original quote, I didn't watch DS9 much, so why is that quote particularly memorable? I
    think I have an idea, but would enjoy reading an explanation.

    Nice quote. We're dominating with ST: Generation quotes.

    More from Soran: "I found a new truth... the predator has no teeth."

    Now that doesn't need any context. Bravo.

    Spock, I assume? It could also be Data.

    If I remember correctly, they tried to create a fake holo recording of a discussion in the dominion hq about attacking the romulans.

    Malcolm McDowell's character of Dr. Soran is easily one of my favorite Star Trek villains. Nevermind the fact that Mr. McDowell is a fantastic actor who really manages to pull off the sympthetic-yet-sinister villainous Doctor extremely well, his dialogue is severely underrated, imo.

    The Romulans were the only major power who stayed neutral in the Dominion War and signed a nonAggression pact with the Dominion. The fake Holo was to prove Dominion duplicity.

    This happened after Betazed fell to the Dominion and Vulcan was next.

    I know, I'll get everyone's interest with a sex- related quote.


    Once to Yar, and once to the borg queen! Data got more action
    than Riker.

    Data: "I am fully functional, programed in multiple techniques."

    My two favorite quotes come from the same episode of TNG: Parallels.

    "Captain, we're receiving 285,000 hails." -Wesley (counterpart)

    "At this rate, the sector will be completely filled with Enterprises within three days." -Data (counterpart)

    The ship is rattling and shaking as Sulu is pushs the Excelsior warp 6 engines to rescue the Enterprise.

    Captain Hikaru Sulu: In range?
    Helmsman Lojur: Not yet sir.
    Captain Hikaru Sulu: Come on, come on.
    Helmsman Lojur: She'll fly apart!
    Captain Hikaru Sulu: *Fly her apart then!*

    The one from my sigg - "There's an old saying: Fortune favors the bold. Well, I guess we're about to find out." (Cpt. Sisko - DS9)

    Garak's quotes:

    ''I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don't trust coincidences.''

    ''There comes a time when the odds are against you, and the only reasonable course of action is to quit!''

    ''The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination.''

    ''I always hope for the best. Experience, unfortunately, has taught me to expect the worst.''

    Picard's quotes:

    ''Duty. A starship captain's life is filled with solemn duty. I have commanded men in battle. I have negotiated peace treaties between implacable enemies. I have represented the Federation in first contact with twenty-seven alien species. But none of this compares with my solemn duty today... as best man. Now, I know, on an occasion such as this, it is expected that I be gracious and fulsome in my praise on the wonders of this blessed union, but have the two of you considered what you were doing to me? Of course you're happy, but what about *my* needs? This is all a damned inconvenience. While you're happily settling in on the Titan, I will be training my new first officer. You all know him. He's a tyrannical martinet who will never, *ever*, allow me to go on away missions.''

    ''So, five card stud, nothing wild. And the sky's the limit.''

    ''I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And *I* will make them pay for what they've done.''

    ''There... are... *four*... lights!''

    ''Mister Worf, dispatch a subspace message to Admiral Hansen - We have engaged the Borg.''

    ''I am Locutus - of Borg. Resistance - is futile. Your life, as it has been - is over. From this time forward, you will service - us.''

    Damar's quotes:

    ''And so two years ago, our government signed a treaty with the Dominion. In it the Dominion promised to extend Cardassia's influence throughout the Alpha Quadrant. In exchange, we pledged ourselves to join the war against the Federation and its allies. Cardassians have never been afraid of war, a fact we've proven time and again over these past two years. Seven million of our brave soldiers have given their lives to fulfill our part of the agreement, and what has the Dominion done in return? Nothing. We've gained no new territories. In fact, our influence throughout the quadrant has diminished. And to make matters worse, we are no longer masters in our own home. Travel anywhere in Cardassia and what do you find? Jem'Hadar, Vorta, and now Breen. Instead of the invaders, we have become the invaded. Our allies have conquered us without firing a single shot. Well, no longer. This morning, detachments of the Cardassian First, Third and Ninth Orders attacked the Dominion outpost on Rondac III. This assault marks the first step toward the liberation of our homeland, from the true oppressors of the Alpha Quadrant. I call upon Cardassians everywhere. Resist. Resist today. Resist tomorrow. Resist till the last Dominion soldier has been driven from our soil!''

    ''I'd like to toss that smug little Vorta out the nearest airlock. And his Founder with him.''

    ''I wouldn't trust a Cardassian that didn't enjoy a glass of kanar every once in a while.''

    And many more... :D

    There was a scene in the ortiginal star treks where there is a first contact situation and while the away team in riding from the bridge to the transporter room; Scotty says something; I dont remember the quote exactly; the dialogue is that they are talking about first encounter meetings and laughing about them; then Scotty says; "aye, but there was the <dont remember the race>; and you remember what happened there"

    kirk looks pained; McCoy grimaces; Spock raises an eyebrow and Chekov shudders and grimaces and they all nod; then the laughing totally is stopped and they ride on in silence trapped in the memory of it; Star Trek never mentions it in any other episode; been driving me crazy for decades; was hoping Enterprize would do a show on it; but they went the way of the lame ducks and the stupid time sequence avenue of poorly writtne shows.

    That quote was totally memorable; I so wanted them to do an episode of it; Anyone remember the details more clearly or the episode?

    Ohh man. Definately this one from City on the Edge of Forever.

    Kirk: "My friend is obviously Chinese. I see you've noticed the ears. They're actually easy to explain."
    Spock: "Perhaps the unfortunate accident I had as a child."
    Kirk: "The unfortunate accident he had as a child. He caught his head in a mechanical... rice picker. But fortunately, there was an American missionary living close by who was actually a, uh... skilled plastic surgeon in civilian life."
