OP specifically asked for a random line but everybody's posting carefully selected lines.

[–] MajorasMaskForever@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That's kind of the point though, isn't it?

If I were to post with "Extend the plank!" there's a near zero chance that even fans of the movie, or even the franchise, I'm thinking of will get the movie right. If I instead say "Who am I to argue with the Captain of the Enterprise" a normie might guess Star Trek, a true nerd and fan of the franchise will peg that instantly as from Star Trek Generations

Edit: That said, there are several lines in this thread that aren't necessarily only recognizable to fans or people familiar with the movie, but instead just pop culture references.

The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of Humanity.

A gun rack? A gun rack. I don't even own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do...with a gun rack?

"Senor Diiickheeead!"

Best opening lines with the most exposition. We learned everything we needed to know
