Raining all day today, I just had the long walk into work and “Trust me, there’s no word for ‘crisp’ on Ferenginar.” comes into my head. What is one of your favorites?
So many great lines to choose from. I’m watching Our Man Bashir right now and these stand out:
Garak: Kiss the girl, get the key. They never taught me that in the Obsidian Order.
A little later in the episode…
Bashir shoots at Garak grazing his neck.
Garak: Doctor, that was awfully close! What if you’d killed me?
Bashir: What makes you think I wasn’t trying?
Garak: Doctor, I do believe there’s hope for you yet.
Bashir: Ah, I’m so relieved. Now we have to get to the control room. Are you coming or not?
Garak: Well, who am I to question Julian Bashir, secret agent? Lead on!
Every one of us has a thousand different kinds of little people inside of us, and some of them want to get out and be wild, and some want to be sad or happy or inventive, or even just go dancing! That’s why we all have so many different urges at different times. And all those different little people inside of us: we must never be afraid to take them with us wherever we go. Who knows when we may need one of them to pop up and rescue us from ourselves! Variety, my dear Alex. The great secret is not the variety of life, it’s the variety of us.
TNG of course, S04E11, Data’s Day
Riker: “Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you.*”
I remember it with ‘sometimes’ instread of ‘some days’ and somehow it deeply resonates with me.
Freedom!? That is our sacred word!
Mudd: “Human beings do not survive on bread alone … but on the nourishments of liberty. For what indeed is a man without freedom … naught but a mechanism, trapped in the cogwheels of eternity.”
