"Journey to Babel" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Kirk: A personal receiver? Somebody on board is in contact with that vessel?

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Possibly, Captain. But I cannot decode this transmission.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: Why not?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SPOCK: It is in no known code. There's no detectable pattern. No standard references apply.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRK: Are any conclusions possible from the information?

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Only negative. It fits none of our computer records, and it is alien.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Murder? Someone out there playing tag? Lieutenant, you've got your sensor locator on a wide beam. You've established a receiver aboard this vessel. Tighten your field to the interior of the ship.

 

[Leandar]

Uhura: Yes, sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: If that alien vessel starts transmitting again, I want to know who on the Enterprise is receiving.

 

[Leandar]

(Act Two)

Kirk: Bones, how is he?

McCoy: As far as I can tell from instrument readings, our prime suspect has a malfunction in one of the heart valves. It's similar to a heart attack in a human. But with Vulcan physiology, it's impossible to tell without an operation. Mrs. Sarek, has he had any previous attacks?

 

[LeadHead]

Amanda: No.

 

[Leandar]

Sarek: Yes. There were three others. My physician prescribed Benjisidrine for the condition.

 

[LeadHead]

Amanda: Why didn't you tell me?

 

[Orac]

Sarek: There was nothing you could have done.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Ambassador, when did you have these attacks?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SAREK: Two before we left Vulcan, the third a few hours ago. I was on the observation deck. When the Tellarite was murdered, I was quite incapacitated.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: There were no witnesses?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SAREK: None.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: Doctor, do you propose surgery for the heart defect?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

MCCOY: I'm not sure. It's tough enough on a human. On a Vulcan, an ordinary operation's out of the question.
