"Star Trek" Movie Quotes Trivia Quiz

Answer: Decker

In "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", Kirk warns Decker about trying to meld with Voyager, but is reassured by Decker with these words. Within the confines of the movie, Voyager, a probe making its way back to Earth to seek its "creator", captures Decker's lost love, Ilia. By melding with Voyager, Decker will be able to meld with Ilia.

Answer: Chekov

When a probe enters the Enterprise in "Star Trek:The Motion Picture", Kirk tells Chekov to not interfere with the probe. Chekov looks incredulously at Kirk and makes his statement. It always seems that Chekov is being threatened or injured in most of the "Star Trek" films.

He is wounded in this movie with burns, in "II" with a parasite in his ear, and in "IV" when he falls almost to his death.

Answer: Scotty

After the crew begins to steal the Enterprise in "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock", Kirk makes a heartfelt plea to Sulu, Scott, and Chekov with the line "My friends...I can't ask you to go any further. Doctor McCoy and I have to do this, the rest of you do not..."

Chekov: Admiral...we're losing precious time.
Sulu: What course setting Admiral?
Scott: I'd be grateful Admiral if you'd give the word.

Kirk: Gentlemen...may the wind be at our backs...stations.

All characters at this point put the "good of the one..." (Spock) ahead of the "good of the many", which is the exact opposite of the Vulcan axiom.

Answer: McCoy

In "Star Trek VI", Spock asks McCoy to help him perform surgery on a photon torpedo, to which McCoy replies "fascinating" in an obvious dig at Spock's constant use of that phrase. The "surgery" of this photon torpedo causes the destruction of the villain Chang's vessel, thereby allowing the Enterprise to continue on and finally save the president of the Federation from assassination.

Answer: Spock

After Ilia is taken captive in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", and then returns as a type of probe, her responses become more computer-like, as she calls Kirk "Kirk-Unit" and the like. When alone for a moment with Decker, the probe utters "Decker", to which Spock responds with these words. Spock surmises that the love that Decker has for Ilia, and the love Ilia has for Decker, makes the Ilia probe more human than it appears.

Answer: McCoy

In "Star Trek VI", McCoy makes reference to this "no-win situation" that he and Kirk appear to be in. The "Kobyashi Maru" test is the final test that a cadet takes before graduation. Within the test lies a "no-win situation" to which there is no right or wrong answer, but a test of "character". Kirk, however, does not feel the test to be a fair or useful one, and, as a cadet, reprogrammed the simulator so that the test could be a "win-win" situation.

He received a "commendation for original thinking", but admits that he reprogrammed the test because he "doesn't believe in the 'no-win' scenario", not because he was trying to score points for "original thinking."

Answer: Kirk

McCoy - after Khan attacks the Enterprise in "Star Trek II" but is then forced to flee because of Kirk's ingenuity - comforts Kirk by saying that "you gave as good as you got." This forces Kirk's reply. This quote acknowledges Kirk's momentary guilt for being caught off guard in a moment of crisis. Essentially, he would not have had to "give as good as he got" if he had been more attune to the job at hand.

Answer: Sulu

In "Star Trek IV" Sulu reports that the ship is out of his control as it returns from 1986 Earth and hurtles toward the ocean outside of starfleet headquarters. The probe that, at the time, was vaporizing Earth's oceans, is disrupting all electrical elements on the crew's spacecraft. Indeed, after this quote, Kirk admits that their vessel is "out of control and as blind as a bat."

Answer: McCoy

In "Star Trek IV" McCoy wants to know what it felt like for Spock to be dead and then reborn, and Spock remarks that "It would be impossible to discuss the topic without a common frame of reference." McCoy is flabbergasted at Spock's response, and Spock's frame of mind illustrates that the "human" part of his soul must now be rebuilt to counter the Vulcan portion of his existence.

By the end of the film, Spock achieves this, and shows this is true by telling his father to report to his mother on Vulcan that "(He) feels fine", which is a very human response.

Answer: Star Trek VI

In "Star Trek VI" Kirk and McCoy are about to go on trial for the death of the Klingon chancellor Gorkon. An aide to the President says these words in the hopes of swaying the President to extract Kirk and McCoy in a military operation before the trial.

The Klingons would more than likely have responded as if the extraction were an act of war, so the President calmly agrees, but adds that "they shall save it again...by standing trial"
