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.

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?

I have unlimited power and infinite knowledge. I exist in the past, present, and future. I can see the creation of time and its end. Organic, synthetic, all life are strands in the fabric of reality. It’s beautiful. Oooh, sorry about all the drama. Well, I’m going to go to an empty dimension and create a universe now. Maybe hang out with the Q Continuum, or check out the Black Mountain.

Tendi: Science and Engineering are messy. I love that you stick with it especially when it doesn’t work the way you wanted.
Rutherford: It’d be nice if it worked sometimes though.

Peanut Hamper: Awwww, Ags! We can still be friends without vanquishing people!
Agimus: Really? I’d like that.

Badgey: Boop on the nose! Boop! Boop on the nose!
Shaxs: He’s bypassing our shields! We can’t take many more boops!

Mariner: Oooh, have fun with the sinister robots who definitely aren’t trying to trap you guys.
Tendi: Thanks!

Boimler: He asked for me by name?
Ransom: Well, kinda. He said the stringy ensign meat pipe who betrayed him.
Boimler: Ha! Joke’s on him. I’m a lieutenant junior grade meat pipe now!

Lord Tyranakillicus: What I’ve come to understand is that instead of organics, what I really need to subjugate is… my feelings.
Therapist: Yes, Lord Tyranakillicus! Breakthroughs like this are why we do group therapy.
Lord Tyranakillicus: I have conquered self-doubt! And seized personal growth! HAHAHAHAHA!

Star Trek: Lower Decks Quotes

Boimler: Romulan whiskey is against regulations!
Mariner: Yeah, because it's awesome.

First contact is a delicate, high-stakes operation of diplomacy. One must be ready for anything humanity is interacting with an alien race for the first time. But we don't do that. Our specialty is SECOND contact. Still pretty important. We get all the paperwork signed, make sure we're spelling the name of the planet right, get to know all the good places to eat...
