Alien: Picard, you say? Now, I could direct you to the other tavern just to the left of this building... in the cold night, oh yes you think, it's only a nice jaunt down that road! But there could be traps! Nasty big man traps that could slice your toes apart! You could cry for help, but will your party hear you in this atmosphere? This low oxygen atmosphere?! You could die from oxygen starvation, you know! Where's your tri-ox compounds now, eh? Left them back home on your starship? Beam up and get them! But the transporter! It could malfunction! Scatter your atoms all over the place! Would your wife and children be happy to see you all over this planet? No! It's too dangerous! Send the shuttle down! Will it find your position? Or knock you flat on your back? That street lamp! It could fall over and knock you out! Is it going to rain? You never planned that, did you? Catching a nasty alien pneumonia! And what about the shadowy men down the alleys that pounce upon you, eh? What about the thieves, I hear you think? Thieves! Thieves with big pointy ears that go EEK EEK EEK! Armed with nasty big phasers! Phasers with owls on them! The nasty rocks and stones on the road could pounce on you! Nasty, vicious GANGS of ROCKS! Ganging up on ya! TURN BACK, I say! TURN BACK!

By Sven of Nine again on Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 10:32 pm:

Janeway: Alien captain, I believe we can help your ship regain power. All you need to do is re-route the emergency power grid to the impulse drive - it should give you just enough for impulse power for a few hours.
Alien captain: Hmmmmm....
Alien engineer: Your Excellency! I believe I know how to regain power to our ship! We just re-route the emergency power grid to the impulse drive, and we can get about for about two or three hours!
Alien captain: Excellent news!
Janeway: ... then all you need to do then is collect the gases from the nearby nebula, if your ramscoops are worki--
Alien captain: [ignoring Janeway] But Lieutenant, our ramscoops, are they working?
Alien engineer: Yes, your Excellency! There is a nebula nearby we can go to, we shall collect the gases from that!

[enter Picard to sickbay]
Picard: Dr. Crusher, a word please.
Beverly: [suddenly goes all limp] Ooooooh Jean-Wuc! How are oooooo todayyy?
Picard: I have a private matter to discuss. I've been getting recent headaches just now, they've been increasing in severity and I'm worried that they'll affect my performance on the bridge.

Sisko: You know, Old Man, ever since Jennifer died, I never knew if I could fall in love again. Until I met Captain Yates.
Dax: Perhaps she is the one for you, Ben. Jake tells me that you and Kasidy get on very well together.
Sisko: Yet there's something about her that makes me feel... uncomfortable. Is my duty as the commander of the station conflicting with my love for her? And with my role as Emissary of the Bajoran people?
Dax: Ben, your role as the Emissary was given to you by the Prophets... and you accepted it. Think of it as---
Worf [over intercom]: Captain Sisko, report to the Defiant - Dominion warships closing in on the station!

Dax: Yeah! Big massive spaceships and people dying! Bagsy me the pilot's seat! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Sisko: Ooooh, not fair! Well, I'm the Captain, and I get to sit in the Captain's Chair and boss everyone around and everything! Didn't want to be the pilot in the first place!

Taking home hamsters for experimenting
Catching a fly and removing its wings
These are a few of my favourite things!

Madred: All right. Then I'll just poke you and sing Celine Dion songs off-key until you crack.

Picard: I'll never tell you what you want to know!
Madred: Very well. (to assistant) Fetch the rubber suit with the bottom cut out and the bucket of frogs in soapy water.
Picard: On second thought, what do you want to know?

Madred: It's a bit chilly in here, isn't it, Gul?
Gul: I attempted to light the fire, but the hose for the gas poker has come off the gas tap.
(Picard is brought in)
Madred: Ah, Picard... (to Gul) Fetch a pair of pliers will you?
Picard: No! Not the pliers!
Madred (sighs): We just want to attach the rubber tube!

[the bridge crew admire the brand new starship coming to view as they dock]
Kirk: My friends, the great experiment - the Titanic. Ready for trial runs.
Sulu: She's supposed to have those new lifeboats.
Scotty: Och no, they don't come in till Tuesday. I think we can manage till then - not gonnae run into any icebergs, are they?

[on Genesis, as little Spock reaches The Age]
Saavik: It's called pon farr. The feeling Vulcans get when they haven't had It for ages.
Spock: Sorry, miss, I've got a terrible headache and my back hurts.
Saavik: [holds the boy down] Grab your coat, Vulcan boy - you've pulled!
David: You always were very good with children, Saavik.

From Star Trek 4:

Spock: I believe the whales have a message for the alien probe. They are saying "Qxh7, double check and mate. Good game, play another?"

Spock: No, actually, the message the whales are sending to the probe is "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough."

Spock: Correction, that message from the whales to the probe is "I am telling the truth when I say I'm lying."

By Sven of Nine, the 2002 NT7 of NitCentral on Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 04:28 pm:

Spock: Sir, I have for you a transcript of the last few lines in the conversation between the probe and the whales:
Whales: The people of Earth never told you what happened to your ancestors!
Probe: They told us enough! They told us THEY killed them!
Whales: No.... *we* are your ancestors!
Probe: No... that's not true... that's impossible!
Whales: Search your feelings, you know it to be true!
Probe: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Just thought I'd bring the madness over here...

Riker: From the moment I first met you, all those years ago, a day hasn't gone by that I've not thought of you, and now that I'm with you again, I'm in agony. The closer I get to you the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you makes my stomach turn, my mouth goes dry. I get dizzy, I can't breathe. I'm haunted by that kiss you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar. What can I do? I will do anything you ask...If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me.
Troi: I sense you're hiding something.

Probe on audio: "When I'm calling yooouuuuuuuu, OOOOO-OOOOOO-OOOOOO,
Will you answer tooooooooo, OOOOOOO-OOOOO-OOOOOO-OOOOOOOO!!"

By Sven of you`ve got to be cruel to be kind, in the right measure... on Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 05:27 pm:

McCoy: That's crazy. Why would someone send out a probe hundreds of light-years just to talk to a whale?
Spock: Humans of the Twentieth Century were notorious for devising contrived science-fiction plot lines just to make a point about their backward habits, and ones about endangered species on their planet were a particular favourite...

By Sophie Ivanova on Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 08:48 am:

Good line.
Interesting how we have to censor "sweet-heart"...
BTW, I think Ivanova actually says "Andre and Sophie Ivanov", not Ivanova, and Susan's brother is Ganya Ivanov.

I'm guessing Russian family names may be gender-specific? Anyone know?

I'm guessing Russian family names may be gender-specific? Anyone know? Sophie Ivanova

Yes, that's right. I think it's in most Slavic languages that there are gender-specific endings to family names etc.

Kirk: Excuse me....
"God": You have a question for Me?
Kirk: Yes... what would God want with a chicken with a pulley in the middle?

Spock: I now believe we should endulge in the tradition known as the singalong.
Kirk: Great! I haven't had a singalong for ages.
McCoy: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! If you sing, the Universe will be destroyed!
Kirk: Then I'll just stick to the usual "attempts" at pithy poetic drawls.
McCoy: Phew, that was a close one.
Everyone else: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Spock: I now believe we should endulge in the tradition known as... the wet towel fight.

Spock: I have performed much research on the Earth custom of "camping out."

Star Trek 5 again:

Kirk: And yet even as I fell, I knew I wouldn't die!
McCoy: Why not?
Kirk: You see the huge safety net I set up to break my fall?
Spock: No. You forgot to set it up this morning.
Kirk: Oh sh--
Spock: And that's one bar of latinum you owe me, as you bet you wouldn't fall off today.

Rand: Sir! But our orders--
Sulu: Who's the captain, Rand? Eh? WHO's the captain now??


Kirk: By the way, Captain Sulu, before you leave us, the Enterprise is in need of a new communications officer very soon, as our Commander Uhura is due to retire. Is Commander Rand willing to--
Sulu: [all together now] HANDS OFF, SHE'S MINE!!!

By Sven of Nine - `cause it feels so empty without me on Wednesday, August 21, 2002 - 12:28 pm:

More from Star Trek 6:

Scotty: [bursts in] Is someone firing phasers here?!
Spock: Ah, Mr. Scott, the very person. I understand the warp drive is still malfunctioning?
Scotty: There's nothing wrong with the bloody thing...
Spock: No? Ah, well in that case... head for Earth, maximum warp. And Mr. Chekov, break open that unopened case of Romulan ale while we're at it, please?


Azetbur: Make no mistake. We will find out who killed mah paw, an' smoke out those terr'ist folks who think the Klingaan Empah' is on its last legs. Thank you, and Kahless bless The Empire!!


McCoy: I hate to disturb you, Jim, but there's a nasty patch of green on your shoulder.
Kirk: Where? EEEUUUURRRGGGH!! [flicks viridium patch off back and stomps on it] There! That got it!
[Meanwhile, back on Enterprise]
Spock: We've lost them! How could my plan fail?

Dax (singing): The galaxy today seems absolutely crackers
With quantum torpedoes to blow us all sky high
There's Founders and Vortas sitting on the trigger
It's depressing, and it's senseless, and that's why...

I like Ferengis
I like Ferengis
They only come up to your knees
Yet they're always friendly and they're ready to please

Worf (singing): Oh, I'm a warrior, and I'm okay
I sleep all night and I fight all day

Klingon Chorus (singing): He's a warrior, and he's okay
He sleeps all night and he fights all day

Worf: I cut down enemies, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory
On battlefields I go choppin'
And have bloody hearts for tea

Klingon Chorus: He cuts down enemies, he eats his lunch
He goes to the lavatory
On battlefields he goes choppin'
And has bloody hearts for tea

Worf: I cut down enemies, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars

Klingon Chorus: He cuts down enemies, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?

Worf: I chop down enemies, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa

Klingon Chorus: He cuts down enemies, he wears high heels
Suspenders and a bra????
(disgusted walks away, mumbling Klingon insults)

Dax: Oh, Worf! And I thought you were so RUGGED!!

Klingon TV

Singers: Here's the story of a warrior called B'Rady
raising three boys of his own
four warriors, living all together,
but they were all alone
Here's the story of a lovely lady
raising three girls of her own
golden-haired, like their mother
but they were all alone
Till the one day when this lady met this warrior
And they knew it was much more than a hunch
that these houses should somehow join together
And that's how they became the B'Rady Bunch

J'An: M'Arsha! M'Arsha! M'Arsha!

G'Illigan: No, S'Kipper, don't!
S'Kipper: I'm sorry G'Illigan, but you have dishonored us by once again thwarting our attempts to get off this asteroid. (raises bat'leth) Prepare to die.

Reed: I am not gay! That's a just rumor started on the internet!
Hoshi: Then why do you have all these magazines featuring naked men?
Reed: umm, they're suspected saboteurs! Yes, that's it! I'm always on the lookout for suspected saboteurs.

McCoy: Spock, screw logic!
Yeoman Logic: Yes, please!

(The Enterprise-D is surrounded by ships all firing around the Enterprise at each other)
Picard (relaxed): Are our shields up?
Data: Yes, sir.
Picard: Okay. (waits for a while, while the ships continue firing) Open hailing frequencies.
Data: They're ignoring us, sir.
Picard: Okay. (waits some more, while the ships continue firing) Broadcast on all frequencies. Attention ships. You're actions are in violation of Federation rules and if you don't stop I will be forced to report you.
Data: No reply.
Picard: Okay.
Riker: I don't think I've ever seen you so relaxed and laid back, sir.
Picard: Ah, well, I'm imitating the command style of Commander Milkshake. The aliens should give up and go away any time now.

T'Pol: Why is Mr. Mayweather holding a spear?
Archer: Well, he has to do something in this episode.

Archer (to Porthos): Speak boy.
Porthos: Okay, but what shall I say?

By Sophie - back from a week of Getting Up To No Good in Denmark. on Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 02:33 pm:

Reed: I have a terrible secret... I'm straight!
Archer, Tucker, Hoshi, Travis, all my crewmates are gay. I tried to fit in, I really did. [sob] I just can't live the lie any more!

By TomM on Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:02 pm:

Just how much no good were you getting up to in Denmark? Are you still Sophie? Or are you now Stephen?

By Sophie - who`s definitely not posting the photos on Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 04:15 pm:

Oh, I'm definitely still Sophie!
And it was quite a lot of No Good, but all safe, harmless, legal (although not in some US states, I'm sure!) and in good fun.
More I can't say, as there might be younger folk listening...

By Sven of Sven on Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 05:25 pm:

If it was anything like my visit to Amsterdam many years ago....

By Sophie goes forth on Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 10:38 am:

Rom: The way I see it, there's this terrible war going on, right? But there wasn't always a war going on. So there must have been a point where there not being a war went away and the being a war came along. And what I want to know is, how did we get from the one state of affairs to the other state of affairs?

Quark: You mean, "How did the war start?"

Rom: Err, oh yes!

Quark: Well, the Dominion told Starfleet to stay out of the Gamma Quadrant, but Starfleet decided that because they were the good guys it would be OK to keep going into the Gamma Quadrant whenever they felt like it. It was an excellent plan with one tiny flaw.

Rom: Which was?

Quark: It was B******s.

If Archer's Enterprise went to save the whales (STIV)

Archer: Whales in range. Ready cargo bay. Mr Reed, fire grapples.

T'Pol: Congratulations, Captain. You appear to have harpooned the whales.

By KAM on Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 05:35 am:

No, Sophie, this board is for things we WOULDN'T see on Enterprise.

George (or Gracie) to probe: Wipe the humans out! Wipe them ALL out!

Daniels (to Superior): Sir, I think I've discovered another change in the timeline. I'll bring it up on the veiwscreen.
(a veiw of Archer & co. on a planet)
Archer: So you're the new crewman?
Bob: Yes, sir. The name's Bob Kirk.
Archer: Well, why don't you explore that dark cave over there.
Bob: Yes, sir. (goes away, a few minutes later we hear a bloodcurdling scream)
Phlox (over Bob's body): He's dead John.
Daniel's Superior: That's a shame, but what's the worst that could happen because of that?
Daniel: I'll show you a scene from the 23rd century.
Spock: We're approaching the galactic edge Captain Mitchell.
Daniel's Superior: Seems all right to me. (camera reveals that superior is Brannon Braga)

Kirk: Spock, why did it take you so long to say goodbye to the whales?
Spock: The female starting telling me about her brother...

Bashir (talking to his Andorian friend): How come Andorian antennae could move in the 22nd century, but not afterwards?
Andorian: We do not speak of it to outsiders.

By Sophie on Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:37 am:

From Voyager Season 3

Tuvok: Captain, I have determined why Voyager continually encounters the same alien lifeforms. The navigational sensors have been sabotaged and we have been retracing our course. If I am not mistaken, that planet ahead is the Ocampan homeworld.

Kes: It's my fault, Captain. I remembered I left the gas on...

By Sven of Nine - When you`ve absolutely, positively gotta clear every Nittin-Picker from the room... accept no substitutes. on Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:36 pm:

Some lines you wouldn't hear from "Generations":

[as the Enterprise crashes towards the planet:]
Data: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!


Geordi: You know, Guinan, I think Data's emotion chip is malfunctioning.
Guinan: I see what you mean. He's tried out every drink I have - ten times over!
Data: DRINK! DRINK! GIRLS!


Picard: These are our new uniforms, crew. They proved popular on Deep Space Nine.
Riker: Wow! Now I have an excuse for lots of costume changes during this film!


[after the ship crashes]
Data: That was fun! Let's do that again!


Picard: "Avast behind ye, mighty crew!"
Riker: I think you've been playing this holodeck simulation for far too long, sir.


Kirk: Chekov, is that a token in your pocket, or are you just pleased to be in this film?


Guinan: Well, Jean-Luc, it seems like you and Dr. Soran get on like a house on fire. Er, Jean-Luc?! Are you OK? Why are you crying?

By Sven of Nine, he said... on Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:38 pm:

Lursa: Check out my brand new W'N'Dbra armour!

By Sven of Nine once again, he said... on Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:52 pm:

Troi: Is this your nephew, Captain? He looks HOT! Er, Sir? Sir? Are you all right, Sir?

By Sven of Nine with another in the running joke, he said... on Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:54 pm:

Riker: Well, Captain, looks like we blazed through yet another mission again. Sir? You OK? You look very upset all of a sudden....

By Sven of Nine being particularly cruel on old Jean-Luc, he said... on Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 03:17 pm:

Kirk: [sniffs] Hey Picard, do you smell something burning? MY BREAKFAST!
[runs into house and out again with well-burnt food]
Well, they survived that little fire there... Hey Picard, you OK? Why start crying over burnt bacon?

By Sven of Nine at it again, he said... on Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 03:21 pm:

[The Enterprise fires the killer torpedo that destroys Lursa's BoP...]

Data: WOO-HOO! Who's on fire? Worf's on fire!!
Riker: Let's just be glad the Captain's on the planet below right now, Data, or he'll roast your hide like a... oh just never mind.

By Sophie - ducking for cover on Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 03:02 am:

Data: Doh ray me fah ... what comes next, Captain?
Picard: Make it Soh.

Data: What should I do with the holographic lawyer?
Picard: Make it sue.

Data: What should I do with this automatic seeding machine?
Picard: Make is sow.

Data: What shall I do with this antique stitching machine?
Picard: Make it sew.

By KAM having fun with a mistake Josh M made on another board on Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 04:13 am:

Picard: I'm sorry, Will, but I've decided to replace you with John Rikard of the LICC.

Troi: I'm sorry, Will, but I've decided to dump you and date John Rikard.
