Uhura Quotes in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)

[their first look at the USS Excelsior]

Uhura: Would you look at that.

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.

Uhura: Peace and quiet appeals to me, Lieutenant.

Mr. Adventure: Well, maybe that's okay for someone like you, whose career is winding down. But me, I need some excitement, some adventure... maybe even just a surprise or two.

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?

Uhura: Step into my parlor, gentlemen.

Mr. Adventure: That's Admiral Kirk, my God!

Uhura: Very good for you, Lieutenant.

Mr. Adventure: But it's damned irregular. No destination points, no encoded ID's.

Uhura: All true.

Mr. Adventure: So what are we gonna do about it?

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?

Uhura: This isn't reality.

[Turns a phaser on him]

Uhura: This is fantasy. You wanted adventure, how's this? The old adrenaline going, huh? Good boy. Now get in the closet.

Mr. Adventure: All right...

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...?

Uhura: Oh, I'll have "Mr. Adventure" eating out of my hand, sir. And I'll see all of you at the rendezvous.

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 visual says sunny skies and seventy degrees.

Chekov: [stops blowing] Sulu, look. The sun's come out. It's a miracle.

Uhura: [over communicator] Don't worry, fellas. Your secret's safe with me. I'll sent a shutlecraft to pick you up.

Sulu: Uhura, I owe you one! Sulu out.

[hiking in the woods of Yellowstone]

Chekov: Admit it, we're lost.

Sulu: All right, we're lost. But we're making good time!

Uhura: [over communicator] Commander Sulu, come in please.

Sulu: I don't believe this! Commander Sulu here.

Uhura: Bad news, gentlemen. Shore leave's been canceled.

Chekov: [relieved] Rescued at last!

Uhura: Return to the pre-arranged coordinates for pickup.

Chekov: Don't tell them we're lost. We'll never live it down here.

Uhura: [arriving to pick up Kirk from shore leave] Captain, we've received important orders from Starfleet Command.

Kirk: Why didn't you just beep my communicator?

Uhura: You 'forgot' to take it with you.

Kirk: Oh... I wonder 'why' I did that?

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?
