Commander Pavel Chekov Quotes in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

[Watching a replay of the torpedo hit]

Commander Pavel Chekov: It is Enterprise. We fired them.

Captain Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott: That is not possible! All weapons visually accounted for, sir.

Captain Spock: An ancestor of mine maintained that when you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. If we did not fire those torpedoes, another ship did.

Lieutenant Valeris: A Bird-of-Prey?

Captain Spock: A Bird-of-Prey.

Commander Pavel Chekov: Cloaked?

Captain Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott: A Bird-of-Prey cannot open fire when she's cloaked!

Captain Spock: All things being equal, Mr. Scott, I would agree with you. However, all things are not equal. This one can.

Commander Pavel Chekov: I don't understand. If there was another ship underneath us, surely the assassins beamed aboard from that vessel, not Enterprise.

Captain Spock: You're forgetting something, Mr. Chekov. According to our ship's databanks, this ship fired those torpedoes. If we did, the killers are here. If we did not, whoever altered the databanks is here. In either case, what we are looking for, is here.

Captain James T. Kirk: Valeris, know anything about a radiation surge?

Lieutenant Valeris: Sir?

Captain James T. Kirk: Chekov?

Commander Pavel Chekov: Only the size of my head.

Captain James T. Kirk: [to himself] I know what you mean.

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]
