And The Children Shall Lead Line-by-Line

[CaptVader]

KIRK: And you insist their behaviour indicates traumatic shock?

KIRK: And you insist their behaviour indicates traumatic shock?

 

[CaptVader]

MCCOY: I don't insist, Jim, but I can't dismiss the possibility.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Kirk: A child suppresses the fact that both parents are dead? I can't believe it.

 

[May 20]

SPOCK: Humans do have an amazing capacity for believing what they choose and excluding that which is painful.

 

[CaptVader]

KIRK: Not these children, to this extent. It's incredible.

 

[May 20]

MCCOY: What those children saw is incredible, Jim. The way those deaths occurred, any reaction is possible including lacunar amnesia. That's my diagnosis. Until specific tests can be made, it remains that.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Kirk: I'll be guided by that opinion, Doctor, for the present. What about questioning them?

 

[May 20]

MCCOY: Not until the fabric of the traumatization weakens or you come up with another explanation for their behavior. Forcing them to see this experience now could cause permanent damage.

 

[Athena28]

KIRK: Accepted, Doctor.

KIRK: Careful.

 

[May 20]

DON: I'm, I'm sorry, Captain Kirk.

 

[CaptVader]

KIRK: Children. Children, listen to me. It's late and it's time to go up to the ship.

 

[May 20]

DON: Oh, not yet.

 

[CaptVader]

MARY: But we're just beginning to have fun.

 

[May 20]

RAY: Not now.

 

[Athena28]

KIRK: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You'll go up with the doctor.

 

[May 20]

MCCOY: Come on. It's time to be going.

 

[CaptVader]

KIRK: Whatever happened here is locked up inside those children.

 

[May 20]

SPOCK: The attack on Professor Starnes' party must surely have been unprovoked.

 

[CaptVader]

KIRK: Attack? Mass suicide is what it seems to be.
