Quotes6

  • Scott: There's an old, old saying on earth, Mr. Sulu: "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."
  • Chekov: I know this saying. It was invented in Russia.
  • [smiles devilishly]
  • Scotty: On Earth, we have a saying: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
  • Chekov: I know this saying. It was invented in Russia.
  • Scott: [as acting commander of the "Enterprise," attempting to hail a Klingon vessel that has been menacing them] This is the commander of the USS "Enterprise." Identify yourself and your intention. Acknowledge!
  • Scott: [after no reply is received] Close out the frequency, Lieutenant.
  • Sulu: Phaser banks are ready, sir.
  • Scott: And we'll go right down their throat if necessary. Let's see if they have the belly for it.
  • Chekov: Mr. Scott. Picking up something on the sensors, sir. Seems to be another ship.
  • Scott: Well, let's put it on the screen.
  • [screen reveals nothing]
  • Chekov: It's just at the edge of our sensor range, sir. Hard to get an exact reading.
  • Sulu: You think it's a Klingon ship?
  • Scott: Who else would be playing cat and mouse with a starship?
  • Spock: Well, at any rate, this should prove interesting.
  • Captain James T. Kirk: Interesting?
  • Spock: When the woman starts explaining how the new high teer is actually Dr. McCoy's child.
  • Scott: What's that again, Mr. Spock?
  • Captain James T. Kirk: We don't actually understand it ourselves, Mr. Scott.
  • Spock: Nor does Dr. McCoy.
  • Chekov: It should be on our screens by now.
  • Sulu: At best a freighter might travel... Warp 2.
  • Scott: [a bit testily] I'm well aware of a freighter's maximum speed, Mr. Sulu.
