"The Changeling" Line-by-Line

SCOTT: Ready, sir?

 

Nomad: Faulty!

 

KIRK: Nomad, you are imperfect!

 

NOMAD: Error. Error.

 

(Hey! We gon' finish this?!)

KIRK: Exercise your prime function.

 

NOMAD: Faulty! Faulty! Must sterilise. Sterilise,

(I'm for it if you are! )

 

KIRK: Now!

 

SCOTT: Energising.
(They observe the satisfying explosion on a monitor.)

 

[Bridge]

SPOCK: My congratulations, Captain. A dazzling display of logic.

 

KIRK: You didn't think I had it in me, did you Spock?

 

SPOCK: No, sir.

 

MCCOY: I thought you might like to know that Lieutenant Uhura is back to college level. She'll be back on the job within a week.

 

(WTF?!!)



KIRK: Good, Bones, good.

 

SPOCK: Remarkable.

(Yeah, that bugs me too. )

 

(can't pronounce "blue", but will soon be ready to take up starship duties. )

KIRK: What?

 

SPOCK: The destruction of Nomad was a great waste, Captain. It was a remarkable instrument.

( - I guess that means you or I can be presidents of the Federation)

 

KIRK: Which might well have destroyed more billions of lives. It's well gone. Besides, what are you feeling so badly about? It's not easy to lose a bright and promising son.

 

SPOCK: Sir?

 

KIRK: Well, it thought I was its mother, didn't it? Do you think I'm completely without feelings, Mister Spock? You saw what it did for Scotty. What a doctor it would've made. My son, the doctor. Kind of gets you right there, doesn't it?


Huzzah! Thanks for helping me close this one out, Alienesse! As well as complete about half the episode.

 

My pleasure, BlueStuff! Or as Uhura would say, Blu-eyStuff.
