Picard never hit me!<br />Sisko: I'm not Picard. <br /><br />From ST IV:<br />McCoy: "The bureaucratic mentality is the only constant in the universe." <br /><br />From First Contact:<br />Picard (after Lily hands over her stolen phaser): "Maximum setting. If you had fired, you would have disintegrated me." <br />Lily: "It's my first ray gun."<br /><br />Also from First Contact, when Lily challenges Picard over staying on the Enterprise instead of blowing up the ship. The whole scene is fantastic, starting with Lily's charging into Picard's ready room and calling him "You son of a b**ch!" The climax of this terrific scene comes when Picard says this:<br /> <br />"I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, and no further! And I will make them PAY for what they've done!"<br /><br />Finally, from DS9's "The Way of the Warrior", after a bunch of Klingons beat up Garak. <br /><br />Bashir: They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle.<br />Garak: Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos.<br /><br />-- Big MoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-85517012239441910142012-06-20T09:30:36.462-04:002012-06-20T09:30:36.462-04:00There's also an episode where Q asks Worf &quo...There's also an episode where Q asks Worf "Eaten any good books lately?"<br /><br />Q was always good with the one liners...

At the request of Commander Sisko, I will hereafter be recording a daily log of law enforcement affairs. The reason for this exercise is beyond my comprehension, except perhaps that humans have a compulsion to keep records and lists and files, so many in fact that they have to invent new ways to store them microscopically; otherwise, their records would overrun all known civilizations. My own very adequate memory not being good enough for Starfleet, I am pleased to put my voice to this official record of this day: Everything's under control.
