''That Which Survives'' Line-By-Line

SULU: Aye, sir.

 

KIRK: Bones, see if you can find out anything about the vegetation and your parasite. How do they get their moisture? If you can discover how they survive, maybe we can.

 

(Sulu and D'Amato have headed off to do their analyses. Sulu contacts Kirk on his communicator)
SULU: Sulu to Captain.

 

KIRK: Kirk here.

 

(Elsewhere, D'Amato is wandering amongst the purple tipped vegetation and picking up handfuls of sand. He turns around and there is the woman.)
LOSIRA: Do not be afraid.

 

^ You missed a few...

SULU: Captain, I was making a standard magnetic sweep. From zero, I suddenly got a reading that was off the scale. Then, a reverse of polarity and now I get nothing. I've never seen anything like this reading. Like a door opened and then closed again.

KIRK: Kirk out.

(Elsewhere, D'Amato is wandering amongst the purple tipped vegetation and picking up handfuls of sand. He turns around and there is the woman.)
LOSIRA: Do not be afraid.

D'AMATO: I'm not. Geological disturbances don't frighten me. I've come here to study them. My specialty.

 

(Oops, sorry!)

LOSIRA: I know. You are Lieutenant D'Amato, Senior Geologist.

 

D'AMATO: That's right. How did you know that?

 

Losira: From the spaceship Enterprise.

 

D'AMATO: Yes, and we're stranded here. You been talking to my friends?

 

LOSIRA: Do not be afraid.

 

D'Amato: I'm not afraid.

 

LOSIRA: I am for you, Lieutenant D'Amato.

 

D'AMATO: You're, you're the woman on the Enterprise.

 

Losira: I am only for D'Amato.

 

D'AMATO: Lucky D'Amato. I want to have a conference about sharing your food and water.

 

Losira: Do not call the others. Please.

 

(Somewhere else, McCoy gets out his communicator.)
MCCOY: McCoy to Kirk.

 

Kirk: Kirk here.

 

MCCOY: Jim, I just got a life form reading of tremendous intensity. Suddenly it was just there.
