"The Corbomite Maneuver" Line-by-Line!

KIRK: More power.

 

SPOCK: We're superheating. Intermix temperature, seven thousand four hundred degrees. Seven five, seven six, eight thousand degrees. (everything is juddering, the little ship is getting brighter and brighter)

 

KIRK: Shear away, Mister Bailey.

 

SPOCK: Two thousand degrees above maximum. Eight four, eight five, eight six. She'll blow soon!

 

KIRK: Now, Mister Sulu. Impulse power two

 

BAILEY: We're breaking free, sir.

 

KIRK: All engines stop.

 

SULU: All engines stopped, sir.

 

SCOTT: Engines need work badly, Captain. Can you hold it here a few hours?

 

SPOCK: That may not be wise. If he got a signal through to the mother ship...

 

KIRK: Then we're not home yet.

 

UHURA: A signal, Captain. It's very weak. It's Balok. It's a distress signal to the Fesarius. His engines are out. His life-sustaining system isn't operating. The message is repeating, sir.

 

KIRK: Any reply?

 

UHURA: Negative, sir. The signal is growing weak. Sir, I doubt if the mother ship could have heard it.

 

KIRK: Plot a course for it, Mister Bailey.

 

KIRK: Plot a course for it, Mister Bailey.

 

SPOCK: For it, Captain?

 

KIRK: Dead ahead. This is the Captain speaking. First Federation vessel is in distress. We're preparing to board it. There are lives at stake. By our standards, alien life but lives nevertheless. Captain out.

 

BAILEY: Course plotted and laid in, sir.

 

KIRK: Mister Scott, ready the transporter room.
