Matt Decker quotes from Star Trek: The Original Series

[describing the planet killer] They say there's no devil, Jim, but there is. Right out of hell! I saw it!

Kirk

Matt, where's your crew?

On the third planet.

Kirk

There is no third planet.

Don't you think I know that?! There was, but not anymore! They called me, they begged me for help, 400 of them! I couldn't! I-I couldn't! [breaks into sobbing]

McCoy

You can't let him do this, Spock!

You are out of line, Doctor.

McCoy

So are you!

McCoy

...sir!

Kirk

Mr. Spock, relieve Commodore Decker immediately. That's a direct order.

You can't relieve me and you know it, according to regulations...

Kirk

BLAST REGULATIONS! Mr. Spock, I order you to assume command on my personal authority as Captain of the Enterprise.

Spock

Commodore Decker, you are relieved of command.

I don't recognize your authority to relieve me.

Spock

You may file a formal protest with Starfleet Command, assuming we survive to reach a Starbase, but you are relieved. Commodore, I do not wish to place you under arrest.

You wouldn't dare.

You're bluffing.

Spock

Vulcans never bluff.

No. No, I don't suppose that they do. Very well, Mr. Spock, the bridge is yours.
