It wouldn't be the Enterprise without a Sulu at the helm.
(to Picard in the Nexus) Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of [the Enterprise] because while you're there, you can make a difference.
(last words) It was... fun. Oh, my.
B'Etor Human females are so repulsive.
Oh, shit!
Data, come take a look at this, will you? Have you ever seen a solar probe with this kind of configuration?
No, Geordi, I have not. Have you? [to his tricorder] No, I have not. It is most unusual. [laughs] Mister Tricorder!
You left spacedock without a tractor beam?
It won't be installed until Tuesday.
Congratulations, Ensign. It wouldn't be the Enterprise without a Sulu at the helm.
Demora Sulu Thank you, sir.
I'm sure Hikaru must be very proud of you.
Demora Sulu I hope so.
Did we do it? Did we make a difference?
Oh, yes. We made a difference. Thank you.
The least I could do... for the captain of the Enterprise. It was... fun. Oh, my.
[Kirk's last words]
Take us out.
Very good, sir.
Brought a tear to me eye.
Oh, be quiet.
Who am I to argue with the captain of the Enterprise? What's the name of that planet? Veridian III?
Yes.
I take it the odds are against us and the situation is grim.
You could say that.
You know, if Spock were here, he'd say that I was an irrational, illogical human being for taking on a mission like that. Sounds like fun.
You say history considers me dead. Who am I to argue with history?
You're a Starfleet officer. You have a duty.
I don't need to be lectured by you. I was out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers. I'd say the galaxy owes me one.
If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's never underestimate a Klingon.
Computer, remove the plank!
Of course, sir. [leans over the side toward Worf] Sorry!
What you're about to do, Soran, is no different from when the Borg destroyed your world. They killed millions, too, including your wife... your children.
Nice try. You know there, was a time when I wouldn't hurt a fly. Then the Borg came, and they showed me that if there is one constant in this whole universe, it's death. Afterwards, I began to realize that it didn't really matter. We're all going to die sometime. It's just a question of how and when. You will, too, Captain. Aren't you beginning to fell time gaining on you? It's like a predator. It's stalking you. Oh, you can try and outrun it with doctor, medicines, new technologies, but in the end, time is going to hunt you down and make the kill.
It's our mortality that defines us, Soran. It's part of the truth of our existence.
What if I told you I found a new truth?
The nexus?
Time has no meaning there. The predator has no teeth.
Captain Kirk, I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.
First, move us within transporter range, beam those people aboard the Enterprise.
What about the gravimetric distortions? They'll tear us apart.
Risk is part of the game if you want to sit in that chair.
Helm, close to within transporter range.
Second, [to reporter] turn that damned thing off.
I remember reading about your missions when I was in grade school.
Oh, really?
Finding retirement a little lonely, are we?
You know, I'm glad you're an engineer. With tact like that, you'd make a lousy psychiatrist.
