"Amok Time" Line by Line

T'PAU: Do not attempt to speak with him, Kirk. He is deep in the plak-tow, the blood fever. He will not speak with thee again until he has passed through what is to come. If thee wishes to depart, thee may leave now.
 
McCoy: Ma'am, I don't understand. Are you saying that she has rejected him, that she doesn't want him anymore?
 
T'PAU: He will have to fight for her. It is her right. T'Pring: thee has chosen the kal-if-fee, the challenge. Thee are prepared to become the property of the victor?
 
T'PAU: Spock, does thee accept the challenge according to our laws and customs?

(A single nod. T'Pring looks at the young man who followed her in.)
 
T'PRING: As it was in the dawn of our days, as it is today, as it will be for all tomorrows, I make my choice. This one.

(She steps past the expectant Stonn and points at Kirk.)
 
T'PAU: Kirk? T'Pring is within her rights, but our laws and customs are not binding on thee. Thee are free to decline with no harm on thyself.
