I've rotated through almost every department. So many amazing, talented people. The top every one of everything. They all know why they belong in Starfleet. For them, Starfleet has always been the destination. For me, it was where I ran to after the loss of my parents. Serving aboard Enterprise is an affirmation of this entire crew's hopes and dreams. I envy their assurity. But me? I guess I'm still searching.

Uhura

Pike: Saved you a plate.
La'an: No thanks. I'm not hungry.
Una: You're going to want to try the omelet. And the bacon.
M'Benga: And the waffle.

Spock: At the time of transmission, the Peregrine was making an unscheduled emergency landing on a Class L planet, Valeo Beta 5.
M'Benga: Are emergency landings ever scheduled?

Una: You sure you want to split up the crew?
Pike: It'll be fine, Number One. You get the supplies to K-7. I'll pile the kids in the station wagon, take a road trip.
Spock: Sir? The station wagon?
Pike: Anybody has to go, now's the time. Do not make me turn this car around.

Duke: The anomalies. Is that what's killing our coms?
Spock: Negative, ensign. It is the ionic interference that prevents long-range communication.
Kirk: Drink. You owe him a drink, Spock.
Chapel: Duke's a lieutenant now. Call him an ensign, you gotta buy him a drink. Starfleet tradition.
Spock: Another human drinking game. Does their number have no limit?
Kirk: Nope.

Pike: What's he saying?
La'an: The universal translator isn't processing it. Uhura, do something.
Uhura: That's not how linguistics works!

Chapel: I understand that Vulcans have a strong, hidden primal nature. I bet you're a tempest when you're angry.
Spock: It is true that without proper mindfulness Vulcan emotion is dangerous. We use logic to not succumb to anger.
Chapel: It's good to get mad sometimes.

It is better to leave than to be the one left behind. But that's wrong. You create bonds. It's a gift. Of course, the people you care about are going to cause you pain. It will hurt. But the love it yields will far outweigh the sorrow.

Hemmer

My brother died like your friend. The Gorn got him. I know what it feels like to watch them hurt the people you love. You feel alone. Nobody understands the pain. But look at me now. These people I came with? My job is to keep them safe. And this crew? I believe we can do anything. Even defeat the Gorn. Ariana, trust me. There's surviving. And then there's living.

La'an

Spock: These ducts in the mouth likely expel venom.
Hemmer: Yes, and it burns quite tremendously.
Spock: No doubt a toxin meant to blind its victims.
Hemmer: I was not the best target.

Hemmer, I know you have rules about telepathy. Any chance they don't apply to an enemy that's trying to eat us?

Pike

Pike: Hemmer, you don't have to do this.
Hemmer: But, captain, my sacrifice will save the lives of those I care most about. For me, there is no other choice.
Spock: A logical conclusion.
Hemmer: Live long and prosper, my friend.
