"Return to Tomorrow" Line-by-Line

KIRK: No, we're not. Let's go.

 

SARGON [OC]: Please stand ready. I will operate your controls.

 

KIRK: Doctor, if you prefer to stay behind?

 

MCCOY: No, if I'd be useful as long as you're going down, I might as well take a medical look at whatever this is.

[Chamber]

SPOCK: Captain, the security guards.

 

KIRK: Kirk here.

 

SCOTT [OC]: Can you read me, Captain?

 

KIRK: Yes, Scotty, and I shouldn't be able to this deep inside the planet, but perhaps this has been arranged for us, too. Is the security guard up there?

SCOTT: They're fine. They Just didn't dematerialise.

[Chamber]

SCOTT [OC]: I don't like it, sir.

 

KIRK: No problem yet. Maintain alert. Kirk out.

 

MULHALL: Atmosphere report, Captain. A fraction richer in oxygen than usual for us, but otherwise normal.

 

SPOCK: This vault was constructed about a half a million years ago. About the same time the planet surface was destroyed, if our sensor readings are accurate.

 

KIRK: Composition of walls?

 

Kirk: Composition of walls?

 

Spock: They're an alloy or substance completely unknown to me. Much stronger and harder than anything I've measured before.

 

MULHALL: All readings are off the scale, Captain.

 

McCoy: The air seems fresh. It must be re-circulated somehow.

McCoy: The air seems fresh. It must be re-circulated somehow.

 

Kirk: Is that for us, or does it need fresh air?
