"The Devil in the Dark'' Line-by-Line

KIRK: C'mon.

 

SPOCK: He never even had a chance to fire, Captain.

 

Kirk: It's only been seconds since we heard him scream. The creature must still be around.

 

(Spock uses his tricorder and notices something)

SPOCK: Captain...

 

KIRK What is it?

 

SPOCK: This tunnel. My readings indicate it was made within the hour. Moments ago, in fact.

 

KIRK: Are you certain?

 

SPOCK: Positive.

 

KIRK: This tunnel goes back as far as the eye can see. Our best machinery couldn't cut a tunnel like this, not even with phasers.

 

SPOCK: Indeed, Captain. I'm quite at a loss.

 

KIRK: Gone.

 

SPOCK: Disappeared. Astonishing that anything of that bulk could move so rapidly.

 

Kirk: These walls are hot.

 

Spock: Indeed. This tunnel was cut within the last two minutes.

 

GIOTTO Are you all right, Captain?

 

Kirk: Yes, perfectly

 

GIOTTO: Did you see it?

 

KIRK: Yes, we saw it. Where does the tunnel go?

 

SPOCK: Readings indicate a maze of tunnels of this general category in that direction.

 

GIOTTO: Did you shoot at it?
