Starfleet Quotes

Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott: [notices many empty glasses] Uh, did you drink all those yourself? I'm impressed.
Jaylah: Someone said it would take my edge off. My edge is still not off.
Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott: Aye, well, maybe this will help... the captain pulled a few strings. That is acceptance into Starfleet Academy, if you want

it.
Captain James T. Kirk: There are a lot of rules. Don't listen to them all.
Jaylah: Will I have to wear that uniform?
Captain James T. Kirk: I'm afraid so.

Chekov: I have intercepted a weak communications transmission, sir. It's a Starfleet frequency.
Captain James T. Kirk: Can you lock onto the signal?
Chekov: Mm, yes, but how do we get to them?
Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott: I have an idea, sir. But I'm gonna need your permission.
Captain James T.

Kirk: Why would you need my permission?
Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott: Because if I mess it up, I don't want it to be just my fault.

[Donny and Jessup leave the Hasbro panel with an unconscious Ted]
Donny: Come on, there's an empty supply room downstairs.
Tom Jessup: Is that him?
Donny: Uh, yeah, there was an issue, so he's unconscious now. This is him.
Tom Jessup: Jesus! Why did you bring him here?
Donny:

Well, I've been following him around since yesterday. This was the only chance I could get him alone. I had to move fast.
[Guy and Rick appear behind them]
Guy: Hey, Ted!
[Donny and Jessup turn around]
Guy: Is that you?
Donny: Uh, yeah, he had a little too much to drink. He puked a pile of cotton all over this

little girl in a, in a stroller, so we're gonna take him back and sober him up.
Guy: [pointing at them] Ah, rock on, Ted.
Donny: [pointing back] Eff yeah.
[Donny and Jessup proceed down the hallway]
Rick: Hey guys, be careful out there. Some nerd spilled his lunch.
[Guy trips a Starfleet Redshirt cosplayer]

Guy: Hey, watch that floor. Comes up fast, man.

Holographic Doctor: Please state the nature of the medical emergency.
Dr. Beverly Crusher: Twenty Borg are about to break through that door. We need time to get out of here! Create a diversion!
Holographic Doctor: This isn't part of my program! I'm a doctor, not a doorstop.
Dr. Beverly Crusher: Well, do a

dance! Tell a story! I don't care! Just give us a few seconds!
[the Borg break in as Crusher and her people escape through an airduct]
Holographic Doctor: Ahem, according to Starfleet medical research... Borg implants can cause severe skin irritations. Perhaps you'd like an analgesic cream?

Cmdr. William Riker: We finished our first sensor sweep of the neutral zone.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Oh, fascinating. Twenty particles of space dust per cubic meter, 52 ultraviolet radiation spikes, and a class-2 comet. Well, this is certainly worthy of our attention.
Cmdr. William Riker: Captain, why are we out here chasing comets?

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Let's just say Starfleet has every confidence with the Enterprise and her crew - they're just not sure about her Captain. They believe that a man who was once captured and assimilated by the Borg should not be put in a situation where he would face them again. To do so would introduce "an unstable element to a critical situation."

Cmdr. William Riker: That's ridiculous. Your experience with the Borg makes you the perfect man to lead this fight.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Admiral Hayes disagrees.

Saavik: Admiral, may I ask you a question?
Kirk: What's on your mind, Lieutenant?
Saavik: The Kobayashi Maru, sir.
Kirk: Are you asking me if we're playing out that scenario now?
Saavik: On the test, sir... will you tell me what you did? I would really like to know.

McCoy: Lieutenant, you are looking at the only Starfleet cadet who ever beat the no-win scenario.
Saavik: How?
Kirk: I reprogrammed the simulation so it was possible to rescue the ship.
Saavik: What?
David Marcus: He cheated.
Kirk: I changed the conditions of the

test; got a commendation for original thinking. I don't like to lose.
Saavik: Then you never faced that situation... faced death.
Kirk: I don't believe in the no-win scenario.

Kirk: Kirk to Enterprise.
Spock: Spock here.
Kirk: Captain Spock, damage report.
Spock: Admiral, if we go "by the book". like Lieutenant Saavik, hours could seem like days.
Kirk: I read you captain. Let's have it.
Spock: The situation is grave, Admiral. We won't

have main power for six "days". Auxiliary power has temporarily failed. Restoration may be possible, in two "days". By the book, Admiral.
Kirk: Meaning you can't even beam us back?
Spock: Not at present.
Kirk: Captain Spock, if you don't hear from us within one hour, your orders are to restore what power you can, take the

Enterprise to the nearest star base, and alert Starfleet Command as soon as you're out of jamming range.
Commander Nyota Uhura: Sir, we won't leave you behind!
Kirk: Uhura, if you don't hear from us, there won't be anybody behind. Kirk out.

Carol Marcus: Why are you taking Genesis away from us?
Kirk: Taking Genesis? Who's taking Genesis? Who-who is... who is taking Genesis?
Carol Marcus: I can see you, but I can't hear.
Kirk: Carol!
Carol Marcus: Jim, did you give the order?
Kirk: What order? Who's

taking Genesis?
Carol Marcus: Please help us, Jim.
Kirk: I'm trying...
Carol Marcus: I will not let them have Genesis without proper authorization.
Kirk: Have Genesis? Who's taking...
Carol Marcus: On whose authority can they do this?
Kirk: No one's

authority.
Carol Marcus: Jim...
Kirk: [trying to get a clearer signal] Uhura, what's happening?
Commander Nyota Uhura: Transmission jammed at the source, sir.
Kirk: Alert Starfleet Headquarters.

Kirk: An emergency situation has arisen. By order of Starfleet Command, as of now, 1800 hours, I'm assuming command of this vessel. Duty officer, so note in the ship's log. Plot a new course for space laboratory Regula-1. Engine room. Mr. Scott.
Scotty: Aye, sir.
Kirk: We'll be going to warp speed.
Scotty:

Aye, sir.
Sulu: Course plotted for Regula-1, Admiral.
Kirk: Engage warp engines.
Saavik: Prepare for warp speed.
Sulu: Ready, sir.
Kirk: I know that none of you were expecting this. I'm sorry. I'm going to have to ask you to grow up a little bit sooner than you expected.

Kirk: We have a problem. Something may be wrong on Regula-1. We've been ordered to investigate.
Spock: If memory serves, Regula-1 is a scientific research laboratory.
Kirk: I told Starfleet Command all we had was... a boatload of children, but we're the only ship in the quadrant. Spock, these cadets of yours, how good are they? How

will they respond under real pressure?
Spock: As with all living things, each according to his gifts. Of course, the ship is yours.
Kirk: No, that won't be necessary. Just get me to Regula-1.
Spock: As a teacher on a training mission, I am content to command the Enterprise. If we are to go on actual duty, it is clear that the

senior officer must assume command.
Kirk: It may be nothing. Garbled communications. You take the ship.
