[edit] Season 1
[edit] The Man Trap
- James T. Kirk: I don't like mysteries. They give me a bellyache and I got a beauty right now.
[edit] Charlie X
- Charlie Evans: It wasn't very well-constructed.
- Charlie Evans: You know about being with somebody? Wanting to be.... If I had the whole universe... ...I'd give it to you. When I see you, I... I feel like I'm hungry... all over. Hungry. Do you know how that feels?
- James T. Kirk: You go slow. You, uh... You be gentle. I mean, it's... it's not a one-way street, you know-- how you feel and that's all. It's how the girl feels, too. Don't press, Charlie. If the girl feels... anything for you at all, you'll know it.
- Charlie Evans: I'll make them go away, too.
- Charlie Evans: Well, they weren't nice to me!
- Charlie Evans: I loved her... but she wasn't nice at all.
[edit] Where No Man Has Gone Before
- Spock: The Valiant had encountered a magnetic space storm and was being swept in this direction.
- Gary Mitchell: The first thing I ever heard from an upperclassman was: "Watch out for Lieutenant Kirk. In his class, you either think or sink."
- Dr. Elizabeth Dehner: Women professionals do tend to overcompensate.
- James T. Kirk: Did you hear him joke about compassion? Above all else, a god needs compassion!
- James T. Kirk: Be it noted she gave her life in performance of her duty.
[edit] The Naked Time
- Montgomery Scott: I canna' change the laws of physics. I've got to have thirty minutes.
- Sulu: (Shirtless, with an european fencing sword, having just jumped out in front of Uhura) Hello, fair maiden!
- Uhura: Sorry, neither.
[edit] The Enemy Within
- Evil Kirk: [to Yeoman Rand] You're too beautiful to ignore.
- Evil Kirk: I want to live!!
[edit] Mudd's Women
- Harry Mudd: Men will always be men — no matter where they are.
- Eve McHuron: Oh, that sound of male ego. You travel halfway across the galaxy and it's still the same song.
- Kirk: There's only one kind of woman ...
- Harry Mudd: Or man, for that matter.
- Kirk: You either believe in yourself or you don't.
- Spock: The fact that my internal arrangement differs from yours, Doctor, pleases me to no end.
[edit] What Are Little Girls Made Of?
- Dr. Roger Corby: Can you imagine how life could be improved if we could do away with jealousy, greed, hate ...
- Kirk: It can also be improved by eliminating love, tenderness, sentiment — the other side of the coin
[edit] Miri
- Kirk: No blah, blah, blah!
Children: boom! bonk on the head
[edit] Dagger of the Mind
- Kirk: One of the advantages of being a captain is being able to ask for advice without necessarily having to take it.
- Spock: Where there's no emotion, there's no motive for violence.
- Spock: You Earth people glorified organized violence for forty centuries. But you imprison those who employ it privately.
[edit] The Corbomite Maneuver
- Lt. Bailey: We have phasers, I vote we blast 'em!
- Capt. Kirk: Thank you, Mr. Bailey, I'll consider that when this becomes a democracy.
- Capt. Kirk: Aren't you the one who always says a little suffering is good for the soul?
- Dr. McCoy: I never say that.
- Capt. Kirk: I've already got a female to worry about. Her name is the Enterprise.
- Capt. Kirk: Not Chess Spock, Poker!
Yeoman Rand: I just used a hand phaser, and presto: hot coffee!
[edit] The Menagerie, Parts 1-2
- Dr. Phillip Boyce: A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away.
- Dr. Boyce: We [Doctors and Bartenders] both get the same two kinds of customers: the living and the dying.
- Dr. Boyce: Sometimes a man will tell his bartender things he'll never tell his doctor.
- Capt. Pike: There's a way out of any cage.
- Vina: When dreams become more important than reality, you give up travel, building, creating; you even forget how to repair the machines left behind by your ancestors. You just sit living and reliving other lives left behind in the thought records.
- McCoy: Blast medicine anyway! We've learned to tie into every organ in the human body but one. The brain! The brain is what life is all about.
- Kirk: A Vulcan can no sooner be disloyal than he can exist without breathing.
[edit] The Conscience of the King
- Kirk: Worlds may change, galaxies disintegrate, but a woman always remains a woman.
- Kodos: I am tired! ... The past ... is a blank.
- Kirk: Those beautiful words, well acted, change nothing.
- Kirk: There's a phaser on overload in my quarters. If it blows, it'll take out half the section. DOUBLE RED ALERT!!
[edit] Balance of Terror
- Romulan Commander: Another war ... must it always be so? How many comrades have we lost in this way? ... Obedience. Duty. Death, and more death ... Soon enough for even the praetor's taste.
- Romulan Commander: Danger and I are old companions.
- Romulan Commander: First study the enemy. Seek weakness.
- The Centurion: Power is danger.
- McCoy: Something I seldom say to a customer, Jim. In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that and perhaps more, only one of each of us. Don't destroy the one named Kirk.
- McCoy: War is never imperative.
- Kirk: Leave bigotry in your quarters; there's no room for it on the bridge.
[edit] Shore Leave
- McCoy: A princess should not be afraid — not with a brave knight to protect her.
- Spock: On my planet, to rest is to rest — to cease using energy. To me, it is quite illogical to run up and down on green grass, using energy, instead of saving it.
- Kirk: The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.
- Kirk: I do [believe you]! I've met some interesting characters myself!
- Finnegan: Hey there Jimmy boy! I'm waitin for ya!
[edit] The Galileo Seven
- McCoy: Life and death are seldom logical.
- Spock: But attaining a desired goal always is.
- McCoy: Respect is a rational process. Didn't it ever occur to you that they might react emotionally...with anger?
- Spock: Doctor, I am not responsible for their unpredictability.
- McCoy: They were perfectly predictable, to anyone with feeling.
- Spock: I realize that command does have its fascination, even under circumstances such as these, but I neither enjoy the idea of command nor am I frightened of it. It simply exists, and I will do whatever logically needs to be done.
- Spock: I'm frequently appalled by the low regard you Earthmen have for life.
- Spock: It is more rational to sacrifice one life than six.
- Spock: There are always alternatives.
- Spock: Totally illogical, there was no chance.
- Kirk: Now, Mr. Spock, there's really something about all this that I don't understand, so maybe you could explain it to me, logically of course... Now, when you jettisoned the fuel, and ignited it, you knew that there was virtually no chance of it being seen and yet you did it anyway. Now that seems to me like an act of desperation.
- Spock: Quite correct, Captain.
- Kirk: Now we all know, and I'm sure the doctor would agree with me, that desperation is a highly emotional state of mind. So how does your well known logic explain that?
- Spock: Quite simply, Captain, I examined the problem from all angles, and it was plainly hopeless. Logic informed me that, under the circumstances, the only possible action would have to be one of desperation. Logical decision, logically arrived at.
- Kirk: Ah, I see. You mean you reasoned that it was time for an emotional outburst.
- Spock: Well, I wouldn't put it in exactly those terms, Captain, but those are essentially the facts.
- Kirk: sighs. You aren't going to admit that for the first time in your life, you committed a purely human, emotional act?
- Spock: No, sir.
- Kirk: laughs. Mr. Spock, you are a stubborn man.
- Spock: Yes, sir.
[edit] The Squire of Gothos
- Spock: 'Fascinating' is a word I use for the unexpected.
- Spock: I object to intellect without discipline; I object to power without constructive purpose.
- Kirk: Our missions are peaceful — not for conquest. When we do battle, it is only because we have no choice.
[edit] Arena
- The Gorn: Schshschshchsch.
- The Gorn: I will be merciful and quick.
[edit] Tomorrow is Yesterday
- Leonard McCoy: (of John Christopher) But maybe he could be retrained, reeducated.
- James T. Kirk: Now you're sounding like Spock.
- Leonard McCoy: If you're going to get nasty, I'm going to leave.
- John Christopher: I never did believe in little green men...
- Mr. Spock: [standing up - he had been seated] Neither have I.
- James T. Kirk: Yes, I'm all right, but as you can see, we have another problem.
[edit] Court Martial
- Samuel T. Cogley: This is where the law is. Not in that homogenized, synthesized...Do you want to know the law? The ancient concepts in their own language? Learn the intent of the men who wrote them? From Moses to the tribunal on Alpha III? Books.
- Spock: It is impossible for Captain Kirk to act out of panic or malice. It is not his nature.
[edit] The Return of the Archons
- A Beta 3-oid: Landru! Guide us!
- Kirk: Without freedom of choice there is no creativity.
- Kirk: (to Landru) You are the evil! The evil must be destroyed!
- Kirk: You'd make a splendid computer, Mr Spock.
- Spock: That is very kind of you, Captain!
[edit] Space Seed
- Khan: I should have realized that ...suffocating together ... would create heroic camaraderie.
- Khan: You are an excellent tactician, Captain. You let your second in command attack while you sit and watch for weakness.
- Spock: Insufficient facts always invite danger.
- Spock: Superior ability breeds superior ambition.
- Spock:The mid-1990s was the era of your last so-called World War.
- Kirk: If I can have honesty, it's easier to overlook mistakes.
- Leonard McCoy: I signed on this ship to practice medicine, not to have my atoms scattered back and forth across space by this gadget.
- Kirk: You're an old-fashioned boy, McCoy.
- McCoy: (Khan has grabbed McCoy by throat and is holding a knife on him) Well, either choke me or cut my throat. Make up your mind.
- Khan: Where am I?
- McCoy: You're in bed, holding a knife at your doctor's throat.
- Khan: Answer my question!
- McCoy: It would be most effective if you would cut the carotid artery, just under the left ear.
- Khan: I like a brave man.
[edit] A Taste of Armageddon
- Scotty: Diplomats! The best diplomat I know is a fully activated phaser bank.
- [Eminiar VII High Council Leader Anan 7 describes the horrors of the impending war to Kirk.]
- Anan 7: You can stop it!
- Kirk: Stop it? I'm counting on it!
- Spock: Sir, there is a multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder.
- Kirk: Actual war is a very messy business. Very, very messy business.
- Kirk: Death. Destruction. Disease. Horror. That's what war is all about. That's what makes it a thing to be avoided.
- Kirk: Sometimes a feeling is all we humans have to go on.
- Kirk: [War] is instinctive. But the instinct can be fought. We're human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands! But we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers ... but we're not going to kill today. That's all it takes! Knowing that we're not going to kill - today!
- Spock: Captain, you almost make me believe in luck.
- Kirk: Why, Mr Spock! You almost make me believe in miracles!
[edit] This Side of Paradise
- Spock: Emotions are alien to me. I'm a scientist.
- Spock: I have never understood the female capacity to avoid a direct answer to any question.
- Spock: I am what I am Leila, and if there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them.
- Kirk: Another dream that failed. There's nothing sadder.
- Kirk: Get back to your station.
- Lt. Leslie: No sir.
- Kirk: This is mutiny, mister!
- Lt. Leslie: Yes sir, it is.
- McCoy: We'll...that's the second time man's been thrown out of paradise.
- Kirk: Oh no, this time he walked out of his own accord. Perhaps man wasn't meant for paradise. Maybe he was meant to claw, to scratch all the way.
- Elias Sandoval: I am the leader of this colony. I will assign you to whichever work I choose
- McCoy: Wait - maybe you should make me a mechanic, then I can treat little tin gods like you.
[edit] The Devil in the Dark
- McCoy: I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day!
- The Horta (through Spock): PAIN!
- Kirk: Either one of us, by himself, is expendable. Both of us are not.
- The Horta (Etched on the wall): NO KILL I
- Spock: The Horta has a very logical mind and after close association with humans, I find that curiously refreshing.
- Kirk: I suspect you're becoming more and more human all the time.
- Spock: Captain, I see no reason to stand here and be insulted.
- McCoy: I'm a doctor not a bricklayer! That thing is practically made out of stone!
[edit] Errand of Mercy
- Commander Kor: If some day we are defeated, well, war has its fortunes, good and bad.
- Kor: You speak of courage. Obviously you do not know the difference between courage and foolhardiness. Always it is the brave ones who die, the soldiers.
- Kirk: I'm a soldier, not a diplomat. I can only tell the truth.
- Kirk: Another Armenia, Belgium ... the weak innocents who always seem to be located on a natural invasion route.
- Kirk: No one wants war.
- Kirk: Now, Mr.Spock and I are going to go out there ... and quite probably die. In an attempt to show you ... that there are some things ... worth dying for.
- Kirk: I'm embarrassed, Spock. I was furious with the Organians for stopping a war I didn't want.
[edit] The Alternative Factor
- Spock: Madness has no purpose. Or reason. But it may have a goal.
- Kirk: Like Lazarus. Identical, yet both Lazarus. Except one is matter and the other antimatter. If they meet...
- Spock: Annihilation Jim. Total, complete, absolute annihilation.
[edit] The City on the Edge of Forever
- James T. Kirk: My friend is obviously Chinese. I see you've noticed the ears. They're actually easy to explain.
- Spock: Perhaps the unfortunate accident I had as a child.
- James T. Kirk: ...The unfortunate accident he had as a child. He caught his head in a mechanical... rice picker.
- Spock: There could be some logic to the belief that time is fluid... like a river with currents, eddies, backwash.
- Spock: In this zinc-plated, vacuum-tubed culture?
- James T. Kirk: We didn't mean to trespass. It's cold outside.
- Edith Keeler: A lie is a very poor way to say "Hello". It isn't that cold.
- Edith Keeler: One day soon, man is going to be able to harness incredible energies, maybe even the atom... energies that could ultimately hurl us to other worlds in... in some sort of spaceship. And the men that reach out into space will be able to find ways to feed the hungry millions of the world and to cure their diseases. They will be able to find a way to give each man hope and a common future. And those are the days worth living for. Our deserts will bloom...
- James T. Kirk: Development of atomic power is years away-- space flight years after that.
- Spock: Speculations. Rich visions.
James T. Kirk: I find her pretty special...
- Spock: Captain, you're asking me to work with equipment which is hardly very far ahead of stone knives and bearskins.
- Leonard McCoy: Murderers! Assassins! You, what planet is this? No! Don't run! I won't kill you! It's they who do the killing!
- Edith Keeler: I think that one day they're going to take all the money that they spend now on war and death...
- James T. Kirk: And make them spend it on life.
- James T. Kirk: But she was right! Peace was the way.
- Spock: She WAS correct. But not in the right time.
- Edith Keeler: Lots of people drink from the wrong bottle sometimes.
- Leonard McCoy: Not as wrong as the bottle I drank from.
- James T. Kirk: Stay right here. Spock! Stay right there!
- Spock: What is it?
- James T. Kirk: McCoy, he's in...
- Leonard McCoy: -Jim!
- James T. Kirk: -Bones! Bones!
- Spock: No, Jim!
- James T. Kirk: Edith...
- Leonard McCoy: You deliberately stopped me, Jim. I could have saved her. Do you know what you just did?!
- Spock: He knows, Doctor. He knows.
- Guardian: Time has resumed its shape. All is as it was before. Many such journeys are possible. Let me be your gateway.
- Uhura: Captain, the Enterprise is up there! They're asking if we want to beam up.
- James T. Kirk: Let's get the hell out of here.
- [Last lines.]
[edit] Operation: Annihilate!
- Spock: Pain is a thing of the mind. The mind can be controlled.
- Spock: I admire your curiosity Doctor, but I assure you I'm all right.
- McCoy: You may be controlling the pain, Mr.Spock... but you're far from all right.
[edit] Season 2
[edit] Amok Time
- Spock: It is undignified for a woman to play servant to a man who is not hers.
- Spock: Ms. Chapel.
- Christine Chapel: Yes, Mr. Spock?
- Spock: I had a most startling dream. You were trying to tell me something...but I couldn't hear you. [Chapel is crying] It would be illogical for us to protest against our natures, don't you think?
- Christine Chapel: I...don't understand.
- Spock: [Spock touches Chapel's cheek] Your face is wet.
- Christine Chapel: I came to tell you that we are bound for Vulcan. We'll be there in just a few days.
- Spock: Vulcan. [Chapel turns to leave] Ms. Chapel.
- Christine Chapel: My name is Christine.
- Spock: Yes, I know, Christine. Would you make me some of that plomeek soup?
- Christine Chapel: Oh, I'd be very happy to do that, Mr. Spock.
- Spock: Would you beam down to the planet's surface and stand with me? There is a brief ceremony.
- James T. Kirk: Is it permitted?
- Spock: It is my right. By tradition, the male is accompanied by his closest friends.
- James T. Kirk: Thank you, Mr. Spock.
- Spock: I also request Dr. McCoy accompany me.
- Leonard McCoy: I shall be honored, sir.
- Spock: Stonn. She is yours. After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.
- T'Pau: Live long and prosper, Spock.
- Spock: I shall do neither. I have killed my captain... and my friend.
[edit] Who Mourns for Adonais?
- Spock: Insults are effective only where emotion is present.
- Apollo: I am Apollo!
- Pavel Chekov: [sarcastically] And I am the czar of all the Russias!
- Kirk: Mr. Chekov ...
- Pavel Chekov: Sorry, captain, I never met a god before.
- Kirk: And you haven't yet.
- Apollo: Earth... mother of the most beautiful of women in the universe.
- Leonard McCoy: To coin a phrase-- fascinating.
- Kirk: Mankind has no need of gods...we find the one quite sufficient.
- Apollo: Hera was the first. She stood in front of the temple and spread herself upon the wind.
- Lt. Carolyn Palamas: A father doesn't destroy his children.
- Apollo: There is an order of things in this universe.
- Kirk: Would it have hurt us, I wonder, just to have gathered a few laurel leaves?
[edit] The Changeling
- Leonard McCoy: He's dead, Jim.
[edit] Mirror, Mirror
- Leonard McCoy: I'm a doctor, not an engineer.
- James T. Kirk: Conquest is easy. Control is not.
- Alternate James T. Kirk: What do you want? Money, power?
- Spock: Fascinating.
- James T. Kirk: In every revolution, there's one man with a vision.
- Alternate Spock: One man cannot summon the future.
- James T. Kirk: But one man can change the present.
- Spock: (Explaining to Kirk how the mirror versions were so quickly spotted) It was far easier for you as civilized men to behave like barbarians than it was for them as barbarians to behave like civilized men.
[edit] The Apple
- James T. Kirk: And you'll learn something about men and women-- the way they're supposed to be. Caring for each other, being happy with each other, being good to each other. That's what we call... love. You'll like that, too, a lot.
- James T. Kirk: Is there anyone on this ship, who even remotely looks like Satan?
- Spock: I am not aware of anyone who fits that description, Captain.
- James T. Kirk: No, Mr. Spock. I didn't think you would be.
[edit] The Doomsday Machine
- Montgomery Scott: I checked the engines. The warp drive, that's a hopeless pile of junk.
- Matt Decker: [describing the planet killer] Right out of hell! I saw it!
- James T. Kirk: Matt, where's your crew?
- Matt Decker: On the third planet.
- James T. Kirk: There is no third planet.
- Matt Decker: Don't you think I know that? There was, but not anymore!
- Leonard McCoy: I'm a doctor, not a mechanic.
- Spock: Random chance seems to have operated in our favor.
- Leonard McCoy: In plain, non-Vulcan English, we've been lucky.
- Spock: I believe I said that, Doctor.
- Montgomery Scott: If I push these impulse engines too hard in the condition they're in they'll blow apart!
- James T. Kirk: Scotty, you've just earned your pay for the week.
- James T. Kirk: Mr. Scott, it worked. Great. [the planet killer turns on the Constellation] I think it's great. Scotty, get us out of here.
- Spock: Vulcans never bluff.
- James T. Kirk: Nobody expects you to die for an error in judgement!
- Montgomery Scott: 30 seconds later-- poof!
- James T. Kirk: Gentlemen, I suggest you beam me aboard.
[edit] Catspaw
- Lt. DeSalle: But it's there... and it's real. If it's real, it can be affected. Engineering, stand by to divert all power systems to the outer hull. Prepare impulse engines for generation of maximum heat, directed as ordered. Maybe we can't break it, but I'll bet you credits to navy beans we can put a dent in it.
- James T. Kirk: A woman... should have compassion.
[edit] I, Mudd
- Leonard McCoy: You can't evaluate a man by logic alone.
- Harry Mudd: Knowledge, sir, should be free to all!
- Harry Mudd: Do you know what the penalty for fraud is on Deneb V?
- Spock: The guilty party has his choice-- death by electrocution, death by gas, death by phaser, death by hanging...
- Harry Mudd: The key word in your entire peroration, Mr. Spock, was... death.
- Harry Mudd: Spock, you're going to love it here. They all talk just the way you do.
- Harry Mudd: Behind every great man, there is a woman urging him on.
- Alice #1: It is necessary to have purpose.
- James T. Kirk: Next, we take the Alices on a trip through Wonderland.
- Spock: [pointing to Alice #27] I love you. [looking to Alice #210] However, I hate you.
- Alice #210: But I am identical in every way with Alice 27.
- Spock: Yes, of course. That is exactly why I hate you--
- Spock: Logic is a little tweeting bird, chirping in a meadow. Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell bad.
- Harry Mudd: I am lying.
- Norman: You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie, then you are telling the truth. But you cannot tell the truth, because everything you say is a lie. But... you lie... you tell the truth but you cannot, for you lie.
[edit] Metamorphosis
- Zefram Cochrane: Immortality consists largely of boredom.
- James T. Kirk: Not 100 percent efficient, of course, but nothing ever is.
- James T. Kirk: The idea of male and female are universal constants.
- Leonard McCoy: There's nothing disgusting about it [the Companion]. It's just another life form, that's all. You get used to those things.
- Spock: Fascinating. A totally parochial attitude.
- Commissioner Nancy Hedford: What kind of life is that? Not to be loved. Never... to have shown love.
- James T. Kirk: Love sometimes expresses itself in sacrifice.
- James T. Kirk: We're on over a thousand worlds and spreading out. Life is everywhere.
[edit] Journey to Babel
- Amanda Grayson: After all these years among humans, you still haven't learned to smile.
- Spock: Humans smile with so little provocation.
- Amanda Grayson: Vulcans believe that peace should not depend on force.
- Spock: Vulcans do not approve of violence.
- Spock: It would be illogical to kill without reason.
- Spock: It [being a Vulcan] means to adopt a philosophy, a way of life, which is logical and beneficial. We cannot disregard that philosophy merely for personal gain, no matter how important that gain might be.
- Sarek: One does not thank logic.
- [Sarek and Spock discuss Amanda.]
- Spock: Emotional, isn't she?
- Sarek: She has always been that way.
- Spock: Indeed? Why did you marry her?
- Sarek: At the time, it seemed the logical thing to do.
- Leonard McCoy: Well, what do you know? I finally got the last word.
- [Last line.]
[edit] Friday's Child
- Kras: The sight of death frightens them [Humans].
- Kras: We Klingons believe as you do. The sick should die. Only the strong should live.
- Eleen: To live... is always desirable.
- Leonard McCoy: I'm a doctor, not an escalator
- Montgomery Scott: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
- Spock: Virtue is a relative term.
- Leonard McCoy: Oochy-woochy-koochy-coo.
- Spock: "Oochy wootchy koochy coo," Captain?
- James T. Kirk: An obscure Earth dialect.
[edit] The Deadly Years
- Dr. Janet Wallace: No problem is insoluble.
- Dr. Janet Wallace: The heart is not a logical organ.
- Chekov: 'Give us some more blood, Chekov.' 'A little won't hurt, Chekov.' 'Take off your shirt, Chekov.' 'Roll over, Chekov.' 'Breathe deeply, Chekov.' 'Blood sample, Chekov.' 'Marrow sample, Chekov.' 'Skin sample, Chekov.' IF...if I live long enough, I'm going to run out of samples!
- Sulu: You'll live.
- Chekov: Oh yes, I'll live, but I won't enjoy it!
- Leonard McCoy: I'm not a magician, Spock, just an old country doctor.
[edit] Obsession
- James T. Kirk: Intuition, however illogical, Mr. Spock, is recognized as a command prerogative.
- Leonard McCoy: I'll bet he [Spock] left a bad taste in the creature's mouth, too.
- Montgomery Scott:Thank heaven!
- Spock: Mr Scott, there was no deity involved. It was my cross-circuiting that recovered them.
- Leonard McCoy: Then thank pitchforks and pointed ears.
[edit] Wolf in the Fold
- Leonard McCoy: [He's/She's] dead, Jim.
- Spock: In the strict scientific sense, Doctor, we all feed on death, even vegetarians.
- Spock: Women are more easily and more deeply terrified, generating more sheer horror than the male of the species.
- Spock: Computer. This is a Class-A compulsory directive. Compute, to the last digit, the value of pi.
[edit] The Trouble With Tribbles
- James T. Kirk: Does everybody know about this wheat but me?
- Pavel Chekov: Well, not everyone, Captain. It's a Russian invention.
- James T. Kirk: Another technical journal, Scotty?
- Montgomery Scott: Aye.
- James T. Kirk: Don't you ever relax?
- Montgomery Scott: I am relaxing.
- Montgomery Scott:When are y'gonna get off that milk diet, lad?
- Pavel Chekov:This is vodka!
- Montgomery Scott: Where I come from, that's soda pop. Now, this is a drink for a man.
- Pavel Chekov: Scotch?
- Montgomery Scott: Aye.
- Pavel Chekov: It was invented by a little old lady from Leningrad!
- Korax: That sagging old rust bucket is designed like a garbage scow! Half the quadrant knows it; that's why they're trying to learn to speak Klingonese!
- Pavel Chekov: Mr. Scott!!
- Scotty: Laddie... don't you think you should... rephrase that?
- Korax: [Making fun of Scott's accent] Yerrrrright, ah shoooould. I didn't mean to say that the Enterprise should be hauling garbage. I meant to say that it should be hauled away as garbage.
- [Scotty smiles, then punches the Klingon in the face]
- Montgomery Scott: Well... well, the Klingons, uh... is this off the record?
- James T. Kirk: No, this is not off the record.
- Montgomery Scott: Well, Captain, the... Klingons called you a... a tin-plated, overbearing, swaggering dictator with delusions of godhood.
- James T. Kirk: Is that all?
- Montgomery Scott: No, sir, they also compared you with a Denebian Slime-Devil.
- James T. Kirk: I see.
- Montgomery Scott: And then they said that you were...
- James T. Kirk: [Upset] I get the picture, Scotty.
- Montgomery Scott: Yes, sir.
- James T. Kirk: And after they said all this, that's when you hit the Klingons?
- Montgomery Scott: No, sir.
- James T. Kirk: [Confused] No?
- Montgomery Scott: No, uh, I didn't. You told us to avoid trouble.
- James T. Kirk: Oh, Yes.
- Montgomery Scott: But I didn't see that it was worth fighting about. After all, we're big enough to take a few insults. Aren't we?
- James T. Kirk: [Even more confused] What was it they said that started the fight?
- Montgomery Scott: They called the Enterprise a garbage scow! Sir.
- James T. Kirk: I see. And... that's when you hit the Klingon.
- Montgomery Scott: [Obviously proud of himself] Yes, sir.
- James T. Kirk: You hit the Klingons because they insulted the Enterprise, not because they...
- Montgomery Scott: Well, sir, this was a matter of pride.
- James T. Kirk: All right, Scotty. Dismissed. Oh... Scotty, you're restricted to quarters until further notice.
- Montgomery Scott: Yes, sir. [Perks up] Thank you, sir. That'll give me a chance to catch up on my technical journals.
- Leonard McCoy: It is a human characteristic to love little animals, especially if they're attractive in some way.
- Spock: Doctor, I am well aware of human characteristics. I am frequently inundated by them, but I've trained myself to put up with anything.
- Leonard McCoy: I don't know much about these little tribbles yet, but there's one thing I've discovered.
- Spock: What is that, Doctor?
- Leonard McCoy: I like them ...better than I like you.
- Spock: They do have one redeeming characteristic.
- Leonard McCoy: What's that?
- Spock: They do not talk too much.
- Leonard McCoy: [about tribbles] They're born pregnant.
- James T. Kirk: Too much of anything, Lieutenant, even love, isn't necessarily a good thing.
- Nilz Baris: You have taken this entire very important project far too lightly.
- James T. Kirk: On the contrary, sir-- I think of this project as very important. It is you I take lightly.
- Nilz Baris: Kirk, there are Klingons swarming all over my station!
- James T. Kirk: I wasn't aware, Mr. Baris, that twelve Klingons constituted a swarm...!
- James T. Kirk: I heard you.
- Spock: He simply could not believe his ears.
- James T. Kirk: I want these things off the ship. I don't care if it takes every man we've got, I want them off the ship.
- James T. Kirk: I'd like a chicken sandwich and coffee ... [food dispenser malfunctions] ... this is my "chicken sandwich" and "coffee"!
- James T. Kirk: Who put the tribbles in the quadrotriticale?
- James T. Kirk: Yes, but until that board of inquiry, I'm still captain. And as captain, I want two things done; first – find Cyrano Jones, and second... close that door.
- James T. Kirk: [Happy to see no Tribbles in his command chair] I don't see any Tribbles around here.
- Leonard McCoy: And you won't find a Tribble on this entire ship, Jim.
- James T. Kirk: Bones, how'd you do that?
- Leonard McCoy: Well, I cannot take credit for another man's work. Scotty did it.
- James T. Kirk: Scotty! Where are the tribbles?
- Montgomery Scott: Oh, uh, Captain, it was really Mr. Spock's recommendation.
- James T. Kirk: Of course. Spock?
- Spock: Based on computer analysis, of course, taking into account the possibilities of...
- James T. Kirk: Gentlemen, I don't want to interrupt this mutual admiration society, but I'd like to know where the tribbles are.
- Leonard McCoy: Tell him, Spock.
- Spock: Well, it was Mr. Scott who performed the actual engineering.
- James T. Kirk: Mr. Scott. [Articulately] Where are the tribbles?
- Montgomery Scott: I used the transporter, Captain.
- James T. Kirk: [Confused] You used the transporter?
- Montgomery Scott: Aye.
- James T. Kirk: Well, where did you transport them?
- [Scotty looks around, and then everybody else looks elsewhere...]
- James T. Kirk: Scott, you didn't transport them into space, did you?
- Montgomery Scott: Captain Kirk, that'd be inhuman.
- James T. Kirk: Well, where are they?
- Montgomery Scott: I gave them a very good home, sir.
- James T. Kirk: [Furious] Where?!
- Montgomery Scott: I gave them to the Klingons, sir.
- James T. Kirk: [Incrediously] You gave them to the Klingons?!
- Montgomery Scott: Aye, sir. Before they went into warp, I transported the whole kit and caboodle into their engine room, where they'll be no tribble at all.
- [Last lines.]
[edit] The Gamesters of Triskelion
- Galt: Your old titles mean nothing here, Captain.
- [Possibly unintentional irony. Galt is informing Kirk that his title means nothing, but is addressing Kirk by his title in the same sentence.]
- Leonard McCoy:You're gona leave here without them, and run off on some wild goose chase halfway across the galaxy, just because you found a discrepancy in a hydrogen cloud?
- Spock: Doctor, I'm chasing the Captain, Lieutenant Uhura and ensign Chekov, not some wild aquatic foul.
- James T. Kirk: We have found... that all life-forms in the galaxy are capable of superior development.
- James T. Kirk: All your people must learn before you can reach for the stars.
[edit] A Piece of the Action
- Spock: Logic and practical information do not seem to apply here.
- Leonard McCoy: You admit that?
- Spock: To deny the facts would be illogical, Doctor.
- Kirk: Hold on, Spock. Out of the mouth of babes..
- Young street urchin: Who are you callin' a babe?
- Kirk: I'm callin' you a babe.
- Young street urchin: You callin' me a babe?
- Kirk: Yeah, I'm callin'- [Urchin produces a knife and holds it upto Kirk's face] I'm calling you a babe, but it's nothing personal.
- Montgomery Scott: You mind your place, mister, or you'll... you'll be wearing concrete galoshes!
- Jojo Krako: You mean cement overshoes?
- Montgomery Scott: [hesitantly] Aye.
- Montgomery Scott: Well, Krako, it looks like we put the bag on you!
- Kirk: Right Spocko?
- Spock: Affirmative, Captain.
- Kirk: Right, Spocko?
- Spock:...Right.
- Kirk: Right?
- Spock: Check!
[ later ]
- Kirk: Check?
- Spock: Right!
[edit] The Immunity Syndrome
- Spock: Brace yourself. The area of penetration will no doubt be sensitive.
- Spock: Tell Doctor McCoy... he should have wished me luck.
- Spock: Do not risk the ship further on my behalf.
- Leonard McCoy: Shut up, Spock! We're rescuing you!
- Spock: Why, thank you, Captain McCoy.
[edit] A Private Little War
- Nona: There is an old custom among my people. When a woman saves a man's life, he is grateful.
- Leonard McCoy: Killing is stupid and useless.
- Apella: I thought my people would grow tired of killing, but you were right. They see that it is easier than trading, and it has pleasures. I feel it myself. Like the hunt, but with richer rewards.
- James T. Kirk: The only solution is what happened back then. Balance of power.
- Leonard McCoy: And if the Klingons give their side even more?
- James T. Kirk: Then we arm our side with exactly that much more. A balance of power— the trickiest, most difficult, dirtiest game of them all, but the only one that preserves both sides.
- James T. Kirk: War isn't a good life, but it's life.
- James T. Kirk: We're very tired, Mr. Spock. Beam us up home.
- [Last line]
[edit] Return to Tomorrow
- Sargon: There comes to all races, an ultimate crisis which you have yet to face.
- James T. Kirk: I don't understand.
- Sargon: One day our minds became so powerful we dared think of ourselves as gods.
- Spock: No, he's not.
- James T. Kirk: Risk... Risk is our business. That's what this starship is all about. That's why we're aboard her.
- Henoch: [in Spock's body] This is an excellent body, Doctor. I seem to have received the best of the three-- strength, hearing, eyesight all far above your human norms. I'm surprised the Vulcans never conquered your race.
- Leonard McCoy: The Vulcans worship peace above all, Henoch.
- Leonard McCoy: I will not peddle flesh. I'm a physician.
- Thalassa: [in Dr. Anne Mulhall's body] Oblivion together does not frighten me, beloved.
[edit] Patterns of Force
- James T. Kirk: Unbelievable. Do you recognize those uniforms?
- Spock: Mid-20th century Earth. The nation state called Nazi Germany.
- James T. Kirk: You look, uh, quite well, for a man who's been utterly destroyed, Mister Spock.
- Spock: You should make a very convincing Nazi, Captain.
- Eneg: Punishment becomes ineffective after a certain point. Men become... insensitive.
- Daras: You mean that the Fuhrer is an alien?
- Melakon: [studying Spock] Note the sinster eyes and malformed ears...definitely an inferior race.
- Melakon: [studying Spock] Note the low forehead, denoting stupidity.
- John Gill: Even historians fail to learn from history. They repeat the same mistakes.
- James T. Kirk: Very good, Spock. We'll make a human out of you yet.
- Spock: I certainly hope not!
[edit] By Any Other Name
- Rojan: We do not colonize. We conquer. We rule. There is no other way for us.
- Kelinda: This cultural mystique surrounding the biological function.
- James T. Kirk: Yes?
- Kelinda: You realize humans are overly preoccupied with the subject.
- James T. Kirk: You have a question?
- Kelinda: Yes, I was wondering... would you please apologize to me again? [She wants another kiss from him.]
- Montgomery Scott: It's green.
[edit] The Omega Glory
- James T. Kirk: A star captain's most solemn oath is that he will give his life, even his entire crew, rather than violate the Prime Directive.
- Leonard McCoy: The infection resembles one developed by Earth during their bacteriological warfare experiments in the 1990s. Hard to believe we were once foolish enough to play around with that.
- Cloud William: Freedom?
- James T. Kirk: Spock.
- Spock: Yes, I heard, Captain.
- Cloud William: It is a worship word, Yang worship. You will not speak it.
- James T. Kirk: Well, well, well. It is... our worship word, too.
- Sirah: Yes, it is written. Good shall always destroy evil.
- Dr. McCoy: Spock, I've found that evil usually triumphs...unless good is very, very careful.
[edit] The Ultimate Computer
- James T. Kirk: There are certain things men must do to remain men.
- Leonard McCoy: We're all sorry for the other guy when he loses his job to a machine. But when it comes to your job, that's different. And it always will be different.
- Spock: Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them. Captain, a starship also runs on loyalty to one man, and nothing can replace it or him.
- James T. Kirk: Do you know the one... "All I ask is a tall ship?"
- Leonard McCoy: It's a line from a poem, a very old poem, isn't it?
- James T. Kirk: Twentieth century Earth. "All I... ask is a tall ship and a star... to steer her by." You... You could feel the wind at your back in those days. The sounds of the sea... beneath you, and even if you take away the wind and the water... it's still the same. The ship is yours. You can feel her. And the stars are still there, Bones.
- James T. Kirk: That thing murdered one of my crewmen, and now you tell me you can't turn it off?!
- Richard Daystrom: It wasn't a deliberate act. M-5's analysis told it it needed a new power source. The Ensign simply got in the way.
- Leonard McCoy: Please, Spock, do me a favor and don't say it's "fascinating."
- Spock: No... but it is... interesting.
- Richard Daystrom: When a child is taught, it's programmed with simple instructions, and at some point, if its mind develops properly, it exceeds the sum of what it was taught, thinks independently.
- James T. Kirk: Genius doesn't work on an assembly line basis. Did Einstein, Kazanga or Sitar of Vulcan produce new and revolutionary theories on a regular schedule? You can't simply say, "Today I will be brilliant."
- Leonard McCoy: If a man had a child who'd gone anti-social, killed perhaps, he'd still tend to protect that child.
- Starfleet Command: You are authorized to use all measures available to destroy the Enterprise.
- Spock: Every living thing wants to survive.
- M5: Murder is contrary to the laws of man and God.
- Leonard McCoy: Compassion: that's the one things no machine ever had. Maybe it's the one thing that keeps men ahead of them.
[edit] Bread and Circuses
- Septimus: Our way is peace.
- Spock: They do seem to have escaped the carnage of your first three world wars, Doctor.
- Proconsul Claudius Marcus: The games have always strengthened us. Death becomes a familiar pattern. We don't fear it as you do.
- McCoy to Spock: I'm trying to thank you, you pointy-eared hobgoblin!
- Spock: You humans have that emotional need to express gratitude. "You're welcome," I believe is the correct response.
- James T. Kirk: Caesar and Christ... they had them both.
[edit] Assignment: Earth
- Spock: Without facts, the decision cannot be made logically. You must rely on your human intuition.
- Gary Seven: That, Miss Lincoln, is simply my cat.
- Spock: Live long and prosper.
[edit] Season 3
[edit] Spock's Brain
- Leonard McCoy: His brain is gone.
- Kara: Brain and brain-- what is brain?!
- James T. Kirk: No one may kill a man. Not for any purpose. It cannot be condoned.
[edit] The Enterprise Incident
- Spock: It would be illogical to assume that all conditions remain stable.
- Romulan Commander: Romulan women are not like Vulcan females. We are not dedicated to... pure logic and the sterility of non-emotion.
- Spock: Military secrets are the most fleeting of all.
[edit] The Paradise Syndrome
- Montgomery Scott: Me bairns ... me poor, wee bairns!
- Miramanee: The sooner our happiness together begins, the longer it will last.
- Salish: You bleed, Kirok! Behold the god who bleeds!
- Miramanee: [to Kirk, her husband] Each kiss... is as the first.
- [Last words, last line.]
[edit] And the Children Shall Lead
- Children: Busy! Busy! Busy!
- Children: Hail, hail, fire and snow. Call the angel, we will go. Far away, for to see. Friendly angel, come to me.
- Professor Starnes: Alien upon us... the enemy from within...
- Spock: Evil does seek to maintain power by suppressing the truth.
- Leonard McCoy: Or by misleading the innocent.
- James T. Kirk: Most legends have their basis in fact.
- Hikaru Sulu: Captain, stay away from the controls! If you touch them, we'll be destroyed!
- Spock: Without followers, evil cannot spread.
- Gorgan: Death to you all...
- [Gorgan's last words.]
[edit] Is There in Truth No Beauty?
- Larry Marvick: Don't love her! She'll kill you if you love her! I love you, Miranda.
- [Marvick's last words]
- Leonard McCoy: He's dead, Jim.
- Dr. Miranda Jones: I suppose it has thorns.
- James T. Kirk: I never met a rose that didn't.
- Dr. Miranda Jones: The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity.
- Spock: And the way our differences combine to create meaning and beauty.
- Spock: Live long and prosper.
[edit] Spectre of the Gun
- Montgomery Scott: Half a gallon of scotch.
- James T. Kirk: We fight only when there is no other choice. We prefer the ways of peaceful contact.
[edit] Day of the Dove
- Klingon Officer: Four thousand throats may be cut in one night by a running man.
- Kang: You will die of suffocation in the icy cold of space.
- James T. Kirk: There's another way to survive-- Mutual trust and help.
- Spock: No one can guarantee the actions of another.
- Spock: Those who hate and fight must stop themselves, Doctor, otherwise it is not stopped.
- Kang: Only a fool fights in a burning house.
[edit] For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky
- Natira: Is not that the nature of men and women? That the pleasure is in the learning of each other?
- Natira: Is truth not truth for all?
[edit] The Tholian Web
- Pavel Chekov: Has there ever been a mutiny on a starship before?
- Spock: Absolutely no record of such an occurrence, Ensign.
- Leonard McCoy: What the devil?
- Spock: The renowned Tholian punctuality.
- Spock: We must accept the fact that Captain Kirk is no longer alive.
- Leonard McCoy: There's no hurry, Mr. Spock. The antidote probably doesn't concern you. Vulcans are probably immune. So just take your time.
- Montgomery Scott: What is it [the antidote]?
- Leonard McCoy: It's a diluted theragen derivative.
- Spock: Theragen-- a nerve gas used by the Klingons.
- Montgomery Scott: Aye, and deadly, too. What are you thinking of, Doc? Are you trying to kill us all?
[edit] Plato's Stepchildren
- Leonard McCoy: The release of emotions, Mr. Spock, is what keeps us healthy-- emotionally healthy, that is.
- Spock: That may be, Doctor. However, I have noted that the healthy release of emotion is frequently very unhealthy for those closest to you.
- Alexander: Become one of them?
- Spock: Take care, young ladies, and value your wine; Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime; Deeply they'll swallow from your finest kegs; Then swiftly be gone; Leaving bitter dregs; Ah, ah, bitter dregs. With smiling words and tender touch; Man offers little and asks for so much; He loves in the breathless excitement of night; Then leaves with your treasure in cold morning light; Ah, ah... in cold morning light.
- [Maiden Wine, also known as Bitter Dregs]
- Parmen: Uncontrolled, power will turn even saints into savages. And we can all be counted upon to live down to our lowest impulses.
[edit] Wink of an Eye
- Deela: We have the right to survive.
- James T. Kirk: Not by killing others.
[edit] The Empath
- Vian: Their own fears killed them.
- Leonard McCoy: I'm a doctor, not a coal miner.
- Montgomery Scott: I would say that she [Gem] was a pearl of great price.
[edit] Elaan of Troyius
- Elaan: Were you responding to my demand for better quarters?
- James T. Kirk: There are none better. I suggest you make do with these.
- Elaan: You suggest?!
- James T. Kirk: There are no more available, but if that's the only way you can get gratification, I'll arrange to have the whole room filled from floor to ceiling with breakable objects.
- Elaan: I did not give you permission to leave.
- James T. Kirk: I didn't ask for any.
- Ambassador Petri: Captain, when I am near them, I do not want peace, I want to kill them!
- James T. Kirk: You're as bad as she is. It's not required that you like each other. Just... do your job.
- Elaan: We have granted your crew the permission not to kneel in our presence. What else do you want?
- James T. Kirk: The prejudices people feel about each other disappear when they get to know each other.
- James T. Kirk: Mr. Spock, the women on your planet are logical. That's the only planet in this galaxy that can make that claim.
- Montgomery Scott: Maneuver? Aye, we can wallow like a garbage scow against a warp-driven starship.
- Spock: The antidote to a woman of Elas, Doctor, is a starship. The Enterprise infected the Captain long before the Dohlman.
[edit] Whom Gods Destroy
- James T. Kirk: They were humanitarians and statesmen, and they had a dream-- a dream that became a reality and spread throughout the stars.
- Garth of Izar: Queen to Queen's Level Three, Captain Kirk.
- Marta: You mustn't stop me. He's my lover, and I have to kill him.
- Spock: Queen to King's Level One.
- Spock: What maneuver did we use to defeat the Romulan vessel near Tau Ceti.
- Kirk or Garth as Kirk: Very good, Spock. The Cochrane deceleration.
[edit] Let That Be Your Last Battlefield
- Spock: Change is the essential process of all existence.
- James T. Kirk: I do not bargain for control of my ship.
[edit] The Mark of Gideon
- Spock: We must acknowledge once and for all that the purpose of diplomacy is to prolong a crisis.
- Spock: Lieutenant Uhura, has Starfleet honored our request with a reply?
- Uhura: There has been no response as yet, sir.
- Spock: Did you advise them the Captain's life is at stake?
- Uhura: Yes, sir. They insist the matter must be referred to the Federation.
- Spock: What department?
- Uhura: The Bureau of Planetary Treaties.
- Spock: Contact them directly.
- Uhura: I did, Mr. Spock. They insist that we must go through Starfleet channels.
- Spock: Your Excellency, I am basically a scientist. Clarity of formulation is essential in my profession, also.
- Hodin: I am glad to hear it. Perhaps you could then make greater effort to choose your words more precisely.
- Odona: There are so many of us. So many. There is no place... no street, no house, no garden, no beach, no mountain that is not filled with people. Each one of us would kill in order to find a place alone to himself. They would willingly die for it... if they could.
- Hodin: The people of Gideon have always believed that life is sacred. That the love of life is the greatest gift. That is the one unshakable truth of Gideon. And this overwhelming love of life has developed our regenerative capacity and our longevity.
- James T. Kirk: And the great misery which you now face.
- Hodin: That is bitterly true, Captain. Nevertheless, we cannot deny the truth which shaped our evolution. We are incapable of destroying or interfering with the creation of that which we love so deeply-- life in every form-- from fetus to developed being.
[edit] That Which Survives
- Hikaru Sulu: Once in Siberia, there was a meteor so great that it flattened whole forests and was felt as...
- James T. Kirk: Mr. Sulu, If I'd wanted a Russian history lesson, I'd have brought along Mr. Chekov.
- [Sulu was referring to the Tunguska event in 1908.]
- Hikaru Sulu: What a terrible way to die.
- James T. Kirk: There are no good ways.
- Spock: Beauty is transitory, Doctor. However, she was evidently highly intelligent.
- James T. Kirk: Kirk to Enterprise. Five to beam up. I don't agree with you, Mr. Spock.
- Spock: Indeed, Captain?
- James T. Kirk: Beauty... survives.
- [Last lines]
[edit] The Lights of Zetar
- Pavel Chekov: I didn't think Mr. Scott would go for the brainy type.
- Hikaru Sulu: I don't think he's even noticed she has a brain.
- Montgomery Scott: Well, I'm sure that's what the Lieutenant wants. She just didn't understand. [to Lt. Romaine] Did you now, lass?
- Christine Chapel: [imitating Scotty's brogue] Well, with a bedside manner like that, Scotty, you're in the wrong business.
- James T. Kirk: Scotty, where have you been? Where are you?
- Montgomery Scott: In the Sick Bay.
- James T. Kirk: Are you sick?
- Montgomery Scott: Oh, no. I was just checking on the lass. She's going to be fine and there's nothing wrong with her.
- James T. Kirk: Well, I'm relieved to hear your prognosis, Mr. Scott. Is the doctor there with you or will I find him in Engineering?
- Montgomery Scott: Mira has tried to tell me all along that she was seeing things in advance.
- James T. Kirk: Why didn't you report it?
- Montgomery Scott: You don't report space sickness. That's all I thought it was.
- Zetarians: [in Lt. Romaine] You will all die.
- Spock: You mean... love as motivation? Hmm. Humans do claim a great deal for that particular emotion.
[edit] Requiem for Methuselah
- Flint: Death, when unnecessary, is a tragic thing.
- Spock: The joys of love made her human, and the agonies of love destroyed her.
- Leonard McCoy: You see, I feel sorrier for you than I do for him, because you'll never know the things that love can drive a man to... the ecstasies, the miseries, the broken rules, the desperate chances, the glorious failures, and the glorious victories. All of these things you'll never know, simply because the word "love" isn't written into your book.
- Spock: Forget.
- [Last line]
[edit] The Way to Eden
- Pavel Chekov: I believe I know one of them. At least, I think I recognize her voice. Her name is... Irina Galliulin. We were in Starfleet Academy together.
- James T. Kirk: One of those... was in the Academy?!
