This is where you can post your nominations for the best lines out of trek, from any series.I can't think of too many right now but two definetes would be:

TNG
"Skin Of Evil"
This is just before the crew beam Picard away from
Armus who is trying to force them to take him off the planet.
Picard:"I'm not taking you anywhere"

VOY
"Deadlock"
Viddians have boarded the ship and Janeway has activated the self destruct which is at 5 seconds to go when the Viddians reach the bridge and are greeted by the remaining crew.
Janeway:"I'm Captain Kathryn Janeway.Welcome to the bridge."
And then BOOOOOOOOOOOOM

DS9
"The Maquis, Part II"
The Maquis have captured Gul Dukat, and a Vulcan Maquis member is trying to mind meld with him to read his mind. She can't do it.
Dukat: "Merely a matter of discipline."

TNG
Star Trek VIII: First Contact
Worf raises his phaser rifle to blow away the deflector dish.
"Assimilate this!"

Or, for a more serious one,

DS9
"Tears of the Prophets"
Dukat stops by Jadzia's body on the floor of the temple.
"If it's any comfort, I never meant you any harm." (Or some variation of such.)
Not because it's a prticularly good sentiment, but it's just so Dukat-like and so unforgettable.

Star Trek First Contact
Borg Queern says, "How long has it been since you used that programming?"
Data says, "Eight years… (pauses)… seven months, sixteen days, four minutes-"
Borg Queen: "Far too long."

TNG
"The Best of Both Worlds, Part One"
Picard has just appeared to the crew as Locutus. Riker says, 'Mr. Worf, fire." Fade to black.

Oh, I have a huge pile of DS9 quotes! Here are a few...

So, I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. And the most damning thing of all is...I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Because I can live with it. I *can* live with it.
...Computer, erase that entire personal log.
-- Sisko, "In the Pale Moonlight"

O'Brien: I don't believe it! I tore my pants!
Sisko: You...you tore your pants?
O'Brien: Yeah! I tore my pants! I guess I'm really in trouble now!
-- "Rocks and Shoals"

This is a very entertaining story, but...why am I listening to it?
-- Dukat, "Defiant"

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 Tribble-ations"

Sisko: Do you really want to give up your life for the order of things?
Remata'klan: It is not my life to give up, Captain, and it never was.
-- "Rocks and Shoals"

The entire future of the galaxy may depend on us tracking down Willie Mays...and stopping him.
-- Jake, "In the Cards"

Gods don't make mistakes -- although sometimes I think it would be nice to be able to carry a tune.
-- Weyoun, "Favor the Bold"

You have my gratitude...and my blessing.
-- Odo to Weyoun 6, "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River"

I'll spare you the ends-justify-the-means speech, and you spare me the we-must-do-what's-right speech.
-- Sloan, "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges"

Time to start packing!
-- Weyoun, "Sacrifice of Angels"

I forgive you, too.
-- Dukat to Sisko, "Sacrifice of Angels"

OK, I think that's quite enough for now... :-)

Matthew, thank you! That Worf quote was my .sig for a long time...

ST:FC
Lily(?) to picard
"You broke your toy ships"

And of course, the granddaddy of all of them:
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Spock: I have been… and always shall be… your friend.

Picard to Jason Vigo, his supposed son, in Bloodlines: "Of course, you'll never look at your hairline in quite the same way again ..."

I like Kirk's "If man were meant to fly" speech in "Return to Tomorrow." Risk is, after all, their business.

I can't believe I'm the first to get this one!

"I shall leave you as you left me...as you left her. Marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet. Buried alive...buried alive..."

"KAHN!!! KAHN!!! KAHN!!!"

STII:TWOK
Kirk to Spock (after Kobiyashi Maru test): "Aren't you dead?"

Yes Lea Frost, Weyoun's "Time to start packing!" He acted like he's waited an entire season just to say that. :)

DS9--"Take me out to the Holosuite."
Worf: "Death to the opposition!"
Ezri" "Human? Did I forget my spots today?"

TOS--"The Immunity Syndrome" (I think)
McCoy: "Shut up, Spock! We're rescuing you!"
Spock: "Why, thank you--CAPTAIN McCoy."

Spock (Anywhere and everywhere)
"Live long and prosper." (I love that line!
It's such a nice sentiment! [Although the Vulcans themselves no doubt would argue the term.])

DS9
"Time's Orphan"
O'Brien:"Bollocks"
Because it was nice to see a bit of realism.

"His Way"
Odo:"You mean, like this?"
This is after Vic recommends he changes and Odo does this infinitely stylish morph into a tux.Classic.

DS9
"Emmisary"
Odo:"You know at first....I didn't think I was going to like him"
This is just after Sisko bullies Quark into staying and Odo grabs the pilot's best line.

Voyager
"Darkling"
Torres:".....or else someone could get hurt."
And then we realise the Doctor has his hand on B'Elanna's leg.

"The Thaw"
The Clown:"Drat."
This is one of the best endings in Trek history.

DS9
"Visionary"
Odo:"I always investigate Quark."

More DS9 quotes, because I'm a hopeless quote maven...

Garak: My dear doctor, they're all true.
Bashir: Even the lies?
Garak: Especially the lies.
-- "The Wire"

Kilana: Do you have any gods, Captain Sisko?
Sisko: There are...things I believe in.
Kilana: Duty? Starfleet? The Federation? You must be pleased with yourself. You have this ship to take back to them. I hope it was worth it.
Sisko: So do I.
-- "The Ship"

Tell me, Weyoun, have you ever been diagnosed as anhedonic?
-- Dukat, "Sacrifice of Angels"

This is no time for a Changeling Pride demonstration on the Promenade!
-- Quark, "Chimera"

If I had had just two more vials of White, you never would have had a chance.
-- Keevan, "Rocks and Shoals"

Do you know what the sad part is? I'm actually a very *good* tailor.
-- Garak, "The Die is Cast"

Would this be more aesthetically pleasing if it were blue?
-- Weyoun, "Favor the Bold"

I knew Brutus was going to kill Caesar in the first act! But Caesar didn't know it until the knife was in his back!
-- Garak, "Improbable Cause"

Oh my, that is *quite* toxic, isn't it?
-- Weyoun, "Ties of Blood and Water"

(Weyoun and Garak are DS9's two leading quote machines...)

Excuse me . . . what does God need with a starship?

DS9
Tears Of The Prophets
Romulan:"Romulans don't believe in luck."
Martok:"All the better...leaves more for the rest of us."

I have three words for you:

"Mr Worf...Fire!"

Saying nasallly: "I am not less perfect then Lore."
Lore mocking Data's attempt to logically comprehend the double-negative.

"What did they call you, the God of Lies?"
"They meant it affectionately."
--Vash and Q "Q-Less"

"What you call Genocide--I call a day's work."
--Duet

"I am no more a spy that you are--"
"--A doctor."
Garak and Bashir--Caedassians

"My own very adequate memory not being good enough for Starfleet, I am pleased to put my voice to the offical record of this day. Everything's under control. End log."
Odo--Necessary Evil

"Phasers on Stun, Mr. O'Brien. I want those Voles taken alive."
Sisko--Playing God

"If you're not a spy, maybe you're an outcast."
"Maybe i'm a outcast spy."
"How can you be both?"
"Doctor, I never said I was either."
--Bashir and Garak--Profit and Loss

"I do admire a well-tailored gown."
Mirror Garak--Crossover

"I know you're under terrible strain, but if you're wise--you will never speak to me with such disrepect again."
Newly elected Kai Winn--The Collaborator

"I hate temporal Mechanics."
O'Brien--Visionary

"To my father--who's coming home."
Old Jake--The Visitor

"When I look at my father, I have a hard time seeing a murderer."
"And when i look at him, I have a hard time seeing anything else."
Ziyal and Kira--Return to Grace

"they're Dead. You're Dead. Cardassia is Dead. Your people were doomed the moment they attacked us. I believe that answers your question."
Female Changling--Broken Link

"Now that you're a humanoid you have to learn to relax."
"that's what you said last week."
"And?"
"And it helped...that and the prune juice."
Bashir and Odo--the Begotten

"I'd like to get my hands on the fellow Earl Grey and tell him a thing about tea leaves."
Garak--In Purgatory's Shadow

"This would make a wonderful interrogation chamber. Tight quarters, no air, bad lighting, random electric shocks...it's perfect."
Garak--By Inferno's Light

"Then it's ture? You're..."
"The word you're looking for is 'unnatural', meaning 'not from nature'. 'Freak' or 'monster' would also be acceptable."
O'Brien and Bashir--Doctor Bashir, I Presume.

"there's something else the other Odo wanted you to know. He was responsible for changing the Defiant's flight plan."
"Why?"
"So That you wouldn't have to die."
"I can't beleive it. Eight Thousand people."
"He did it for you, Nerys. He loved you."
"That makes it right?!"
"I don't know. He thought so."
Odo and Kira--Children of Time

"And the worst part of it is--this isn't a coil spanner. It's a flux coupler."
Garak--Empok Nor

"I believe you."
"you do?"
"I believe your first story--that you're two innocent boys trying to give a gift to Captain Sisko."
"You are very Wise."
Weyoun, Jake, and Nog--IN the Cards

"What do you think is gonna Happen here, Dukat? That you are going to wear me down with your charming Personality? That i'm going to be swept off my feet by that insincere smile? Are you so deluded that you actually think that we're going to have some kind of intimate relationship?"
"Oh...we already do."
Kira and Dukat--A time to Stand

"I just shared a bottle of Kanar with Damar. Hee-Hee tath rhymes."
Quark--Behind the Lines.

"I should have lilled them all!"

"A child, a moron, a failure, and a psycopath."
Brunt--the Magnificent Ferengi

"That's why you came to see me--isn't it Captain? because you knew i could do those things you weren't capable of doing. Well, it worked. And you'll get what you want--a war between the Romulans and The Dominion. And if your conscience is bothering you, you should soothe it with the knowledge that you mat have just saved the enitre Alpha Quardrant, and all it cost was the life of one Romulan senator, one criminal, and the self-respect of one Starfleet officer. I don't know about you, but i'd call that a bargain."
Garak--In the Pale Moonlight


anything in Trials and Tribble-ations and Far Beyond the Stars

Tha all-time best line was spoken by Dr. McCoy is ST3 when he found out that he had Spack's katra - "That green-blooded son-of-a-•••••. It's his revenge for all those arguments he lost."

I love this classic: "Having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."

~Spock, 'Amok Time'

Of course, there's Data's line in one of TNG's movies: "Sir, I believe I speak for the entire crew when I say...to hell with our orders."

I liked Uhura's, "Sorry, neither," in answer to Sulu calling her a fair maiden.

Touching moment:

Kirk: "Bones, what have I done?"

McCoy: "You did what you always do. You took a chance to die and turned it into a chance to live (or something like that)."

Star Trek III, regarding the destruction of the Enterprise

It's "you made death a fighting chance to live."

A line used by Robert Picardo, when applying for the character of the Doctor on Voyager:
And when you leave, please remember to turn me off. I'm a doctor, not a nightlight.

In Voyager's 'Bliss' (I think it was, I missed the episode title), by the Doctor.

"I think not. I'm a doctor, not a dragonslayer" (or something like that).

It's the McCoy syndrome!

To add to Lea Frost's 4/16 quote:


Oh my, that is *quite* toxic, isn't it?
-- Weyoun, "Ties of Blood and Water"

Dukat: Are you crazy?
Weyoun: Oh, no, Vorta are immune to most forms of poison. It comes in quite handy in diplomatic missions.
Sisko: Especially when you're dealing with them. *Looks at Dukat pointedly*

(Apologies to all errors...trying to do this from memory.)

Speaking of from memory, I like Sarek's line following the Tellerite that goes something like this...
Tellerite, "You will pay for your slander, Vulcan!"
Sarek, "Threats are illogical. And payment is usually expensive."

From "Tacking into the Wind"

Damar--The Dominion killed my wife, My son. What kind of people give orders to kill innocent women and children?!

Kira--Yeah Damar, what kind of people give those orders?

WHAT?!! No-one's yet posted the all-time classic line from Voyager? Or is it just too obvious as the Best Line ever?!

I refer, of course, to B'elanna Torres' fabulously straight-faced delivery of the line:

"Get the cheese to Sickbay."


My second favourite is Captain Janeway's equally fabulously straight-faced delivery of the question,
"Any sign of Neelix's lungs?"

From "Space Seed"--that whole exchange when Khan is holding a knife at McCoy's throat in the sickbay.

McCoy: It would be most effective if you would cut the carotid artery just under the left ear.

Scotty; "There's an old saying that goes, 'Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me'."
Chekov; "I know this saying; it was invented in Russia!'
from "Friday's child"
Also...
Scotty; "When are you gonna get off that milk diet, lad?"
Chekov; "This is vodka!"
Scotty; "Where I come from that's soda pop. Now here's a drink for a real man."
Chekov; "Scotch?!'"
Scotty; "Aye!"
Chekov; "It was invented by a little old lady from Leningrad!"
from 'The Trouble With Tribbles'
Also;
Kirk "Gary, forgive me!"
Mitchell; "For a moment, James. But your moment is fading."
from 'Where No man Has Gone Before'
Also
Sulu; "Don't call me 'Tiny'!"
from 'Star Trek III-The Search For Spock'
Also;
Matt Decker; "They say there's no devil, Jim, but there is. Right out of Hell, I saw it!"
Kirk; "Matt, where's your crew?"
Decker; "On the third planet"
Kirk; "There is no third planet!"
Decker; "Don't you think I know that?! There was, but not anymore! They begged me to help, 400 hundred of them!!! I couldn't!!! I couldn't!!"
from 'The Doomsday Machine'
Also;
Will Decker; "They can't blame us from scanning them now."
Kirk; "Right, now that we've got them just where they want us.
from 'Star Trek-The Motion Picture.
Better stop now before I create my own web page!!!

(Sound of hand slapping forehead) Doh!

The most *obvious* Best Lines just occurred to me!

"Space, the final frontier..."

"...to boldly go where no man has gone before."

Here are several that I think are great lines:
1. Sorry-this galaxy is already occupied-Kirk to Rojan(By any other name)

2. By the hand of Kahless, GET US OUTTA HERE!!-Martok (Once more unto the breach)

3. Thats the first smart thing you've done since you came over here-Dax to Kira (Equallibrium)

4. Q! What are you doing with that dog? (Q and Janeway look at the dog) I'm not talking about the puppy!!-female Q (The Q and the Grey)

5. Believing oneself to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind-Data to Queen Borg (ST First Contact)

6. Your tone does not sit well with me helmsman-Martok to Lesskit (the ep where the Rotaren rescues the Klingons)

7. Perhaps we should ask..KANG!-female klingon (Once more unto the breach)

8. Were fighting a life or death struggle for control of the entire alpha quadrant, and all you care about is your petty thirst for revenge!? You haven't changed a bit Dukat!-Weyoun (Tears of the Phrophets)

9. Your right Dukat, you have changed. You went from a self centered egotist to a self dilluted madman! I'd hardly call that an improvement!-Weyoun(Tears of the Prophets)

10. I'm NOT a mind control expert!-Troi to Danar (The Hunted)

11. Freeze right there Mr Spock, or I'll put you to sleep for sure!-Scott to Spock (Deneva episode)

12. You know, at first I didnt think I was going to like him- Odo to Quark about Sisko (Emissary)

13. You! Bar rodent, get me a drink- Q to Neelix (The Q and the Gray)

14. That is a completely inplausable plot development. Captain Janeway would never act in such an inhumane manner.-Tuvok to Paris (Worst case scenario)

15. I am aboard the Enterprise. Incorrect strategy Number One. To risk ship and Crew to retrieve only 1 man. Picard would never have approved-Locutus to Riker (Best of Both worlds II)

16. Major Larks True Pepper!-O'Brien to Kira (babel)

17. Are you trying to be funny Mr Spock?-Kirk (The immunity syndrome)

18. I am not interested in discussing the Klingons!-Sisko to Third Talak (The Jem-Haddar)

19. I had no idea you were so "formidable"-Anan 7 to Kirk (A taste of Armageddon)

20. Never tell the same lie twice-Garak to Bashir (Improbabble cause)

Fun will now commense

Four words: "Oiling my traps, darling..."

btw, that was from Mirror, Mirror (on the unlikely chance no-one knew)

By juli k on Saturday, April 29, 2000
The most obvious Best Lines just occurred to me!
"Space, the final frontier..."
"...to boldly go where no man has gone before."


My mother gave me my very first nit as a youngster with this line from Trek. According to her, it is incorrect to say "... to boldy go where no man has gone before." Instead, it SHOULD read "... to GO BOLDLY where no man has gone before." (Something about predicates and participles and other grammar rules I can't remember)

The problem is a split infinitive.

"Maybe we weren't meant for Paradise. Maybe we were meant to fight our way through, claw our way out, scratch for every inch of the way. Maybe we can't stroll to the music of the lute, we must march to the sound of drums."

Kirk...."This Side of Paradise"

Star Trek IV had some of the best lines:
Kirk: "Everybody remember where we parked."
Spock: "Judging by the pollution content of the atmosphere, we have arrived in the latter half of the 20th century." "I stand with my shipmates."
McCoy-All his grousings about 20th century medicine.("Medievalism" and "Spanish Inquisition" come to mind.)

Best Next Gen film line:
"Assimilate This"-Worf in "First Contact"

Spock from ST6:
"Logic, logic, logic … Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end."

Spock from ST6: "We have a saying on Vulcan. Only Nixon could go to China."

ST4's exchange between Spock and McCoy at the very beginning had some of my favorites:

"You really HAVE gone where no man's gone before"
-McCoy
and
"You mean I have to die to discuss death?"

JoshM has hit on one of the premier moments of Trek. It bears repeating ...

McCoy: Hi, busy?
Spock: Uhura is busy. I am monitoring.
McCoy: Hmmm, well I just wanted to say it sure is nice to have your katra back in your head and not mine. What I mean is, I may have carried your soul, but I sure couldn't fill your shoes.
Spock: My shoes?
McCoy: Forget it ... Perhaps we could cover a little philosophical ground.
Life -Death - Life - things of that nature?
Spock: I did not have time on Vulcan to review the philosophical disciplines.
McCoy: Come on Spock, it's me, McCoy! You really HAVE gone where no man’s gone before. Can't you tell me what it felt like?
Spock: It would be impossible to discuss the subject without a common frame of reference.
McCoy: You're joking!?
Spock: A "joke" ... is ... a story with a humorous climax?
McCoy: You mean I have to DIE to discuss your insights on death?
Spock: Forgive me, Doctor. I'm, receiving a number of distress calls.
McCoy: I don't doubt it.

Very best line in Star Trek:

"Resistance is futile" - Data(!) in "First Contact"

From "Return to Tomorrow":
"Risk! Risk...is our business! That's what this Starship is all about! That's why we're aboard her!" Kirk

(Someone mentioned this quote eariler, but didn't get it quite right)

"They're not talking about the sun up in the sky,
but the Son of God." Uhura, "Bread & Circuses"

I think the Horta said it all


NO KILL I

Assorted Star Trek IV quotes:

McCoy: My God man! Drilling holes in his head's not the answer. The artery must be repared. Now put away your butcher knives before it's too late!

Navy Officer:
Ok, let's take this from the top.
Chekov:
The top of what?
Navy Officer:
Name?
Chekov:
My name?
Navy Officer:
No, my name!
Chekov:
I do not know your name.
Navy Officer:
Listen, Mister, if you play games with me, you're through!
Chekov:
I am? Can I go now?

Hello computer?
-- Scotty

One •••• minute Admiral.
-- Spock

Humpbacked... people?
-- Scotty

I think he did a little too much LDS.
-- Kirk

Starbase technician to Spock while Spock is beating him up -- "Whose tapes are these?"

He tasks me, Joachim, he tasks me. And I shall have him. I'll chase him round the moons of Nibia and around the Antares Maelstrom and through perdition's flames before I give him up!
-Khan

From hell's hot, I stab at thee....
For hate's sake, I spit my last breath...at thee....
-Khan

Chekov: NU-CLE-AR WESSels!
[Our Pavel spells it out, "Star Trek IV"]

Picard: Let's make sure history never forgets the name... 'Enterprise.'
[Alternate Picard ensuring the success of The Franchise™ yet failing to anticipate the coming of that theme song, "Yesterday's Enterprise" (TNG)]

Kirk: I've always known... I'll die alone.
[Kirk in reflective mood, "Star Trek V"]

McCoy: You're NOT going in there!
Spock: Perhaps you're right. [looks at Scotty] What is Mr. Scott's condition?
McCoy: [distracted] Well, I don't think that he-- UULP!
Spock: [having given McCoy the nerve pinch] Sorry, Doctor, I have no time to discuss this with you logically....
[Spock's human half snaps in the heat of a crisis, "Star Trek II"]

Locutus: You will *all* become one with the Borg.
[Has Picard succumbed to the Borg Collective? "The Best of Both Worlds, part 2" (TNG)]

Benny Russell: The future! I created it! And it's REAL!
[As defiant as his counterpart Benjamin Sisko, "Far Beyond the Stars" (DS9)]

From hell's hot, I stab at thee....
For hate's sake, I spit my last breath...at thee....
-Khan

Isn't that "From Hell's heart"?

I've always thought so ... but then again, it could be a mondegreen on Montalban's part ... (nyuk-nyuk-nyuk-nyuk ... [slap!] Ow!)

"Mr. Russell, put the pencil down."
-Doctor Wycoff to Benny in Shadows and Symbols

Jake: "No, humans have given up money and the pursuit of material wealth. We now devote our lives on working to better ourselves and all of humanity."
Nog: "And exactly what does that mean?"
Jake: "It means . . . .it means, we don't have money!"

-The Q and the Grey

Worf: "The Defiant?"
Picard: "Adrift, but salvageable."
Riker: "Tough little ship."
Worf: "Little?"
Picard: "Mr. Worf, we could use some help at tactical."
Riker to Worf: "You do still remember how to fire phasers."
-Star Trek: First Contact

I don't know which episode this is from, but it is one of Dr. McCoy's best ever lines:

McCoy: "In this Galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all the Universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that, and perhaps more, only one of each of us...."

It's from "Balance of Terror"...just after Rand's visit. (Chapter 7---"Motionless" on the DVD menu)

Thanks, JAL. It's actually quite a sobering line, isn't it?

Here's something. When I rediscovered the Classic Trek a few years ago on the Sci-Fi Channel, I noticed something: the line, "Beam me up, Scotty" is never uttered in the entire series. The closest was "Scotty, beam us up," in "Plato's Stepchildren."

correct it was only used in the Animated series

It's a shame William Shatner didn't say "Beat me up, Scotty" (which is what I originally thought the line was when I was a wee boy) as I'm sure Jimmy Doohan would have only been too happy to oblige!

Adding to dialogue from "In the Cards,"

Nog: "It's not my fault your species abandoned currency-based economics in favour of... some philosophy of self-enhancement."

Dr. Geiger: "Let me just ask you one question - Do you want to die?"

Jake: "The future of the galaxy may depend on us finding Willy Mays, and stopping him."

Dr. Geiger (as we steps out of the "Cellular Regeneration and Entertainment Chamber"): "Refreshed, rested, only mildly entertained. Still get a little bored after the first five hours."

From Star Trek II:

Spock (to Saavik): Mr. Saavik, take her out.
(Kirk gets a look of abject terror on his face)
Spock: For everything, there is a first time. Would you not agree, Admiral?
Kirk: Mm-hmm!
McCoy (whispering, to Kirk): Would you like a tranquilizer?
(Kirk shakes his head)


Kirk (to Spock): I would not presume to debate you.
Spock: That is wise.


(Preparing to beam down to Regula)
McCoy: Go? Where are we going?
Kirk: Where they went.
McCoy: Suppose they went. . . nowhere?
(beat)
Kirk: Then, this will be your big chance to get away from it all.

Some great DS9 quotes:

Quark: I have a dream: a dream that all people - Human, Jem'Hadar, Ferengi, Cardassians - will someday stand together in peace... around my Dabo tables.
[The more things change...? "The Search"]

Odo: I usually make it a point to drop by Quark's three or four times a day, at random intervals, just to let him know I'm thinking about him.
[Hmmm, a love that dare not speak its name? From "Fascination"]

Worf: You are not in my shoes.
Jadzia: Too bad. You'd be amazed at what I can do in a pair of size 18's.
[Touchè, Dax. "Looking For Par'Mach In All The Wrong Places"]

Kira: If your lies are going to be this transparent, this is going to be a very short interrogation.
"Darhe'el": Then I'll try to make my lies more opaque...
[One of the best exchanges from the first season, it could only have come from "Duet"]

Odo: [to Jake and Nog] I thought I told you - "No dangling over the Promenade"!
[Boys will be boys, but trust me, it's far more innocent than that. "The Storyteller"]

Weyoun: I’m not sure how much faith I have in this - what did he call it?
Damar: Pah-Wraith.
Weyoun: Pah-Wraiths and Prophets. All this talk of gods strikes me as nothing more than superstitious nonsense.
Damar: You believe that the Founders are gods, don’t you?
Weyoun: That’s different.
Damar: In what way?
Weyoun: The Founders ARE gods.
[Invite these two to Religious Musings, somebody! From "Tears of the Prophets"]

Odo: Sometimes I have to remind you just how good I am.
[No need for that, my friend. From "Visionary"]

I forget the episode title. I'm working off memory so I may get specifics in the quote wrong too.

Quark is telling Garak that you can learn a lot about a race from their popular drinks. With all the Federation people he has to keep a good stock of "root beer". "It is very sweet, syrupy, and cloying; like the Federation."

BB, that one's from "The Way of the Warrior" - which, to paraphrase Douglas Adams, is a good episode and has some Klingons in it.

I think the exact lines are:

Garak: [drinks it] It's vile!
Quark: I know. It's so bubbly, and cloy, and happy.
Garak: Just like the Federation.
Quark: And you know what's really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it.
Garak: It's insidious!
Quark: Just like the Federation.

And another great line, this one from "What You Leave Behind":

[Garak kills Weyoun 8]
Female shifter: I wished you hadn't done that...

Not to jump on Sven, but has anyone else noticed in the past several years that people often use 'wished' when they mean 'wish?' I wonder how that started. I've never heard anyone else mention it though.

Favorite quotes:

"...for the first time in my life, I was happy."
-Spock, "This Side of Paradise"

"Would it have hurt us, I wonder, to have gathered just a few laurel leaves?"
-Kirk, "Who Mourns for Adonais?"

"If I were you, I'd start looking for another job."
-Classic Kirk glib line, "Return of the Archons"

"I know why you're not afraid of dying, Mr. Spock. You're more afraid of living!"
-McCoy, "Bread and Circuses"

Spock: In chess, when one has been outmatched, the game is over. Checkmate.
Kirk (angrily): Is that your best recommendation?
Spock: I'm s--- I regret that I can find no logical alternative.
- "The Corbomite Maneuver"

Best lines: Brain and Brain what is Brain

I need help! I need 10 Star Trek lines from ANY Star Trek series to use as wave files in my Press Your Luck Star Trek game. Based on the gameshow Press Your Luck (1983-1986) now airing once a week on GSN.

As many of you will remember the object of the game was to correctly answer questions to earn spins then take the spins and turn them into Big Bucks on the big board. Don't land on a Whammy or else (Bankrupt!) he'll take all your money away. A Whammy cartoon displays in front of the contestant as their earnings are knocked back to zero.

This game has been made into a PC game. The link currently does not work. However, here is a link to Jim's PYL Slides where you can look at the pictures of the game and download an older version of the game. It's very authentic, but it lacks the Whammy animations. Audio clips are provided in lieu of the cartoons.

Earlier, I modified the game to emulate The Incredibles. I replaced all the Whammy squares with characters (mainly villains) from the film. I replaced the Whammy audio with quotes from the characters (mainly Syndrome).

Now I want to make a Star Trek mod. I already have chosen the pictures that will replace the whammy sqaures. Now I need audio of some manacing villains or any character discussing money along the lines of GREED.

The game accomodated 12 whammy wave (.wav) files. I've already chosen 2. The first is the head Talosian saying "Wrong thinking is punishable. Right thinking will be as quickly rewarded. You will find it an effective combination". The second is an exchange between Quark and Rom; "You tiny earred fool. Don't you know the first rule of acquisition?" "Yes, brother" "Then say it" "Once you have their money, you never give it back" "Exactly!" Those are the 2. I need help with 10 more and I figured a Star Trek discussion board such as this one would be a fine place to get suggestions. I'll pick out the 10 best suggestions, and insert them into the game.

A third quote I may use is another Rule of Acquisition: "Greed is eternal!" but not the one that came from Voyager. Which DS9 episode did that quote originate? Also, I don't want to fill the game with too many Rules of Acquisition since there are so many other good villain quotes to pick from. I just need to narrow them down to ten.

Thank you in advance.

"Superior ability breeds superior ambition".Spock to Kirk in Space Seed.

Really great-
Kirk died alone saving the Enterprise B on a Tuesday.He ended up being in the Nexas and died again.How do you die again?

and Riker got the captains wrong it was Captain Tuesday's (Harriman)ship, not Kirk- he was just an observer!, so was Cpt.Nucklear vessels and Scotty!

and Fire At Will!
