Chekov: "No casualties
reported, Doctor."
Bones: "Wrong Mr. Chekov. There are casualties...
my witts as in frightened out of Captain Sir." |
|
|
|
|
Clearey: "Transporter room, come in!
Urgent! Red-line on the transporter, Mr. Scott!"
Scotty: "Transporter! Do not engage!"
Clearey: "It’s too late! Are beaming now!" |
|
|
|
|
Kirk: "Evaluation, Mr. Spock."
Spock: "Fascinating." |
|
|
|
|
Spock: "It's
life, Captain, but not life as we know it." |
|
|
|
|
[Kirk apologizes for assuming command
from Captain Decker.]
Kirk: "I'm sorry, Will."
Decker: "No, Admiral. I don't think you're sorry.
Not one damned bit. I remember when you recommended me
for this command. You told me how envious you were and
how much you hoped you would get a starship command
again. Well sir, it looks like you found a way." |
|
|
|
|
[A transporter accident has just
occurred.]
Transporter chief: "Enterprise, what we got back
didn't live very long... fortunately." |
|
|
|
|
Capt. Kirk: "Well, for a man who
swore he'd never return to the Starfleet..."
Dr. McCoy: "Just a moment, Captain sir! Your
revered Admiral Nogura invoked a little-known,
seldom-used "reserve activation clause." In simpler
language, Captain, they DRAFTED me!"
Capt. Kirk [in mock
horror]: "They didn't!"
Dr. McCoy: "This was your idea! This was your idea,
wasn't it?!"
Capt. Kirk: "Bones, there's a thing out there."
Dr. McCoy: "Why is any object we don't understand
always called "a thing"?" |
|
|
|
|
Dr. McCoy: "Well Jim... I hear
Chapel's an M.D. now. Well I'm gonna need a top nurse...
not a doctor who'll argue every little diagnosis with
me. And they probably redesigned the whole sickbay, too!
I know engineers, they LOVE to change things." |
|
|
|
|
Captain Kirk: "Well, Bones. Do the
new medical facilities meet with your approval?"
Dr. McCoy: "They do not. It's like working in a
damn computer center." |
|
|
|
|
[Comments on the immense size of V'ger.]
Uhura: "It could hold a crew of... tens of
thousands."
Dr. McCoy: "Or a crew of a thousand ten miles
tall." |
|
|
|
|
[After Spock comments that, mentally,
V'ger is a child.]
Dr. McCoy: "Spock, this "child" is about to wipe
out every living thing on Earth! Now what do you suggest
we do? Spank it?"
Spock: "Each of us, at some time in our lives,
turns to someone - a father, a brother, a God - and asks,
"Why am I here? What was I meant to be?"" |
|
|
|
|
Captain Kirk: "There’s nothing you
could have done, Rand. It wasn’t your fault." |
|
|
|
|
Captain Kirk: "All right,
explanation! Why was my phaser order countermanded?!"
Decker: "Sir, the Enterprise redesign increases
phaser energy by channelling it through the main
engines. When they went into anti-matter imbalance, the
phasers were automatically cut off."
Captain Kirk: "Then you acted properly, of
course."
Decker: Thank you, sir. I’m sorry if I
embarrassed you."
Captain Kirk: You saved the ship…"
Decker: I’m aware of that, sir." |
|
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: "Permission to come
aboard?"
Chekov: "Granted, sir! Gran…(Spock walks off)…ted…" |
|
|
|
|
Dr. McCoy: (to Mr. Spock)
"Well, so help me, I’m actually pleased to see you!" |
|
|
|
|
Dr. McCoy: "Jim, if this
super-intelligence is as important to him as he says it
is, how do we know…"
Captain Kirk: "That he wouldn’t put his own
interests ahead of the ship’s? I could never believe
that." |
|
|
|
|
Captain Kirk: (as a weapon
approaches the Enterprise) "Spock…transmit now!" |
|
|
|
|
Decker: "Don’t interfere with it!"
Chekov: "Absolutely I will not interfere!" |
|
|
|
|
Captain Kirk:
"Let’s take a look. Full sensor scan, Mr. Spock. They
can’t expect us not to overlook them now."
Decker: Now that we’re looking down their
throat."
Captain Kirk: "Right, now that we’ve got them
just where they want us." |
|
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: "Captain, I am now quite
convinced that all of this is V’Ger…that we are inside a
living machine." |
|
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: (grabs Kirk’s hand)
"Jim…this simple feeling is beyond V’Ger’s
comprehension." |
|
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: "A simple binary code
transmitted by carrier wave signal. Radio." |
|
|
|
|
Dr. McCoy: "Jim, what the hell kind
of strategy is this?"
Captain Kirk: "If V’Ger destroys the Enterprise,
the information it requires will also be destroyed." |
|
|
|
|
Engineer: "Why has the captain
ordered self-destruct?"
Scotty: "I would say, lass, because he thinks…he
hopes…that when we go up, we’ll take the intruder with
us."
Engineer: "Will we?"
Scotty: "When that much matter and anti-matter
come together, oh yes, we will indeed!" |
|
|
|
|
Captain Kirk: (noticing that Mr.
Spock is crying) "Not for us?"
Mr. Spock: "No, Captain, not for us…for V’Ger. I
weep for V’Ger as I would for a brother. As I was when I
came aboard, so is V’Ger now. Empty, incomplete, and
searching." |
|
|
|
|
Decker: "Jim, I want this! As much
as you wanted the Enterprise…I want this!" |
|
|
|
|
Mr. Spock: "We witnessed a
birth…possibly the next step in our evolution." |
|
|
|
|
Captain Kirk: "Mr. Sulu, ahead warp
one."
Sulu: "Warp one, sir."
DiFalco: "Heading, sir?"
Captain Kirk: "Out there…thataway!" |
