You think your mom would be okay with me and Shaxs making a little love connection? I'd love to smack that Bajoran beefstick with my coital hooks.

Freeman: Why did we ever keep this a secret in the first place?
Mariner: I just wanted to fly under the radar.
Freeman: And I didn't want anyone to know the most demerited officer in the fleet was my daughter.

Freeman: I can't believe you all started reworshipping the dang computer!
Betan: Well, Landru is very persuasive.
Landru: Consume the intruders! Obey Landru!
Freeman: Hey! Don't make me paradox you into destroying yourself.
Landru: Landru apologizes!

Mariner: Look at Brad Boimler being cool for once! Wait, is this because of my teachings?
Boimler: Okay, you don't teach. You just instigate chaos.
Mariner: Exactly! Helpful, character-building chaos.

Ransom: We're out of options!
Freeman: Then I need someone to make me some.
Mariner: Me? What am I supposed to do? I don't know these guys!
Freeman: Do what you do best. I need a dangerous, half-baked solution that breaks Starfleet codes and totally pisses me off. That's an order.

Mariner: They've got us outgunned and they know it. But they're taking their time. If we can plant a virus in their system, we can cripple their ship.
Ransom: Who here could whip up a code like that? They'd have to be some sort of morally-bankrupt genius.

Mariner/Vindicta: Oh, when are you going to give up the loving captain act?
Freeman: It's not an act. I'm overflowing with love and affection!

Mariner: Orions are pirates! Pillaging's your whole thing!
Tendi: Ok, stop! It is not MY whole thing. And for your information, many Orions haven't been pirates for over five years!

Mariner: Oooo, look! Shaxs' earring! You have to wear it. Come here, c'mere.
Tendi: I don't know. Isn't there like religious significance? I mean, some of his ear is still on it.

Freeman: You'll never take my ship!
Mariner/Vindicta: I don't want your ship! I want you to stop treating me like I'm the bad guy all the time.
Freeman: You ARE the bad guy.
Mariner/Vindicta: No, I'm not! Why don't you EVER side with me?
Freeman: I don't even know you
Mariner/Vindicta: Exactly!
Freeman: My god. You're crazy.

Rutherford: Sir, are you okay?
Billups: I'll live but the rest of the crew...
Rutherford: ... will be fine. I initiated a rapid repeating emergency transport sequence and beamed the entire crew before we crashed.
Billups: What? That's not possible.
Rutherford: No, it's a movie. You can beam whatever you want. You can do all sorts of beam-y stuff in a movie.

Freeman: Ok, look. Will you stop eating these guys if we give you food replicators?
Rat Overlord: Huh. I dunno. Can they make nutrient pellets?
Freeman: Yes!

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 1 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...
