"Tomorrow is Yesterday" Line-by-Line

FLIGHT [OC]: We have two flights scrambled and on the way. They should rendezvous in your sector in two minutes.

 

CHRISTOPHER: I won't be here. The UFO's climbing away fast.

 

[Bridge]

FLIGHT [OC]: Bluejay 4, you are ordered to close on the UFO. and attempt to force him to land. We want it brought down or at least disabled until the other planes arrive.

 

Christopher: Acknowledged. Closing on target.

 

SPOCK: Positive identification, Captain. Aircraft is an interceptor, equipped with missiles, possibly armed with nuclear warheads. If he hits us with one, he might damage us severely, perhaps beyond our capacity to repair under current circumstances.

 

KIRK: Scotty, activate tractor beam. Lock onto that aircraft and hold it out there.

 

SPOCK: Captain, this type of aircraft might be too fragile to take our tractor beam.

 

SCOTTY [OC]: Tractor beam on, sir. We have the target.
(The bright light of the tractor beam forces Captain Christopher to lower his visor)

 

SPOCK: Aircraft is breaking up, Captain.

 

KIRK: Transporter room, can you lock onto the cockpit of that aircraft?

 

KYLE: Scanning area, sir.

 

KIRK: Try and beam that pilot aboard. Take over, Mister Spock.

[Transporter room]

(From his seated position strapped into his fighter, Captain Christopher is beamed aboard standing up.)
KIRK: Welcome aboard the Enterprise.

 

CHRISTOPHER: You speak English.

 

KIRK: That's right. You can step off the transporter.

 

CHRISTOPHER: Captain John Christopher, United States Air Force. Serial number 4857932.

 

KIRK: Relax, Captain, you're among friends. I'm Captain James T. Kirk.

 

CHRISTOPHER: What's going on here? Where am I? What happened? You people, who are you?

 

KIRK: All in good time, Captain. Meanwhile, let me apologize for bringing you aboard the ship so abruptly, but it couldn't be helped. I didn't know that your craft couldn't stand up to our tractor beam.

 

CHRISTOPHER: Don't give me any double-talk. Just tell me who you are.

 

KIRK: We'll tell you what we decide to tell you in a few moments. In the meantime, relax. You're our guest. I have a feeling you'll find it interesting.
