Can you name the Star Trek movies from which these quotes came? More: Can you name the character saying each quote? Even more: can you name to whom (or to what) the character is speaking?
Some selections will be obscure; others should be easy to figure out. (NB: I'm quoting from memory, so some snippets might be sliiiightly off-- write in with corrections if you have them.)
No quotes will come from "Insurrection" and "Nemesis," both of which were huge disappointments to me. All excerpts are from Star Trek I through VIII.

"Who am I to argue with history?"
"Up yer shaft."
"The line must be drawn here! This far, no farther! And I will make them pay for what they have done!"
"Time is the fire in which we burn."

"Warrior to warrior..."
"Maybe it's something we can transplant, hm?"
"You're blended, all right."
"This is fantasy. You wanted adventure? How's this? The old adrenaline going?"
"I would accept that as an axiom."
"Belay that phaser order! Fire photon torpedoes!"
