"Balance of Terror" Line-by-Line!

[LeadHead]

Kirk: I don't see anything. I can't understand it.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: Invisibility is theoretically possible, Captain, with selective bending of light. But the power cost is enormous.
They may have solved that problem.

 

[LeadHead]

Uhura: Continuing to challenge, Sir. Still no response.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: Discontinue. Contact remaining outposts. Have them signal us any sightings or sensor readings in their area.

 

[HarryM]

UHURA: Yes, sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: Blip has changed its heading, and in a very leisurely maneuver. They may not be aware of us.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: Their invisibility screen may work both ways. With that kind of power consumption, they may not be able to see us.

 

[Admiral Shran]

SPOCK: His heading is now one eleven mark fourteen. The exact heading a Romulan would take, Jim, for the Neutral Zone and home.

 

[HarryM]

KIRK: Parallel course.

 

[Orac]

Stiles: Don't you mean interception course sir?

 

[HarryM]

KIRK: Negative. You and Mister Sulu will match its course and speed with the object on our sensors exactly, move for move. If he has sensors, I want him to think we're a reflection, an echo. Under no circumstances are you to cross into the Neutral Zone without my direct orders.

 

[BlueStuff]

Sulu: Acknowledged, sir.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: Cancel battle stations. All decks, standby alert.

 

[HarryM]

SULU: Cancel battle stations.

 

[Enterprise1981]

STILES: Captain, may I respectfully remind the Captain what has happened? The Romulans have crossed the Neutral Zone, attacked our outposts, killed our men.

 

[HarryM]

KIRK: Mister Stiles...

 

[Enterprise1981]

STILES: Add to that the fact it was a sneak attack.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Mister Stiles, are you questioning my orders?

 

[Orac]

Stiles: Negative sir, I'm pointing out that we could have Romulan spies aboard this ship!

 

[Leandar]

Sulu: I agree, sir. Respectfully recommend all decks maintain security alert.
