Castor: I have obtained what you wanted. I'll need a couple of days for testing still, it's not quite ready yet.
C: I don't have a couple of days.
Castor: Rush this, and we risk a spatial collapse within The Consortium.
C: If you want to restore the former glory of your family, I'd hurry. Make haste and remember; don't fail.

Scotty: Do you mind a little advice? Starfleet captains are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give them only what they need, not what they want.
Geordi: Yeah, well, I told the Captain I'd have this analysis done in an hour.
Scotty: How long would it really take?
Geordi: An hour.
Scotty: Oh, you didn't tell him how long it would really take, did you?
Geordi: Well of course I did.
Scotty: Oh, laddie, you have a lot to learn if you want people to think of you as a miracle worker!

"My crew has managed to do in 48 hours what would've taken the armory team at Jupiter Station at least a week. To say that I'm proud of them would be an understatement."

Kirk: Scotty, progress report?
Scotty: I'm almost done, sir. You'll be fully automated by the time we dock.
Kirk: Your timing is excellent, Mr. Scott. You've fixed the barn door after the horse has come home. How much refit time till we can take her out of here?
Scotty: Eight weeks, sir. But you don't have eight weeks so I'll do it for ya in two.
Kirk: Mr. Scott, have you always multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of four?
Scotty: Certainly, sir. How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle worker?
Kirk: Your reputation is secure, Scotty.

Rutherford: You never admit the actual amount of time it takes to finish a job. If you did, your days would be packed.
Tendi: Isn't that lying?
Rutherford: No. It's "creative estimating". When you get an assignment, you exaggerate how long it's gonna take, then you're a hero when it's done early.

Kermit: Sam! Are you about ready?!
Sam: Yes, it is a glorious three-hour finale—
Kermit: You got a minute and a half!
Sam: Yes, it is a glorious three-hour finale—
Kermit: You got a minute and a half!
Teddy: Let's assume Miss Park didn't miss anything, so Mark's not going to Ares IV. Yet. But he's smart enough to figure out that's his only chance. Bruce, what's the earliest we can get a pre-supply there?
Bruce: Well, with the positions of Earth and Mars, it'll take nine months. And it'll take six months to build it in the first place.
Teddy: Three months.
Bruce: Three? That's-
Teddy: You're going to say it's impossible, and then I'm gonna make a speech about the blinding capabilities of the JPL team, and then you're going to do the math in your head and say something like "the overtime alone will be a nightmare."
Bruce: The overtime alone will be a nightmare.
Teddy: Get started. I'll find you the money.

Dr. Eggman: There's been an unexpected delay on my end. There's no more time to waste! Set the timer for 15 minutes! Let's go, Rouge!
Rouge: 5 minutes should be plenty! Here I got!
