Star Trek Beyond: 10 Best Moments

8. Jaylah Tries (And Fails) To Get Drunk

Star Trek Beyond
Paramount Pictures

At the tail-end of the movie, the Enterprise crew are celebrating Captain Kirk's birthday, and Scotty goes to talk to Jaylah about joining Starfleet, at which point she's worked her way through about a dozen glasses of booze, hoping to "take the edge off".

Hilariously, she tells Scotty that it hasn't worked, suggesting that her alien genetics give her an insane tolerance of alcohol. Still, it's a fun moment that develops her character in an intriguing way, and Scotty's subsequent offer to join Starfleet suggests that she should hopefully be sticking around for more movies. She's too awesome to waste on one film.
