Quotes:

Captain Elizabeth Lochley: You're asking the impossible.::President John Sheridan: Then I am asking the right person.

[last lines]::President John Sheridan: Those who command the Excalibur will never stop, never give up, never slow down, until a cure is found. We will take any help we can get, wherever and whoever it comes from. Because this is a cause that surpasses borders and differences and distrust. This is a mission about the survival of Earth itself. What we do over the next five years, here and at home, and across the darkness of between the stars will determine the whether an entire world will live or die. It's a fight we can't afford to lose and we won't. We won't!

Galen: No, not a dream, a nightmare. And if sometimes dreams come true, what of our nightmares?

Leonard Anderson: [after Dureena extracted a data Crystal from a Drazzi "skin pouch"] Hey, lady! Dureena! Listen! The only thing valuable I carry on me is my *watch*! I want you to know that in case that ever comes up in the future. OK?

Michael Garibaldi: [Drake has a PPG pointed at Garibaldi] Because if you are going to blow my head off, I suggest you do it right now or I am going to tear your heart out. And if you do shoot me, the rest of my people will be all over you. And what they'll do to you is worse than anything I could dream up in a thousand years. And I can dream real dark.

President John Sheridan: Looks like you won't get your chance to shoot either of us.::Dureena Nafeel: I've grown accustomed to disappointment.

[first lines]::ISN Reporter: Meanwhile, on Earth and Minbar, preparations continue for next month's celebration marking the fifth anniversary of the Interstellar Alliance. Aside from one brief conflict with the Centauri Republic early in its first year ISA President John Sheridan has delivered on his promise to maintain peace among all its member worlds...

Michael Garibaldi: [to Sheridan] You were looking at gibberish for 20 minutes. Look, you wanna do that, swing by my place some time, and I'll show you some 20th century television.

Galen: Fear makes wise men foolish.

Quotes:

Dr. Kent Clark: [Kent is blind] Nice to smell you again, Mr. Kitz.::Michael Kitz: You too.::Dr. Kent Clark: [aside] Wouldn't have pegged him as a Polo man.

David Drumlin: I know you must think this is all very unfair. Maybe that's an understatement. What you don't know is I agree. I wish the world was a place where fair was the bottom line, where the kind of idealism you showed at the hearing was rewarded, not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world.::Ellie Arroway: Funny, I've always believed that the world is what we make of it.

Ellie Arroway: Occam's razor. You ever heard of it?::Palmer Joss: Hack-em's Razor. Sounds like some slasher movie.

Executive: We must confess that your proposal seems less like science and more like science fiction.::Ellie Arroway: Science fiction. Well you're right, it's crazy. In fact, it's even worse than that, nuts. [angrily slams down her briefcase and marches up to the desk] You wanna hear something really nutty? I heard of a couple guys who wanna build something called an "airplane," you know you get people to go in, and fly around like birds, it's ridiculous, right? And what about breaking the sound barrier, or rockets to the moon, or atomic energy, or a mission to Mars? Science fiction, right? Look, all I'm asking, is for you to just have the tiniest bit of vision. You know, to just sit back for one minute and look at the big picture. To take a chance on something that just might end up being the most profoundly impactful moment for humanity, for the history... of history.

Ellie Arroway: I'm okay to go! I'm okay to go! I'm okay to go...

Young Ellie: [after the funeral] CQ, this is W9GFO, do you copy? [sniff] Dad, this is Ellie, come back?... This is Eleanor Arroway, transmitting on 14.2 megahertz. [pleading] Dad, are you there? Come back? Dad, are you there? Dad, this is Ellie...

Michael Kitz: Your having sent this announcement all over the world may well constitute a breach of national security.::Ellie Arroway: This isn't a person-to-person call. You can't possibly think that a civilization sending this kind of message would intend it just for Americans.::Michael Kitz: I'm saying you might have consulted us; obviously, the contents of this message could be extremely sensitive.::Ellie Arroway: You want to classify prime numbers now?

Palmer Joss: What are you studying up there?::Ellie Arroway: Oh, the usual. Nebulae, quasars, pulsars, stuff like that. What are you writing?::Palmer Joss: The usual. Nouns, adverbs, adjective here and there.

Palmer Joss: [Ellie challenges Palmer to prove the existence of God] Did you love your father?::Ellie Arroway: What?::Palmer Joss: Your dad. Did you love him?::Ellie Arroway: Yes, very much.::Palmer Joss: Prove it.

Young Ellie: Dad, do you think there's people on other planets?::Ted Arroway: I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.

Quotes:

Kirk: How much refit time before we can take her out again?::Scotty: Eight weeks, sir. But ye don't have eight weeks, so I'll do it for ye in two.::Kirk: Mr. Scott. Have you always multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of four?::Scotty: Certainly, sir. How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle worker?::Kirk: [over the intercom] Your reputation is secure, Scotty.

Kirk: How are we doing?::McCoy: How are "we" doing? Funny you should put it quite that way, Jim. "We" are doing fine. But I'd feel safer giving him one of my kidneys than what's scrambled in my brain.

Sulu: The word, sir?::Kirk: The word is no. I am therefore going anyway.::Sulu: You can count our help, sir.::Kirk: Thank you, Mr. Sulu, I'll need it.::Chekov: Shall I alert Dr. McCoy?::Kirk: Please. He has a long journey ahead of him.

[their first look at the USS Excelsior]::Uhura: Would you look at that.::Kirk: My friends, the great experiment: The Excelsior. Ready for trial runs.::Sulu: She's supposed to have transwarp drive.::Scotty: Aye. And if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon.::Kirk: Come, come, Mr. Scott. Young minds, fresh ideas. Be tolerant.

Kirk: Scotty, you're as good as your word.::Scotty: Aye, sir. The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.::[giving McCoy a handful of computer chips]::Scotty: Here, Doctor, souvenirs from one surgeon to another. I took them out of her main transwarp computer drive.::McCoy: Nice of you to tell me in advance.::Kirk: That's what you get for missing staff meetings, Doctor. Gentlemen, your work today has been outstanding and I intend to recommend you all for promotion... in whatever fleet we end up serving.

Kirk: You're suffering from a Vulcan mind-meld, doctor.::McCoy: That green-blooded son of a bitch! It's his revenge for all the arguments he lost.

Kirk: Klingon Commander, this is Admiral James T. Kirk. I'm alive and well on the planet's surface. I know that this will come as a pleasant surprise to you, but our ship was a victim of an "unfortunate accident". Sorry about your crew, but as we say on Earth, c'est la vie.

Kruge: Take every last man, form a boarding party armed heavily.::Torg: They outnumber us, my lord.::Kruge: [shouts] We are Klingons! Once you control the ship, we'll transfer our flag there and take Genesis from their own memory banks.

Kirk: [gathers himself after David's murder] Mr. Sulu, what is the crew compliment of a Bird-of-Prey?::Sulu: About a dozen officers and men.::Kirk: With some of them on the planet... I swear to you, we're not finished yet. Bones, you and Sulu to the transporter room. The rest of you with me, we have a job to do.

Kirk: You should take the Vulcan too.::Kruge: No.::Kirk: But why?::Kruge: Because you wish it.
