Spock: Lt. Uhura, your last log contained an error in the frequencies column.
Uhura: Mr Spock, sometimes I think if I hear that word "frequency" one more time, I'll cry.
Spock: Cry?
Uhura: I was just trying to start a conversation.
Spock: Well, since it is illogical for a Communications Officer to resent the word "frequency," I have no answer.
Uhura: You have an answer. I'm an illogical woman, who's beginning to feel too much a part of that communications console. Why don't you tell me I'm an attractive young lady, or ask me if I've ever been in love, tell me how your planet Vulcan looks on a lazy evening when the moon is full.
Spock: Vulcan has no moon, Miss Uhura.
Uhura: I'm not surprised.
The Man Trap
Sulu: I'll protect you, fair maiden!
Uhura: Sorry, neither!

Uhura's song from Charlie X. An unusually tolerant Spock accompanies on his Vulcan harp.
Oh, on the Starship Enterprise There's someone who's in Satan's guise, Whose devil's ears and devil's eyes Could rip your heart from you! At first his look could hypnotize, And then his touch would barbarize. His alien love could victimize... And rip your heart from you! And that's why female astronauts Oh very female astronauts Wait terrified and overwrought To find what he will do. Oh girls in space, be wary, be wary, be wary! Girls in space, be wary! We know not what he'll do.
Uhura: Peace and quiet appeals to me, Lieutenant.
"Mr Adventure": Well, maybe that's okay for someone like you, whose career is winding down, but me, I need some challenge in my life, some adventure, maybe even just a surprise or two.
Uhura: Well, you know what they say, Lieutenant, be careful what you wish for - you may get it.
The Search for Spock
"Mr Adventure": No destination orders, no encoded IDs...
Uhura: All true.
"Mr Adventure": And what are we going to do about it?
Uhura: I'm not going to do anything about it. You're going to sit in the closet.
"Mr Adventure": The closet?? Have you lost your sense of reality?
Uhura: This isn't reality - this is fantasy.
