Star Trek (2009)
Lt. Nyota Uhura: I'm impressed. For a moment there, I thought you were just a dumb hick who only has sex with farm animals.
Kirk: Well, not only.

Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Well congratulations Jim. We've got no Captain and no god damned First Officer to replace him.
Kirk: Yeah, we do.
[Kirk sits himself into the Captain's chair]
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: What?
Hikaru Sulu: Pike made him first officer.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: You gotta be kidding me!
Kirk: Thank for the support.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: I sure hope you know what you're doing...
[sarcastically]
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Captain.
Kirk: So do I.

Spock: We must gather with the rest of Starfleet... to balance the terms of the next engagement!
Kirk: There won't *be* a "next engagement"! By the time we've gathered, it'll be too late! But you say he's from the future and knows what's gonna happen - then the logical thing is to be unpredictable!
Spock: You are assuming that Nero knows how events are predicted to unfold. The contrary - Nero's very presence - has altered the flow of history, beginning with the attack on the USS Kelvin, culminating in the events of today, thereby creating an entire new chain of incidents that cannot be anticipated by either party.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: An alternate reality.
Spock: Precisely. Whatever our lives might have been if the time continuum was disrupted - our destinies have changed.

Spock: [standing across Lt. Uhura before he and Kirk are about to be beamed onto the Romulan warship] I will be back.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [leaning in] You better be! I'll be monitoring your frequency.
Spock: [actually quite emotional] Thank you, Nyota.

Burly Cadet #1: This townie isn't bothering you right?
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Oh, beyond belief. But it's nothing I can't handle.
Kirk: You could handle me if that's an invitation.
Burly Cadet #1: Hey, you better mind your manners.
Kirk: Oh relax, cupcake, it was a joke.
Burly Cadet #1: Hey farmboy. Maybe you can't count. But there are four of us and one of you.
Kirk: So get some more guys and then it'll be an even fight.

Lt. Nyota Uhura: [after having followed Spock into the elevator and pressing the Stop-button] I'm sorry - I'm sorry - I'm so sorry.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [kisses him along his face and hugs him - after a short hesitation, he hugs her back and leans into her, too] What do you need?
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [taking his face into her hands and leaning back] Tell me. Tell me.
Spock: [fighting for control] I need everyone to continue performing admirably.
[pushes the elevator button again to continue]
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [with tears in her eyes, nods] Okay.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [She kisses him and he kisses her back and when the elevator doors open, leaves her behind without a backward glance - she watches him go]

Lt. Nyota Uhura: [During the Kobayashi Maru test] We are receiving a distress signal from the USS Kobayashi Maru. The ship has lost power and is stranded. Starfleet Command has ordered us to rescue them.
Kirk: [clearly enjoying himself] Starfleet Command has ordered us to rescue them... *captain*.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: [rolls his eyes] Two Klingon warbirds have entered the Neutral Zone and are locking weapons on us.
Kirk: [Smugly] That's okay.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: 'That's okay?'
Kirk: Yeah, don't worry about it.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Three more Klingon warbirds decloaking and locking onto our ship. I don't suppose this is a problem either.
Simulator Tactical Officer: They're firing, captain.
Kirk: Alert Medical bay to receive *all* crew members from the damaged ship.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: And how do you expect us to rescue them when we're surrounded by Klingons, captain?
Kirk: Alert Medical.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Our ship's being hit. Shields are at sixty percent.
Kirk: [nonchalantly] I understand.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: [exasperated] Well, should we - oh, I dunno - fire back?
Kirk: [pulls an apple out of nowhere and starts munching] Naw.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Of course not.
[the entire simulation suddenly shuts down, then starts back up]
Kirk: Hmm. Arm photons, prepare to fire on the Klingon warbirds.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Jim, their shields are still up!
Kirk: Are they?
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: [McCoy checks again, taken aback] No... They're not.
Kirk: Fire on all enemy ships. One photon each should do it. No sense in wasting ammunition.
Simulator Tactical Officer: Aye, sir. Target locked and acquired on all warbirds. Firing.
[the simulation shows the birds being destroyed one by one]
Simulator Tactical Officer: All targets destroyed, sir.
Kirk: Begin rescue of the stranded crew. *So,*
[suddenly very cocky]
Kirk: we've managed to eliminate all enemy ships, no one on board was injured and the successful rescue of the Kobayashi Maru crew is... underway.
[takes a large bite out of his apple]

Kirk: [the night before he is scheduled to take the Kobayashi Maru test] Hey, if I pass, will you tell me your first name?
Lt. Nyota Uhura: *No!* Get out!
[slams the door in his face]

Kirk: Uhura! Uhura!
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Kirk? What are you doing here?
Kirk: The message you intercepted from the Klingon prison planet...
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Oh my God, what's wrong with your hands!
Kirk: [waves off the question] Who was responsible for the attack and was the ship walullaa?
Lt. Nyota Uhura: What?
Kirk: [to McCoy] Whass... whas happening with my mouth?
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: You've got numb-tongue?
Kirk: *Nuhtung?*
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: I can fix that!
[hurries off to find another hypospray]
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Was the ship what?
Kirk: Wallala!
Lt. Nyota Uhura: What?
Kirk: *Womulan!*
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Romulan? Yes!
[Bones injects him with another hypospray]
Kirk: ACK!
[trying to say 'dammit']
Kirk: DAHHIT!

Kirk: Make that two. Her shots on me.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Her shots on her.
[Turns to Kirk]
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Thanks but no thanks.
Kirk: Don't you at least wanna know my name before you completely reject me?
Lt. Nyota Uhura: I'm fine without it.
Kirk: You are fine without it. It's Jim, Jim Kirk.
[Waits for Uhura to introduce herself, and gets no reply]
Kirk: If you don't tell me your name I'm gonna have to make one up.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [Reluctantly] It's Uhura.
Kirk: Uhura? No way! That's the name I was gonna make up for you! Uhura what?...
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Just Uhura.
Kirk: They don't have last names in your world?
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Uhura is my last name.
Kirk: Then they don't have... uh first names in your world?
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [Uhura smiles]

Lt. Nyota Uhura: [Having just learned that she is assigned to the Farragut] Commander, a word?
Spock: Yes, Lieutenant?
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Was I not one of your top students?
Spock: Indeed you were.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [the scene cuts to another location, where Uhura is still hounding Spock] And did I not, on multiple occasions, demonstrate an exceptional aural sensitivity *and I quote* 'an unparalleled ability to identify sonic anomalies in subspace transmissions tests?'
Spock: Consistently, yes.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: And while you are well aware of my own qualified desires to serve on the USS Enterprise, I'm assigned to the *Farragut?*
Spock: It was an attempt to...
[he glances around, keeping his voice low]
Spock: avoid the appearance of favoritism.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [Adamantly] No. I'm assigned to the Enterprise.
Spock: [He checks his roster list] Yes, I believe you are.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Thank you.


Star Trek: Of Gods and Men (2007) (V)
Captain Nyota Uhura: [narrating] It's said if you move but one grain of sand, you run the risk of altering history.

Captain Nyota Uhura: [narrating] Captain's personal log, Stardate 6712.4. As head of Starfleet Linguistic, my recent assignments have been most rewarding. So much so, I'm finding it hard to believe it's been forty years since I was first assigned to the Enterprise under Captain Kirk's command. I should be elated to attend the ceremonies honoring his accomplishments, but the memory of his passing twelve years ago is still very painful. And it doesn't help that my dear friend Scotty is still missing. Or that Sulu is away in the Gamma Quadrant for the next three years. Or that McCoy and Spock won't be able to break away from their negotiations with the Klingons. All this has made me realize that something is... missing in my life. Perhaps though, seeing some old friends attending the dedication of a very special ship is exactly what I need. Something we all need.

Captain Pavel Chekov: This almost makes me feel like a kid again!
Captain Nyota Uhura: Well, it should. The last time you sat in that seat, you were a kid.

Captain Nyota Uhura: Charlie... Charlie Evans?
Charlie Evans: The singing lady remembers.

Tuvok: Are you suggesting that the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many?
Madame Uhura: I'm suggesting that history proves it. It's filled with groups who have decided that their needs were more important than others. The result: slavery, genocide. You don't believe me? Just look at the Galactic Order.

Madame Uhura: Could one man's absence cause all of this change?
Kittrick: It's possible. One pivotal change, seventy years ago.

Charlie Evans: Leave her alone!
Gary Mitchell: [chuckles wickedly] She's going to tell me where Kittrick is.
Charlie Evans: What moral right?
Gary Mitchell: [another chuckle] Morals are for men, not for Gods.
Madame Uhura: And you are neither.

Captain Nyota Uhura: [narrating] Personal log, Stardate 7615.1. It doesn't seem like a year's past since we restored our normal timeline. As I conclude my last entry as captain, my thoughts are not on that single grain of sand we might disturb accidentally, but on the fact that we are endowed with free will and can choose ideas that can either lead to deadly consequences or to joyous rewards. So truly, our destiny lies not in the stars, but within ourselves.

Uhura: [raising her glass] Here's to forty years of high adventure!
Admiral Chekov: [raises his] Here's to the next forty.
Admiral Chekov: [Uhura gives him a puzzled look] Well, as Spock is so fond of saying: there is always a possibility...


"Star Trek: The Naked Time (#1.4)" (1966)
[Sulu is acting psychotically]
Sulu: I'll protect you, fair maiden.
Uhura: Sorry, neither.

Scotty: Captain! He's turned the engines off. Completely cold. It'll take 30 minutes to regenerate them.
Capt. Kirk: Scotty!
Scotty: I can't change the law of physics! I've got to have 30 minutes!
Uhura: Entering planet's outer atmosphere, sir. Ship's outer skin is beginning to heat.

Uhura: All decks, alert system B-2. Repeat: go to Alert condition Baker 2. Seal off all main sections. Stand by.

Capt. Kirk: We've got to risk implosion, it's our only chance!
Spock: It's never been done.
Capt. Kirk: t's a theory. It's possible. We may go up into the biggest ball of fire since the last sun in these parts exploded but we gotta take that one in 10,000 chance!
Uhura: [over the intercom] Bridge to Captain, engineer asks did you find...
Capt. Kirk: Yes! I found Mr. Spock! I'm talking to Mr. Spock, you understand!
Uhura: [over the intercom] Yes, sir. Three and a half minutes left, captain.


"Star Trek: The Man Trap (#1.1)" (1966)
Mr. Spock: Miss Uhura, your last sub-space log contained an error in the frequencies column.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Sometimes I think if I hear "frequency" again, I'll cry.
Mr. Spock: Cry?
Lt. Nyota Uhura: I was just trying to start a conversation.
Mr. Spock: Well, since it is illogical for a communications officer to resent the word "frequency"... I have no answer.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: No, you have an answer. I'm an illogical woman who's beginning to feel too much a part of that communications console. Why don't you tell me I'm an attractive young lady or ask me if I've ever been in love? Tell me how planet Vulcan looks when the moon is full.
Mr. Spock: Vulcan has no moon, Miss Uhura.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: I'm not surprised, Mr. Spock.

Lt. Nyota Uhura: Message, Captain: Starship Base on Corinth IV requests explanation of our delay here, sir. Base Commander Dominguez says we have supplies he urgently needs.
Captain James T. Kirk: Tell José he'll get his chilli peppers when we get there. Tell him the're prime Mexican Reds, I hand picked them myself. But he won't die if he goes a few more days without them.

Lt. Nyota Uhura: [Two crewmen step aside as Lt. Uhura exits the turbolift. She addresses one of them] The door to my quarters still rattles when it opens. Would you stop by and see if you can do something about it? Thanks, Bobby.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [Walks towards another crewman who is the creature in disguise and is staring at her] Crewman, do I know you?
Crewman: In a way, m'am. You were just thinking of someone like me. I'm guessing of course, but you do look a little lonely.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [Taken aback by crewman's boldness] I see. So naturally when I'm lonely, I think of you.
Crewman: [Speaks Swahili to Uhura]
Lt. Nyota Uhura: [Is charmed and smiles, replying in Swahili, then asking] Swahili?
[Crewman's stare becomes more intense and hypnotic as Uhura is backed into the wall and rendered helpless. The crewman's hands are closing in on her face]
Captain James T. Kirk: [Ship's whistle sounds. Kirk speaks over the intercom. This breaks the hypnotic hold on Uhura] Lt. Uhura to the bridge.
[Ship's whistle again]
Captain James T. Kirk: Lt. Uhura to the bridge!

Uhura: Mr Spock, sometimes I think if I hear that word frequency once more I'll cry.
Spock: Cry?
Uhura: I was just trying to start a conversation.
Spock: Well, since it is illogical for a communications officer to resent the word 'frequency', I have no answer.
Uhura: No, you have an answer. I'm an illogical women whose beginning to feel too much part of that communications consul. Why don't you tell me I'm an attractive young lady or ask me if I've ever been in love? Tell me how your planet Vulcan looks on a lazy evening when the moon is full.
Spock: Vulcan has no moon, Ms Uhuru.
Uhura: I'm not surprised, Mr Spock.


Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
Lieutenant Commander Nyota Uhura: It could hold a crew of... tens of thousands.
Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.: Or a crew of a thousand ten miles tall.

[Kirk has just gotten command back of the Enterprise]
Lt. Cmdr. Hikaru Sulu: He wanted her back. He got her.
Alien Ensign: And Captain Decker? He's been with this ship every minute of her refitting.
Lieutenant Commander Nyota Uhura: Ensign, the possibilities of our returning from this mission in one piece may... have just doubled.

Lieutenant Commander Nyota Uhura: Captain, our final six replacements are ready to beam aboard, but one of them is refusing to step into the transporter.
Captain James T. Kirk: Oh! I'll make sure he beams up!
[Steps into the Turbolift]


Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)
Uhura: [Chekov and Sulu are lost in the woods of Yellowstone] Is there a problem, gentlemen?
Sulu: Uh, yes. We've been caught in a... we've been caught in a blizzard.
[Chekov blows on the communicator, simulating wind noises]
Chekov: And we can't see a thing. Request you direct us to the coordinates.
Uhura: My scanners show clear skies and 70 degrees.
Chekov: [stops blowing] Sulu, look. The sun's come out. It's a miracle.

Scotty: [cursing, on his back trying to fix a computer console] "Let's see what she's got," said the captain. And then we found out, didn't we?
Uhura: [walking in] I know you'll whip her into shape, Scotty, you always do.
Scotty: [getting up] Uhura, I thought you were on leave.
Uhura: And I thought we were supposed to be going together.
Scotty: Oh, I can't leave her now when she needs me the most.
Uhura: [stroking Scotty's cheek] I had a feeling you would say something like that, so I brought us...
[whipping up two packages]
Uhura: dinner.
Scotty: [grabbing a package] Oh, lassie. You're the most understanding woman I know.
Starfleet Officer: [transmission on a malfunctioning computer] Red-Red-Red Alert. Red Alert. Red-Red-Red Alert.
Scotty: I just fixed that damn thing! Turn it off, will you?

[Chekov and Sulu are lost while hiking in Yellowstone, Uhura has just contacted them]
Uhura: Bad news gentlemen... shore leave's been canceled.
Chekov: [to Sulu] Rescued at last!

Kirk: My friends, the great experiment: The Excelsior. Ready for trial runs.
Sulu: She's supposed to have transwarp drive.
Scotty: Aye, and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon!
Kirk: Come, come, Mr. Scott. Young minds, fresh ideas. Be tolerant!

"Mr. Adventure": Look at you. You're a twenty-year space veteran, yet you pick the worst duty station in town. I mean, look at this place. This is the hind end of space.
Commander Nyota Uhura: Peace and quiet appeals to me, Lieutenant.
"Mr. Adventure": Well, maybe that's OK for someone like you, whose career is winding down. But me, I need some excitement, some adventure... maybe even just a surprise or two.
Commander Nyota Uhura: Well, you know what they say, Lieutenant. Be careful what you wish for. You might get it.
[Kirk, McCoy and Sulu enter the transporter room]
Kirk: Uhura, is everything ready?
Commander Nyota Uhura: Step into my parlor, gentlemen.
"Mr. Adventure": That's Admiral Kirk, my God!
Commander Nyota Uhura: Very good for you, Lieutenant.
"Mr. Adventure": But it's damned irregular. No destination points, no encoded ID's.
Commander Nyota Uhura: All true.
"Mr. Adventure": So what are we gonna do about it?
Commander Nyota Uhura: I'm not gonna do anything about it. You're gonna sit in the closet.
"Mr. Adventure": The *closet*? Have you lost your sense of reality?
Commander Nyota Uhura: This isn't reality.
[Turns a phaser on him]
Commander Nyota Uhura: This is fantasy. You wanted adventure, how's this? The old adrenaline going, huh? Good boy. Now get in the closet.
"Mr. Adventure": OK...
Commander Nyota Uhura: Go on.
"Mr. Adventure": I'll just get in the closet. All right! Damn!
[Falls into the closet and shuts the door]
McCoy: I'm glad you're on *our* side!
Kirk: [Pointing to the closet] Are you sure you can handle...?
Commander Nyota Uhura: Oh, I'll have Mr Adventure eating out of my hand, and I'll see all of you at the rendezvous.

Cmdr. Nyota Uhura: You are Crewman Dax?
Crewman Dax: Yes Commander. What is the problem?
Commander Pavel Chekov: Perhaps you have heard Russian epic of Cinderella? If shoe fits, wear it!
[drops magnetic boots at Dax's feet]
Captain Spock: Mr. Chekov...
[camera pans down to show that Dax's feet are incapable of fitting into boots]

Kirk: What are we all doing here?
McCoy: Maybe they're throwing us a retirement party.
Scotty: That suits me. I just bought a boat.

Cmdr. Uhura: But where is Alameda?


"Star Trek: The Mark of Gideon (#3.16)" (1969)
Hodin: [on viewscreen, speaking from Gideon] Mr. Spock you are an officer of a spaceship. In your profession you use many instruments, tools and weapons to achieve your objectives.
Mr. Spock: [on the bridge of the Enterprise] True, your excellency.
Hodin: However, the only 'tool' diplomacy has is language. It is of the utmost importance that the meaning be crystal clear.
Mr. Spock: Your excellency, I am basically a scientist. Clarity of formulation is essential in my profession also.
Hodin: I am glad to hear it. Perhaps you could then make greater effort to choose your words more precisely.
[sits down]
Dr. McCoy: [to Spock] Are you gonna let him get away with that?

Uhura: Yes, he's infuriating, sir, how can you stand it?

Kirk: I read you captain. Let's have it.
Spock: The situation is grave, Admiral. We won't have main power for six "days". Auxiliary power has temporarily failed. Restoration may be possible, in two "days". By the book, Admiral.
Kirk: Meaning you can't even beam us back?
Spock: Not at present.
Kirk: Captain Spock, if you don't hear from us within one hour, your orders are to restore what power you can, take the Enterprise to the nearest star base, and alert Starfleet Command as soon as you're out of jamming range.
Commander Nyota Uhura: Sir, we won't leave you behind!
