    Are you wearing some unusual kind of perfume, or something radioactive, my dear? - McCoy

    Does your logic find this 'fascinating', Mr Spock?
    'Fascinating' is a word I use for the unexpected. In this case, I should think 'interesting' would suffice. - McCoy and Spock

    Spock is contaminating that boy! - McCoy (lol :D)

    The law is paramount! - The Sheliak (paramount humor)

    Seems human enough to me! - Guinan after stabbing Q with a fork (:D)

    What do I have to do to convince you [I am human]?
    Die!
    Very clever, Worf. Eaten any good books lately? - Q and Worf

    Worfs best and funniest... when Q sends them to Sherwood forest. "Captain i must protest, i am not a merry man!"


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,393 ✭✭✭Inspector Gadget


    Hmm... Worf Quotes, eh?

    "I do not smirk. But if I did, this would be a good opportunity"
    -- Worf, TNG "By Inferno's Light"

    Worf: "That is how a Klingon lures a mate."
    Wesley: "Are you telling me to yell at Salia?"
    Worf: "No, no, no. Men do not roar. Women roar. Then they hurl heavy objects. And claw at you."
    Wesley: "What does the man do?"
    Worf: "He reads love poetry. He ducks a lot."
    Wesley: "Worf, it sounds like it works great for the Klingons, but... I need to try something a little less... dangerous?"
    Worf: "Go to her door, beg like a human."
    -- TNG "The Dauphin"

    Worf (referring to Garak): "At the first sign of betrayal I will kill him, but I promise to return the body intact."
    Sisko: "I assume that's a joke."
    Worf: "We will see"
    -- DS9 "In Purgatory's Shadow"

    (and by the way, the actual quote people are trying to come up with above is: )
    "Sir, I Protest! I am NOT a merry man!!!"
    -- Worf, TNG "Qpid"

    ...some quotes with Worf in them:

    Worf: "You are not in my shoes."
    Dax: "Too bad. You'd be amazed at what I can do in a pair of size 18's."
    -- DS9 "Looking for Par'Mach in All the Wrong Places"

    Worf: "Life is a great deal more complicated in this red uniform"
    Sisko: "Wait until you get four pips on your collar; you'll wish you went into botany"
    -- DS9 "Rules of Engagement"

    ...but one of my favourite SciFi quotes is another Trek one, but this time, Q (don't have the episode name, sorry), but it's a classic:

    "It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent"

    Gadget :D

    -- (Unknown)

    "I hate weather. Did I mention that? Rev...You're a monk. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the Divine had wanted us to suffer through weather, he would have never have given us space travel. Am I right?"
    -- Beka Valentine, "Exit Strategies"

    "Trust you? Couldn't we start with something easier? Perpetual motion, maybe? Universal translator?"
    -- Beka Valentine, "A Heart For Falsehood Framed"

    "Oh, you want a pep talk? OK, do your jobs, don't screw up, and we'll all get out of this alive...maybe."
    -- Dylan Hunt, "Pitiless As The Sun"

    DARK HELMET: What's wrong with it?
    RADAR TECH: I've lost the bleeps, I've lost the sweeps, and I've lost the creeps.
    DARK HELMET: The what?
    RADAR TECH: The what?
    DARK HELMET: And the what?
    RADAR TECH: You know, the bleeps (makes bleep noise), the sweeps (sweep noise) and the creeps (creep noise).
    DARK HELMET: That's not all he's lost!

    The 'Londo Mollari' character in B5 ended up with a large proportion of the funnier quotes from that show; I thought I'd share a few funnyish ones...

    Gadget

    ==============================

    "There is a natural law. Physics tells us, that for every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction. They hate us, we hate them, they hate us back. And so, here we are - victims of mathematics."
    -- "A Voice In The Wilderness (Part I)"

    Vir: "I thought the purpose of filing these reports was to provide accurate intelligence--?"
    Londo: "Vir, Intelligence has nothing to do with politics."
    -- "Point Of No Return"

    "Only an idiot fights a war on two fronts. Only the heir to the kingdom of idiots would fight a war on twelve fronts."
    -- "Ceremonies of Light and Dark"

    "If you see something this big with eight legs coming your way, let me know, I have to kill it before it develops language skills"
    -- "Sic Transit Vir"

    "On my world, we have learned, an inauguration is simply a signal to assassins that a new target has been setup on the firing range."
    -- "No Compromises"

    "You have that vacant look in your eyes, that says 'Hold my head to your ear, you'll hear the sea!'"
    -- "The Very Long Night Of Londo Mollari"

    "The Universe is an evil place, but at least it seems to have a sense of humor about the whole thing."
    -- "The Very Long Night Of Londo Mollari"

    "The Universe hates me, you know. I don't know why. I have never done anything to the Universe... Uh ... Well, all right, a few things, but after a while, you would think it would be enough. Yes, we have had our little fun with Londo Mollari for now. Perhaps, it is time to move on and find someone else to play with??"
    -- "A View From The Gallery"

    Londo: "What do you eat when I am gone?"
    Vir: "Well, I ... obviously we have plenty of ... uh ... I eat at McBari's."
    Londo: "Mcbari's? Is that the new place in the brown sector? With the golden, uhm ..."
    Vir: "Golden head bones. Yes."
    Londo: "Vir! We are not biologically equipped to handle fast food!"
    Vir: "I know, I know. But it tastes so great going down. Coming up again, it is not so terrific."
    -- "Meditations On The Abyss"

    Londo: "I have this feeling, something is terribly wrong."
    G'kar: "You're at war with everyone in the known Universe. Perhaps you were thinking of that?"
    -- "Movements Of Fire And Shadow"

    clearly a classic :D

    also from red-dwarf,

    Rimmer: step up to red alert
    Kryton: are you absolutly sure sir, that would mean changing the bulb!


    "it's just like golf lister, keep a firm grip on your club, your eye on the ball and try not to sway to the left or the right"


    "stoke me a clipper, ill be back for christmas"


    "Just this morning you referred to me as 'a cancerous polyp on the anus of humanity'."


    "I just want to say: over the years, I have come to regard you as ... people I met."


    "Um, I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is "What are we going to call ourselves?" um, and I think it comes down to a choice between `The League Against Salivating Monsters' or my own personal preference, which is `The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society'. Um, one drawback with that... the abbreviation is `CLITORIS'."


    "Ahh, 'smug mode'."

    Here are some good quotes from the 'outer limits' thread of a while back...


    Inspector Gadget posted...
    "'Secure' is such a relative term, isn't it?"

    "Paranoid is what they call people who imagine they have threats against their life"

    Another good Bashir/Garak exchange:
    Bashir: "They broke seven of your ribs and fractured your clavicle!"
    Garak: "Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos"
    -- from "The Way Of The Warrior"

    "I'd like to get my hands on that fellow Earl Grey and tell him a thing or two about tea leaves"
    -- from "In Purgatory's Shadow"

    A possible rarity, an Odo/Garak exchange:
    Odo: "You'd shoot a man in the back?"
    Garak: "It's the safest way, isn't it?"
    -- from "Call To Arms"

    "I always hope for the best; unfortunately, experience has taught me to expect the worst"
    -- from "Sacrifice of Angels pt.2"

    ...and to nail it off (and complete the list of quotes sitting in my Palmpilot):
    "To think, after all this time, all our lunches together, you still don't trust me? There's hope for you yet, Doctor"
    -- from "Distant Voices"

    Trojan posted...
    Bashir: So of the stories you told me, which ones were true?
    Garak: My dear doctor, all of them were true.
    Bashir: What about the lies?
    Garak: Especially the lies.

    The Corinthian posted...
    "The truth is only a lie that hasn't been discovered yet."

    "Always burn your bridges after you, you never know who might be trying to follow."

    "The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination."

    "I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don't trust coincidences."

    (Bashir tells the story of the boy who cried "Wolf")
    Bashir: "If you lie all the time, no one is going to believe you, even when you're telling the truth."
    Garak: "Are you sure that's the point, Doctor?"
    Bashir: "Of course. What else would it be?"
    Garak: "That you should never tell the same lie twice."

    One of my favourites: "Treason, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder" - Garak

    "Kryten personal blackbox recording. Time: unknown. Location: unknown. Cause of accident: unknown. Should someone find this recording, perhaps it will shed light as to what happened here. My short-term memory has been erased. This I ascribe to the proximity of the magnetic coils from Starbug's rear engine. Secondly, due to the proximity of the magnetic coils, my short-term memory appears to have been erased. This, combined with the erasure of my short-term memory, has left me a little disoriented."
    -- Kryten, Red Dwarf, "Terrorform"
