"I, Mudd" Line-by-Line!

[KirkPicard]

KIRK [OC]: Acknowledge. This is the captain. Scotty, acknowledge. Scotty, what's going on down there?

 

[Enterprise1981]

(Norman has triumphed and is adjusting controls.)

SCOTT: Captain, he's here.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: Scotty? Scotty? Scotty? Security, the intruder is in the engineering section. Have all units converge on that point!

 

[Enterprise1981]

SULU: Sir, we're picking up speed. Warp five, six. Warp seven, sir.

 

[Athena28]

KIRK: Cut power.

 

[Leandar]

Sulu: I can't, sir. All the controls are jammed.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: Spock, take over.

 

[Leandar]

(Before Kirk can enter the turbolift, Norman comes out and onto the bridge, stopping Kirk with a hold on his arm)

Norman: That will not be necessary, Captain.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: Tell Security we've found the intruder. Do you mind telling me what this is all about, mister?

 

[Enterprise1981]

NORMAN: I am in total control of your ship. I have connected the matter-antimatter pods to the main navigational bank. A trigger relay is now in operation. Any attempts to alter course will result in immediate destruction of this vessel.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Spock?

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: Confirmed, Captain. He's taken out all the override controls. If we tamper without knowing where the trigger relay is, we could extinguish ourselves.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Who are you?

 

[Enterprise1981]

NORMAN: I assure you we are no threat to humanity or humanoid life. We mean you no harm, but we require your ship.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: You require... Who and what are you?

Norman pulls his shirt up past his stomach, opens a compartment and reveals android circuitry.

Kirk: An android.

 

[Orac]

Spock: And most sophisticated.

 

[Enterprise1981]

NORMAN: I control the trigger relay, sir. I cannot be overcome by physical means, and if you attempt to use your phasers, the trigger relay will be activated. We shall continue on our present course for approximately four solar days, at which time we shall arrive at our destination.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Who sent you?

 

[Enterprise1981]

NORMAN: I am not programmed to respond in that area.

 

[LeadHead]

Norman closes his eyes, Spock attempts a mind-meld

Spock: He seems to have simply shut himself off, Captain. And some we can not repair the damage he has done without destroying the ship...
