"Bread and Circuses" Line-by-Line!

MCCOY: Naturally. You could hardly claim to be an angel with those pointed ears, Mister Spock. But say you landed someplace with a pitchfork.

(A gunshot rings out.)
 
SPOCK: Complete Earth parallel. The language here is English.
(Kirk tries to go for his phaser, and another shot hits the ground near his feet.)
 
SPOCK: There would seem to be evidence to that effect.

(Four men appear from behind rocks. They are wearing t-shirts with a short chain motif at the neck. The leader is barefoot and wearing shorts.)
 
Spock: Never. Colloquial twentieth-century English. An amazing parallel.
 
Kirk: We come from a place that's quite some journey from here. I doubt if you've heard...
 
FLAVIUS: Uniforms. Probably some new Praetorian guard unit. I should kill you here, but Septimus would probably be displeased. Move. Move!
 
^^^Finishing:

(As they are lead along, a guard whistles the signal that they are approaching, and two men come out of a hidden cave and meet at the cave entrance)

Flavius (cont.): I didn't harm them, Septimus, as much as I wanted to.

Septimus: (a very old man with a gentle way of speaking) Keep always in your mind, Flavius, that our way is peace.
