Favorite Scene from a Star Trek Movie

[sorehed]

I feel a little guilty about hijacking a Star Trek thread, so here is a favorite quote from Scotty. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <br /><br />"The best diplomat I know is a fully activated phaser bank."

Star Trek III: The Search For Spock:<br /><br />McCoy: "That green-blooded, son-of-a-b**ch!! This is his revenge for all those arguments he lost."<br /><br />But one of my favourite moments is from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Kirk & Scotty are in the shuttlepod headed for the rebuilt Enterprise. The shuttlepod turns and with Jerry Goldsmith's iconic music building to a crescendo; the Enterprise practically glows with power and grace, and Kirk's eyes fill with tears. And the Star Trek fans in the audience got a lump in their throat, knowing that after years of work and battles, the dream of Star Trek had resumed....... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>One Percent of Federal Funding For Space: America <strong><em><u>CAN</u></em></strong> Afford it!!  LEO is a <strong><em>Prison</em></strong> -- It's time for a <em><strong>JAILBREAK</strong></em>!!</p> </div>

From "The Changeling"<br /><br />Spock says to Kirk, "Your logic was impeccable, we are in grave danger".<br /><br /><br />{People say that to me all the time}<br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

<font color="yellow">MATRIX (to stewardess, after killing an evil henchman seated next to him on a passenger jet): Please don't disturb my friend...he's dead tired.</font><br /><br />Haven't seen Matrix -- but I believe that dialogue was adapted from one of the early James Bond movies.<br /><br />Bond (Sean Connery) is dancing during Mardi Gras (or something like it) with a beautiful but evil woman, whose henchmen are trying to get a bead on Bond with their rifles. Bond sees the bad guys with the rifles, and does sort of a <i>dip</i> with the lady just as one of them pulls a trigger, interposing her between himself and the gunman.<br /><br />We see the bullet hole form in the lady's bare shoulder blade. Bond very thoughtfully plugs the hole with one hand. Then he lays her down in a nearby chair as though she was exhausted from partying, and informs the folks nearby, "She's simply dead." <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

 

[Aetius]

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the dialogue from "Commando" was derivative. Still a fun movie, though...if you like Hollywood action flicks. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

[lampblack]

"Commando" sounds like a rock 'em-sock 'em good time.<br /><br />I did some googling. The Bond line comes from "Thunderball," and here's the full quote:<br /><br /><i><b>"Do you mind if my friend sits this one out? She's just dead."</b></i> <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

 

[yevaud]

Best line ever from a Bond movie:<br /><br />"So, do you expect me to talk?"<br /><br />"Nooo, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die." <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

"The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn &%$#@!... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it." <br />

Is that the same lad who spent years cleaning the unspeakably filthy toilets in a Rio De Janeiro bordello?<br /><br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

Well this thread didn't exactly go where no man has gone before or where I expected it to, but some of the non Star Trek lines are good. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em><font size="2">Bob DeWoody</font></em> </div>

<font color="yellow">Well this thread didn't exactly go where no man has gone before or where I expected it to, but some of the non Star Trek lines are good.</font><br /><br />It didn't get hijacked more than six or seven times... eight tops! <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />For whatever it's worth, my favorite scene from all the Trek movies -- or at any rate, the most memorable scene for me -- was at the end of Star Trek III. Namely: the destruction of the Enterprise.<br /><br />I'll never forget sitting in a dark theater, watching that ship fall through the atmosphere. I couldn't believe it was happening. Then I looked over at a female friend who had accompanied me to the movie -- and she was crying.<br /><br />She's a tough lady, and I had never seen her cry before. So I reached over and put my arm around her shoulder -- and we grieved together the passing of the Enterprise.<br /><br />Yep, that's my favorite scene from all the Star Trek movies. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

I know everyone seems to hate ST:4, but the only thing that comes to mind is the crew wandering around present-day San Francisco. Especially Scotty with the computer and Spock on the bus. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" />

Amazing: finally something that Eddie and I are in complete agreement on...will wonders never cease? <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

[dragon04]

I have two favorite scenes...<br /><br />Actually, the first one wasn't just one scene, but an entire sequence.<br /><br />From the time Spock and Kirk were face to face as Spock "died" in ST2 until he was shot out of the ship in a photon torpedo casing....<br /><br />And then the "Magic Carpet Ride" scene in First Contact. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"2012.. Year of the Dragon!! Get on the Dragon Wagon!".</em> </div>

 

[zer01zero]

<font color="yellow">"was rather pleased with the scene in STNG - First Contact where Lily Sloane dresses down Picard for being an interstellar Captain Ahab for his willingness to sacrifice his crew for the sake of destroying the Borg. It's one of the few times Picard ever became unhinged to the point of near-histrionics, and I loved it how Picard had really met his match in this woman, and the fact that she managed to shake him up enough to change his mind."</font><br /><br />"......and if my chest were a cannon, I would have shot my heart upon him..." Patrick Stewart delivered that line so well.

I'd chime in with "Aye, Cap'n - there be Whales here," but you'd all throw virtual rotten fruit at me. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>
