"Return to Tomorrow" Line-by-Line

McCoy: Well, I guess we're as ready as we'll ever be, Jim.

 

Kirk: Ready, Sargon. (The spheres emit a brilliant light, the patients twitch, then the spheres dim) (Kirk as Sargon speaks as his voice echoes) The transference is complete.

 

CHAPEL: Metabolic rate is double and rising, Doctor.

 

SPOCK: Hello. Oh, you are a lovely female. A pleasant sight to wake up to after half a million years.

 

CHAPEL: Thank you.

 

SPOCK: You're welcome.

 

MULHALL: I'd forgotten what it felt like even to breathe again. Sargon?

 

KIRK: Here. In this body.

 

MULHALL: I am not displeased, my husband. Your body is not unlike that which was your own.

 

KIRK: And I too am pleased, beloved.

 

MULHALL: After so long. So very long.

 

KIRK: Kiss. (So they do.)

 

SPOCK: This is an excellent body, Doctor. I seem to have received the best of the three. Strength, hearing, eyesight, all far above your human norms. I'm surprised the Vulcans never conquered your race.

 

MCCOY: Vulcans worship peace above all, Henoch.

 

SPOCK: Yes, of course, Just as we do, Doctor.

 

(Mulhall/Thalassa collapses and they help her back onto the bed.)
MCCOY: Nurse!

 

(Then Kirk/Sargon gets dizzy.)

Chapel: Doctor?

 

MCCOY: Henoch, you'd better get back to bed too.

 

SPOCK: It will be unnecessary, Doctor. This Vulcan body is accustomed to the higher metabolism.

 

MCCOY: Sargon, it won't work. You've got to get out before you kill them.
