As a followup to the recent bit about Bones' "I'm a doctor, not a 
..." line, I'd like to start a new inquiry into particularly 
ironic lines from STAR TREK.

  Of the top of my head, two come to mind:

    1) In "The Naked Time", Kirk does a solilique about his 
attachment to the Enterprise. I forget the last line, but it's 
something like "I'll never let anything happen to you."

       Anyway, at least until we make a couple of movies. :-)


    2) Spock's last line in "Space Seed" is "It would be 
interesting to go back to that world in a hundred years to see the
crop that sprung from the seed you planted today."

       This line is laughable when you remember that Spock died in
"ST II: The Wrath of Kahn".


Anyone know any others?

Kirk:   You ought to sell a manual of instructions with these things.
Cyrano: If I did, Captain... what would happen to the search for knowledge?
