[having heard of Kirk's alibi for the Enterprise crossing the Neutral Zone, the Romulan Bird of Prey's female commander meets Spock]
I must admit some surprise on seeing you, Spock. We were not aware of Vulcans aboard the Enterprise.
Starfleet is not in the habit of informing Romulans of its ships' personnel.
Quite so. Yet there are certain ships, certain officers, that are known to us. Your situation appears most interesting.
What earns Spock your special interest?
He is a Vulcan. Our forebears had the same roots and origins. Something you wouldn't understand, Captain. We can appreciate the Vulcans, our distant brothers. I have heard of Vulcan integrity and personal honour. There's a well-known saying, or is it a myth, that Vulcans are incapable of lying?
Then tell me truthfully now, by your honour as a Vulcan, what was your mission?
I reserve the privilege of speaking when it will not violate my honor as a Vulcan.
It is not a lie to keep the truth to oneself.
[Spock explains to the Romulan Commander that the Federation engineered the ruse to get the cloaking device]
You realize that very soon we will learn to penetrate the cloaking device you stole.
Obviously. Military secrets are the most fleeting of all. I hope that you and I exchanged something more permanent.
Well, if all the shouting's over up there, I'd like for you to report to Sickbay.
Well, you're due in surgery. I'm going to bob your ears.
[Kirk reacts to that, not wanting such an unpleasant experience.]
Captain... please go. Somehow they do not look aesthetically agreeable on humans.
Well, are you coming, Jim, or do you want to go though life looking like your first officer?
Me bairns ... me poor, wee bairns!

You bleed, Kirok! Behold the god who bleeds!
Time, Dr. McCoy, is the one thing we do not have in abundance. [In "Star Trek: TNG" (episode: "Contagion"), Captain Picard says almost the same line to Geordi La Forge. It has become a catch-phrase for Trekkies.]

[to Kirk, her husband] Each kiss... is as the first.

Alien upon us... the enemy from within...
Humans do have an amazing capacity for believing what they choose and excluding that which is painful.
Evil does seek to maintain power by suppressing the truth.
Or by misleading the innocent.
Most legends have their basis in fact.
Without followers, evil cannot spread.
MJ Dr. Miranda Jones
I suppose it has thorns.
I never met a rose that didn't.
