"The Changeling" Line-by-Line

[Transporter room]

MCCOY: They've got the co-ordinates, Jim. It's locked in.

(See ya!)

 

KIRK: Energize.

 

SCOTT: Energizing.

(What looks like a satellite - antenna at the top, engine at the bottom and flashing lights on the side - is hanging in mid air over the transporter pad.)

 

KIRK: Sensor readings, Mister Spock.

 

Spock: Negative, Captain. It has a protective screen. I cannot get through.

 

MCCOY: What do we do now, go up and knock?

 

Nomad: Relate your point of origin.

 

KIRK: We are from the United Federation of Planets.

 

NOMAD: Insufficient response. All things have a point of origin. I will scan your star charts.

 

KIRK: If we show it a close-up view of our system, it has no point of reference. It won't know more than it does now.

 

SPOCK: A reasonable course.

 

Kirk: If you care to leave your ship, we'll provide the necessary life support systems.

 

NOMAD: Non sequitur. Your facts are uncoordinated.

 

McCoy: Jim, I don't think anybody's in there.

 

NOMAD: I contain no parasitical beings. I am Nomad.

 

Scotty: In my opinion, that's a machine.

 

SPOCK: It is reacting much like a highly sophisticated computer.

 

Nomad: I am Nomad. What is opinion?

 

SPOCK: An opinion is a belief, a view, a judgment.

 

NOMAD: Insufficient response.
