Mr. Spock
- Dr. McCoy: You should taste his food. Straw would taste better than his meat, and water a hundred times better than his brandy - nothing has any taste at all.
- Mr. Spock: It may be unappetizing, doctor, but it is logical.
- Dr. McCoy: Ah, there's that magic word again. Does your logic find this fascinating, Mr. Spock?
- Mr. Spock: No, 'fascinating' is a word I use for the unexpected. In this case, I should think 'interesting' would suffice.
- Mr. Spock: The precise meaning of the word 'desert' is a waterless, barren wasteland. I fail to understand your romantic nostalgia for such a place.
- Dr. McCoy: Doesn't surprise me, Mr. Spock. I can't imagine a mirage ever disturbing those mathematically perfect brainwaves of yours.
- Mr. Spock: Thank you, Dr. McCoy.
- Mr. Spock: Captain.
- Captain James T. Kirk: Mr. Spock. Still thinking about Trelane, is that it?
- Mr. Spock: For the record, Captain, how do we describe him? Pure mentality? A force of intellect? Embodied energy? Super-being? He must be classified, sir.
- Captain James T. Kirk: [thinks a moment] God of War, Mr. Spock.
- Mr. Spock: Well, I hardly find that fitting.
- Captain James T. Kirk: Then a small boy. And a very naughty one at that.
- Mr. Spock: It WILL make a strange entry in the library banks.
- Captain James T. Kirk: But then he was a very strange small boy.
- Mr. Spock: [Reading from screen in bridge in his usual deadpan manner] "Hip-hip-hoorah?" And I believe it's pronounced "tallyho."
- Captain James T. Kirk: How were our scanners able to penetrate that radiation field?
- Mr. Spock: They didn't, Captain. Not clearly. We merely beamed up all life forms in a given area.
- Dr. McCoy: Which means Trelane is not a life form as we know it or he'd be beaming through now.
- Lt. Hikaru Sulu: Captain... we're about to warp.
- Lt. Vincent DeSalle: Large body ahead!
- Mr. Spock: [Spock studies his scanner] Collision course!
- Captain James T. Kirk: Hard to port, Mr. Sulu!
- [the Enterprise evades the planet]
- Mr. Spock: That was the planet Gothos, Captain.
- Captain James T. Kirk: Gothos? Mr. Sulu, have we been going in circles?
- Lt. Hikaru Sulu: No, sir. All instruments show on course.
- Mr. Spock: Gothos again, Captain!
- Captain James T. Kirk: [the planet has reappeared again in front of the ship, which evades it again, barely] Hard over, Mr. Sulu.
- Mr. Spock: Cat and mouse game...
- Captain James T. Kirk: With us as the mouse...
- Lt. Vincent DeSalle: There it is again, dead ahead!
- Captain James T. Kirk: Ninety degrees to starboard, Mr. Sulu
- Lt. Hikaru Sulu: Turning, Captain.
- Lt. Hikaru Sulu: [the planet moves to block their course changes] ... but not veering off from it.
- Captain James T. Kirk: Ninety degrees sub port, Mr. Sulu. Adjust...
- Lt. Hikaru Sulu: Turn completed... and still accelerating toward the planet!
- Mr. Spock: Or it toward us.
- Mr. Spock: If those peculiar signals are coming from Captain Kirk or Lieutenant Sulu, their rationality is in question.
- Spock: [Spock condemns Trelaine, an alien fop who has captured them] I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose.
