Samanthan Rutherford quotes from Star Trek: Lower Decks

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.

We can escape through the maintenance hatch.

D'Vana Tendi

It was sealed off months ago. Don't you remember?

No, Tendi, I don't remember, and that's the problem. My whole deal is repairing starships. If I can't fix this little toy, then I don't even know who I am anymore.

D'Vana Tendi

You're still Samathan Rutherford.

Am I? The old me was better. I can't figure out his notes and I'm like a year behind being friends with you. It's like I'm competing with my own ghost.

D'Vana Tendi

So you'll really turn down working on a whole new engine?

Well, it would be nice to see how the other half channels their antimatter.

Man, I'm not cut out for this.

D'Vana Tendi

But you fix the Cerritos all the time.

Yeah, but this is different. We're talking about a fancy cruiser stuffed with fancy monarchs.

I'm going to tell Billups he should use someone else.

D'Vana Tendi

No, you belong there as much as anyone else. You need to get outside your comfort zone.

But I love my zone. It's so comfortable!

Hysperia? That's the planet with the dragons that got colonized by all those Ren Faire types! Did you grow up in a castle?

Andy Billups

Yes. But a life of mythical adventure can't compare to working on the old impulse engine.

I've gotta stop Billups from doing the do!

You're too late! My royal guards are trained from birth to skip foreplay.
