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.
