Star Trek: Discovery
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Discovery Quotes
Even in fear, Su'Kal, you can still step forward.
Saru
Bryce: The Viridian won't just let us go.
Burnham: I don't expect them to which is why we have to eject the warp core and blow our way out.
Rhys: What?
Owo: We'll blow ourselves along with it.
Burnham: There's a chance we won't
Tilly: I was really hoping you would say that.
Tilly: I have the con.
Zareh: Oh, you have the con. Well, I must say, I'm impressed. You've done a bang-up job. It took us all of twelve minutes to capture your ship and crew. I'm sure under lesser leadership, it would've been ten.
The Burn has left us with a legacy of fear, of isolation. A scarcity that still clouds our moral clarity, a clarity that I fight for on a daily basis. And I ask my people to die for!
Vance
Osyraa: You're staring at the past. I just drew you a real map to the future.
Vance: The past is the only light with which we can see the future.
Stamets: The tardigrade DNA that fused with my DNA was from a species that is long extinct. I've tried to replicate it but it's been corrupted. You'll probably have to kill me to extract it.
Orelio: Mr. Stamets, I can assure you, we have other methods now.
Stamets: And, if those methods don't work?
Orelio: Ah. We will grow the tardigrade cells. Fidelity is always the issue with replication. Growth marries the fidelity of a copy with the vitality of new beginnings.
Zareh: Hey, hero. Can you hear me? I'm guessing, right about now, you're getting a little nervous, huh? Figuring out that we've almost got you. You could just give up. Why not make it easy? I promise you the lofty position of having your skull be my candy dish...
[fire suppression protocol purges regulator, holding onto Burnham's shoes]
Burnham: Hey, Zareh, you're going to need more regulators.
Book: What the hell was that tapping?
Rhys: Morse Code.
Owo: Year One, Starfleet Academy.
Book: What were you saying?
Rhys: I was telling him to keep tapping.
Osyraa: What's with the holo and why is he staring at me so intently?
Vance: It's de rigueur during negotiations to use a biometric lie-detector system, even among allies.
Osyraa: Where's the fun in that?
Vance: Well, nobody seemed to like it when a red light would just go off so we gave it a face.
You're a chain of planets. We are a federation of mercantile exchanges. We need to focus on doing what is for the good of our people. At the end of the day, they are what this is all about.
Osyraa
Osyraa: [takes a bite of a slice of apple] Doesn't quite taste like the real thing, does it?
Vance: I've never eaten a real apple.
Osyraa: Well, how sad. Apples are a thing of beauty. You want to talk about oppression, you should start in your own mess hall.
Vance: It's made of our shit, you know. That's the base material that we use in our replicators. We deconstruct it to the atomic level and then reform the atoms. [takes a bite] It's pretty good for shit. And we don't have to commit atrocities for it.
Osyraa: Well, you're not being very diplomatic.
Book: Go save the day, Michael.
Burnham: This is the wrong moment to tell you that I love you for the first time.
Book: Not quite the first. You talk in your sleep.
