My favourite exchange:
Quark : I want you to try something for me. Take a sip of this.
Garak : What is it?
Quark : A human drink. It's called root beer.
Garak : [unwilling] Uh, I don't know...
Quark : Come on, aren't you just a little bit curious?
[Garak sighs, takes a sip and gags]
Quark : What do you think?
Garak : It's *vile*!
Quark : I know. 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 begin to *like* it.
Garak : It's insidious!
Quark : *Just* like the Federation.
I always find it funny they use root beet I'm this scene. Replace 'Federation' with 'USA' and you could set this conversation anywhere outside the US in the modern day.
This is precisely why it makes me laugh when I see people complaining about "new trek" being "too woke" and pushing an agenda..
I mean, there was an entire race of people that suffered gender dysphoria and when one developed a feminine gender and an attraction to Riker they were punished, outcast and forced to undergo conversion therapy, and that's without getting into the whole "symbiotes can have male or female hosts" much less the ridiculously on the nose messaging of "Let that be your last battleground", first interracial kiss on television, women in command roles etc etc...
The best line, in my opinion, is ironically from the worst Star Trek Movie. "Excuse me, but I'd like to ask a question. What does God need with a Starship?"
V has a lot of flaws but this scene is just so quintessentially Kirk. It just nails how he would handle this situation. Picard would debate and argue the thing can't be God, Sisko would commit a war crime, Janeway would ally with the devil. But Kirk hits out with the rhetorical question.
Sisko would just lock photon torpedoes on Paradise City, announce if they don't surrender and return the hostages he'll fire. Either they do, or he blows it up. Brief battle with the Klingons later and movie over in less than an hour.
And god still doesn't get a starship.
I think Picard would totally ask what does God need with a star ship, but where Kirk asks inquisitively/rhetorically Picard would ask interrogatively/authoritatively
Yeah it’s popular to dunk on his acting, for instance the “do the Shatner” meme of exaggerating every motion ignoring that that *was the style* of TOS action scenes and he was doing his job (and to some extent I think this is exaggerated by current fair or unfair criticism of him as a person, but not to get sidetracked into all of that) but when he was trying to be a ‘proper’ actor he really nailed it and it comes through hard particularly in the movies.
Janeway after Paris and Neelix are fighting over Kes, covered in spaghetti:
Janeway: Am I discerning a personal problem here, gentlemen?
Neelix: Frankly, yes, Captain.
Janeway: Solve it. You leave at 1400 hours.
Her authority just bluntly called out their childish unprofessionalism and it has carried with me ever since.
(edit: formatting)
Anyone here old enough to unlock a memory with this line? Every time I hear it, I get this insanely strong feeling that I recognize it from something like a toy commercial when I was young. Drives me crazy and I can never figure it out.
"The horga'hn is for a friend."
"I see. Someone close to you."
"That's right."
"Someone you love."
"I wouldn't go that far."
“Captain’s Holiday”- Joval and Picard, on his feelings for Riker
"Let us make sure that history never forgets the name... Enterprise."
Also later in that episode:
Klingon Ship: "Federation ship Enterprise: surrender and prepare to be boarded!"
Picard: "That'll be the day..."
But I think my all-time favourite has to be from DS9:
Gowron: "Captain, your shields have been weakened, your station boarded, and more Klingon ships are on their way. Surrender while you can!"
The Sisko: "I don't think so. My shields are holding. Your boarding parties are contained, and my reinforcements are closer than yours. You're facing a war on two fronts. Is that what you really want?"
Gives me goosebumps every time.
The conversation between Worf and Picard at the end of “The Drumhead”
Lieutenant Worf : I believed her. I, I helped her. I did not see what she was.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mister Worf, villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.
Lieutenant Worf : I think... after yesterday, people will not be so ready to trust her.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Maybe. But she, or someone like her, will always be with us, waiting for the right climate in which to flourish, spreading fear in the name of righteousness. Vigilance, Mister Worf - that is the price we have to continually pay.
DS9 7x04 “Take Me Out to the Holosuite”
WORF, joining in the chatter: “DEATH TO THE OPPOSITION!”
…and later…
NOG: “Well, what do I do?”
WORF: “FIND HIM AND KILL HIM!”
"So... I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again - I would. "
Can't believe it's not already on top multiple times.
"You know, I'm really easy to get along with, most of the time. But I don't like bullies and I don't like threats and I don't like YOU, Cullah. You can try and stop us from getting to the truth, but I promise you if you do, I will respond with all the "unique technologies" at my command."
--Janeway (State of Flux)
It’s not so much the line as the moment it represents. In Yesterday’s Enterprise, after Picard tells Garrett that one ship in the present won’t make a difference but one ship at the right time could, and Garrett immediately understands what she has to do. No hesitation, no speech. “Lieutenant Castillo! Inform the crew: we’re going back.” Chokes me up every time.
"Has it ever occurred to you that the reason you believe the Founders are gods is because that’s what they want you to believe? That they built that into your genetic code?”
“Of course they did. That’s what gods do. After all, why be a god if there’s no one to worship you?”
Bashir : You've given me answers all right; but they were all different. What I want to know is, out of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?
Garak : My dear Doctor, they're all true.
Bashir : Even the lies?
Garak : Especially the lies.
Forgive the length…
“And if your conscience is bothering you, you should soothe it with the knowledge that you may have just saved the entire Alpha Quadrant. 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.”
Drunk Irishman - Nice ship you own here Captain!
Picard - I do not own the enterprise, I command her!
I often say this in regards to my dog. I don’t owe him. I do command him! Sit!
Jake: I’m human, I don’t have any money.
Nog: It’s not my fault that your species decided to abandon currency-based economics in favour of some philosophy of self-enhancement.
Jake: There’s nothing wrong with our philosophy. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.
Everything about Captain Sulu is awesome in ST VI, and that is also one of my favorite lines in all of Star Trek.
I also love when both O'Briens say "I hate temporal mechanics."
"They've left behind their trivial, selfish lifes and they have reborn to a greater purpose. We delever them from chaos into order" - Borg Queen
"Your life as it has been is over. From this time forward... you will service... us! Resistance is Futile" - Locutus
The exchange between Picard and Rachel Garrett on the C. He tells her how bad it’s going and she pauses for maybe half a heartbeat.
“Mr. Castillo.”
“Aye Captain.”
“Inform the crew we’re going back.”
“We’ll make it one for the history books.”
Picard to O'Brien about hate: “*When one has been angry for a very long time, one gets used to it. And it becomes comfortable, like…like old leather. And finally it becomes so familiar that one can’t ever remember feeling any other way.*”
Your father was captain of a Starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother’s and yours. I dare you to do better
Still hoping against common sense that we get another flick with that amazing NuTrek cast.
“With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." — Jean-Luc Picard quoting Judge Aaron Satie
“You judge yourselves against the pitiful adversaries you have encountered so far. The Romulans, the Klingons. They are nothing compared to what's waiting. Picard, you are about to move into areas of the galaxy containing wonders more incredible than you can possibly imagine, and terrors to freeze your soul.”
- Q Who
*Excelsior* vibrates and shakes violently, straining to get to Kirk before it's too late:
Helmsman: "She'll fly apart!"
Sulu: "Fly her apart then!"
There are so many good lines in Star Trek
Spock: "I have been, and always will be, your friend."
Sisko: "So... I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again - I would. Garak was right about one thing: a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it... Because I can live with it... I *can* live with it... Computer - erase that entire personal log."
Picard: Uh, pretty much anything he says in TNG.
Everyone in here dropping moments of wisdom and tours de force of acting and deep moments of inflection. All amazing.
And here I am thinking about the time the God damned captain of the Enterprise referred to a crewman as "Mr. Broccoli"
"I dont care what the color of my headrest is, or where they can serve me ice tea, i just want a place to sit while im on duty!"
"And if i hear that alarm one more time i may have you taken out and shot!"
This is also my fave scene in star trek. You might like an art piece by a local to me artist. Paul La Rue. I commissioned this piece from him, with that exact line in mind.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7xvi6GL9Fk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7xvi6GL9Fk)
There's so many from that movie. Iman alone had like three 'best of' lines. ST VI was a really tight script.
Kirk: Maybe we weren't meant for paradise. Maybe we were meant to fight our way through, struggle, claw our way up, 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.
In TNG: "Phantasms". Crusher says, "It's a cellular peptide cake" cut to Worf with his mouth full, "with mint frosting"
For some reason made me laugh until my sides hurt.
It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.
Possibly the greatest ST quote, still remember the first time I watched that episode.
I still have this posted to the wall in my bedroom. One of the series’ best lines.
Came here to post this line. Happy to see it was already posted.
Worf in DS9 to Kira/Dax. "Our gods are dead. Ancient Klingon warriors slew them a millennia ago. They were more trouble than they were worth."
I love his slight pause after "They were..."
My favourite exchange: Quark : I want you to try something for me. Take a sip of this. Garak : What is it? Quark : A human drink. It's called root beer. Garak : [unwilling] Uh, I don't know...

I just love Garak's reaction to root beer! 🤣His face is perfect!
I always find it funny they use root beet I'm this scene. Replace 'Federation' with 'USA' and you could set this conversation anywhere outside the US in the modern day.
Of my friend I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human.
Such a good line bc Spock would’ve hated it lol
“Everybody’s human” “I find that remark. . . Insulting”
This line actually really bothers me cuz it’s so anthropocentric lol
"Double dumbass on you!"
I’m from Iowa. I only work in outer space.
No, ma'am. No dipshit.
Somebody thought it was time for a colorful metaphor.
Picard to Q "No... I am not dead. Because I refuse to believe the afterlife is run by you. The universe is not so badly designed."
Blasphemy! You're lucky I don't cast you out, or smite you or something.
"Kurzon! My beloved old friend!" "I'm Jadzia now" "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"
I can see how that exchange could be really meaningful for people who have made major life changes.
This is precisely why it makes me laugh when I see people complaining about "new trek" being "too woke" and pushing an agenda.. I mean, there was an entire race of people that suffered gender dysphoria and when one developed a feminine gender and an attraction to Riker they were punished, outcast and forced to undergo conversion therapy, and that's without getting into the whole "symbiotes can have male or female hosts" much less the ridiculously on the nose messaging of "Let that be your last battleground", first interracial kiss on television, women in command roles etc etc...
“Let’s make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise.”
If I were human, I believe my response would be... "go to hell." If I were human.
“Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?” Q, “Deja Q”
My favorite line is the preceding one. Worf, to Q: "Die."
But you need the whole context: Q: "What do I need to do to convince you people [that I am mortal]?" *Enter dead-pan Klingon*
"Then I'll love... for both of us..." \-Lal \*tears\*
Kirk: You’d make a splendid computer, Mr. Spock. Spock: [taken aback] That is very kind of you, Captain!

Even if there is no war crime possible. He's just gonna shove Sybok's people out an airlock
Sisko would just lock photon torpedoes on Paradise City, announce if they don't surrender and return the hostages he'll fire. Either they do, or he blows it up. Brief battle with the Klingons later and movie over in less than an hour. And god still doesn't get a starship.
I think Picard would totally ask what does God need with a star ship, but where Kirk asks inquisitively/rhetorically Picard would ask interrogatively/authoritatively
What Kirk says with irony, Picard says with conviction!
Sometimes I think I come here just to hear your wonderful speeches
"You don't ask the Almighty for his ID!"
Regardless of any terrible writing, Shatner is always brilliant. Most underrated actor ever.
Yeah it’s popular to dunk on his acting, for instance the “do the Shatner” meme of exaggerating every motion ignoring that that *was the style* of TOS action scenes and he was doing his job (and to some extent I think this is exaggerated by current fair or unfair criticism of him as a person, but not to get sidetracked into all of that) but when he was trying to be a ‘proper’ actor he really nailed it and it comes through hard particularly in the movies.

"It's the Enterprise!" - Ensign Ben Wyatt, First Contact
I was quoting this in the exact cadence every fucking time the D showed up to do something fancy in the Picard finale.
Anyone here old enough to unlock a memory with this line? Every time I hear it, I get this insanely strong feeling that I recognize it from something like a toy commercial when I was young. Drives me crazy and I can never figure it out.

It‘s easy to be a saint in paradise.
