Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 6: "Lost in Translation" Quotes
Ortegas: It’s the shiniest gas station I’ve ever seen.
Pike: Well, it’s not just a gas station, Lieutenant. It’s right at the edge of the frontier. It unlocks half the quadrant. It’ll be the jumping off point for the next great age of exploration.
Una: Oh, good. I was afraid I’d missed the speech.
Pike: Well, I started earlier, but Uhura fell asleep.
Uhura: Hemmer was our Chief Engineer before you.
Pelia: I know. He was one of my best students. I’m sorry, I just said that because he’s dead. Actually, he was just okay.
James Kirk: Sam!
Sam Kirk: Jimmy, welcome to the Enterprise.
James: Helluva ship. And they let you work here?
Sam: What can I say? Captain Pike asked for the more handsome Kirk brother.
Chapel: Relationships, at least for humans, can be quantum things. Like Schrodinger’s Cat. They exist or they don’t depending on who’s observing them.
Spock: That is…
Chapel: … not how quantum superposition actually works? Yeah, I know. It’s a metaphor, Spock. A messy one. Just like whatever this is.
You know, the irony’s not lost on me. The communications officer who can’t communicate what’s wrong with her.
Uhura
Pelia: What exactly is your problem with me?
Una: I don’t have a problem with you. I have a problem with the situation.
Pelia: That is malarky and you know it.
Una: You’re sloppy, okay? You don’t respect protocols. You’re too loose with discipline. You don’t follow orders unless you feel like it. And you have CRUMBS on your uniform! When did you even eat?
Una: You’re like… a space hippy.
Pelia: Ooooh, well I have been called more names than there are stars in the sky but space hippy is a new one on me.
Pelia: I think you’ve gotten too used to being the smartest person in the room.
Una: I don’t think I’m the smartest person in the room.
Pelia: Oh, sure you do. You hide behind order and discipline because it kills you when someone has the nerve to question your decisions. You think my years of experience should buy me any deference?
Una: You’ve been in Starfleet since before I was born, but I outrank you. Why do you think that is?
Uhura: I don’t need a cookie!
James: Okay, now, you sound crazy.
The truth is I’ve never been able to face death. Everyone has some way of dealing with it and moving on, but I just … I don’t know how. How can I be a Starfleet officer if I can’t handle death?
Uhura
Captain, you told me the point of this station was to help us find new forms of life. But what is the point of exploring if we’re just gonna kill what we find?
Uhura
