And The Children Shall Lead Line-by-Line

KIRK: So we were told. Mister Spock, the pictures. The children are waiting.

(Film of the children playing with their parents appears on Spock's overhead monitor. They smile as they watch themselves having fun. Then they see their parents lying dead, and the smiles are gone.)
 
KIRK: Not always, Gorgan. Not this time. You can't hide from them. They see you as we see you. They know what you are. Even the children learn.
 
GORGAN: You are my future generals. Together we can raise armies of followers. Go to your posts! The first great victories are upon us. You will see. We have millions of friends on Marcos 12. We shall exterminate all who oppose us! Our purity of purpose cannot be contaminated by those who disagree, who will not co-operate, who do not understand. They must be annihilated.
 
(But now the children are crying.)

KIRK: Don't be afraid. Look at him. Without you children, he's nothing. The evil remains within him.
 
(Gorgan becomes ugly.)

Gorgan: I command you! I command you! To your posts! Carry out your duties, or I will destroy you! You will be swept aside to make way for the strong.
 
KIRK: Look how ugly he really is. Look at him and don't be afraid.
 
GORGAN: Death. Death to you all. Death to you all. Death to you all. Death to you all.

(Gorgon fades away. Sulu's swords vanish. McCoy enters.)
