Court Martial Line-by-Line

[Athena28]

SHAW: The prosecution will build its case on the basis of Kirk versus the computer. Now if your attorney tries to defend on that basis, you won't have a chance.

 

[Oddish]

KIRK: "What other choice is there?"

 

[Soaraway]

SHAW: That's up to your attorney, and that's why he's got to be a good one.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

KIRK: You, perhaps?

 

[Orac]

Shaw: No, I'm busy.

 

[mattman8907]

KIRK: Well, a girl with your ability should be able to handle two cases at once.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

AREEL (changing the subject): Jim, be serious. You're not an ordinary human. You're a Starship Captain, and you've stepped into scandal. If there's any way they can do it, they'll slap you down hard and permanently for the good of the service.

 

[Athena28]

KIRK: You still haven't made any recommendation.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

AREEL: Samuel T. Cogley, Attorney at Law. If anyone can save you, he can. He'll be paying you a visit. Jim, I've got to go.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: Areel, you still haven't told me how you know so much about what the prosecution's going to do.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

AREEL: Because, Jim Kirk, my dear old love, I am the prosecution. (sadly) And I have to do my very best to have you slapped down hard. Broken out of the service, in disgrace.

[Kirk's room]

(Kirk is about to pour himself a drink.)
COGLEY: You Kirk?

 

[Athena28]

KIRK: Yes.

 

[Soaraway]

Still KIRK: (Notices the piles of books everywhere) What is all this?
COGLEY: I figure we'll be spending some time together, so I moved in.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

KIRK: I hope I'm not crowding you.

(I love Sam Cogley sooo much.)

 

[Soaraway]

COGLEY: What's the matter? Don't you like books?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

KIRK: Oh, I like them fine, but a computer takes less space.

 

[Orac]

Cogley: A computer, huh? I got one of these in my office. Contains all the precedents. The synthesis of all the great legal decisions written throughout time. I never use it.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

KIRK: Why not?

 

[Orac]

Cogley: I've got my own system. Books, young man, books. Thousands of them. If time wasn't so important, I'd show you something. My library. Thousands of books.
