Star Trek: The Original Series · Season 1
The heroic captain and the intrepid doctor cross interstellar space to preserve our health! Oh, your sense of duty is overwhelming. Now, will you please go back where you came from and tell whoever issues your orders to leave me and my wife alone?!?
[After asking Crater to open his month] The machine is capable of almost anything, but I'll still put my trust in a healthy set of tonsils.
Mr. Spock, sometimes I think if I hear that word "frequency" again, I'll cry.
It is illogical for a communications officer to resent the word "frequency."
Then I'm an illogical woman. Why don't you tell me what an attractive lady I am? Or how your planet looks when the moon is full.
Vulcan has no moon, Miss Uhura.
I'm not surprised.
We're all aware of the need for salt on a hot and arid planet like this, Professor [Crater], but it's a mystery, and I don't like mysteries. They give me a bellyache and I got a beauty right now.
You bleed too much, Crater. You're too pure and noble. Are you saving the last of its kind... or has this become Crater's private heaven here? This thing becomes wife, lover, best friend, wise man, fool, idol, slave. It isn't bad to have everyone in the universe at your beck and call. You win all the arguments.
Check.
Checkmate.
Your illogical approach to chess does have its advantages on occasion, Captain.
I'd prefer to call it inspired.
As you wish.
Do you know about being with somebody? Wanting to be? If I had the whole universe, I'd give it to you, Janice. When I see you, I feel like I'm hungry all over. Do you know how that feels?
[to Charlie] You go slow, be gentle. It's no one-way street -- you know how you feel and that's all. It's how the girl feels too. Don't press. If the girl feels anything for you at all, you'll know.
Charlie, there are a million things in this universe you can have and there are a million things you can't have. It's no fun facing that, but that's the way things are.
What am I going to do?
Hang on tight and survive. Everybody does.
You don't!
Everybody, Charlie. Me too.
Mr. Spock?
[unemotionally] My legs. They're broken.
Let him go too, Charlie.
Why?
Because I'm telling you to. You need me to run this ship and I need him.
[Charlie has made Yeoman Janice Rand "Disappear"].
Where is Yeoman Rand? Dead? Gone?Destroyed?
I Won't Tell YOU
Have I ever mentioned you play a very irritating game of chess, Mr. Spock?
Irritating? [smiling] Ah, yes. One of your Earth emotions.
[Kirk considers Spock for a moment, then calmly moves one of his own chess pieces. Spock's smile fades and he frowns as he realizes the effect of Kirk's move]
Certain you don't know what irritation is?
The fact one of my ancestors married a human female...
Terrible having bad blood like that.
What makes you so right and a trained psychiatrist wrong?
Because she feels. I don't. All I know is logic.
Time to pray, Captain. Pray to me.
To you? Not to both of you?
Pray that you die easily.
There'll only be one of you in the end. One jealous god... if all this makes a god. Or is it making you something else?
Your last chance, Kirk.
Do you like what you see? Absolute power corrupting absolutely.
Before long we'll be where it would have taken mankind millions of years of learning to reach.
And what will Mitchell learn in getting there? Will he know what to do with his power? Will he acquire the wisdom?
Please go back while you still can.
Did you hear him joke about compassion? Above all else a "god" needs compassion! Mitchell!
