Oh boy ...

Riker: Oh, leave Anthony and Blucas.
Crusher: Why?
Riker: To look for me and Worf.

There's a joke here, but I'm missing something important, I think.

Taitt: But sir, your orders --
Crusher: Please. I may not know much about command, but I know you don't follow orders.

Taitt: Thank you, sir! Say, with almost all the crew back on board, isn't it funny that no one's come to try and replace you?
Crusher: They're afraid of ripping off "The Arsenal of Freedom."
Taitt: Ah.

Heh heh heh.

Riker: So your individuality swept through the Borg like a virus?
Hugh: As a virus. It came in an email attachment called 1STPRSN.EXE. It left us confused, defenseless, wishing we had some sort of Queen to tell us what to do. Then Lore came.
Worf: And you made him Queen?
Hugh: Yes. He promised that we would be the champions.

Hee hee.

Conn Officer: But... but that heading takes us straight into the sun! We'll melt!
Crusher: Oh, I think we'll survive. I have my suspicions.

Heh.

Hugh: Lore said he could bring us to a state of perfect artificiality. He's been performing experiments on innocent Borg.
Worf: What innocent Borg?
Riker: (Shh! Diplomacy, diplomacy!)
[ ... ]
Worf: Innocent Borg. Riiiight.
Riker: That's it, you're demoted to Ensign.
--------------------
Hugh: You saw those innocent Borg. Half of them don't even have hands anymore.
Worf: (mutters)
Riker: I heard that, Cadet.

:mrgreen:

Picard: You must realize that Lore's orders are wrong, Data. Apples deserve to live free, like the people of Gamma Trianguli VI.

Just watch out for the rocks.

Sisko: So my plan is to take the august Defiant through the Argolis cluster.
Ross: Fortunately, it is August since we've been at war for these past three months.
Sisko: Would everyone please STOP DOING THAT! Besides, it's more like four months now.

Hee hee hee.

Ross: Geez. You're really defiant today, Ben.
Sisko: Hey! Don't take the ship's name in vain!

O'Brien: You're supposed to call her Captain since she's in command.
Nog: Really? So what would you call a cadet who heroically takes command of the ship during a skirmish and single-handedly wipes out the Dominion threat?
O'Brien: Delusional.

:snicker:

Worf: (over the comm) So when's the Defiant coming back with my honey?
Sisko: You do realize the Defiant's been attacking the Dominion, not beekeeping in New Zealand?
Worf: Really? That's the last time I look up the Defiant's orders from a search engine.

*whooshing sound as joke sails over mudshark's head*

Could be I haven't watched enough Buffy and Angel -- seems to be more than a little of that here.

Rule Twenty-Four: Feel free to break any and all rules in the name of a good joke.

Good rule from one who learned it early and well.
