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

Sulu: Beings intelligent enough to have destroyed the Enterprise?

 

KIRK: That's the problem, Sulu. We have only questions. No answers.

 

[Engineering]

(Scotty is trying to track down the source of his feeling, and a man in a red boiler suit keeps looking over his shoulder.)

Scotty: Watkins, check the bypass valve on the matter/antimatter reaction chamber. Make sure it's not overheating.

 

No prob!

Watkins: But Mr. Scott, the board shows correct.

 

Scotty: I didn't ask you to check the board, lad.

 

WATKINS: Yes, sir.

 

(Watkins goes off into an adjoining room and checks a console and some panels in there. Then he is confronted by Losira.)
WATKINS: Who are you?

LOSIRA: My name is not important. Yours is Watkins, John B. Engineer Grade four.

 

WATKINS: You know all about me. I've never seen you before.

 

LOSIRA: Show me this unit. I wish to learn.

 

WATKINS: This is the matter-antimatter integrator control. That's the cut off switch.

 

LOSIRA: Not correct. That is the emergency overload bypass, which engages almost instantaneously. A wise precaution, considering it takes the antimatter longer to explode once the magnetic flow fails. I am for you, Mister Watkins.

 

WATKINS: Mister Scott, there's a strange woman who knows the entire plan of the Enterprise.

 

(But by the time Scott gets there, Watkins has screamed and Losira has turned sideways into a vertical line, then vanished.)
SCOTT: Oh, you poor lad. Scott to bridge. Scott to bridge.

 

[Bridge]

SPOCK: Spock here.

 

SCOTT [OC]: My assistant, Watkins, is dead.

 

SPOCK: Do you know what he died of, Mister Scott?

 

SCOTT: I didn't see it happen, but his last words were a warning cry about some strange woman.

 

SPOCK: Security alert, all decks. Female intruder, extremely dangerous. Security alert, all decks.

 

[Planet surface]

(Dusk is falling, the sky is a dark purple.)

KIRK: Conclusions?

 

SULU: The basic substance of this planet is an alloy of diburnium-osmium. It couldn't have evolved naturally.
