Brad Boimler quotes from Star Trek: Lower Decks

Brad Boimler

Stay strong, brother. We miners shall overcome.

Dude, you're clearly Starfleet. Your hands are super soft and clean.

Brad Boimler

Uh, no, I'm a miner with a heart of gold. And I have dad issues.

Brad Boimler

Aw, man. A copy of me got transported out? Boo.

I'm the transporter clone? Boo.

Hey, I wish I could be on a ship that's exploring and solving science mysteries instead of nonstop fighting.

Brad Boimler

Like on the D?

Exactly. Damn, do I miss that ship. Enjoy it while you have it, Bradward.

Brad Boimler

I will, sir.

This is what we signed up for, men. To boldly go. Boimler?

Brad Boimler

Uh, I'm sorry. I gotta be honest. I didn't join Starfleet to get in phaser fights. I signed up to explore, to be out in space, making new discoveries and peaceful diplomatic solutions. That's boldly going.

Brad Boimler

I got transporter cloned.

Ah-ha! Pay up.

D'Vana Tendi

Dammit. How did you possibly guess that?

I dunno. It just seemed like a Boimler thing to happen.

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.

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?

Brad Boimler

Computer, emergency shutdown!

Authorization not recognized.

Brad Boimler

You don't need authorization in an emergency!!

You are Brad Boimler, and you've been in tougher spots than this. Now open up a panel and start figuring out a solution.

Brad Boimler

You're right. Thanks, Tom Paris.

I am a little worried about the fumes in here though. You know, since you're talking to a plate.

Brad Boimler

I don't know. I kinda like 'em.

Brad Boimler

So I was reading up on the Mugato. Did you know they have alternative pronunciations? Mugatu, Mugutu, and Gumato? Isn't that neat and inconsistent?

Hm.

Brad Boimler

Dude, I'm talking alien pronunciations here. That's, like, your favorite thing. What's up?

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.

Brad Boimler

Even if we did believe you, how do you explain the Atlantis? Half the crew disappeared with no explanation.

Did you eat them?!

Brad Boimler

I wish Mariner was a super soldier.

Or if only we had special powers.

Brad Boimler

Wait, we do. I mean, maybe not here, but here.

Our skin!

Brad Boimler

Our brains. It's our brains.

Brains, right. Brains are inside of our skin.

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.
