Quotes 

• Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : I've learned about your marriage customs, how your parents arrange the whole thing when you're young, stuff like that. But... what about... you know...

  Kov : Ah, you mean sex?

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : [hemming and hawing]  It's not a topic I've heard Vulcans discuss.

  Kov : Well, we do have it if that's what you're asking.

• [Trip and Kov are talking over lunch] 

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Where'd you hear that?

  Kov : A Vulcan anthropologist told me he'd seen the ritual during an Earth expedition.

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : They're not trying to *kill* the quarterback. They're just trying to keep him from throwing the ball or running with it. It's only a game, not a fight to the death.

• [Tucker is trying to persuade Kov to contact his father, who is dying. After failing with the direct approach, he tells Kov instead about a girl he once had a crush on] 

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : It's been more than twenty years, and I'm still kickin' myself for not asking that girl to dance. You probably don't know this, but... regret is one of the strongest emotions, and... one of the saddest. I have a feeling you haven't had a brush with it yet; but it sounds to me like... you're pretty close. That's something you might want to avoid.
