There are inspiring, epic quotes in Star Trek. Words that stir the soul, shining a light on paths to a brighter now and a better future. But, what about those bits of dialog that don’t have a stirring message, that you enjoy just because you enjoy them?
One of my favorites, from DSC season 3, Episode 1:
“I don’t know. But it was temperature-sensitive and really valuable, so it’s probably ice cream.”
Burnham is captured and being questioned at the Merchantile. After being spritzed with a dose of space truth serum, Burnham’s captors question her about stolen cargo. When asked by her captors what the cargo is, a very drugged up Burnham says the above with serious sincerity. I love the entirety of Burnham’s chattering and behavior while she is under the influence of the space truth serum. That particular line always makes me smile, though.
Do you have a favored, not particularly inspiring, you just like it, Star Trek quote?

How did I ever forget this one. Time for a Star Trek V re-watch.
Doing that now actually. They’re such awesome movies.
Of all the souls I’ve come across in my travels, his was the most… human.
Gets me every damn time.
