Ransom: Once again, we’re cleaning up a mess for a bunch of outpost scientists. You know why these guys are always getting eaten, disappearing, or getting eggs laid in their chest?
Mariner: Because they’re working on the frontier?
Ransom: Because they’re weirdos!

You want to explore space, join Starfleet! Go to the Academy. But no, that’s too much effort! They just got to get their degrees in studying spores or whatever, then head off into the quadrant and get devoured by a plant!

Mariner: Is this a mission briefing or a stand-up routine?
Stevens: Oh, no, no. His stand-up’s more a raw, unfiltered take on dating and mating.
Mariner: [sigh]

Tendi: I’ve been prepping so much, I’m afraid my brain’s gonna explode with science!
Rutherford: Ah, that’s how I wanna go.

Tendi: Just so you know, I’ve been studying super hard. Microbiology, Xenobiology, Astrobiology…
Migleemo: There really are a lot of Sciences, aren’t there? Too many, if you ask me.
Tendi: Seems like the proper amount.

Mariner: A sidecar? Even in your fantasy, you’re not driving?
Boimler: Driving’s scary. I’m a natural passenger.

Aww, it’s nice to see you with a girlfriend instead of destroying everything in your path.

Boimler: I think these broken rocks are reading our nightmares!
Rutherford: But I don’t like my nightmares!

Of course! It’s not a real day in Starfleet until coms get blocked.

Tendi: I just don’t know if I’m cut out to be a Science Officer. I can’t get the captain to listen to me.
T’Ana: Okay, guess we’re doing this. Tendi, of course you’re cut out for it. That’s why I recommended you.
Tendi: Then why am I blowing it? All my studying hasn’t helped at all.
T’Ana: No, no, studying is good. But in real life, there’s going to be times when you need to make a mess of things before you can fix them.

You’re going to be a great officer on the bridge one day, but you’re going to have to risk screwing things up to get there.
