Grilka is from the Mekro'vak region. It is customary among her people for the man to bring the leg of a Lingta to the first courtship dinner. Make sure it is fresh, as if you had just killed it. Then, use the leg to sweep aside everything on the table... and declare in a loud voice, "I have brought you this. From this day, I wish to provide food for you and your House, and all I ask is to share your company and do honor to your name."
S5 E3Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places
(examining an injured Quark) A compound fracture of the right radius, two fractured ribs, torn ligaments, strained tendons, numerous contusions, bruises, and scratches. What have you been doing?
You mean, (taking Grilka's hand) what have we been doing?
(Quark and Grilka erupt into naughty laughter)
(unsettled) Never mind. I don't need that particular image running around my head. I'll just treat you.
[He turns around to see Worf and Dax, both bruised and bleeding, entering the infirmary.]
What happened to you two?
We, uh...
Well, if you must know—
[becoming flustered] No! I don't need that particular image, either. In fact, I'm going to stop asking that question altogether! People can come in, I will treat them, and that will be all.
S5 E4...Nor the Battle to the Strong
It takes courage to look inside yourself, and even more courage to write it for other people to see.
S5 E5The Assignment
[Preparing for a top-secret assignment]
I won't even tell them my name.
Rom, everyone on the station knows your name.
Well... I won't confirm it.
S5 E6Trials and Tribble-ations
DDDTI Agent Dulmer
Captain, why'd you take the Defiant back in time?
It was an accident.
DLDTI Agent Lucsly
So you're not contending it was a predestination paradox.
DDulmer
A time loop? That you were meant to go back into the past?
No.
DDulmer
Good.
LLucsly
We hate those. So... what happened?
This may take some time.
DDulmer
Is that a joke?
No.
LLucsly
Good.
DDulmer
We hate those, too.
Don't take it personally, Worf.
I... rather like the way you smell.
Yeah, sort of... earthy, peaty aroma.
With a touch of... lilac.
DDulmer
Be specific, Captain. Which Enterprise? There've been five.
LLucsly
Six.
This was the first Enterprise. Constitution-class.
[Both agents sit back, astonished]
DDulmer
His ship.
LLucsly
James T. Kirk.
[grins] The one and only.
DDulmer
Seventeen separate temporal violations. The biggest file on record.
LLucsly
The man was a menace.
I'm a doctor, not an historian.
In the old days, Operations officers wore red, Command officers wore gold.
And women wore less. [shows off her outfit...which suits her]
I think I'm going to like history.
DDax
I had no idea.
What?
DDax
He’s so much more handsome in person. Those eyes.
Kirk had quite the reputation as a ladies’ man.
DDax
Not him — Spock.
Where did you get that... thing?
From a man named Cyrano Jones. He told me tribbles like everyone. Well, this one doesn't seem to like you.
THE FEELING'S-- [lowers his voice] The feeling's mutual. They are detestable creatures!
Hm... interesting. It's been my observation that most humanoids love soft, furry animals, especially if they make pleasing sounds.
They do nothing but consume food and breed. If you feed that thing more than the smallest morsel, in a few hours you'll have ten tribbles, then a hundred, then a thousand!
Calm down.
They were once considered mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire.
[scoffs] This?! A mortal enemy of the Empire?
They were an ecological menace, a plague to be wiped out.
Wiped out?! What are you saying?!
Hundreds of warriors were sent to track them down throughout the galaxy. An armada obliterated the Tribble homeworld. By the end of the 23rd century, they had been eradicated.
Another glorious chapter of Klingon history. Tell me, do they still sing songs of the Great Tribble Hunt? [chuckles]
[regarding the appearance of 23rd-century Klingons]
Mr. Worf.
They are Klingons. And, it is a long story.
What happened? Genetic engineering?
A viral mutation?
We do not discuss it with outsiders!
MSMontgomery Scott
Laddie... don't you think you should... rephrase that?
KKorax
You're right. I should. I didn't mean to say that the Enterprise should be hauling garbage. I meant to say that it should be hauled away as garbage.
LMLeonard McCoy
[about tribbles] They're born pregnant.
JTJames T. Kirk
I want these things off the ship. I don't care if it takes every man we've got. I want them off the ship.
