"Tomorrow is Yesterday" Line-by-Line

SPOCK: We've achieved a stable orbit out of Earth's atmosphere. Our deflectors are operative, enough to prevent our being picked up again as a UFO. And Mister Scott wishes to speak to you about the engines.

 

KIRK: Very well, Mister Spock. Anything else on your mind?

 

SPOCK: Captain Christopher.

 

KIRK: What about him?

 

SPOCK: We cannot return him to Earth, Captain. He already knows too much about us and is learning more. I do not specifically refer to Captain Christopher, but suppose an unscrupulous man were to gain certain knowledge of man's future? Such a man could manipulate key industries, stocks, and even nations. and in so doing, change what must be. And if it is changed, Captain, you and I and all that we know might not even exist.

 

KIRK: Your logic can be most annoying.

KIRK: Computer on. Record.

COMPUTER: Computed and recorded, dear.

 

KIRK: Computer, you will not address me in that manner! Compute!

 

COMPUTER: Computed, dear.

 

KIRK: Mister Spock, I ordered this computer and its interlinking systems repaired.

 

SPOCK: I have investigated it, Captain. To correct the fault will require an overhaul of the entire computer system and a minimum of three weeks at a Starbase.

 

KIRK: I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't get so affectionate.

 

SPOCK: It also has an unfortunate tendency to giggle.

 

CHRISTOPHER: I take it that a lady computer is not routine.

SPOCK: We put in at Cygnet Fourteen for general repair and maintenance. Cygnet Fourteen is a planet dominated by women. They seemed to feel the ship's computer system lacked a personality. They gave it one. Female, of course.

 

CHRISTOPHER: Well, you people certainly have interesting problems. I'd love to stay around to see how your girlfriend works out, but
