"Day of the Dove" Line-by-Line

MARA: They didn't harm me. Listen to him.

(Kang pushes her aside, so she throws Kirk a sword. The two leaders have an old-fashioned sword fight.)

Stop! Stop, please!
 
Kirk: Nobody wins. Have any more of your men died? We can't be killed. There's an alien aboard, it wants us alive.
 
KIRK: Look! Look, Kang. For the rest of our lives. A thousand lifetimes. Senseless violence, fighting, while an alien has total control over us.
(Kirk throws away his sword.)

KIRK: All right. All right. In the heart. In the head. I won't stay dead. Next time I'll do the same to you. I'll kill you. And it goes on, the good old game of war, pawn against pawn! Stopping the bad guys. While somewhere, something sits back and laughs and starts it all over again.
 
SPOCK: Those who hate and fight must stop themselves, Doctor. Otherwise, it is not stopped.
 
MARA: Kang, I am your wife. I'm a Klingon. Would I lie for them? Listen to Kirk. He is telling the truth
 
Kirk: Be a pawn, be a toy, be a good soldier that never questions orders!

(Kang looks at the weird light, then throws down his sword.)
 
Spock: All fighting must end, Captain, to weaken the creature before our dilithium crystals are gone.
 
KANG: This is Kang. Cease hostilities. Disarm.

(The fighting stops. The weird light turns orange.)
