Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 2 Episode 7: "Where Pleasant Fountains Lie" Quotes
I don't know why I keep giving alien street food a chance. It's always such a gamble.
Freeman
Mariner: Boimy's got a phaser rifle! Nice! Now, how are those different from regular phasers?
Boimler: Uh, they take two hands.
How are you excited for giant, nightmarish centipedes?
Mariner
Rutherford: Hysperia? That's the planet with the dragons that got colonized by all those Ren Faire types! Did you grow up in a castle?
Billups: Yes. But a life of mythical adventure can't compare to working on the old impulse engine.
By Hysperian law, if I lose my virginity, then I automatically become king. I'd have to resign from Starfleet and take the throne.
Billups
Mother! If you're planning on tricking me into intercourse, think again. The only lady I love is two decks tall and pumped full of dilithium.
Billups
Mr. Rutherford, you're with me. It's time to prove to my mother that I'm more than a royal stud.
Billups
Rutherford: Man, I'm not cut out for this.
Tendi: But you fix the Cerritos all the time.
Rutherford: Yeah, but this is different. We're talking about a fancy cruiser stuffed with fancy monarchs.
Rutherford: I'm going to tell Billups he should use someone else.
Tendi: No, you belong there as much as anyone else. You need to get outside your comfort zone.
Rutherford: But I love my zone. It's so comfortable!
Tendi: So you'll really turn down working on a whole new engine?
Rutherford: Well, it would be nice to see how the other half channels their antimatter.
Mariner: I'm okay. It's just a fracture. [shoves it back into place]
Boimler: Just!?! Ugh, I can't even look at it.
Mariner: Good thing the replicator's still intact. Computer, iced tea, splash of lemonade, cold.
Computer: Licorice, dry.
Mariner: Great. The least nutritious food that tastes the most like poison.
