Let That Be Your Last Battlefield Line-by-Line

[Spock .]

BELE: Yes, you were free, if you knew how to use your freedom. You were free enough to slaughter and to burn all the things that had been built!

 

[Spock .]

BELE: Yes, you were free, if you knew how to use your freedom. You were free enough to slaughter and to burn all the things that had been built!

Sorry...
LOKAI: I tried to break the chains of a hundred million people. My only crime is that I failed. To that I do plead guilty.

 

[Orac]

Bele: There is an order in things. He asked for utopia in a day. It can't be done.

 

[Kertrats47]

LOKAI: Not in a day. And not in ten times ten thousand years by your thinking. To you, we are a loathsome breed who will never be ready. Genocide for my people is the plan for your utopia.

 

[Spock .]

BELE: You insane, you filthy little plotter of ruin. You vicious subverter of every decent thought. Oh, you're coming back to pay for your crimes!

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

LOKAI: I know you and all those with whom you're plotting to take power permanently. When I return to Cheron, you will understand what power is. I will have armies of followers.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: It's now very clear you know each other extremely well, gentlemen. The only service this ship can offer is to bring you together. It is not a battlefield.

 

[Athena28]

LOKAI: Captain, I led revolutionaries, not criminals. I demand political asylum. This ship is a sanctuary.

 

[Spock .]

KIRK: I'll tell you once more. For you, this ship is a prison.

 

[May 20]

BELE: Captain, it is imperative that you return Lokai to Cheron for judgment.

 

[Kertrats47]

KIRK: Commissioner, Cheron is not a member of the Federation. No treaties have ever been signed. Your demand for possession of this prisoner cannot be honored. There are no extradition procedures to allow it. Is that clear, Commissioner Bele?

 

[Orac]

Bele: Captain, I hope you will be sensible.

 

[Kertrats47]

KIRK: How do you mean?

 

[May 20]

BELE: Co-operation.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: I cannot take sides.

 

[May 20]

BELE: Since I am without a vessel to return to Cheron, I insist that you take us there immediately.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

KIRK: Impossible. I have a mission to accomplish. There's a planet to be decontaminated. Millions of lives are at stake. Once that has been completed, I'll return to Starbase Four and turn you both over to the authorities. You can make your case to them.

 

[Orac]

Bele: I am sorry, Captain. That will not be satisfactory, not at all satisfactory.

 

[Spock .]

KIRK: Commissioner, as a visiting dignitary from a far planet, I offer you every hospitality aboard this ship. Choose any other course,

 

[May 20]

BELE: You're the captain.
