Admiral Benson: I slipped on a crab. Who put that crab there?
Lt. Commander Block: I don't see any crab, sir.
Admiral Benson: Don't tell me. There were two crabs. They work in pairs. I went to Annapolis for chrissakes!

Jim 'Wash Out' Pfaffenbach: Looks like enemy aircraft at 12 o'clock.

Did you know that Loyd Bridges was originally offered the role as the Captain of the Starship Enterprise?

I think William Shatner is the most, James Kirk/T.J. Hooker/Denny Crane, I own the full set of Boston Legal, I hope to own the full Star Trek set!!
