Star Trek: The Next Generation1987

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge:
Data! Data, isn't this exciting? We are going to witness a moment in history!

Lt. Commander Data:
[puzzled] Every nanosecond in this continuum is a moment in history, once it has elapsed.

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge:
No, no, no, no, I mean, we are gonna see something that people will talk about for years! I mean, think about it: no more bulky warp engines, or nacelles. A ship just generates a soliton wave and then rides it through space, like a surfboard. This is going to be like being there to watch Chuck Yeager break the sound barrier, or Zefram Cochrane engage the first warp drive!

Lt. Commander Data:
[emotionless] It should be interesting.

Lieutenant Worf:
[equally unenthusiastic] Very exciting.

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge:
I'm talking to the wrong crowd. Er, D-Donaldson! Donaldson, you're an engineer...!
