Star Trek: The Next Generation1987

[La Forge and Scotty are trying to get the Jenolan up and running]

Scotty:
[muttering] Bunch of old, useless garbage!

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge:
Huh?

Scotty:
I say it's old, Mr. La Forge. It can't handle the interface of your power converter. This equipment was designed for a different era. Now it's just a piece of junk.

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge:
Well, I don't know, it seems like some of it's held together pretty well.

Scotty:
Century out of date. It's just... obsolete!

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge:
Well, you know, that's interesting, because I was just thinking that a lot of these systems haven't changed much in the last 75 years. This transporter is basically the same system we use on the Enterprise. Subspace radio and sensors still operate under the same basic principle; impulse engine design hasn't changed much in the last 200 years. If it wasn't for all the structural damage, this ship still might be in service today.

Scotty:
Maybe so. But when they can build ships like your Enterprise, who'd want to pilot an old bucket like this?

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge:
I don't know. If this ship were operational, I bet she'd run circles around the Enterprise at impulse speeds. Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away.
