"Balance of Terror" Line-by-Line!

[Enterprise1981]

COMMANDER: No. No, he's shrewd, this starship commander. He tries to make us waste energy. He has estimated we have only enough. It is time. All debris into disposal tubes.

 

[Orac]

Decius: Yes, Commander.

 

[HarryM]

COMMANDER: The body of the Centurion, too. Forgive me, my old friend, but I must use all my experience now to get home.

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Bridge]

SPOCK: Motion sensor signal stopped.

 

[BlueStuff]

KIRK: Cease fire.

 

[HarryM]

SULU: Debris scatter ahead, sir. We've hit him.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: Vessel wreckage. Metal molds, conduit, plastoform and a body, Captain. However...

 

[Orac]

Kirk: However?

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: Insufficient mass, sir.

 

[HarryM]

KIRK: What?

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: Simple debris. Not a vessel, a trick.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Go to sensor probes.

 

[Orac]

Spock: Nothing, sir. No motion out there at all. We've lost them, Captain.

 

[LeadHead]

Captain's Log Stardate 1709.6. We are at the Neutral Zone. Have lost contact with the Intruder. No reaction on our motion sensors but believe the Romulan Vessel to be somewhere close by; with all engines and systems shut down. The Enterprise is also playing the silent waiting game, in hope of regaining contact.

 

[Orac]

Spock: Captain, I must make further repairs on the transfer coil. It's giving out again.

 

[HarryM]

KIRK: All right, Mister Spock, work quietly.

 

[Alienesse]

[Romulan ship]

DECIUS: Now twenty full cycles, Commander. Still no sign. I say he's been fooled. He must have gone on.

 

[Admiral Shran]

COMMANDER: Shh. He is there, somewhere. I feel it.

 

[Athena28]

Captain's log, supplemental. Now motionless for nine hours, forty seven minutes.

[Kirk's quarters]

(Yeoman Rand walks in without knocking, to find the Captain lying on his bed.)

RAND: Can I get you something from the galley, sir? Coffee, at least?

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRK: Thank you, Yeoman. Bring it to the Bridge. I'll be there in a moment.
