Beckett Mariner quotes from Star Trek: Lower Decks

Kayshon

Apologies, my Federation Standard is still shaky.

Jet Manhaver

It's no problem, sir. Or, should I say, it's no Beast at Tanagra.

Beckett Mariner

More like suck-up at Tanagra.

D'Vana Tendi

Red alerts from that worm hole kept me up half the night.

Beckett Mariner

Oh, I know. It's like, 'Are we crossing the event horizon or not?' Like, I don't care actually. I just want you to pick one.

Beckett Mariner

Don't feel bad that you don't know much about my life. I keep it vague on purpose.

D'Vana Tendi

Why?

Beckett Mariner

Every time I open up, people get promoted and take off. It's better to just keep it surface level and never have friends instead of always losing them.

Beckett Mariner

Don't be so hard on yourself. It was just a mistake.

D'Vana Tendi

I don't get to make mistakes like you do. It was hard getting into the Academy. There's still a lot of stigma around Orions. A lot of humans think we're all thieves and pirates! Wait, my cousin works in a thieves' den in a pirate outpost in this sector. He might be able to help us out.

Beckett Mariner

As long as you aren't bothered by the optics, it works for me.

He saved my life! You know what, I'm going to ask him.

Brad Boimler

They don't like it when people ask how they came back, man. It's probably just a transporter buffer thing.

Beckett Mariner

Yeah, or a restored katra, or a Mirror Universe switcheroo, or the Borg rebuilt him...

Brad Boimler

Or he could be a future son from an alternate timeline, or maybe he got Genesis deviced, or a time ribbon.

Beckett Mariner

Or he was trapped in the Nexus.

Brad Boimler

Nexus, time ribbon, it's the same thing.

Shaxs is alive?

Beckett Mariner

Yeah, guess so. Bridge officers are always coming back from the dead. You gonna finish that muffin?

Cheater! You claimed you were only a beginner!

Beckett Mariner

Yeah, I'm beginning to school your ugly ass.

Brad Boimler

Guess who I get to meet today! The creator of Fair Haven himself, Captain Proton himself: Lieutenant Tom Paris!

Beckett Mariner

No way! That's awesome! Is he still a salamander?

D'Vana Tendi

Dr. T'Ana's gonna know I violated her trust! I'm gonna get fired!

Beckett Mariner

Hey, no. Stop that. No one's getting fired over Jeremy, okay?

Beckett Mariner

Tendi, you gotta warn me if we're gonna be meeting up with a sexy bad boy, that's my type. Well, one of my types.

D'Vana Tendi

You have a thing for bad boys?

Beckett Mariner

Oh, I'm always dating bad boys. Bad girls, bad gender-nonbinary babes, ruthless alien masterminds, bad Bynars...

Beckett Mariner

Let's hit the phaser range. I need moving targets.

Brad Boimler

This isn't work. We're playing Diplomats!

And we're at a crucial point in the negotiations. We're both about to lose!

Beckett Mariner

Why is that good?

Brad Boimler

If both sides are equally unsatisfied with the negotiation, you can close the deal.

Beckett Mariner

What's got you so jumpy?

Brad Boimler

Just excited to see a mugato.

Beckett Mariner

Oh, you would be. Just stay out of my way down there. Or else.

Ahh! Or else what?

Beckett Mariner

I don't know, we'll get poisoned by a mugato – you guys are so weird, sometimes.

Shaxs

Oh, Mariner, what's happening?

Beckett Mariner

Those two beautiful, nerdy men are negotiating us to safety using the power of math.

Brad Boimler

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I didn't even know you had feelings.

Beckett Mariner

Of course, I do! I just don't show them to everyone. I don't know why I make an exception for you.

Brad Boimler

We can forget about the party because guess what? We're probably getting arrested instead.

Beckett Mariner

No way, I didn't put on underwear for nothing.
