[having a nervous breakdown due to the antics of the Cerritos' engineering team] Engineers! All of them! All of them are all goddamn Geordi La Forges!

PAPetra Aberdeen
See more where that came from, kid. Just join the Indie Archaeologists Guild.
More like "Space Thieves". Hey, why don't you go in that museum and steal some artifacts? I know you want to.
PAPetra Aberdeen
Oh, right! Because everyone who doesn't salute their boss is a criminal.
You know, lady, if you are really dedicated to the "pursuit of knowledge" then you're kind of limiting yourself by not being in Starfleet, actually.
PAPetra Aberdeen
Ooh, actually, I was in Starfleet. Petra Aberdeen -- graduated the Academy, did a tour in the fleet before wising up and getting out.
Whoa, you served on the Victory? Pfft. Well, you must've screwed up pretty bad to end up here.
PAPetra Aberdeen
Tch, sure! Why leave the big, fancy ships for a life of freedom and nonviolence?
Starfleet isn't violent!
PAPetra Aberdeen
Well, tell that to the Romulans! The Klingons, the Cardassians...
Wha-- They attack us! It's self-defense!
PAPetra Aberdeen
Oh, right! You guys totally aren't a pseudo Navy at all.
Without Starfleet, none of you would exist! We don't wanna protect you from the Klingons and the Borg! We just wanna explore and study (bleep)ing quasars! But you know what? It's the right thing to do!
[confronting the Wadi booth] You're always getting people trapped inside of games! Stop trapping people inside of games!
RRecruit
If being in Starfleet gives you that kind of confidence, then I want in! He just told a Ferengi to [long bleep].
The Doctor didn't spend seven years in the Delta Quadrant for you (bleep)s to question his agency! He's got rights!
I was always so angry at everything. But you... all that rage is gone.
Can't we merge and just be both of us? All our memories combined?
Nah. Then we'd both be gone. Sometimes, it's better to grow...
Don't doubt me! I failed the Kobayashi Maru seventeen times, mother(bleep)ers!
(upon seeing Deep Space 9) Tacky Cardassian fascist eyesore!
I know this scarred old barrow-bug! How are you, Shaxs? [she and Shaxs clasp hands]
Any day not living under Cardassian rule is a good one.
We were in the resistance together. He saved my life during a raid on the Haru outposts. I still owe you for that one.
No you don't. She saved my life when we were ambushed at Vannakur.
Yeah, because I owed you for pulling me out of that plasma storm in the Badlands!
We wouldn't have even made it to the Badlands if you hadn't sprung me from that prison transport!
You sprung me from one the week before!
That one didn't count! We were both locked up! Come on!
[Quark is being extremely standoffish to a Karemman ambassador Captain Freeman is trying to impress]
Do us a favour here, Quark. We're trying to make a good impression.
Maybe I don't want to make a good impression.
AKAmbassador Korzak
Oh, and why is that?
A little thing called the Dominion War? I don't remember the Karemma helping out when my customers were dying!
AKAmbassador Korzak
We had nothing to do with that! The Founders and the Vorta were behind-!
Oh right, you were so innocent! I've done business with your kind before, I'm not dumb enough to repeat that mistake!
AKAmbassador Korzak
You bring me here to be insulted by this long-lobed halfling?!
What is your problem?
I have principles!
No you don't!
[After Captain Freeman has negotiated a deal where the Karemma get 76% of Quark's profits in return for not imprisoning him for stealing their technology]
I thought you said your plan would make us both happy.
Well, you're happier being poor than in prison, aren't you?
NO!
[being arrested by the Cerritos crew] You're all just jealous of my advanced intelligence! You know who I should've called? The Borg. Oh, yeah. The Borg would love me! I'm gonna do it right now, in fact. You're all going to get assimilated. See how you like being organic then! Huh? Huh? [Shaxs grabs her] Stop that, don't touch me! Resistance is futile! Resistance is futi...!
HSHikaru Sulu
Brad, I've lost many friends. Some, heroically. Some, tragically. The randomness of death is merely a reflection of the unexpected joys we find in life.
So if I spend my life worrying about a meaningless death, I'll never find joy?
HSHikaru Sulu
I literally just said that.
