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

D'Amato: He's right, Captain. There's nothing there.

 

MCCOY: How could it be gone? What the devil does that mean, Jim?

 

Kirk: For one thing, it means we're stranded.

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It's five year mission: To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before.

 

SULU: The Enterprise must have blown up. That would explain the high radiation readings, wouldn't it, Captain? If the matter - antimatter engines-

 

KIRK: Shall we stop guessing, Mister Sulu, and try and establish a pattern? I get no readings of high energy concentration. If the Enterprise had blown up, it would have left a high residual radiation.

 

MCCOY: Could it be the Enterprise hit the planet?

 

SULU: Once in Siberia, there was a meteor so great that it flattened whole forests and was felt as far away as...

 

KIRK: Mister Sulu, if I'd wanted a Russian history lesson, I'd have brought along Mister Chekov. This is a matter of survival, gentlemen. Without the Enterprise, we need food, and we need water, and we need them fast. I want a detailed analysis made of this planet, and I want it now.

 

SULU: Aye, sir.

 

D'AMATO: Yes, sir.

 

KIRK: Mister Sulu. (Kirk hands back the tricorder)

 

Back on the Enterprise...

Scotty: Engineering, no damage. All power levels normal.

 

UHURA: Damage control report. Ship functioning normally. Many bumps and bruises. One casualty, Mister Spock. The transporter officer, he's dead.

 

Spock: Dead? Spock to sickbay.

 

M'BENGA [OC]: Sickbay, Doctor M'Benga.

 

Spock: Report on the death of the Transporter Officer.

 

[McCoy's office]

M'BENGA: We're not sure. Doctor Sanchez is conducting an autopsy right now.

Spock: Give me a full report as soon as possible, please. Spock out. Mister Scott, have the transporter checked for possible malfunction.

 

SCOTT: Aye, sir.

 

Rahda: No debris of any kind, sir. I've made two full scans. If the planet had broken up, there'd be some sign. But what bothers me is the stars, Mister Spock.
