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

Losira: That is not important. You are Lieutenant Sulu. You were born on the planet Earth. You're helmsman for the Enterprise.

 

SULU: How do you know this? Where did you get this information? Are you from this planet?

 

Losira: I am from here.

 

SULU: Then the planet is hollow. Who killed Lieutenant D'Amato? All right. The captain will want to talk to you. That way. Move!

 

Losira: You do not understand. I have come for you.

 

SULU: What do you want?

 

Losira: I want to touch you.

 

SULU: You were on the Enterprise. Keep back! Stop or I'll shoot! I don't want to have to kill a woman.
(Sulu fires his phaser at her feet, then at her. It has no effect.)
SULU: Captain Kirk! Captain Kirk!
(As he backs away, Sulu falls over a stone. Losira manages to brush his shoulder before he gets away, screaming in pain, and Kirk steps in front of her.)

 

Kirk: Hold it! Who are you?

 

LOSIRA: I am for him. I am for Lieutenant Sulu.

 

SULU: Don't let her touch you, Captain! That's how D'Amato died. Phasers won't stop her.

 

LOSIRA: I am for Lieutenant Sulu. Please, I must touch him.

 

(She puts her hand on Kirk's shoulder, but it doesn't hurt him. He pushes her away.)
KIRK: How can you destroy others and not me?

 

LOSIRA: I don't want to destroy. I don't want to...

 

KIRK: Who are you? Why are you trying to kill us?

 

LOSIRA: Only Sulu. I mean you no harm.

 

KIRK: Are there men on this planet?

 

LOSIRA: Please, I must touch him. I am for Lieutenant Sulu.

 

KIRK: No!

(Losira goes two-dimensional, then vanishes.)

KIRK: Bones, did you see that? Maybe Spock was wrong. Perhaps this is a ghost planet.

 

MCCOY: Well, all I know is she almost made a ghost out of Sulu. His shoulder, where she touched it, every cell's been disrupted. Exploded from within. If she'd really gotten a good grip on him, Jim.
