"I, Mudd" Line-by-Line!

MUDD: They've no respect for private property. They damaged the bloody spaceship. Well, I got away, but I couldn't navigate, so I wandered out through unmapped space, and here I found Mudd.
 
Spock: You went to substantial risk and effort to lure a starship here, logically you must have a compelling motive.
 
Mudd: Yes, well, right, laddybuck. So here I am in a planet with over two hundred thousand hard-working, happy androids, all of whom exist merely to serve my every whim. It's absolute paradise
 
Mudd: They won't let me go! They want to study me! They want to learn more about human beings.
 
Mudd: Watch your tongue, lad. You're talking about Mudd the First. Well, anyway, I ran out of ideas. I simply ran out of things for them to do, and they insisted that I bring them more human beings. They need human beings to serve, to study. So I had to promise them a prime sample. A starship captain. Bright, loyal, fearless and imaginative. Any captain would have done. I was lucky to get you. So you are going to take over for me here, and I can get off this rock and back to civilisation.
 
Mudd: You misunderstand me, lad. I'm not asking you. I'm telling you. You've no choice. Show them to their quarters.
 
Mudd: Ah. That, gentlemen, is a shrine to the memory of my beloved Stella.
