"Requiem for Methuselah" Line-by-Line

FLINT: I must.

 

Spock: What will you feel for him after we are gone?

 

MCCOY: All emotions are in play, Mister Flint. You harm us, she hates you.

 

Kirk: Give me back my ship. Your secret is safe with us.

The model of the Enterprise disappears and the ship is back in orbit.

That's why you delayed the processing of the Ryetayn. You realized what was happening. You kept us together, Rayna and me, because you knew I could bring her emotions alive. And now you're just going to take over.

 

FLINT: I shall take what is mine when she comes to me. We are mated, Captain, alike, immortal. You must forget your feelings in this matter, which is quite impossible for you.

 

KIRK: Impossible? Impossible. From the beginning, you used me. I can't love her, but I do love her. And she loves me.

 

Flint: NO!

 

(They tussle)

SPOCK: Captain, your primitive impulses will not alter the circumstances.

 

Kirk: Stay out of this! We're fighting over a woman.

 

SPOCK: No, you're not, for she is not.

 

Flint gets the upper hand on Kirk

Rayna: I cannot be the cause of this. I will not be the cause of this. Please stop! Stop! I choose where I want to go.

 

(The men stop fighting in astonishment)

(Finishing)
RAYNA: what I want to do. I choose. I choose.

FLINT: Rayna!

 

Rayna: No. Do not order me. No one can order me!

 

KIRK: She's human. Down to the last blood cell, she's human. Down to the last thought, hope, aspiration, emotion, she’s human. The human spirit is free. You have no power of ownership. She's free to do as she wishes.

 

Spock: Gentlemen, I urge you to stop. There is a danger.

 

FLINT: No man beats me.

 

Kirk: I don't want to beat you. This is no test of power. Rayna belongs to herself and she claims the human right of choice to be as she wills, to do as she wills, to think as she wills.

 

Flint: That's what I've worked for.

 

Kirk: Rayna, come with me.

 

Flint: Stay.
