Well, I had to see it to believe it.
Explain.
They're about to lop off the captain's professional head, and you're playing chess with the computer.
That is true.
Mr. Spock, you're the most cold-blooded man I've ever known.
Why, thank you, Doctor.

Mr. Cogley is well-known for his theatrics.
Is saving an innocent man's career a theatric?
SStone
Counsels will direct their remarks to the bench.
I'd be delighted to, sir, now that I've got something human to talk about. Rights, sir, human rights--the Bible, the Code of Hammurabi and of Justinian, Magna Carta, the Constitution of the United States, Fundamental Declarations of the Martian colonies, the Statutes of Alpha 3. Gentlemen, these documents all speak of rights. Rights of the accused to a trial by his peers, to be represented by counsel, the rights of cross-examination, but most importantly, the right to be confronted by the witnesses against him--a right to which my client has been denied.
SShaw
Your Honor, that is ridiculous! We've produced the witnesses in court. My learned opponent had the opportunity to see them, cross-examine them--
All but one! The most devastating witness against my client is not a human being. It's a machine, an information system, the computer log of the Enterprise.
I speak of rights. A machine has none. A man must. My client has the right to face his accuser, and if you do not grant him that right, you have brought us down to the level of the machine. Indeed, you have elevated that machine above us. I ask that my motion be granted, and more than that, gentlemen, in the name of humanity, fading in the shadow of the machine, I demand it. I demand it!
It is impossible for Captain Kirk to act out of panic or malice. It is not his nature.
LCLandru Computer
I am Landru. I am he. All that he was I am, his experience, his knowledge.
But not his wisdom. He may have programmed you, but he could not have given you a soul. You are a machine.
LCLandru Computer
Your statement is irrelevant.
Without freedom of choice there is no creativity.
It's time you learned that freedom is never a gift. It has to be earned.
How often mankind has wished for a world as peaceful and secure as the one Landru provided.
Yes. And we never got it. Just lucky, I guess.
I prefer the concrete, the graspable, the proveable.
You'd make a splendid computer, Mr Spock.
That is very kind of you, Captain!
Insufficient facts always invite danger.
Superior ability breeds superior ambition.
[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.
KKhan
Where am I?
You're in bed, holding a knife at your doctor's throat.
KKhan
Answer my question!
It would be most effective if you would cut the carotid artery, just under the left ear.
KKhan
[releasing McCoy] I like a brave man.
[taking knife from Khan] I was just trying to prevent an argument.
KKhan
Go! Or stay! But do it because it is what you WISH to do!
[To a guard] Sir, there's a multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder. [Uses Vulcan nerve pinch on guard]
