Star Trek: Lower Decks
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 Quotes
We just spent, like, an hour getting the backstory of your McGuffin and now we’re NOT going after it?
Mariner
I’m here for your research, not your heart.
Boimler
Gibson: They’re probably trying to buy Welarian-detronium to power the Chronogasmic Matrix!
Mariner: Yeah, Doc, you really wanna avoid that many made up words in a row.
He was an exact copy of me. Had his own quarters on a cooler ship. But he died for no reason. I guess I was trying to make all of this matter because then I would matter. But trying to make this dumb movie important just proves that I’m not.
Boimler
Freeman: The Chonogami. A top-secret Starfleet prototype which can penetrate temporal barriers. ‘Chrono’ because it involves taking Time and folding it in on itself like the Japanese art form…
Mariner: Yeah, origami. Right, yeah, we get it.
Boimler: Don’t worry, ‘Crisis Point TWO’ is twice as good as the original.
Mariner: Crisis Point… No, you can’t just piggy back off my movie!
Boimler: Technically, it was my program first, so I can do what I want. Uh, Computer, arch.
Mariner: That doesn’t contractually obligate you to make a bad sequel.
Boimler: So, I was dreaming?
T’Ana: More like clinically dead.
Kityha: What truth do you seek?
Boimler: A man named William Boimler died. It was meaningless. What is life for?
Kityha: The purpose of life… is a life of purpose.
Boimler: O-kay. But what about what I was asking?
Boimler: Freeman just explained that the Chronogami can be used to destroy any point in history.
Mariner: What, does it make an alternate cinematic timeline that runs concurrent to our own but with, like, different people playing younger versions of us?
Tendi: [laughs] Scientifically, that would be a bit of a reach.
My movie is trash. It doesn’t have a deeper meaning and neither does life!
Boimler
William Boimler: Isn’t Section 31 supposed to be like a big secret? I mean why would we wear special com badges that advertise who we are?
Section 31 Operative: You could still be dead.
William Boimler: Y’know, I like the badge.
Sulu: Brad, I’ve lost many friends. Some heroically. Some tragically. The randomness of death is merely a reflection of the unexpected joys we find in life.
Boimler: So if I spend my life worrying about a meaningless death, I’ll never find joy?
Sulu: I literally just said that.
