Star Trek: Lower Decks
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 1 Episode 3: "Temporal Edict" Quotes
Freeman: What the hell are you talking about?
Admiral: I'm sorry, Captain Freeman, but we're moving the peace negotiations to Vulcan. Nobody wants to go to Cardassia Prime. The Cardassians are creeping everyone out.
Freeman: But I already prepared a speech. I learned how to do the dance.
Admiral: I'm sure you'll be involved in the next historic, once-in-a-lifetime summit.
Rutherford: You never admit the actual amount of time it takes to finish a job. If you did, your days would be packed.
Tendi: Isn't that lying?
Rutherford: No, it's creative estimating.
When you get an assignment, you exaggerate how long it's going to take. Then, you're a hero when it's done early.
Rutherford
Lower Decks, breaching protocol together! Friendship!
Mariner
Oh, be sure to stroll through the ship as slowly as possible. It's not like we're busy exploring the mysteries of the cosmos!
Freeman
Mariner: What's up with you? You're looking more, like, weaselly than usual.
Boimler: That's just how my face looks. You know that.
Mariner: There was no way the captain noticed we were padding stuff out. Somebody ratted. I'll bet it was Delta Shift.
Tendi: Delta Shift is the worst. They think they're so much better than us just because they're so much better than us.
Personal log. I have completed all of today's assignments ahead of schedule and have requested more. Space. The funnest frontier?
Boimler
Ransom: Get it together, Mariner. The captain has us on a strict timetable.
Mariner: Well, then, maybe you could help instead of whatever you're doing right now.
Ransom: I am helping. I'm commanding.
Ransom: I'm picking up an increase in atmospheric hydro mounds
Mariner: Yeah, they're called clouds, man.
Ransom: Just to be safe, I'll disengage autopilot and land her manually.
Mariner: That's literally what the autopilot's for. It's an automatic pilot.
Klingon Captain: What is the meaning of this intense bass? Are you mocking me?
Freeman: I don't hear it on our side. It must be your equipment.
Klingon Captain: Engineer K'nagh! Today you die!
