• Riley : And now, crew, I will render 'Kathleen'... ONE MORE TIME!

  Capt. Kirk : [murmuring to himself]  Please, not again.

• Riley : [over the intercom]  Now, attention, cooks, this is your captain speaking. I'd like double portions of ice cream for the entire crew.

• Riley : [over the intercom]  Lt. Uhura, you've interrupted my song, uh... I'm sorry but there'll be no ice cream for YOU tonight.

  Capt. Kirk : Cut him off.

  Uhura : I can't, sir. There's no way to do it.

  Riley : Attention, crew, this is Capt. Riley. There will be a formal dance in the bowling alley at nineteen hundred hours tonight.

• [the Enterprise is spiraling out of control toward a disintegrating planet, crewmen are going loopy as flies, and Riley, barricaded in the engine room, has been singing off-key over the ship's intercom for the last several hours. Rand enters the bridge hurriedly as Kirk drags an hysterically giggling Leslie away from the helm station] 

  Yeoman Rand : I would have gotten here sooner, sir, but Crewman Williams stopped me in the hall and...

  Capt. Kirk : Take the helm!

  Yeoman Rand : Sir?

  Capt. Kirk : [shoving her into the chair]  TAKE THE HELM!

  Yeoman Rand : Yes, sir.

  [Kirk pulls a semi-comatose crewman away from the engineering section as Riley's song comes to an end] 

  Riley : [over the intercom]  And now... ONE MORE TIME.

  Capt. Kirk : [stalking over to a frantically-working Uhura]  At least TRY cutting him off!

  Uhura : [shouting]  Sir, if I could cut him off, don't you think I...?

  [She suddenly remembers to whom she's speaking and visibly gets her temper under control] 

  Uhura : Yes, sir. I'll keep trying.

  Capt. Kirk : [ruefully]  Sorry.

  [Uhura smiles back at him and gets back to work] 

• Riley : You know what Joe's mistake was? He wasn't born an Irishman.

• Riley : [upon seeing that others have finally broken into Engineering to end his captaincy]  No dance tonight.

• Riley : You rang, sir?

  Capt. Kirk : Who is this?

  Riley : This is Captain Kevin Thomas Riley of the Starship Enterprise. And who's this?

  Capt. Kirk : This is Captain Kirk. Get out of the engine room, Navigator. Where's Mr. Scott?

  Riley : I've relieved Mister Scott of his duties.

• Sulu : Don't know if it's this planet or what happened with Joe... I'm sweating like a bridegroom.

  Riley : Yeah, me too.

• Sulu : Hey, why don't you come down to the gym with me, Kevin, my lad.

  Riley : Now?

  Sulu : Why not? A light work-out will take the edge off.

• Riley : Have no fear, O'Riley's here, and one Irishman is worth ten THOUSAND of you...

  Spock : You're relieved, Mister Riley! Lieutenant Uhura, take over this station

  Uhura : Yes sir!

  Riley : Now THAT'S what I like. Let the WOMEN work too! Universal SUFFRAGE...

  Spock : Report to sickbay, Mister Riley!

  Riley : Sick bay? Exactly where I was headed. Sir!
