Star Trek

DeForest Kelley as McCoy: “Yes, I would agree that’s the case here.”

Leonard Nimoy as Spock: “It is totally alien in configuration.”

Lou Antonio as Lokai: “I demand political asylum.”

Kelley: “When in doubt, the book prevails, Mr. Spock. I’ve run tests. Blood is blood, even when it’s green, like yours.”

Kelley: “Now, I’ve enriched the oxygen content of his blood and pumped in a strong stimulant.”

Nimoy: “Change is the essential process of all existence.”

Walter Koenig as Chekov: “We’re on collision course!”

Nimoy: “You are certain, Doctor, that this pigmentation is the natural condition of this individual?”

Nimoy: “All gradations of color – from black to brown to yellow to white – are genetically predictable. We must, therefore, conclude that this alien is that often unaccountable rarity... a mutation – one of a kind.”

Frank Gorshin as Bele: “You’re coming back to pay for your crimes!”

Sfx: Computer bleep.

Nimoy: “Some of the memory banks in the computer are burned out.”

William Shatner as Kirk: “I command the computer. Mine is the final command.”

Antonio: “First you condemn and then attack.”

George Takei as Sulu: “I can’t understand it. I simply have no control.”

Antonio: “You’ve signed my death warrant.”

Shatner: “Our mission – to decontaminate.”

Shatner: “Advise the planet’s ministry of health that we’ll begin decontamination procedures immediately upon locking into orbit.”

Shatner: “Commence decontamination procedures. Advise when complete.”

James Doohan as Mr. Scott: “First run complete, Sir.”

Shatner: “Good. Repeat procedure for maximum effect.”

Doohan: “Aye, Sir... Ready to repeat decontamination procedure.”

William Shatner as Kirk: "I... will... destroy it!"

Gorshin: “You can no more destroy this ship than I can change color.”

Shatner: “Prepare to verify destruct sequence, code one.”

Sfx: The Enterprise’s computer thinking momentarily then signaling its readiness with a triple-beep.

Shatner: “Computer... this is Captain James Kirk of the U.S.S. Enterprise.”

Sfx: Computer thinking about that statement.

Shatner: “Destruct sequence one, code one, one-A.”

Sfx: Computer thinking about the code.

Enterprise computer: “Voice and code – one, one-A – verified and correct. Sequence one complete.”

Sfx: Triple beep.

(Note: Your webmaster believes the computer was voiced by Majel Barrett. She is known to have done so in other episodes.)

Computer: “Destruct sequence completed and engaged. Awaiting final code for 30-second countdown.”

Shatner: “Computer... This is Captain James Kirk of the U.S.S. Enterprise.”

Sfx: Computer thinking about that statement, followed by a triple beep.

Shatner: “Begin 30-second countdown, code zero, zero, zero... destruct, zero.”

Sfx: Computer thinking, with countdown beeping in the background.

Computer: “20 seconds...”

Shatner: “From five to zero, no command in the universe can prevent the computer from fulfilling its destruct orders.”

Computer: “15 seconds...”

Shatner: “I fail to see a significant difference.”

Antonio: “You’re an idealistic dreamer.”

Nichelle Nichols as Uhura: “Intergalactic treaty clearly specifies that no being can be extradited without due process.”

Gorshin: “I once heard that on some of your planets, people believe they are descended from... apes.”

Nimoy: “The actual theory is that all life forms evolved from the lower levels to the more advanced stages.”

Shatner: “Explanation, Mr. Spock.”

Nimoy: “Elusive, Captain. I am investigating.”

Shatner: “Give yourselves time to breathe! Give up your hate!”

Nimoy: “All that matters to them is their hate.”

Gorshin: “You are helpless, Captain.”

Antonio: “My cause is just! You must help me! All of you must help me!”

Antonio: “What a fool I am... expecting help from someone like you.”

Gorshin: “I will let nothing interfere.”

Nimoy: “Only the discipline of logic saved my planet from extinction.”

Antonio: “You’re being very loose with your accusations and drawing conclusions without any facts.”

Shatner: “Put it on the screen. Extreme magnification.”

Shatner: “Maximum magnification.”

Sfx: Maximization of the magnification.

Nimoy: “Coming within visual range now, Captain.”

Shatner: “Chekov, put it on the screen. Extreme magnification.”

Sfx: Extreme-ification of the magnification.

Shatner: “I’ve a mission to accomplish. Millions of lives are at stake.”

Gorshin: “That will not be satisfactory – not at all satisfactory.”

Shatner: “All hands... return to normal routine. Captain out.”

Doohan: “We’re goin’ nowhere mighty fast.”

Kelley: “Well, however we view him, Captain, he’s certainly no ordinary specimen.”

Shatner: “Phasers on stun... Fire.”

Sfx: Phasers firing.

Shatner: “Your prognosis, Doctor.”

Kelley: “Well, I can’t give you one, Jim. I’ve never worked on anyone like him or any thing like him.”

Shatner: “Red alert!”

Sfx: Red alert horn.

Shatner: “Lt. Uhura, put the ship on red alert.”

Sfx: Red alert horn.

Shatner: “All hands, this is the captain. The ship is on red alert. Repeat: the ship is on red alert.”

Nimoy: “With your permission, Captain, I shall do some further research and join you on the bridge.”

Koenig: “I... can’t get a response.”

Nichols: “It just seemed to go dead.”

Antonio: “Political sanctuary is my right.”

Nichols: “It doesn’t make any sense.”

Nimoy: “To expect sense from two mentalities of such extreme viewpoints is not logical.”

Antonio: “He raided our homes, tore us from our families, herded us together like cattle, and then sold us as slaves!”

Gorshin: “Slaves? That was changed thousands of years ago. You were freed.”

Antonio: “Freed? Were we free to be men? Free to be husbands and fathers? Free to live our lives in equality and dignity?”

Gorshin: “Yes, you were free, if you knew how to use your freedom! You were free enough to slaughter and to burn all the things that had been built!”

Gorshin: “They were savages, Captain. We took them into our hearts, our homes. We educated them.”

Antonio: “Yes, just education enough to serve the master race.”

Gorshin: “There is an order to things. He asked for utopia in a day. It can’t be done.”

Antonio: “To you, we are a loathsome breed who will never be ready. Genocide for my people is the plan for your utopia!”

Antonio: “See, you are from the planet Earth. There is no persecution on your planet. How can you understand my fear, my apprehension, my degradation, my suffering?”

Koenig: “There was persecution on Earth once. I remember reading about it in my history class.”

Takei: “Yes, but it happened way back in the 20th Century. There’s no such primitive thinking today.”

Antonio: “Do you know what it would be like to be dragged out of your hovel into a war on another planet? ... a battle that will serve your oppressor and bring death to you and your brothers.”

Antonio: “I am not a thief.”

Nimoy: “They have annihilated each other... totally.”

Kelley: “Touch-and-go there for a minute, but you’re out of danger now.”

Sfx: Hailing whistle.

Koenig: “Chekov to Captain Kirk. Chekov to Captain Kirk – urgent.”

Shatner: “Kirk here.”

Koenig: “Captain, we’re off course.”

Shatner: “Well, get back on course.”

Koenig: “That’s just it, Sir. The ship’s taken a new heading all by itself.”

Shatner: “We’re waiting for you to fulfill your commitment.”

Doohan: “We are now at warp 10, and the speed is increasing.”

Nimoy: “That description is not scientifically accurate.”
