"Journey to Babel" Line-by-Line

[JanewayRulz!]

[McCoy's office]

SPOCK: Doctor.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: I see it Spock, but that was a Rigelian.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Rigellian physiology is very similar to Vulcan.

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: Similar is not good enough. It's still experimental.

 

[Captain Robert April]

SPOCK: But it does look promising.

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: Spock, we would need such great amounts of blood that even if the drug worked on The Vulcans as well as a Rigelian, Which I'm doubtful, it would still drain Sarek to a critical level.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: I consider the safety factor low, but acceptable.

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: Plus the fact I've never operated on a Vulcan before. Oh, I've studied the anatomical types, I know where all the organs are. But that's a lot different from actual surgical experience. So if I don't kill him with the operation, the drug probably will.

 

[KirkPicard]

AMANDA: What drug, Doctor? My husband is asleep. What drug?

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: A chemical stimulant to speed up reproduction and replacement of blood in the body. It's only experimental.

 

[Orac]

Spock: It has been used successfully on test subjects on Rigel 5.

 

[Leandar]

McCoy: It places a tremendous strain on the spleen and the liver. In Sarek's condition, the stimulant would kill him.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SPOCK: Miss Chapel? I underwent a physical examination last week. Would you pull those records, please?

 

[Leandar]

Chapel: Already pulled. You're perfectly healthy, Mr. Spock.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

MCCOY: What has that got ....

 

[Leandar]

Amanda: You're going to use it on yourself. A transfusion from... you to your father.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SPOCK: It would seem the only answer.

 

[Leandar]

McCoy: It could damage you internally. It could kill you. I'm sorry Spock, I can't sanction it.

 

[LeadHead]

Amanda: And I refuse to permit it. I won't risk both of you.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Then you automatically condemn Sarek to death. And you Doctor, have no logical alternative. If you do not operate, Sarek will die. You now have the means with which to perform the operation. I am volunteering myself as the blood donor. I'll be at my station until you require me.
