The quote, I believe was "Mr. LaForge, I was fixing warp engines when your grandfather was still in diapers."

Ironically, he was likely in diapers when my grandfather was fixing warp engines...or killing Nazis.

"Some of you, if you are truly ST buffs and self assurance is warranted may indeed find this quiz simple. However if that persists, from deeper in our mind can we find questions even more unpleasant."

The fuck?

It always bothered me how Scotty said "diapers" in that scene. It was as if he was trying to say it in a Scottish accent. But Scots would say "nappies", not "diapers". And most words that only Americans say tend to be pronounced in a slightly American way by other English speaking languages.

What were we talking about again?

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Actually, he himself was killing Nazis as he fought in WW2 and lost a thumb or finger.

Unless, of course, that Scot preferred one word over another. It happens!

Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week?
Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir.
Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then.
Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

Ok you guys are good I admit it.
However, I may have been kind of easy on you due to the collective "duh" I got from the other forum.
Try "TOS Quotes" in forum competitions board.
I was still a little easy but it will be very difficult to look up the answers on this one.
It's straight from my mind to yours.
This one is for TOS buffs only.
