Captain Carol Freeman quotes from Star Trek: Lower Decks

I thought you said this trash wasn't worth fighting for.

Captain Carol Freeman

We're not fighting.

Avoiding damage is fighting!

Captain Carol Freeman

Ugh! We can talk this out.

*bleep* you!

Brad Boimler

I Think we should do what you want to do, Captain. Captain's choice.

Captain Carol Freeman

I'm not asking you to kiss my ass. Come on. No wrong answers.

Brad Boimler

Well, okay. We could do uh evasive maneuver eighty… eight?

T'Ana

Is he *bleep* serious?

Captain Carol Freeman

What the hell are you doing?!

Beckett Mariner

You said 'Send them a message.' That means phasers!

Captain Carol Freeman

It means to send them a message to invite them to dinner!"

Beckett Mariner

No it doesn't!

Carol Freeman

Ugh. Landru.

Jack Ransom

I know, it's always weird revisiting planets from the TOS era.

Carol Freeman

TOS?

Jack Ransom

It's what I call the 2260s. Stands for 'those old scientists' – You know, Spock, Scotty, those guys. Seems like they were stumbling on crazy new aliens every week back then.

Jack Ransom

From now on, I'll make sure to give you special attention.

Carol Freeman

No! Be as hard on her as you always are!

Beckett Mariner

Yeah, be hard on me!

Jack Ransom

I'm only hard on you when you make me hard! I mean I'm – I'm not hard right now! I mean I could – I could get hard, if I wanted to, but I'm not hard right now. I'm so sorry! You're both great!

Carol Freeman

This doesn't make any sense. The Pakleds aren't this powerful.

Jack Ransom

I thought they were kind of a joke.

Brad Boimler

Yeah, you guys aren't wrong. Pakleds would fake distress calls so they could steal technology from anyone who showed up to help, but I'm detecting weapons from over thirty different species.

Carol Freeman

Ah, looks like they're not a joke anymore.

Carol! I guess those Cali-class ships can hold their own longer than people say.

Carol Freeman

Thanks for the assist, captain.

No need to be so formal. You know, I was her mentor.

Carol Freeman

Uh, yeah, well I remember it differently.

You were sort of my cha'DIch! We used to get in so much trouble!

Carol Freeman

'We'?"

Captain Carol Freeman

I can't even begin to imagine how I'm going to replace [Shaxs]

Beckett Mariner

Well, wherever he is, I'm sure he's full-throat screaming in someone's face and ejecting a warp core.

Captain Carol Freeman

I'd like to think you're right.

Captain Carol Freeman

How much contraband have you hidden on my ship?

Beckett Mariner

I don't know. A lot!

Captain Carol Freeman

Nothing against second contact missions but the Cerritos should be popping in on those legacy civilizations BEFORE they unravel.

Ransom

Yeah, but popping in is against regulation. We would need specific orders.

Captain Carol Freeman

I just hate seeing a perfectly good society get destroyed by a Gamester of Triskelion and/or whatever because Starfleet has a policy of SOME intervention.

Captain Carol Freeman

I can't believe you all started reworshipping the dang computer!

Well, Landru is very persuasive.

Consume the intruders! Obey Landru!

Captain Carol Freeman

Hey! Don't make me paradox you into destroying yourself.

Landru apologizes!

Jack Ransom

We're out of options!

Captain Carol Freeman

Then I need someone to make me some.

Beckett Mariner

Me? What am I supposed to do? I don't know these guys!

Captain Carol Freeman

Do what you do best. I need a dangerous, half-baked solution that breaks Starfleet codes and totally pisses me off. That's an order.

Captain Carol Freeman

Humanity has a complicated relationship with organized religion.

T’Ana

Well, strange energies doesn't. Ever hear of Gary Mitchell? It got real weird, real fast.

Beckett Mariner

Love you, Mom.

Carol Freeman

Love you, too. Never disobey me again!

Beckett Mariner

I do what I want!

Jack Ransom

The away team is awaiting your orders, Captain.

Captain Carol Freeman

Sorry, Commander. I forgot you were there.

Jack Ransom

That does tend to happen a lot these days.
