'Star Trek' - Quotes
'This is no time to talk about time. We don't have the time! ...What was I saying?' | 'Star Trek' Quotes
|
Deanna Troi. Said to Riker after she's had a few too many drinks with Zephram Cochrane. (movie 'Star Trek: First Contact')
(singing) 'Life forms! You tiny little life forms! You precious little life forms! Where are you?' | 'Star Trek' Quotes
|
Data. In 'Star Trek: Generations', Data still hasn't gotten the hang of his new emotions. So he laughs and is joyous at inopportune times.
Saavik. From 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'
Commodore Matt Decker. TOS ep 'The Doomsday Machine'
Logic is a little tweeting bird, chirping in a meadow. Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell BAD. Are you sure your circuits are functioning correctly? Your ears are green. | 'Star Trek': Who's Spock Talking To?
|
Norman the Android. Trying to confuse his logic circuits in TOS ep 'I, Mudd'.
Kirk. in 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan', as he's dying in Engineering.
McCoy. in 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture'.
Kirk. In STIV:TVH, when Kirk said 'If we play our cards right, we may be able to find out when those whales are being released.'
Sarek. To his father, after his operation in TOS ep 'Journey to Babel', asking why he'd marry such an emotional woman. 'At the time, it seemed the logical thing to do,' was Sarek's reply. (Although Vulcan's profess a complete supression of emotions, it certainly sounded like they were poking fun at Amanda.)
Kirk. in STIV:TVH, as Kirk is selling his antique reading glasses to a 20th century pawn dealer.
Gul Madred. The Gul tortured Captain Picard in the "Next Generation" episode "Chain of Command, Part 2." He used the technique of showing Picard four lights, then tryed to make Picard believe he actually saw five. After being released, Picard admitted to Counselor Troi that there were times that he believed that he actually saw five lights. The sequence with Madred/Picard is an homage to George Orwell' "1984."
Herbert. Spock had the awkward task of informing Kirk that a "Herbert" is someone with rigid and limited patterns of thought. The hippies had other interesting phrases, like "that's real now", and "I reach that, baby!"
Popinjay. A "popinjay" is a vain and talkative person. In the same episode, Scotty said "the haggis has hit the fire for sure."
Grups. The children were understandably suspicious of adults, because all the adults of their planet went violently insane due to a disease. Kirk had to make one of his famous speeches to convince them he was not an enemy (although the kids beat him up a bit first).
Lenore Karidian. This is from the episode "The Conscience of a King" in season one in which Lenore Karidian tries to seduce Kirk because he is a witness to her father's crimes and she intends to kill him. The conversation continues:
Lenore: "All this power at your command, yet the decisions that you have to make..."
Kirk: "Come from a very human source."
Lenore: "Are you, Captain? Human?"
Kirk: "You can count on it."
Elaan. "Elaan of Troyius" again, my apologies, but it is a good one! Kirk and Elaan have a confrontation in her cabin as he tries to continue teaching her and she refuses to learn. She runs off into another room and locks the door, warning him never to touch her again, to which he replies: "if I touch you again, Your Glory, it'll be to administer an ancient Earth custom called a "spanking," a form of punishment administered to spoiled brats." She follows him out again, asking him to teach her how to make people like her, and then starts to cry. Elasian women's tears have the capacity to make a man fall in love with them forever if they touch him, and Kirk lifts a hand to wipe a tear from her face, and consequently falls head over heels in love. She asks him with a smile: "This Earth custom called spanking, what is it?" and he bumblingly responds: "it's... I'll tell you later." and kisses her.
Spock. This is from the episode "Journey to Babel" in season two, and actually refers to Spock's mother. Spock has just saved his father's life by donating the blood necessary for him to have a crucial heart operation. This was not an easy decision to make, since Spock was in charge of the Enterprise following an attack on Kirk which left the latter momentarily incapacitated. Kirk pretended to be well enough to take command in order to let Spock off the hook and allow him to save his father. Spock's mother Amanda has been caught up helpless in the middle of it all, desperately worried for her husband's health and frustrated that the two men in her life still won't talk to each other. After the operation, when Sarek won't thank his son for saving him since it was a logical thing to do, she cracks and starts mouthing off at the pair of them and expressing her frustration. This is met with total incomprehension by the two men. The dialogue between Spock and his father Sarek goes:
Spock: "Emotional, isn't she?"
Sarek: "She always was"
Spock: "Indeed? Why did you marry her?"
Sarek: "It seemed the logical thing to do."
