Court Martial Line-by-Line

[Soaraway]

COGLEY: On a ship of this size, could a man evade such a search?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

KIRK: Possibly.

 

[mattman8907]

COGLEY: Gentlemen, I submit to you that Lieutenant Commander Ben Finney is not dead.

 

[Orac]

[Later on the Bridge]

Stone: Mister Cogley, we are waiting for proof of the extraordinary statement you made in the briefing room.

 

[May 20]

COGLEY: You shall have it, but first I need the co-operation of this court in conducting an experiment. Captain Kirk.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: Gentlemen, for the purposes of this experiment, it'll be necessary for all personnel, except for members of the court and the command crew, to leave the ship. I am ordering all others to report to the transporter room.

 

[Soaraway]

COGLEY: Including myself, sir.

 

[Orac]

Stone: This court is by no means adjourned, Mister Cogley.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

COGLEY: I have an errand ashore of vital importance to the purpose of this court, and I will return.

 

[May 20]

STONE: Very well.

 

[Orac]

Cogley: Thank you, sir.
(Leaves with the spare crew members.)

 

[Athena28]

STONE: Captain, are you maintaining an engine crew aboard?

 

[mattman8907]

KIRK: Our impulse engines have been shut down. We'll maintain orbit by momentum.

 

[Orac]

Krasnovsky: And when the orbit decays?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

KIRK: We hope to be finished long before that.
(A little later)
KIRK: Ready, Mr. Spock?

 

[Orac]

Spock: Affirmative, Captain.

 

[mattman8907]

KIRK: Gentlemen, this computer has an auditory sensor. It can, in effect, hear sounds. By installing a booster, we can increase that capability on the order of one to the fourth power. The computer should bring us every sound occurring on the ship.

 

[Rowdy Roddy McDowall]

(Toilet flushes on Deck Three)

 

[Orac]

Crewman [OC]: All personnel have left the ship as ordered, sir.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

KIRK: Dr. McCoy? All right, Mr. Spock.

(A cacophony of heartbeats comes over the bridge speakers.)

KIRK: Turn it down a little. Gentlemen, that sound is caused by the heartbeats of all the people on board the ship. Dr. McCoy will use this white sound device [which looks remarkably like a 20th century microphone ] to mask out each person's heartbeat so that it will be eliminated from the sounds we are hearing.
