"Day of the Dove" Line-by-Line

KIRK: Apparently you have a few things to learn about us. Detain them in the crew lounge. Programme the food synthesiser to accommodate our guests. You'll be well-treated, Kang.

 

KANG: So I have seen.

 

(Kang and Mara are led away.)

KIRK: Secure from Red Alert.

[Corridor]

(The weird light hides as Kirk and Spock leave the transporter room)

KIRK: But maintain general quarters. Scan this sector for other ships. Run a full check on the colony. I want this thing nailed down fast.

 

CHEKOV: We know what happened. That distress call.

 

SPOCK: At the moment we received the distress signal from the colony on Beta 12 A, the Klingons were too far distant to have been the attackers. Moreover, they also were apparently attracted by a distress call.

 

[Turbolift]

CHEKOV: Lies. They want to start a war by pretending that we did.

 

MCCOY: Chekov may be right. The Klingons claim to have honored the truce, but there have been incidents; raids on our outposts.

 

KIRK: No proof that Klingons committed it.

 

MCCOY: What proof do we need? We know what a Klingon is.

(Leaves the turbolift.)

 

SPOCK: Our log tapes will indicate our innocence in the present situation.

 

KIRK: Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that they will be believed.

[Bridge]

KIRK: Report.

 

UHURA: Still no contact with Starfleet Command, sir. Outside communications blanketed.

 

KIRK: Keep trying. We've got a diplomatic tiger by the tail.

 

SCOTT [OC]: Transporter room to Bridge. Klingon ship is vacated, sir.

 

KIRK: Very good, Scotty. Mister Sulu?

 

SULU: Forward phasers locked and ready to fire, sir.

 

KIRK: Fire phasers.

(The Klingon ship is vapourised.)

 

SPOCK: Sensor sweeps reveal no other ships within range, Captain.

 

KIRK: Lieutenant Uhura?

 

UHURA: No contact with Starfleet as yet, sir.
