Quotes
[Spock stuns Sulu, who is psychotically waving a fencing foil]
Spock: Take d'Artagnan here to sickbay!
Spock: I am in control of my emotions! Control of my emo -
[starts sobbing]
Riley: [over the intercom] Now, attention, cooks, this is your captain speaking. I'd like double portions of ice cream for the entire crew.
[the Enterprise is spiraling out of control toward a disintegrating planet, crewmen are going loopy as flies, and Riley, barricaded in the engine room, has been singing off-key over the ship's intercom for the last several hours. Rand enters the bridge hurriedly as Kirk drags an hysterically giggling Leslie away from the helm station]
Yeoman Rand: I would have gotten here sooner, sir, but Crewman Williams stopped me in the hall and...
Capt. Kirk: Take the helm!
Yeoman Rand: Sir?
Capt. Kirk: [shoving her into the chair] TAKE THE HELM!
Yeoman Rand: Yes, sir.
[Kirk pulls a semi-comatose crewman away from the engineering section as Riley's song comes to an end]
Riley: [over the intercom] And now... ONE MORE TIME.
Capt. Kirk: [stalking over to a frantically-working Uhura] At least TRY cutting him off!
Uhura: [shouting] Sir, if I could cut him off, don't you think I...?
[She suddenly remembers to whom she's speaking and visibly gets her temper under control]
Uhura: Yes, sir. I'll keep trying.
Capt. Kirk: [ruefully] Sorry.
[Uhura smiles back at him and gets back to work]
Dr. McCoy: Jim, he was decontaminated, he's been medically checked, we've run every test we know for everything that we know...
Capt. Kirk: That's not good enough!
Dr. McCoy: Well, we're doing everything that's possible.
Capt. Kirk: Bones, I want the impossible checked out, too.
Riley: You know what Joe's mistake was? He wasn't born an Irishman.
Riley: And now, crew, I will render 'Kathleen'... ONE MORE TIME!
Capt. Kirk: [murmuring to himself] Please, not again.
Riley: [over the intercom] Lt. Uhura, you've interrupted my song, uh... I'm sorry but there'll be no ice cream for YOU tonight.
Capt. Kirk: Cut him off.
Uhura: I can't, sir. There's no way to do it.
Riley: Attention, crew, this is Capt. Riley. There will be a formal dance in the bowling alley at nineteen hundred hours tonight.
Riley: You rang, sir?
Capt. Kirk: Who is this?
Riley: This is Captain Kevin Thomas Riley of the Starship Enterprise. And who's this?
Capt. Kirk: This is Captain Kirk. Get out of the engine room, Navigator. Where's Mr. Scott?
Riley: I've relieved Mister Scott of his duties.
Riley: Have no fear, O'Riley's here, and one Irishman is worth ten thousand of you...
Spock: You're relieved, Mister Riley! Lieutenant Uhura, take over this station
Spock: Yes sir!
Riley: Now that's what I like. Let the women work too! Universal suffrage...
Spock: Report to sickbay Mister Riley!
Riley: Sick bay? Exactly where I was headed. Sir!
Sulu: Stand, no farther. No escape for you. You'll either leave this war bloodied, or with my blood on your swords.
Uhura: All decks, alert system B-2. Repeat: go to Alert condition Baker 2. Seal off all main sections. Stand by.
Capt. Kirk: We've got to risk implosion. It's our only chance!
Spock: It's never been done.
Capt. Kirk: Don't tell me that again, Science Officer! It's a theory! It's possible! We may go up into the biggest ball of fire since the last sun in these parts exploded, but we gotta take that one in 10,000 chance!
Uhura: [over the intercom] Bridge to Captain: Engineer asks "Did you find..."
Capt. Kirk: Yes, I found Mr. Spock! I'm talking to Mr. Spock, d'you understand!
Uhura: [over the intercom] Yes, sir. Three and a half minutes left, captain.
[In a room alone, talking to the ceiling]
Capt. Kirk: Never lose you. Never.
Riley: [upon seeing that others have finally broken into Engineering to end his captaincy] No dance tonight.
Uhura: [over the intercom] Entering planet's outer atmosphere, sir.
Scotty: Captain!
Capt. Kirk: What is it?
Scotty: He's turned the engines off. They're completely cold. It'll take 30 minutes to regenerate them.
Uhura: [over the intercom] Entering planet's outer atmosphere, sir. Ship's outer skin is beginning to heat, Captain. Orbit plot shows we have about 8 minutes left.
Capt. Kirk: Scotty!
Scotty: I can't change the law of physics! I've got to have 30 minutes!
Capt. Kirk: [to Spock] Love. You're better off without it, and I'm better off without mine. This vessel... I give, she takes. She won't permit me my life; I've got to live hers!
Capt. Kirk: No beach to walk on.
Yeoman Rand: Sir?
Capt. Kirk: What is it?
Sulu: Nothing but gravity increase, sir. Like the planet reached out and yanked at us.
Capt. Kirk: Compensate.
Capt. Kirk: Mr. Spock?
Spock: Yes, sir.
Capt. Kirk: The Timewarp, what did it do to us?
Spock: We've regressed in time, 71 hours. It is now three days ago, Captain. We have three days to live over again.
Spock: [reviewing Tormolen's personality file] His capacity for self-doubt has always been rather high. What puzzles me is what brought it to the surface with such force.
Sulu: Richelieu, beware!
Capt. Kirk: The purpose of a briefing, gentlemen, is to get me answers based on your abilities and experience. In a critical orbit there's no time for surprise.
Scotty: Unless you people on the bridge start taking showers with your clothes on, my engines can pull us out of anything. We'll be warping out of orbit within a half second a' getting your command.
