Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 5: "Charades" Quotes
Pike: How do you … feel, Mr. Spock?
Spock: I feel… angry. And powerless. And annoyed. And… weirdly hungry? Is this a normal human feeling?
M’Benga: Hunger can affect your mood.
La’an: Adolescence is a delightful cocktail of anger, fear, sexual attraction, and… hunger. You’re constantly snacking, like so many snacks.
Spock: I am hungry. But I’m also sad and frustrated.
Chapel: I don’t know how those aliens did this.
M’Benga: They’re inscrutable interdimensional beings who don’t experience space and time the way we do. That might be part of it.
Survivors’ guilt is easy to spot from the outside, but it’s not fun from the inside.
Chapel
Chapel: It’s just been a tough day. I’m fine. I’ll be fine.
Spock: Is it about the fellowship?
Chapel: I don’t really want to talk about it.
Spock: Vulcans can be such jerks.
Chapel: How’s… um, feeling going?
Spock: It’s a lot. I’m still getting used to it. It’s not all bad. Sometimes, I don’t cry in the shower.
Pike: Are we really talking the end of their engagement just because Spock is temporarily not Vulcan?
Amanda: Vulcan engagements are complex. If the agreement’s broken, the union won’t be recognized under Vulcan law. T’Pring’s family would reject her if she chose to remain with Spock. It’s considered a great shame and no choice at all for a true Vulcan.
One thing I’ve learned about being a human on Vulcan is how to suppress my own pain.
Amanda
Uhura: How to speak like a Vulcan. Like this. Flat. No emotion.
Spock: I am Vulcan.
La’an: Flatter. More robotic.
Una: I am Vulcan. I love logic.
Ortegas: Notice how I move my eyebrow, but no other muscles in my face.
Spock: Do I really sound like that?
All: Yes.
La’an: Absolutely.
Ortegas: You want me to fly the three of us to another dimension so you can talk with some ancient aliens?
Chapel: No, I want you to fly us adjacent to another dimension so we can send a signal to some ancient aliens.
Spock: I know how much you have sacrificed being with her.
T’Pring: She has been particularly difficult lately. We debated for three hours over this outfit.
Spock: That is…fascinating?
T’Pring: I suppose it is. In the way that it is fascinating that some species eat their young.
Uhura: Think of the ocean in a storm. The surface is moving like crazy but when you get under it, it’s calm.
Ortegas: Yeah, I hate analogies. It is never really like you say it is.
