Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4 Episode 8: "Caves" Quotes
Mariner: Nothing good ever comes from a cave mission.
Rutherford: I like a good cave. The flat floors. The weird smell. [deep breath] Cavey.
Mariner: Any, uh, unspeakable evils in here? Can we skip past the waiting and just attack us now?
Boimler: Will you stop it? I’ll just call for an evac. [clicks communicator futilely]
Mariner: Bunch of rocks always beats centuries of technological progress.
Boimler: Please let us go! I thought you were just a paranoid anxiety made up by people who needed an imagined enemy to simulate order on unrelated disasters so life doesn’t feel so random and chaotic.
Vendorian: Ha! That is what we wanted you to think.
The power of caves. They can make you friends with jerks.
Mariner
Rutherford: I call dips on first babysitting shift.
T’Ana: Good. Because the only thing I hate more than engineers are babies.
T’Ana: You’d make a not completely terrible father.
Rutherford: Wait, are you saying I’m the first engineer you like?
T’Ana: Shut the f*** up.
Boimler: You chanted with them?
Rutherford: Chanting’s our thing!
Mariner: I can… I can chant with other people.
Tendi: I think this was actually one of the best days of my life.
Mariner: Uh, you mean with the zombie outbreak, then getting stuck in here and peeing in the corner?
Tendi: Well, I didn’t love peeing in the corner.
Tendi: I just wanted to say it doesn’t matter if we start hanging out with Steve Levy or Delta Shift or having a baby, we’ll always be friends. I love you guys.
Moss: I’ve eaten many outsiders in this cave, but I have never made a friend. Can we be friends?
