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.

Professor Robert Crater: Like the creatures here. Once there were millions of them. Now there's one left. Nancy understood.
