Star Trek: Lower Decks
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 Episode 10: "The Stars At Night" Quotes
Starfleet was founded as a way for humanity to advance into the stars! This would undo centuries of progress.
Freeman
Rutherford: Woah, these Texas-class ships are amazing!
Tendi: Rutherford, stop being impressed with the thing that’s stealing our jobs!
The longer Mariner’s not around, the more Boimler loses his grasp on reality.
Rutherford
I want to see Commander Data level work, people! Those isolinear chips better be a blur!
Billups
Tendi: God, we would’ve won if I hadn’t defended the life of some inert dust.
Boimler: Ah, when secondary scans find life, you have to drop everything. That’s, like, the entire point of the Prime Directive.
Rutherford: He used my designs, my code. [gasps] That’s the same code I used for Badgey!
Tendi: Oh no! A starship can’t have daddy issues.
Buenamigo: Starfleet is so competitive. Once you’re an admiral, you hit a wall! I’ve been trying for years to make a name for myself. I’m not letting you take it from me. Not after everything I did to get us here!
Freeman: Everything you did? Wait, that means…
Buenamigo: Yes, yes, I set you up.
Freeman: You are not one of those bad-faith admirals that’s up to no good. You’re better than this, Les.
Buenamigo: I’m really not.
Mariner: I think, deep down, I was looking for a reason to go back to Starfleet.
Petra: Are you joking? You just escaped all that.
Mariner: I know. But I think I want to be a part of something that stands for the greater good.
Petra: Oh, and archeology doesn’t? That’s a bit f*cking rude.
Mariner: No. I mean, it’s fun, but how many old, brown pots do we really need?
Petra: All right, well, that’s just even ruder.
I know. Starfleet’s just an idea, but the people matter.
Mariner
Petra: You’re going to get me killed, aren’t you?
Mariner: Only one way to find out!
Freeman: No, get out of here! The Aledo is too powerful. A Cali-class ship won’t stand a chance!
Mariner: I know, right? That’s why I called all of them!
