Star Trek: The Animated Series

Capt. Kirk:
[having just beamed down to Dramia II] Not the most enchanting place I've ever been to.

Demos:
Plagues seldom leave behind fields of flowers, Captain.

Mr. Spock:
General order 6 has been activated?

Sulu:
Yes, sir. If everyone on board has perished at the end of 24 hours the ship will self-destruct in... in order to protect other beings from the disease on board.

Mr. Spock:
You realize doctor, if you go and fail to find an antidote, you too will die.

Dr. McCoy:
I'm a doctor, Spock. A doctor! Get us beamed aboard!

Capt. Kirk:
Gentlemen, I don't know about you, but I'm ready to get back to Starbase.

Dr. McCoy:
Yes, sir.

Dr. McCoy:
And I'm ready to get back to some of that monotonous, ol' routine sickbay work.

Mr. Spock:
Including, I would hope, some of that monotonous, old dispensing of the regular vitamin rations to the crew.

Dr. McCoy:
What is that supposed to mean?

Mr. Spock:
Well, you have been derelict in your duties, of late, doctor.

Dr. McCoy:
Spock, you know as well as I do what we've all just been through.

Mr. Spock:
Hippocrates would not have approved of lame excuses, doctor.

Dr. McCoy:
Jim, if I'm ever in jail again, don't send that Vulcan to release me. Just let me rot.

Capt. Kirk:
Commander Bem, you were assigned to this ship as an independent observer yet you have spend the past six missions in your quarters. You haven't done any observing at all. Until now, when we're dealing with possibly a very dangerous planet.

Mr. Spock:
It appears to be a native food gathering party.

Capt. Kirk:
Yes, and the food they have gathered... is Bem!

Capt. Kirk:
Our phasers and communicators have been switched for phonies, and Commander Bem has run off. We've been separated from the rest of the landing party... Mr Spock, something funny is going on.

Capt. Kirk:
[stuck in a wooden cage] How come we always end up like this?

Mr. Spock:
I assume that's a rhetorical question, captain, not requiring an anwer.

Uhura:
We can't get any readings at all now.

Scott:
Aye, that tears it. The Loch Ness monster couldn't get through that.

Entity:
Who are you?

Capt. Kirk:
I am captain James Tiberius Kirk of the starship Enterprise. This is my first officer Mr. Spock and honorary commander Ari bn Bem of the planet Pambro.

Capt. Kirk:
There are times, Mr. Spock when I think I should have been a librarian.

Mr. Spock:
The job of librarian, would be no less challenging, captain. But it would undoubtedly be a lot less dangerous.

Capt. Kirk:
Spread out. Find Commander Bem. He's split into three individual parts.

Scott:
Beg pardon, sir?

Capt. Kirk:
He's some kind of colony creature. And take care not to injure any of the natives here. Phasers on lightest possible stun setting. And don't fire, unless absolutely necessary.

Bem:
This one must... disassemble unity.

Capt. Kirk:
Disassemble?

Bem:
Never to exist again as a cooperation. This unity is defective. This unity must cease to exist.

Entity:
Punishment? What is punishment? Revenge? Intelligent beings need no revenge. Punishment is nessessary only where learning cannot occur without it. You are behind that.

Bem:
This one does not demean oneself by the use of casual violence to accomplish goals.

Capt. Kirk:
Oh?

Bem:
But you may demean yourself, if you wish.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Captain's log, stardate: 5221.3. On outward course beyond the fringe of our galaxy towards Questar M-17, a source of mysterious radio emissions. Mission: Star charting.

Captain James T. Kirk:
You're sure, Mr. Spock?

Mr. Spock:
Probability: point nine, nine, seven, captain.

Mr. Spock:
A physiological symptom of latent primal superstition. The fear of primitive people confronting something unknown to them.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Compared to the people who built this ship, we are primitives. Even you Mr. Spock.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Captain's log, stardate: 5221.8, final entry. Resuming outward course beyond the farthest star of our galaxy. Mission: star charting.

[repeated line]

Magnetic Organism:
Obey me!

Captain Kirk:
This city is one gigantic riddle. Keep alert.

Kukulkan:
If you do not know me, than it is my task to teach you!

[transports the crewmen to another place]

Dr. McCoy:
Just once I wish he'd let us use the stairs.

Scott:
I could never be proud of puttin' wee beasties in cages.

Kukulkan:
You still are children to me, to be led and shown how to live.

Captain Kirk:
But if children are made totally dependent on their children, they will never be anything but children.

Kukulkan:
Enough! This is useless! Despite what I have shown you, you still cling to your disobedient ways. My dream is ending and all of you are to blame!

Kukulkan:
Irrational savages, see what you have done.

Dr. McCoy:
There's a line from Shakespeare...

Captain Kirk:
Yes Bones, I remember it: How sharper than a serpents tooth it is to have a thankless child.

Mr. Spock:
Indeed, Captain.

Scotty:
Aye, Captain. But you've got to admit, if we've got to have tribbles, it's best if all our tribbles are little ones.

Lt. Uhura:
[during first Klingon attack] Well, we could always throw rocks.

Mr. Spock:
[much later, after second Klingon attack] We could always throw tribbles at them.

Koloth:
If I have to take him by force, I will.

Captain James T. Kirk:
The first Klingon to step aboard this ship will be the last Klingon.

Scotty:
But we've got tribbles on the ship, quintotriticale in the corridors, Klingons in the quadrant... it can ruin your whole day, sir!

Lieutenant Uhura:
Message coming in, sir.

Commander Spock:
A 'safe tribble' would be a contradiction in terms.

Dr. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy:
There's no such thing as a safe tribble.

Commander Spock:
[the Enterprise is being threatened by Klingons and has a large amount of fat tribbles to contend with] We could always throw Tribbles at them, Captain

Captain James T. Kirk:
Spock, I thought Vulcans didn't have a sense of humor

Commander Spock:
They don't, Captain.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Captain's Log, Stardate 5392.4. The Enterprise has been assigned to escort two robot grain ships to Sherman's Planet, which has been struck by crop failures and famine. This shipment of grain, quintotriticale, is necessary to the survival of the colonists. We are breaking course to Sherman's Planet to investigate what appears to be a Klingon battle cruiser pursuing some kind of smaller ship. Observation may confirm a rumor that the Klingons have a new weapon type so far, unknown.

Captain James T. Kirk:
The new weapon, Spock?

Mr. Spock:
Some kind of field effect, captain. It will hit us inprecisely four seconds. It produces a most remarkable... [the field effect hits the Enterprise]... disruption.

Captain James T. Kirk:
I am concerned about that new Klingon weapon.

Mr. Spock:
It is an energy sapping field of great strength, captain. It immobilizes a starship and it's weapons capability. But apparently, it also immobilizes the attacking ships abilities at the same time.

Scotty:
Aye, and if that's true, then it's a weapon that leaves them as helpless as it does us.

Mr. Spock:
I believe I just said that, Mr. Scott.

Captain James T. Kirk:
You... sold... tribbles... on a Klingon planet.

Cyrano Jones:
Well I didn't know it was a Klingon planet.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Tribbles don't like Klingons. That should have given you some clue.

Cyrano Jones:
Klingons like tribbles even less.

Captain James T. Kirk:
[about the Tribbles] In any case, they're eating the quintotriticale.

Cyrano Jones:
The what?

Captain James T. Kirk:
The wheat!

Captain James T. Kirk:
Status report on the damaged grain ship, Scotty.

Scotty:
Well, sir, we managed to transfer all the grain aboard, but it severely limits us. We filled the shuttlecraft hangars, all our extra holds, and we've even got containers of that wheat - that quadritritacale - in the corridors of the ship. And then we've got that other robot ship to escort, too. I don't like it at all, sir!

Captain James T. Kirk:
Nor do I, Mr. Scott. But we've got to do it. Sherman's Planet needs that grain desperately.

Scotty:
Aye, sir. But we've got tribbles on the ship, quadritritacale in corridors, Klingons in the quadrant... It can ruin your whole day, sir!

Mr. Spock:
Aren't you going to sit down, sir?

Captain James T. Kirk:
[a giant tribble is in Kirk's chair] I think I'll stand...

Captain James T. Kirk:
I thought we left you on the robot planet, Harry, permanently.

Harcourt Fenton Mudd:
Never underestimate the spirit of Harcourt Fenton Mudd. I, um, borrowed a vehicle...

Mr. Spock:
Stole a spaceship.

Harcourt Fenton Mudd:
...and left to find haven on Ilyra VI. A charming planet: an innocent and friendly populace...

Captain James T. Kirk:
To whom you sold the Star Fleet space academy.

Mr. Spock:
And appended hereto is a medical summary by Nurse Christine Chapel. [Smiles and softens voice as love potion takes effect] Ah, Nurse Chapel's sweet summary. Dear, lovely Christine.

Mr. Spock:
Captain, um, Doctor, I wish to report a, um, a number of very strange, um, *emotions*.

Doctor McCoy:
What?

Captain James T. Kirk:
What?

Captain James T. Kirk:
Do you think Harry Mudd is doen there, Spock?

Mr. Spock:
The probability of his presence on Motherlode is 81 per cent plus or minus .53.

Doctor McCoy:
Why can't you just say Mudd's probably there?

Mr. Spock:
I just did, doctor.

Captain James T. Kirk:
He's going planetside.

Mr. Spock:
No! Not with my Christine!

Captain James T. Kirk:
Spock, can't you take your hands of her?

Mr. Spock:
That's my affair!

Nurse Christine Chapel:
Captain, please!

Mr. Spock:
Thanks, Jim, it's good to have a friend like you.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Strange, that's how I feel about you too. My dear friend Spock.

Doctor McCoy:
Did I ever tel you about the time I saved captain Kirk's life? Or Spocks? [the girl shakes her head] And my dear friend scotty, and that pretty little lieutenant Uhura, I've saved just about everbody on this here ship. If the Enterprise had a heart, I'd safe her too! Now, let's talk about your heart, my dear.

Master computer:
I will make them cease to function. I wil turn them off.

Uhura:
That's murder!

Master computer:
Is that a word meaning to cease to function?

Uhura:
Yes, but...

Master computer:
Good. It is as I wish, I will turn them off.

Mr. Spock:
Was anyone considering the subject of pterodactyls?

Doctor McCoy:
Spock, not now!

Doctor McCoy:
Your forgetting one thing: the planet's sensors can undoubtedly deteact the difference between real and feigned injuries.

Captain James T. Kirk:
True, Bones, but I'm sure there must be something in your little black pouch that can temporarily incapacitate our victim?

Doctor McCoy:
Well, something like Melenex might do the trick: brief unconciousness and temporary skin discoloration. It looks worse than it is.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Perfect, Bones.

Lt. Hikaru Sulu:
It's been almost 5 minutes, captain.

Doctor McCoy:
Maybe the planet smells a trick.

Captain James T. Kirk:
What happened to the keeper?

Master computer:
He was old. He ceased to function.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Any conclusions?

Mr. Spock:
Only the beginning of a theory, captain. It is possible this cloud in which we are entrapped is a living thing. The cloud is alive.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Judging from the disappearance of Alondra, the cloud lives on the energy it converts from the planets it consumes.

Mr. Spock:
Exactly. It is like a huge bull grazing here and there in the pasture of the universe.

Mr. Spock:
Captain, I have completed the analysis of the target area. Unfortunately, the brain is so vast, our entire offensive armament will not assure its destruction. However, the brain could e completely destroyed if we convert the entire ship to energy aimed at the brain's cortex and expand the energy in one mortal strike.

Doctor McCoy:
That sounds like you're telling us to blow up the ship.

Mr. Spock:
I believe that is what I just said, doctor.

Doctor McCoy:
Jim, if we don't self-destruct now, all those people will die!

Captain James T. Kirk:
Spock, what did you... perceive?

Mr. Spock:
The wonders of the universe, captain. Incredible. Completely incredible.

Doctor McCoy:
Medical Log: Stardate 5506.2. Captain Kirk and First Officer Spock were rescued forty-eight hours ago. They have no recollection of what happened to them after they were attacked, but medical examinations show an unidentified substance in the blood stream has affected their entire metabolism and changed them into water breathers. Their internal structure is completely transformed, and even their eyes are covered with a transparent film, like the second eyelid of a fish. So far all efforts to return them to normal have failed.

Captain James T. Kirk:
I can't command a ship from inside an aquarium.

Doctor McCoy:
[on intercom] There's a seaquake due in that area. A bad one. Complete topography changes.

Scotty:
How soon?

Doctor McCoy, Scotty:
Within four hours. When are Jim and Spock due to make contact?

Scotty:
About the same time.

Scotty:
Well can you contact them sooner?

Scotty:
We can try like blue blazes. Scott out.

Mr. Spock:
It is quite possible, captain, that they find us grotesque and ugly and many people fear beings different from themselves.

Commodore Robert April:
No matter where I've traveled in the galaxy, Jim, this bridge is more like home than anywhere else.

Capt. Kirk:
Yes, Commodore, I know the feeling.

Commodore Robert April:
To me she was always like my child. I was there in the San Francisco Navy Yard when her unit components were built.

Mr. Spock:
Captain, the flower is not the only thing on board that is growing younger.

Capt. Kirk:
Explain, Spock.

Mr. Spock:
Ship's chronometers are also running backwards. The flow of time is reversed in this universe. The longer we stay here, the younger we will become.

Capt. Kirk:
[referring to Karla Five] I can understand her now without the aid of the Universal Translator.

Mr. Spock:
Apparently our brains are also working in reverse, Captain.

Capt. Kirk:
Gentlemen, I'm sure none of us mind growing younger instead of older for a change.

Commodore Robert April:
It pleases me, Jim. If we stay here long enough I'll no longer be at the mandatory retirement age.

Commodore Robert April:
What a blessing to be able to live ones life over again. If the life you've led has left you unfulfilled. No Sarah, I don't want to live it all over again. I couldn't improve one bit on what we've had together.

Captain James T. Kirk:
A captain of a ship, no matter his rank, must follow the book.

Mr. Spock:
A capability I'm afraid out of the reach of most humans.

Doctor McCoy:
You Vulcans are the most impossible, unimaginative...

Captain James T. Kirk:
Bones, that's not helping the situation.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Are you hurt?

Doctor McCoy:
No, just surprised. It isn't every day a dinosaur falls on ya.

Doctor McCoy:
My shoes are full of sand.

Mr. Spock:
Doctor, your lack of scientific interest is amazing.

Captain James T. Kirk:
A forcefield. It seems harmless enough.

Doctor McCoy:
So do the bars of a jail unless you're on the inside.

Captain James T. Kirk:
And we are definitely on the inside.

Mr. Spock:
They appear to be as advanced beyond Earth civilization as you are from a colony of ants.

Agmar:
There is a weapons deactivator in effect here. Your destructive machines will have no effect.

Lieutenant Sulu:
I hope these things work.

Commander Spock:
May I suggest a more constructive way?

Lieutenant Uhura:
All power sources locked in, Mr. Scott.

Scotty:
Then throw the switch, Lieutenant.

[Spock conducts a Vulcan mind-meld]

Commander Spock:
My mind to your mind. My thoughts to your thoughts.

Scotty:
Oh, the equipment's guaranteed, but I have my doubts about the stuff inside.

Commander Spock:
Infinite diversity in infinite combinations... symbolizing the elements that create truth and beauty.

Scotty:
My engineers are working on it now, sir. You'll have it within the hour.

Lieutenant Uhura:
I have the information now, sir. I'll put it on the main screen.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Kirk to Enterprise. Beam us up, Scotty.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Captain's log: Stardate 5554.4. The Enterprise has been ordered to a new planet recently discovered at the periphery of the galaxy.

Captain James T. Kirk:
What is that thing?

Lt. Hikaru Sulu:
It's a mobile plant. When it stops, it's roots bore back into the ground. They're all over the place. I think it likes me.

Captain James T. Kirk:
We always encourage our officers to make friends with the natives.

Doctor McCoy:
Now just a minute. I can't let you, whatever you are, inject him with some alien... dewdrop!

Mr. Spock:
Readings indicate the beings used almost 70% of their brains. A very high ratio.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Bones?

Doctor McCoy:
One of my great, great granddaddies way back had the finest garden in the South. Had to scramble around a little bit to find the materials, but I've got his recipe brewing now.

Agmar:
But come, you are worried about your friend. I will show you he is safe and in good hands. [turns to lead the way]

Lt. Hikaru Sulu:
Just like that, captain?

Captain James T. Kirk:
So it would seem, Mr. Sule. All the same, keep that bag handy...

Keniclius 5:
Behold, gentlemen. The dawning of a new era, the salvation of a galaxy: Spock 2!

Doctor McCoy:
Well how about that? Great Granddady's weed spray still works.

Mr. Spock:
I would suggest Dr. Keniclius remain on Phylos with my duplicate. The concidered efforts of both scientists may yet achieve a rebirth of the Phylosian civilisation and enable them to contribute to the Federation.

Spock II:
My thoughts exactly, Mr. Spock.

Mr. Spock:
So one might assume, Mr. Spock.

Captain James T. Kirk:
By the way, Mr. Sulu, any chance of teaching me that body throw? Could come in handy some time.

Lt. Hikaru Sulu:
I don't know, sir. It isn't just physical, you know. You have to be inscrutable.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Inscrutable? Sulu, you're the most scrutable man I know!

EM-3-Green:
We'll all die here.

Mr. Spock:
A statistical probability.

Lara:
You ever quote anything besides statistics, Vulcan?

Mr. Spock:
Yes. But philosophy and poetry are not appropriate here.

Captain James T. Kirk:
[narrating] Captain's log: Stardate 5683.1. We're making a rendezvous with the Vedala asteroid on a unique mission. The Vedala are the oldest space-faring race we know. They say something incredibly dangerous to the safety of our galaxy is developing and they have sent for selected specialists including Spock and myself.

Lara:
Vulcans. Never liked them much myself. Cold blooded critters, all of them.

Captain James T. Kirk:
I wouldn't say that. Mr. Spock is a unique personality.

EM-3-Green:
I was sentenced to this mad expedition. My people are cautious, what you would call cowards.

Captain James T. Kirk:
We're tired, sore, hurt and angry. But we're also just about there.

Lara:
I'd tell you true, I find you an attractive man. If we were... together, the trip'd be easier. And if anything happened, why... we'd have some green memories.

Captain James T. Kirk:
I already have... a lot of green memories.

Lara:
Char, in the name of the seven gods, why?

Captain James T. Kirk:
Beam us up, Scotty.

Theela:
I am Theela, the head female. Welcome, James Kirk, Dr. McCoy, Mr. Spock, welcome.

Mr. Spock:
The form is humanoid, but there are many internal differences. Their bodies appear to function in an unusual psychokinetic level.

Doctor McCoy:
First time I ever admired a body function.

Theela:
Take them to the slumber chambers. They must rest.

Doctor McCoy:
Probably that nectar. It's potent as Saurian brandy.

Nurse Christine Chapel:
What are you doing?

Lt. Uhura:
Taking command of this ship.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Spock, can the transporter be programmed to re-pattern us as we were?

Mr. Spock:
Possibly. But the odds against us are 99.7 to 1.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Did it work?

Lt. Uhura:
You're more handsome than ever.

Commander Spock:
Apparently, the natural laws of our universe don't operate here, Captain.

Commander Spock:
My readings indicate we are not in Time and Space as we understand it.

Scotty:
Captain, there's no reason for it but the engines are fading out.

Scotty:
Captain, I don't know how much more emergency power we can take before we start to break up.

Dr. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy:
Jim, Spock, what in the name of sanity is going on?

Commander Spock:
I find this scientifically fascinating.

Doctor McCoy:
At least I have the good sense to be scared, Jim.

Lucien:
Rhadamanthus!

Captain James T. Kirk:
Who are you?

Lucien:
Call me Lucien! Call me friend! Never could I abandon those who come to rollick with me.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Lucien, do something.

Lucien:
Very well, captain. I'd forgotten how much bodily integrity means to you humans.

Doctor McCoy:
You think Lucien really was the demon some men call Lucifer?

Captain James T. Kirk:
Does it really matter, Bones?

Mr. Spock:
It just might, captain. If he was, this would be the second time Lucifer was cast out. And thanks to you, the first time he was saved.

Dr. McCoy:
Jim, choriocytosis is a strange disease. In races with iron-based blood, it's practically nothing, but in others...

Capt. Kirk:
[interrupting] Get to the point, Bones.

Dr. McCoy:
Spock has contracted the disease. It's fatal to Vulcans.

Capt. Kirk:
It will hurt seeing him like that.

Dr. McCoy:
I know. As much as it might seem at times that I can't stand that pointy-eared encyclopaedia, I don't wanna see that happen to him.

Dr. McCoy:
[about to give an injection] This won't hurt a bit, Spock.

Mr. Spock:
An unnecessary assurance, doctor, in addition to being untrue.

Dr. McCoy:
That's the last time I waste my bedside manner on a Vulcan. [gives him the injection]

Mr. Spock:
Such restraint would be welcome.

Dr. McCoy:
Blasted Vulcan! Why couldn't you have red blood like any normal human?

Capt. Kirk:
Am I interrupting something?

Mr. Spock:
Nothing but Dr. McCoy's gloating.

Dr. McCoy:
Spock, that green blood of yours may have saved you before, but this time it almost did you in. You can't deny it.

Mr. Spock:
I still prefer my physiological structure to yours.

Capt. Kirk:
Yes, gentlemen, things are back to normal.

Scott:
Hold together little darling, hold together.

Capt. Kirk:
Reduce speed to sub-warp cruise, we'll lay by here for repairs.

Uhura:
After that ride, I could use some repairs.

Scott:
Somebody turn of this infernal food factory!

Dr. McCoy:
Lieutenant Uhura, I have to hand it to you. This is just what the doctor would have ordered.

Capt. Kirk:
When you all finish laughing, I'd appreciate an explanation.

Mr. Spock:
Captain, I never laugh.

Capt. Kirk:
We've got serious trouble with the main computer. We have reason to believe it's kidnapped three of our crew.

Scott:
[on viewscreen] Kidnapped? Blue blazes!

Dr. McCoy:
When I get my hands on the clown who's behind all this, I'll put him in sickbay for a week!

Main Computer:
Temper, temper!

Main Computer:
Say pretty please with sugar on.

Scott:
You bloody big scatterbrain! Make up your monumental mind!

Scott:
We're giving it a mighty go with the crowbars though!

Capt. Kirk:
Alright, this whole thing has gone far enough!

Arex:
Sir?

Capt. Kirk:
I've just picked up my clean uniforms from the service chute, and when I put this one on, I discovered this! [turns around and reveals that the words "KIRK IS A JERK" are written on the back of his uniform. The main computer laughs] When you've all finished laughing, I'd appreciate an explanation.

Mr. Spock:
Captain, I never laugh.

Mr. Spock:
First Officer's Log: Stardate 4187.3. The Enterprise shuttlecraft Copernicus is en route to Starbase 25 with an important cargo, a Slaver stasis box discovered by archaeologists on the planet Kzin. These stasis boxes are the most remarkable thing the Slavers ever produced - time stands still inside a stasis box. A billion years means nothing in there."

Lt. Hikaru Sulu:
Mr. Spock, if it takes a stasis box to find another stasis box, how did anyone ever find the first one?

Mr. Spock:
As with a number of discoveries, purely by accident, lieutenant.

Mr. Spock:
Lieutenant Uhura, this may be crucial. In the presence of the Kzinti, do not say anything. Do not do anything startling. Try to look harmless.

Lt. Uhura:
Any special reason?

Mr. Spock:
Are you forgetting Kzinti females are dumb animals? In an emergency, the Kzinti may forget a human female is an intelligent creature.

Lt. Uhura:
Thanks. Thanks a lot!

Mr. Spock:
Lieutenant, I value your intelligence, but we may be able to seize an opportunity to escape if the Kzinti believe you have none.

Lt. Hikaru Sulu:
Nice try.

Lt. Uhura:
I'm slowing down. I used to run the 100 in record time.

Mr. Spock:
First Officer's Log: Supplemental. The Kzinti now possess a weapon potentially deadly to the entire galaxy. The extent of its power remains to be seen.

Doctor McCoy:
[surprised to see the captured shape-shifter escorted by a guard] You caught him.

Mr. Spock:
Acute observation, Doctor.

Doctor McCoy:
I'm glad to see him under guard, Jim. If he'd turned into a second Spock, it would have been too much to take.

Mr. Spock:
Perhaps. But then two Dr. McCoys just might bring the level of medical efficiency on this ship up to acceptable levels.

Doctor McCoy:
Spock, of all the cold blooded, inhospitable requests I've ever heard!

Mr. Spock:
Doctor, you are a man of curious habits, but I have never known you to take a nap on the laboratory floor.

Doctor McCoy:
And you say I'm a man of curious habits? Jim's talking to a table.

Romulan Commander:
[on viewscreen] I assume you are now ready to turn your ship over to us, captain?

Captain James T. Kirk:
Wrong assumption, commander.

Scotty:
What manner of beastie is that?

Mr. Spock:
Your deflector shield, Mr. Scott.

Doctor McCoy:
Jim, you don't mean you're going to abandon the mapping mission to check out some meaningless signal?

Captain James T. Kirk:
Meaningless at the moment, Bones, but it was sent twice. Odd against that occuring in a totally random transmission are too high to ignore.

Scotty:
Engineering. No casualties, captain, but trouble aplenty with the engines. Every dilithium crystal connection smashed in the warp engine circuitry. We're trying to bypass them now.

Captain James T. Kirk:
What about main circuits?

Scotty:
Well you have ta see it to believe it, sir. Those big crystals in there have come apart. Each of them, unpeeling like the rind of an orange.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Spock, are you slumping?

Mr. Spock:
I have never slumped in my life, captain. but I was about to ask you the same - [Spock is interrupted by the intercom]

Lt. Uhura:
Captain, the most incredible thing is happening.

Captain James T. Kirk:
We know. The whole ship has apparently expanded.

Mr. Spock:
An equally good possibility is that ship's personnel have contracted. And maybe continuing to shrink.

Mr. Spock:
Miss Chapel, what is the composition of this decoration?

Nurse Christine Chapel:
Well it was made for me by the Titanium smiths of Libra, but... it was an arm bracelet. More like a necklace now.

Mr. Spock:
Yet the uniform on which you wear it fits as well as ever. Uniform made of algae based xenulon, I believe."

Doctor McCoy:
Aren't all our uniforms xenulon?

Captain James T. Kirk:
Yes. And they've all been shrinking proportionally with us.

Captain James T. Kirk:
[narrating] Captain's log, stardate 5577.7 we will lose effective control of this vessel at the point when we have become approximately one centimeter tall. At the present rate, we will reach this less than fingernail length in 32 minutes.

Captain James T. Kirk:
[Bones is using a miniature laser to heal Sulu's broken leg] How is it, Sulu?

Lt. Hikaru Sulu:
I can feel it knitting, sir.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Spock, who are the Terratins, where did they come from?

Mr. Spock:
[on viewscreen from Terratin] Descendents of an early lost colony, which is why they retain some knowledge of starship methods, such as transporter mechanisms. These Earth colonists named and numbered this planet Terra Ten, hence the present corruption of their name.

Captain James T. Kirk:
[gazing at the Terratin city through a macroscope] Mendant, we welcome your people aboard the Enterprise.

Mendant:
Captain Kirk, we welcome your eye upon our city.

Mendant:
People of the Enterprise, we have no way to pay the debt we owe. But this at least comes from a meeting of all our numbers: we name you honorary Terratins now and for all time to come.

Mr. Spock:
We came rather close to making it more than honorary.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Yes. I'd say just about a sixteenth of an inch close.

Mr. Spock:
Captain's Log: Supplemental, First Officer Spock recording. We appear to be in an alternate universe. Position undetermined. Captain Kirk has been transported from the ship by an unknown power. His present location, also, is undetermined.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Are we in an alternate universe?

Devna:
It is more aptly described as a pocket in the garment of time.

Xerius:
This small universe of ours is a curious trap. Time passes here, but very slowly. A century means nothing to us. Our council appears young yet all are centuries old.

Captain James T. Kirk:
Got any miracles in your computer, Spock?"

Captain James T. Kirk:
Elysia is, in many respects, a perfect society. But with all its virtues, it is not home. And home, with all its faults, is where we prefer to be.

Bates:
There is no Vulcan named Spock serving with the Star Fleet in any capacity.

Mr. Spock:
[after further discussion] What of Sarek's family: his wife and son?

Bates:
[as Amanda's picture appears] Amanda, wife of Sarek. Born on Earth as Amanda Grayson. The couple separated after the death of their son. The wife was killed in a shuttle accident at Lunaport on her way home to Earth. Ambassador Sarek has not remarried.

Mr. Spock:
My mother. The son... what was his name and age when he died?

Bates:
Spock, age seven.

Commander Thelin:
This change in the time-line will put you in my place, yet I am not aggrieved.

Mr. Spock:
Andorians are not known for their charity.

Commander Thelin:
True. A warrior race has few sympathies, but one we do possess is for family. In your time-plane, you will live, and so will your mother. That is valuable. [Gives Vulcan hand gesture] Live long and prosper in your world, Commander Spock.

Mr. Spock:
[Returning Vulcan hand gesture] And you in yours, Commander Thelin.

Mr. Spock:
A Vulcan would face such a loss without tears.

Young Spock:
How?

Mr. Spock:
By understanding every life comes to an end when time demands it. Loss of life is to be mourned, but only if the life was wasted.

Young Spock:
There was a decision to be made: a direction for my life had to be chosen. I chose Vulcan.

Amanda Grayson:
[closes her eyes, realizing that her son's human half will be minimized]

Sarek:
It is good, then. You have comported yourself with honor.

Sarek:
You saved my son's life, Selek. There is no way I can fully repay you for that.

Mr. Spock:
[as Selek] Try to understand your son, Sarek of Vulcan. It will be repayment enough for me.

Sarek:
A strange request, but I will honor it.

Captain James T. Kirk:
What a trip, Bones!

Young Spock:
Do you think I'll ever be able to do that neck pinch as well as you?

Mr. Spock:
I dare say you will.

Mr. Spock:
[comforting I-Chaya, his pet sehlat] This did not happen before. My life decision was made without the sacrifice of yours, old friend. I know this is painful. I can help a little. Sleep now.

Young Spock:
If you will excuse me now, I have some business to conduct with schoolmates.

Sarek:
Business?

Young Spock:
A demonstration of the Vulcan neck pinch. Our cousin taught me.

Doctor McCoy:
If that was supposed to be a joke, Spock, I have to remind you Vulcans don't tell jokes.

Mr. Spock:
Times change, Doctor. Times change.
