Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Thursdays on Paramount+Nyota Uhura Quotes
Uhura: Old zombie movie trick.
Spock: Zombie movie?
Una: Yeah. Dress up like you’re dead so the zombies don’t notice you. You’ve never seen one?
Spock: A zombie, no. A movie, yes. But I will add some to my research.
Uhura: Nitrogen grenades?
Spock: Renders anything in a ten meter range frozen.
La’an: Deadly for a cold-blooded lizard.
M’Benga: Deadly for anyone.

Mariner: Are you familiar with Starfleet labor codes?
Uhura: Maybe.
Mariner: Section 48, Alpha dash seven? Officers must take meal breaks at regular intervals. I could report you.
Uhura: You know Starfleet codes?
Mariner: Of course. I mean, there’s a whole bunch of them that let you slack off a ton, so yeah.
Uhura: Hemmer was our Chief Engineer before you.
Pelia: I know. He was one of my best students. I’m sorry, I just said that because he’s dead. Actually, he was just okay.
Captain, you told me the point of this station was to help us find new forms of life. But what is the point of exploring if we’re just gonna kill what we find?
The truth is I’ve never been able to face death. Everyone has some way of dealing with it and moving on, but I just … I don’t know how. How can I be a Starfleet officer if I can’t handle death?
Uhura: I don’t need a cookie!
James: Okay, now, you sound crazy.
