TOS
Bridge Keeper: What is your name?
Kirk: James Tiberius Kirk.
Bridge Keeper: What is your quest?
Kirk: A five year mission to explore the galaxy.
Bridge Keeper: Which uniform do you think you look the best in?
Kirk: The gold one. But…my Mirrorverse uniform is very sexy… (gets thrown off bridge)
Reboot
Bridge Keeper: What is your name?
Kirk: James Tiberius Kirk.
Bridge Keeper: What is your quest?
Kirk: A five year mission to explore the galaxy.
Bridge Keeper: Will you sleep with Mary Sue?
Kirk: Is she hot?
Bridge Keeper: Incorrect.
(Kirk falls off bridge and lands next to another man)
Shatner!Kirk: Hello, my younger self. Did they ask you the uniform question too?
Pine!Kirk: No, they asked me whether I'd sleep with someone called Mary Sue.
Shatner!Kirk: Did you say…yes?
Pine!Kirk: No, I asked if she was hot.
Shatner!Kirk: They're always hot. But…don't sleep with them. They're…parasites. They drain away your personality, until you are unfit to command, then take command of the ship and lead you to disaster. Do not fall in love with the the Mary Sue.
Pine!Kirk: Thanks. I guess.
Shatner!Kirk: Don't mention it. If you ever need tips for removing them…contact Spock Prime. We faced down many of them.
Pine!Kirk: I'll keep that in mind.
(They work together to climb out of the chasm, meeting their respective Spocks)
Both Reboot and TOS
Bridge Keeper: What is your name?
Spock: Spock.
Bridge Keeper: What is your quest?
Spock: Currently, to find my captain.
Bridge Keeper: May I have your autograph?
Spock: No. (He pulls out a slip of paper and a pen, on which he writes his name. He then hands it to the bridge keeper.)
Bridge Keeper: You were wrong.
(Spock jumps off the bridge to find Kirk)
Bridge Keeper: What is your name?
McCoy: Leonard McCoy. Kirk calls me Bones.
Bridge Keeper: What is your quest?
McCoy: At the moment, to get over this bridge so I can go back and get Kirk and Spock.
Bridge Keeper: How do you play a chord on a violin?
McCoy: Dammit, man, I'm a doctor, not a musician!
Bridge Keeper: That is correct. You may go.
McCoy: …All right then.
TNG
Bridge Keeper: What is your name?
Data: Data.
Bridge Keeper: What is your quest?
Data: To become more human.
Bridge Keeper: What does it feel like to be angry?
Data: I do not know. (holds up hands to prevent keeper from pushing him off) You asked that question because you thought that, as an android, I would be incapable of answering it correctly. However, I have asked humans that very question, and no one has been able to give a satisfactory answer. Therefore, the question is invalid. (pushes keeper off)
DS9
Bridge Keeper: What is your name?
Odo: People call me Odo.
Bridge Keeper: What is your quest?
Odo: To keep order on the space station known as Deep Space Nine.
Bridge Keeper: Can you shapeshift into something for me?
Odo: No.
Bridge Keeper: Haha! I said can you, not will you!
(Odo rolls his eyes as he's pushed off the bridge. Some time later, a smug looking bird is seen flying across the chasm.)
Bridge Keeper: What is your name?
Bashir: Julian Bashir.
Bridge Keeper: What is your quest?Bashir: Currently, to get across this bridge.

Bridge Keeper: What is your name?
Garak: Garak. Plain, simple Garak.
Bridge Keeper: What is your quest?
Garak: At the moment, to get across this bridge.
Bridge Keeper: Are you in an ersatz homosexual relationship with Bashir?

If I come up with more, I'll post them.
