"Mirror, Mirror" Line-by-Line!

[Vanyel]

Kirk: Put phasers on standby Mr. Sulu.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: A serious breach of orders Captain.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: I have my reasons. And I'll make them clear to you, in my own good time.

 

[LeadHead]

Uhura: Captain, I have the leader of the Halkan waiting on Channel D.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: It is useless to resist us.

 

[LeadHead]

Tharn: We do not resist you.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: You have 12 hours to reconsider your position.

 

[LeadHead]

Tharn: 12 years, Captain Kirk, or 12,000. We are ethically compelled to deny you demand for our dilithium crystals, for you would use their power to destroy.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: We will level your planet. Take what we want. That is destruction. You will die as a race.

 

[LeadHead]

Tharn: To preserve what we are.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: We will not argue. 12 hours, no more. Close communications. Turn phasers off.

 

[LeadHead]

Sulu: Aye Sir.

 

[Vanyel]

Spock: 12 hours captain? That is unprecedented.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: I shall be in my quarters. Lieutenant Uhura, have Doctor McCoy and Mister Scott meet me there.

Uhura starts to object to being left on the bridge by herself, Kirk quickly stops her. Chekov presses a button on his console and walks to the turbolift foyer and joins Kirk.

 

[Vanyel]

Good night Leadhead and thank you for flying TransAmerica.

 

[Captain Robert April]

That was absolutely the worst landing in the history of this airport.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: Captain, you've placed yourself in a most grave position. This conduct must be reported.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: You're at liberty to do so, Mister Spock.

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Turbolift]
CHEKOV: Deck five, sir?

(As Kirk leaves the lift, someone punches him in the face and he is grabbed.)


[Corridor]
CHEKOV: (holding a phaser on Kirk) So you die, Captain, and we all move up in rank. No one will question the assassination of a captain who has disobeyed prime orders of the Empire.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Kirk: Captain's log, supplemental. I command an Enterprise where officers apparently employ private henchmen among the crew, where assassination of superiors is a common means of advancing in rank.
