"I, Mudd" Line-by-Line!

[Orac]

Alice 210: But I'm identical in every way with Alice 27.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Yes, of course. That is exactly why I hate you. Because you are identical. (The android's badges blink, then go steady, then they freeze, and cease to function) Fascinating.

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Corridor]

MCCOY: All right, it's worked so far, but we're not out yet.

 

[Leandar]

(Spock enters)

Kirk: Well?

 

[Orac]

Spock: Success, Captain. We've been pruning the leaves and branches of the tree. Now it is time to get to work on the root.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: If Norman is the control center, he should be in a bind by what we've done. If we can overload him further, we should be able to immobilize all of them. Does everybody remember what to do?

 

[Orac]

Spock: Affirmative.

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: Aye, Sir.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Acknowledged.

 

[Orac]

[Computer area]

Norman: What are you doing here?

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: I want you to surrender.

 

[Orac]

Norman: That is illogical. We can move more quickly than you. We are invulnerable to attack. We are much stronger.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: No, we are stronger, and I'll prove it to you. Can you harm a man you're programmed to serve?

 

[Leandar]

Norman: No.

 

[Orac]

Mudd: But you already have, Norman, laddy. Human beings do not survive on bread alone, you poor soulless creature, but on the nourishments of liberty, for what indeed is a man without freedom? Naught but a mechanism trapped in the cogwheels of eternity.

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: (in a robotic voice) You offer us only well being.

 

[Orac]

Scotty: (in a monotone) Food and drink and happiness mean nothing to us. We must be about our job.

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: (in an android voice) Suffering in torment and pain. Laboring without end.

 

[Orac]

Scotty: Dying and crying and lamenting over our burdens.

 

[BlueStuff]

BOTH: Only this way can we be happy.
