Star Trek: The Animated Series quotes

It's beautiful. What kind of people could have built it? To touch even a starship with grace and beauty?

Kirk

A civilization that advanced 300 million years ago before life even emerged on Earth.

McCoy

Barely an instant in eternity, Jim.

My apologies, visitor. I regret you were witness to that unfortunate display of emotion on the part of my son.

Spock

In the family, all is silence. No more will be said of it. Live long and prosper, Sarek of Vulcan.

Spock

The brain could be completely destroyed if we convert the entire ship to energy aimed at the brain's cortex and expend the energy in one mortal strike.

McCoy

That sounds like you're telling us to blow up the ship.

Spock

I believe that is what I just said, Doctor.

Spock

The form is humanoid. There are many internal differences. Their bodies appear to function on an unusual psychokinesis level.

McCoy

First time I ever admired a body function.

Under space salvage laws, (the Glommer's) mine!

A planetary surface isn't covered under space salvage laws. But, if you want the little beastie that bad, Mr. Jones, we'll transport you over with it.

I withdraw my claim!

You appear to have a propensity for trespassing in Neutral Zone, Captain Kirk.

Kirk

It was not deliberate, I assure you.

It never is.

It's a mobile plant. When it stops, its roots bore back into the ground. They're all over the place. I think it likes me.

Kirk

We always encourage our officers to make friends with the natives.

Spock

I am pleasantly surprised at your capacity for deductive reasoning, Captain. When you are not being bellicose, there appears to be no end to your arsenal of formidable talents.

This isn't easy, you know. Holding us together like this, it's not even natural.

McCoy

Being in one place is very natural where we come from.

Spock

I find this all quite absorbing, Doctor.

McCoy

Probably because you're not very natural to begin with, Spock.

Spock

Lucien, you alone of all those here do not seem to fear or hate humans. Why?

They are like me. With questions to be answered, with minds that range outwards, boundless. But every Megan is always alone in his sphere of knowledge. Humans are always together. They share. That is why I adopted your ship when I saw it arrive.

McCoy

You think Lucien really was the demon some men call Lucifer?

Kirk

Does it really matter, Bones?

Spock

It just might, Captain. If he was, this would be the second time Lucifer was cast out. And thanks to you, the first time he was saved.

Spock

The Queen of Hearts and her cards are characters from Alice Through the Looking Glass, Captain.

Kirk

I read the book as a child, Mr. Spock, but I wasn't aware you indulged in the literature of fantasy.

Spock

Light reading is considered relaxing, Captain. My mother was particularly fond of Lewis Carroll's work.

McCoy

Did I ever tell you about the time I saved Captain Kirk's life? Or Spock's? And my dear friend Scotty. And that pretty little Lt. Uhura. I've saved about everybody on this here ship. If the Enterprise had a heart, I'd save you, too. Now let's talk about your heart, my dear.

I do not know how to beg. I can only request. Save as many of my people as you can.

Your willingness to work with your old enemy Kirk. It is not like you, Commander. What do you really have in mind?

You do know me, Kaz. Very well. What would you think of the Enterprise suddenly disintegrated after our duel ship had pierced the time continuum.

I would think my commander had maneuvered brilliantly.
